When I was in college, I had to take a public speaking class. We had to give 5 speeches throughout the semester. All of my speeches were on dog fighting. I’ll never forget my persuasive speech. I was attempting to persuade my audience how brutal and cruel dog fighting is.
It worked. I had almost my entire class of 30 in tears.
Dog fighting is one of the most horrendous forms of animal cruelty. April 8th is National Dog Fighting Awareness Day. You can help spread awareness and take out dog fighting rings by joining the cause.
Here’s how you can help:
Go to this link and sign the pledge to stop dog fighting! You will get an online toolkit to share with everyone on social media. Let people know how brutal dog fighting is, and that you stand against it! You can help save lives!

If you suspect a dog fighting ring in your area, contact local authorities and local Humane Society immediately!!!!

I love this post! I like when dog owners are just dog owners, rather than identifying as their breed. A lot of people believe this to be a “pit bull” problem, but it is a dog problem! No dog should endure such cruelty.

I’d like to think it’s a human problem – we’re the ones putting animals through such torture and teaching them to be aggressive! It’s such a shame! This is why I love dogs more than humans.
