The Dog Wars app developed by Kage Games, LLC is disgusting and completely irresponsible. This "game" glorifies dog fighting and needs to be banned from the market immediately. The app actually teaches people how to dog fight. Google is promoting an illegal activity by allowing people to download this app on their site! The makers of this game have provided the following statement in their game description: "If you have a bug up your butt about the game concept, remember: it is just A VIDEO GAME." What's next, a game about pedophiles molesting children, drug trafficking or murder? Would that be ok since it's just a game? No way; the line needs to be drawn now. Kage Games and Google need to be responsible for the content on the marketplace. They need to do the right thing and remove this app.
We the undersigned,Kindly request the removal of Dog Wars Video Game from the marketplace.Dog Fighting is illegal in all 50 states, to glorifiy it in a game format is irresponsible. This "game" actually teaches people how to organize a dog fight. You are promoting an illegal activity. First by creating this very realistic game. Then by allowing people to download this app on your site! Fearfully we ask, what's next? This is a game is based on an activity with a lot of recent publicity. It's sad to say but many young people and children don't realize this is a crime. It's not hard to imagine children organizing neighborhood dogfights after learning how to from Dog Wars Video Game. We don't think this activity would be welcome in any neighborhood.Please know many of us hold you responsible for the content in the marketplace, and hope you will remove this application from the internet and and the game from the market in all forms. We realize out request is substantial; but feel it will benefit all parties involved.Thank you for taking the time to read our letter.
