The Importance Of Dog Activism

There are some places where dog fighting is legal such as Fila Brasileiro, Dogo Argentino, the Tosa Inu and the Presa Canario and much more.

After a dogfight if/when the dog(s) get hurt the owners don 't treat any of the injuries. If the dog(s) die in a fight it is known as the biggest disgrace that could happen in a fight.

Dog fighting goes back to the 1750’s and was legal up until 1866 when Henry Bergh made dog fighting against the law in all 50 states.

Blue, a 9-month-old pitbull, was previously owned by dog fighters. Dog fighting is when you take two dogs (normally pitbulls) and their owners rile them up and then put them in a pit about 14-20 feet down and pin them up against one another and let them fight for human entertainment. For the most part they just let them hurt one another (they rarely do it to the death). Blue’s “owner” at the time would chain him up with thick painful metal chains

Exploitation is an act or action that is selfish and will only bring benefit to the exploiter. Animal exploitation is being practiced all over the world. Animals are being beaten and mistreated.

When examining the argument of whether BSL is fair to pit bulls, one must view both sides of the debate. The reason why the pit bull is thought of as such an aggressive dog, is that these dogs were bred specifically for their strength.

(DogTime) Over the last forty years the pit bull has been a large debate because of the amount of fatal attacks that have been from these dogs. "In 2015, the combination of pit bulls and rottweilers contributed to 91% of all dog bite-related fatalities."

Many people know about the existence of puppy mills. However, they do not know the true reasons why many animal cruelty prevention organizations have started attacking the basis of puppy mills.

The dogs bred in these puppy mills are typically damaged either physically or emotionally.
