Dog fighting is a sadistic underground, well-organized illegal game that still hasn't got the legal attention it deserves. This blood sport was started many years ago by the rich and the famous and later promoted to all areas of the United States. Today this sport is seen as a basis of pure entertainment and is popular in the rural and urban areas. This illegal activity is banned in the United States but is practiced regularly in almost every state. In a typical dog fight, two dogs are specifically bred and are trained to fight each other. On the day of the fight they are placed in a small area enclosed by plywood and they fight for entertainment and gambling.

Shocking Dog Fighting Facts

People who love animals would obviously feel sad looking at such practices against them. Making animals fight each other, just for your personal gain is wrong and immoral. One of the most amazing facts about dog fighting is that this bloody sport is illegal in all the 50 states in America but still every year more than 1000 dogs are killed in various dog fighting events. In the US, all dog fighting breeds are generally referred as "Pit Bulls". The injuries that dogs suffer in these brutal fights are often very serious and fatal. The pit bulls used in these fights are specifically trained to be violent against animals so that people can enjoy a good fight. These dogs have extremely powerful jaws and can cause deep puncture wounds, broken jaws and bones and severe bruising. Most dogs that participate in these fights often die of excessive blood loss, body wounds, mental shock and dehydration. The ones which survive are so mentally and physically damaged that they render no use to the owner after that fight.

Since the time these dogs are born they are actually trained to be aggressive towards other animals. Having such dogs in the society poses a very serious threat towards animals and humans. These fights are actually a very sad way of entertainment and the reason its spreading like an epidemic because people invest lots of money by placing bets on which dog will win.

Most children that attend these events are forced to accept such bloodshed as a part and parcel of life. In many shady neighborhoods where gangs have a strong hold, there are small kids who conduct their own dog fights and force other kids to join in.
