Dog fighting is one of the most heinous acts of violence and cruelty towards animals there is. It is NOT cultural, it is EVERYWHERE being done by all kinds of people of all ages, ethnicities in all tax brackets.
Dog fighting is an organized, conscious choice to break the law made by dangerous sociopaths to brutally torture, mutilate and murder dogs for fun and money. The dogs they choose and FORCE to fight are primarily pit bull type dogs though other types are fought and used as bait too.
Some dog fights can last up to two hours only ending because of broken bones, exhaustion and death. The dogs who lose the fights are usually killed by shooting, drowning, electrocution, hanging and other unspeakable methods by their owners.
The isolation and abuse these dogs endure before they are forced to fight, the horrific fights themselves and the terrible deaths they endure after the fights makes what these dogs go through from beginning to end unimaginable.
Our society chooses to use millions of tax payer dollars to enforce ineffective and ignorant laws (BSL) in an effort to “make communities safer.” Yet FACTUALLY, what makes our communities unsafe are violent animal abusers. Lawmakers, law enforcement and city official’s jobs are to serve and protect us yet many choose to blame and ban the victims and refuse to focus on the abusers.
Factually, a common denominator among serial killers is they all tortured or murdered animals and people who abuse animals will likely and most often times DO go on to commit crimes against humans. This means you, your children and loved ones are not safe as long as animal abusers exist in our society.
MANY human lives would be saved and other crimes prevented if decision makers understood that what is happening to our dogs is a direct reflection of a very broken society. As community members it’s up to us to report dogfighting and abuse of any kind.
