Dog Fighting

How is dog fighting abuse?

• Dogs are forced to fight against each other.
• It is inhumane for people to fight other animals against each other for money and entertainment
• Many dogs a fatally injured juring these fights
• Many dogs lose their legs in a fight, and others may lose their sight.
• Dogs have their ears trimmed off and tails tucked close to their body so other dogs can't grab onto them
• These dogs may become vicious to people, even if they are trying to help the dog.

The most common type of dog used in dog fighting is pit bulls.  Because many people know about dog fighting, many think that pit bulls are horrible dogs. A lot of people hate pit bulls because they think that the dog will be vicious to everyone and attack anything it can.

Pit bulls have been genetically engineered so that they do not back down no matter what.  If you watch a fight between two puppies, its just for fun, and there are hardly ever any injuries. But pit bulls have been changed so that when they're in a fight, they will not let the other dog win until they are dead. Pit bulls are trained to fight even if they are injured or nearly dead. If they do not, they are often killed by their owners.
