Background on the Event
The Terminus City Ride to End Dog Fighting is the motorcycle and animal community's way of showing how much we care. The purpose of this ride is to bring awareness to the epidemic that is dog fighting. Our mission is to support the efforts of the men and women who dedicate their lives to enriching the lives of the animals that are tortured and abused. The motorcycle ride will benefit several non-profit 501 (c) foundations that seek to educate, advocate, and support the fight against animal abuse, neglect, and dog fighting.
Long before it was called Marthasville or Atlanta, this was Terminus City. Terminus City was a transportation hub and got it's name because this was where the major railroad lines terminated. We found the name very fitting for this cause. We are declaring this the END OF THE LINE for dog fighting.
