WORLD WORLDWIDE US USA GEORGIA - ANIMALS - Care2PETITIONS - 107 dogs had been abused in this violent dog-fighting ring

 

Who was involved in helping this dog-fighting network operate? A Dog-Fighting Operation Involved 107 Dogs That Were Traumatized, Injured, and Starving Sign Now    Dear friends, Dog-fighting is an extremely cruel "blood sport" in which humans entertain themselves by watching animals rip each other to shreds, and earn money by betting on "winners." Dogs trapped in this world only know lives of violence, cruelty, trauma, and fear — and they can never get out, unless a human helps them. That's why it was so alarming to learn that a man in Georgia had collected 107 dogs that he was using to breed, sell, and force into dog-fighting. When authorities investigated the situation, they found that most dogs showed indicators of having been abused. A veterinarian saw many that were covered in scars from fighting. Apparently there wasn't even any food, water, or shelter for the animals, leaving most malnourished. Some were even found captive in a basement, with urine and feces all over the floor. On top of that, the property revealed evidence of dog-fighting and dog-breeding. This included documents showing contact with other known dog-fighters and contracts for selling dogs. There was also equipment to train dogs to become more aggressive, and a "break stick" for humans to use during a fight. A judge has since convicted the man of animal abuse and dog-fighting. But it's important to make sure more dogs aren't harmed by identifying everyone involved. Sign the petition to urge Georgia authorities to find the rest of this dog-fighting ring!   Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. With so many dogs involved, there must be many people involved as well. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
