Stop Dogfighting Now!
Sponsored by: American Humane AssociationDog fighting is a cruel and brutal practice. The abuses are so gruesome that even experienced investigators are shocked by what they discover at dog fighting raids.
For the sake of human profit, the dogs are trained to kill. To ensure their aggression dogs are beaten, chained and fed gunpowder, illegal drugs and even live animals -- and sometimes they are not fed at all for long periods of time. In the end, dogs that do not win are either killed or left to die horrific and painful deaths.
The Federal Dog Protection Act addresses these issues of cruelty, providing much needed protection to the animals that are pulled into this barbaric blood sport. This bill is necessary to adequately punish anyone who not only operates and engages in, but also attends and otherwise supports, dog-fighting events. In addition, the bill bans the use of the U.S. Postal Service to mail dog fighting paraphernalia and has a civil suit provision.
That's why your help is crucial in putting an end to dog fighting. Sign this petition and let's protect dogs from this heinous practice once and for all.

Humans have to realise that every living thing (human and animals) deserves the right to an abuse and cruel free life.

Dog fighting is cruel and barbaric. Anyone who can stand and watch while dogs rip each other to pieces and find it enjoyable should be severely reprimanded. It is just so unnecessary.

This kind of brutality must end in every, single state in the U.S. - no exceptions!

Aside from the obvious cruelty involved, dog fighting simply promotes more a violent society.

Dog fighting must be stopped. It is inhumane and cruel. I think that the individuals that participate in this type of activity need to have their mental health assessed. There needs to be stiffer penalties and loinger jail time or prison time for these individuals. The dogs should not be destroyed unless they are incapable of being retrained and then only in dire circumstances.

This is cruel and inhuman and needs to be stopped. These people use decoy dogs to train their dogs, what is done is they take an innocent puppy or dog and let their dog kill it. I have dogs of my own and it tears at my heart to know this is allowed to happen in this country.
