A Dog’s Life
One of the sickest forms of animal cruelty is now again on the rise. Dog fighting, again we see many countries involved in this sick degrading torture of our beloved puppies and adult dogs to even cats. People that we are investigating on so far range from Indonesia, Africa, India, Mexico, England, America, and many more all leaving the dogs in agonising pain.
There have been many bans imposed on dog fighting as of it being in the highest level of crime we know to date. Just like rhinoceros poaching these guys [very rarely women] are all involved in organised crime that spans from narcotics, fire arms, street and corporate crime to murder, kidnap rape and more. Who picks the pieces of these dogs, puppies or cats and kittens ? the rescue centres and veterinary staff. That’s if they are dumped alive and manage to make it to a rescue.
Some images ar so disturbing that we just can not publish but for this time only we are going to publish some images that we need information on to aid in their arrest and conviction of leading some very prolific high organised crime that is evident of serious animal abuse. We ask all of our readers to please share this page as these people must be apprehended and their organised crime rings shut down. All other information on these people we are keeping back as we do not want them going of the radar that will end up in more and more animals being abused and murdered for money and narcotics.
Dog fighting is a blood sport that has been around for many centuries and started of in ancient Rome when dogs were used in the coliseum’s for entertainment. The first one dead was the winner, before another then being thrown into the next fight, before the winner finally was savaged and then finished off. The sick circle then went on. Dog fighting has been on-going for some 600 years and reached its peak in the 16th century when it really did make a kick-start with street gangs.
Taking smaller dogs such as puppies and/or/ kittens was the best motive in order to agitate dog and make it more aggressive. Cats where mainly used as bait as dogs have a natural tendency to mostly hate them. Sadly though as they did not stand a living chance around the jaws of these dogs that had been forced to fight then other smaller dogs that were just as aggressive but not as strong were used to bait. Once the two were placed together and the dogs forced to fight the [main] fighting dog’s adrenaline then kicks in leaving the other dog dead or severely injured within 20-30 minutes.
Baiting is very cruel and to this day many dogs that you find on the motorways around Europe have most likely been baited. Their mouths and their legs taped up with massive amounts of flesh ripped from them. The bait dogs very rarely make it to live and are put through a living hell of pain that only one can describe as having a knife plunged in to you many times over.
I have seen a bait dog myself that was brought to us, the dog was (DOA) dead on arrival. He was a small boy, Staffordshire terrier 3-6 months old. His left eye was hanging out and his face had been torn to shreds with flaps of skin hanging off. This beautiful dog that I will remember always was that traumatized that it had messed in the police car to, maybe through thinking it was going to be ripped apart or attacked more. That dog was a domestic dog, someones pet. It had the tag on its neck although barely visible as of the amount of blood and flesh that was embedded in it.
He died of shock, blood loss, internal and external bleeding as well as organ failure and stress. Why ? for money and what they the smack heads call being a man.
[quote] Early dogs of the bull terrier type were bred for the working characteristic known as gameness, with the pitting of dogs against bear or bull testing this attribute along with the strength and skill of the dog. These early “proto-staffords” provided the ancestral foundation stock for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the Bull Terrier, the American Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier. This common ancestor was known as the “Bull and Terrier”. [un-quote]
Although dog fighting has been banned in many countries such as England, America, most parts of Europe, Mexico, and Africa sadly the crime still goes on. It is evident that it goes on just by the amount of fighting and bait dogs that are rushed in to the rescues all over the world. Dog fighting clandestinely took place in pockets of working-class Britain and America. Dogs were released into a pit, and the last dog still fighting (or occasionally, the last dog surviving) was recognized as the winner. The Pit is part of the name pit bull from which it got its name and its bad reputation even now to date. However these dogs are only violent or aggressive if they have been brought up in that way or taught to fight.
Dog fighting was band in the United Kingdom in the 1800’s Dog fighting is also band in America, South America, North America, Australia and India It is also illegal to possess dog fighting materials such as videos, or to attend an event. Russia allows dog fighting to an extent but it is only band in Moscow, dog fighting is not band at a nationwide level in Japan but the prefectures of Tokyo, Kanagawa, Fukui, Ishikawa, Toyama and Hokkaido all ban the practice. Mexico also sees a ban but the laws are always flouted by gangs such as Grilonatus who we have ourselves had much dealings with and will shut these b***** down again if we come up against them. Armed and highly dangerous they live their lives dealing in narcotics and weapons. The FBI find them hard to trace on the internet but they are traceable if you look hard enough. They mainly use proxy servers and are a kick of, of the main war lords that operate in Mexico of the drug cartels that think they are the deliverers of evil and intimidation.
Currently most fighting dogs in Japan, America, Mexico and Asia are of the Tosa breed which is native to Kōchi. Dog fighting does have strong links to gambling and organised crime. Dog fighting in South Africa is illegal to a degree, there is a mass effected area and that is Stellenbosch from which [hundreds] of dogs are used every night to fight. The owners use their children to transport the dogs AND even become embroiled in the fights themselves so the owners are not arrested. The owners lose their dogs if they are caught to be fighting and if not picked up within a set time frame are then euthanized by the veterinary services. 9/10 the innocent animals are destroyed meaning the criminals get away.
Russia is seeing like some countries a massive increase in dog fighting, in Tula just West of Moscow where all dog fighting is legal see’s this as an everyday sport and occurrence. Any dog is used, not just the “so-called fighting breeds”. The map below shows where the mass increase is, and it only increased after Michael Vick’s corrupt life style was found out. The link below takes you to a video, please read and view the video to see how bad this is in the Russian state and why it has to be banned now in Tula province West of Moscow. China and Russia deal big in this business of dog fighting tournaments.
