Truth of Dog Fighting-
Fighting dogs were bred for stamina, Gameness--the willingness to keep going and not give up and wrestling ability. Any dogs that showed aggression towards humans were selected against. Fighting Dogs are trained by having weights put around their necks, use the treadmills, get put on a drugs such as a steroid. They are also chained up and not fed, but the trainers use bait such as stolen cats, rabbits, small dogs to get the dog to get use to the taste of blood. That way the dog is use to killing a live animal.
DOG FIGHTING IS A FELONY IN ALL 50 STATES!
Breeding a Fighting Dog-When they breed the dog they use a strap that immobilize female dogs for breeding purposes. Which is called-“Rape Stand” or “Breeding Stand.”
The losing dogs that do not die may be tortured, starved to death, or killed outright by their owners. Also the losing dog is left for dead or is immediatly killed because the owner feels that the dog is an embaressment and the owner is ashamed of the dog and thinks of dog as a worthless good for nothing. when a dog loses, this can cause the owner of the dog to lose not only money, but status, and may lead to brutal actions against the dog. Other animals, such as owned pets or strays may be stolen and used as "bait" to train fighting dogs, often suffering before they die.
Winning dog is used for breeding or may also die from wounds. There are many reasons people are attracted to dog fighting. The most basic is greed. Major dog fight raids have resulted in seizures of more than $500,000, and it is not unusual for $20,000 – $30,000 to change hands in a single fight. Stud fees and the sale of pups from promising bloodlines can also bring in thousands of dollars.The winning dogs pups can be sold for about $1500 or more, and also depends. Fighting lasts around two hours or whenever their is a winner and a loser. Both animals may suffer injuries ranging from puncture wounds, lacerations and blood loss to dehydration, crushing injuries and/or broken bones. Although fights are not technically fought to the death, many dogs succumb to their injuries.
There are different levels of dog fighting.
1.“Street” fighters engage in dog fights that are informal, street corner, back alley and playground activities. Also no rules. This is the worse one.
2. “Hobbyist” fighters are more organized, with one or more dogs participating in several organized fights a year as a sideline for both “entertainment” and to attempt to supplement income.
3. “Professional” dog fighters often have large numbers of animals (often 50 or more) and earn money from breeding, selling and fighting dogs at a central location and on the road.
TYPES OF PEOPLE INVOLVED: Gangs, Gamblers, children, Sports players such as Michael Vick, teachers, people that can be rich or poor. Also dog fighting can take place anywhere's the city, suburbs, rural, "country" anywheres where they are hidden. Dog fighters often face additional charges related to drug, alcohol and weapons violations as well as probation violations. Arguments over dog fights have also resulted in incidents that have led to charges of assault and even homicide. Other charges might include conspiracy, corruption of minors, money laundering, etc. Anyone that has been in jail/prison before and even School dropouts.
What Goes On In a Dog Fight?
Usually the fight takes place in a pit that is between 14 and 20 feet square, with sides that may be plywood, hay bales, chain link or anything else that can contain the animals. The flooring may be dirt, wood, carpet or sawdust. The pit has “scratch lines” marked in opposite corners, where the dogs will face each other from 12 to 14 feet apart. In a more organized fight, the dogs will be weighed to make sure they are approximately the same weight. Handlers will often wash and examine the opponent’s dog to remove any toxic substances that may have been placed on the fur in an attempt to harm the opposing dog. At the start of the fight, the dogs are released from their corners and usually meet in the middle, seeking to get a hold on the opponent, often shaking and tearing to maximize damage. Handlers are not permitted to touch the dogs except when told to do so by the referee.
