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.

Why are we allowing the torture and killings of these creatures? What human being could stand by and let these poor animals suffer such unspeakable cruelty. This must end now! We as a people can not allow this to continue. We have to do all we can to stop this CRIME.

These animals are not meant to suffer these terrible acts by greedy people, these people don't care anything about the dog's welfare, just their own greed.

Dog fighting is a brutal practice, and those who partake in it should be locked up.

Dog fighting is sick, and wrong on so many levels. This makes me sick. Men like to fight in a cage or whatever. But, no this poor helpless animals. We are their protecters. If we don't stop this insane way of killing. What is to happen to the world??

Ces chiens ne doivent pas être victime du à l'ignorance de ces maitres, au lieux de punir ces chiens il faudrait punir les maitres qui ne méritent d'avoir des animaux.

Dogs need a serious law to protect them from abuse, abandonment, cruelty and wrongful entertainment (mainly dogfighting). It is our task to make sure they are and will always be protected, cared for, rescued and loved and have the kind compassionate owner and care that they all deserve.
