Item: Idaho may toughen dogfighting law: State one of only two in nation where crime is not considered a felony/Tom Greene, Coeur d'Alene Press

Where can a person force a living creature to fight to the death and if it fails wet it down then electrocute it, hang it, drown it or shoot it and face no more than a fine of $5000 and/or six months in jail?
