Dog Fighting

German shepherds, Rottweilers, Boxers and many other breeds of dogs have something in common, these breeds are used for dog fighting. Dog fighting can be seen in America since around 1817 and earlier in other places around the world. Dog fighting is a cruel and common means for entrainment in some people’s lives. People train dogs to fight till the death with training. Training is by making the dogs fight bait animals that can’t defend themselves at all and if the dogs don’t kill them in training the bait animals are given to the fighting dogs to finish off and eat as a treat after they’ve trained. Dogs are also given drugs to make them more aggressive and are starved during training to make them more willing to fight Men use dog fighting as a way to gain honour and respect- if their dog wins they are the better trainer and man. People also use this “event/entertainment” to make money by placing bets on the dog they think will win and how long the dogs will last. The losing dog if it survives the fight is drowned or shot for losing the fight. Dog fighting is illegal in Ireland and other countries so people do it in less public places such as alley ways etc. Dog fighting is considered one of the worst displays of animal cruelty and is absolutely disgusting. Dog fighting not only kills many innocent animals but also gives some dog breeds a bad name even though if any breed of dog is brought upright and treated the way they should be there would be no trouble and less dogs would be killed for entertainment and “safety” as some people would think
