Country music star, Willie Nelson, has joined with the Best Friends Animal Society to fight dog fighting.

Recently Best Friends wanted to create a anti dog fighting PSA to air in Georgia while a anti-dogfighting bill moves thru the Georgia legislature.

The commercial has "Georgia on my mind" playing in the background while Willie Nelson talks into the camera.

This latest bill will make it be a felony to anyone who sells, trades or tranports any dog for dog fighting

Hee Haw!!

How you can help:

New Jersey Legislature: Please find your congressional person and contact them about sponsoring a strick anti dogfighting bill for the state of New Jersey.
