rape stand
 n.— «The chains allowed the dogs to get close to each other, but not to have contact, one of myriad findings on the property that suggested a dogfighting operation. Others included a rape stand, used to hold non-receptive dogs in place for mating; an electric treadmill modified to be used by dogs; a “pry bar” used to open the clamped-down mouths of dogs; and a bloodied piece of carpeting the authorities believe was used in dog fights.» —“Law enforcement raiding Vick’s property” in Surry, Virginia 6abc.com (WPVI-TV) (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) July 6, 2007.
