TAKE DOG FIGHTING SERIOUSLY





How would you like it if they took your kids away from you, put them in cages, beat them up and starve them in order to make them really angry, and then put them in a ring to rip each other apart for the entertainment and profit of others? Pretty fucked up right? Well, that's what they do to dogs and other types of animals. Take the Michael Vick story. A guy who had loads of money yet had a dog fighting rink, for what...? I say he was a vicious sadist who took pleasure out of seeing animals hurt each other. He's not the only one. However, he is now in jail and lost everything. WOOOORD! and I hope others like him suffer the same fate. Animal fighting should be a federal offense!

It's funny, I grew up in Puerto Rico where an old time national sport, practiced mostly by the "jibaros" or country people was the famous cockfights. Funny how when the majority of people in society, particularly those of the male gender, decide that something is OK, it just has no relevance how disgusting, barbaric or gruesome the action might be. We take it at face value and go... "sure...OK!"

It was not until later in my adolescence that I thought to myself "hummmm... there' something wrong with this picture." Why do we take pleasure in seeing living beings destroy each other? Well, let's ask the boxing fans. Which is interesting because at least in boxing, there are certain safety rules, they don't fight till the death, and they don't get starved or beaten before they go on the ring. Or punished if they don't do well. NO, they train like athletes, eat, sleep like the rest of us, and if they make money, they live like kings and spend the rest of the time partying and spending all the cash. Very different from the life of a dog used for the same purpose.

WE NEED TO TAKE  DOG FIGHTING SERIOUSLY. PLEASE VISINT THIS LINK AND SIGN A PETITION ASKING YOUR GOVERNOR TO TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY. IT JUST TAKES A FEW CLICKS! 


"THANK YOU! " on behalf of  dogs all over the world who can't write or speak to thank you themselves...
