Dog 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.

dear representative,I wish to say that if you own any kind of animal from a dog to a cat to even a small and furry critter that it would be terrible to see them being ripped limb from limb! all for greed! think for a moment, why are they any different from you? they have a heart, a brain and even a soul, that for some unfortunate dogs has been sold to to man, and there is nothing they can do about it! Also how is there life less valuable from anyone elses? i would like to hear ONE GOOD reason besides "their just animals". Thank you for listening to my plead for help to end this horrible sport. |

Why shouldn't it be stopped? It's violent and pointless. |

This type of gambling and useless sport, is not fun...It's Sick! These people have no morals, and need to be put away. These animals have a purpose and that is NOT to fight each other for the amusement of the mentally sick. Dogs are not born bad they are made bad, it's the "Owners" that make these dogs the way they are. These animals want love and companionship....But they are scarred physically, and mentally. These dogs will be scarred for the rest of their lives. |
