Dog-Fighting is Alive and Kicking in the UK

Rippling muscles, bared teeth, blood soaked fur and jeering crowds. It may sound like a scene out of a gangster film like Snatch or Amores Perros but I’m afraid to say this kind of set-up isn’t unknown in the UK. Brandishing dogs like weapons, and using them to gain status or win money, dog-fighters aren’t only rich and famous men, like a certain American footballer named Mr Vick.
An undercover ex-soldier has unearthed a dog-fighting ring in the Middlesborough and Birmingham areas, leading to a number of arrests. He recorded dodgy deals, dogs on death-row and risks his life in making these facts known. It sickens me to think this is going on under our noses, whatever happened to the notion of ‘man’s best friend’? Bravo ‘Steve’, whoever you are – more men like you, please!
People who fight dogs and other animals should be banned from living in civilisation and I really mean that. Remove these people to an island and let them fight each other until they die off.
