It is a wonder that people get satisfaction watching dogs fight. It is worse in other parts of the world, but still happens here in America. Usually the dogs in question are tough ones like Pit Bulls, but other dogs have been used. The results are most often death and or severe injury. Since it is against the law, it is done in secret. People gather around and bet on the winner. Sometimes the owner can make pretty good money if they have a tough enough dog. What’s worse is that illegal drugs are often sold at these fights.
These things have negative consequences on a community. With all the illegal activiyy going on, children are put at risk and their families. Even peoples pets are at risk. Many times in order to ‘train’ the fighting dog, they will steal other peoples pets to use as bait animals. That way the dog develops a hatred for other animals and will fight without hesitation. This of course puts anybody at risk if that dog happens to get loose. You can read more about this at the Humane Society.