The news article published by New York Times back in 2007 February shows the graphic footage and written knowledge of this sickening culture. Why is this banned in Moscow though ? well if you was the president you would not want your visiting diplomats to see this would you? of course not. It makes money and military/police officials are in on this too. Mexico and Asia see’s the worst of all dog fighting rings that offers big money and big weapons to take out rival gangs or more narcotics to sell. There is some confusion on this being banned in Serbia, Bosnia, and Turkey from which it is evident after much investigation from our teams that there are operating tournaments. Please view the link from Russia with hate here http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/09/world/europe/09dogfight.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1
Evidence also proves that these individuals are not old with age, the owners are becoming far younger and had it not have been for the star-studded once celebrity that all are supposed to set an example to the public mainly the younger kinds than Mr Vick would not now be paying for this crime. Although he has paid and learnt his lesson it sadly has rubbed of on to others [younger generation]. Please see below. [ We hope your watching Mr Vick ]
This is a serious organised crime and does span the globe, there are many internet sites out there that specialise in just this that are legal to a degree. Another report was seen again on the internet of dog fighting rings that are moving around the north of the United Kingdom stealing Huskies and other small dogs. These are used for baiting.
Baiting what is it ? “Baiting or dog baiting most commonly refers to the act of setting game dogs against a chained or confined animal for sport. The dogs bite, and tear to subdue the opposing animal by incapacitating or killing it. Baiting is a blood sport used for entertainment and gambling. It is illegal in most countries with varying levels of enforcement”.
While baiting is generally illegal in the United States of America, an exception has been made in Louisiana for Uncle Earl’s Hog Dog Trials, The hog dog trials are held in the first week of March and has only been canceled once back in 2010-2011 after a minor disagreement. The only reason why this is still legal is the Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals wanted it made legal too.
Dog ringers as we better know them by operate all over the world by gathering intelligence on dog owners to watching internet sites and reading articles in the paper and watching local dog shows. They pose as the loving animal person, without a hint of their criminal life showing to unsuspecting sellers. The dog fighters will look for almost any dog that is non aggressive or slightly aggressive, huskies, chow-chow, border collie, Staffordshire, to even cats and kittens. Dog fighters even go to the extreme to attacking innocent members of the public in the streets then stealing the dog, to taking any dog that is tied up outside a shop to luring the dog with food that has been tainted with a high-powered sedative before then stealing the animal[s] from the loving owner.
The bait dogs are then tied up, jaws taped up including their legs or just left on a chain to try to defend themselves from the other attacking dogs that have been “induced” by the owners to attack and kill. The innocent dog is then mostly dumped anywhere. motor ways, vets, rescues or other.
http://geo.craigslist.org/iso/us This is the United State version of Craig’s list that can be found in most countries. The video below shows in graphic but true detail on how bad the situation is and how big dog fighting is becoming. We show only the truth on our pages and only show to educate the public. If you choose to ignore this post then sell your beloved pet or just give it away to the first come first serve buyer just because you want to go away on holiday, need some quick cash, or can not handle the dog anymore then your just as bad as the abuser that has just purchased your animal[s].
Dogs that are to be used to fight are given medications to improve their stamina, speed, and strength. They are also pushed through endurance testing drugged with gun powder to other toxic chemicals. sometimes these dogs are too scared to fight and will just back down immediately or be ravished by the opponent dog in the box. Below is a brief look in to what other methods the owners use to “beef” the dog up.
Treadmills – to increase the dog’s stamina, cardiovascular fitness and endurance.
• A Jenny or Catmill – This is a piece of apparatus that consists of beams reaching out from a central rotating pole. The fighting dog is chained to one beam and the cat or bait is tied to another. The dog races round in circles trying to catch the bait. When the exercise is finished the dog is given the bait to kill and eat.
• Jump pole – This is a large pole with a spring hanging down. At the end of the spring is some rope or animal hide. The dog jumps up and hangs onto the rope sometimes for hours. This strengthens the jaws and the leg muscles.
• Heavy weights and chains – These are attached to the dog’s neck and dangle on the ground. This builds up neck and upper body muscles. When the dog is not fighting it is usually left with these heavy chains attached.
• Food supplements and drugs – Fighting dogs are fed supplements such as liver/iron extract, Vitamin B12, Hormones/Testosterone, Repotest and Probolic Oil. They are also fed drugs such as Heroin, Amphetamines and Cocaine.
This was quoted by the senior director of the A.S.P.C.A ..
“Dog fighters represent a range of personality types and psychological disorders. Like anyone they are moulded by their environment and begin to develop a system of values early. School life offers them little fulfilment and humiliates them into doing socially unacceptable things in an environment where beating the system is the goal”.
This is dog fighting footage taken 2007, from when Michael Vick the “not so respected celebrity” was caught then convicted along with being sent to prison for the most graphic in humane treatment of dogs the Humane Society has seen. We expect all famous figures to act in a responsible manner and to never go down these roads. We do not belive that Mr Vick has shown enough remorse for what he has done considering the charges that was laid against him. Were also disgusted that Nike have since given him a contract to promote their merchandise considering this mans gruesome past back ground.
We will leave this post as it is for now until we publish those that we acquire information on that have so far had most of their material removed from YouTube, Weebly, and Facebook that all contained the most sickening of dog fighting we have uncovered so far.
Thank you for reading
We urge all dog and other small animal owners, never place your animal on any buy and sell site, do not sell to some back street buyer, and never allow your children to take your dog[s] or puppies out alone. Please never leave your dog tied up outside a street shop and always watch your dog[s] in the garden at night as of dog snatchers using toxic chemicals. We urge you to not deliberately breed over again and to give your pet the best you can.
Please watch the 1 hour-long documentary on this sick culture and learn from it. Thank you and stay safe.
