Please be warned the pictures are graphic -- dog victim of dogfighting. Be aware that these people often steal pets and also come get "free dogs" to use as practice for their dogs.
I saw this link on another fish website, and thought more needed to see this. |

Wow! I don't know what to say. Mankind's lack of humanity never fails to amaze me. | |

Agreed. I get so upset...It's one of the reasons I am so obsessive about my dogs. In rural areas such as mine, it's easy to hide.  | |

That is so disgusting. I have owned several of these dogs (all at different times) and they are great pets, very protective. They only get mean when they are treated like this.
We had one in particular that loved to play with my son (now 32, then 5) and one day we found him dragging my son by the pant leg when he had had enough of him.  | |

Ugh, I knew I shouldn't have looked at that - it just chokes me up.
I know it's real life, but that's why I can't even watch Animal Planet or I'm a sobbing idiot.
The people who rescue and nurse these animals back to health are true heros. | |

That's funny Myra -- would have made a great 'funniest home videos' segment.
Sorry Jan I'm the same way. I just think more information needs to be out about these horrible people (they aren't really people, they're monsters) so that somehow this can stop. | |

OH MY GOD!!!... How awful, poor baby... In these cases I'm all for an eye for an eye, no turning the other check here.
How can these individuals sleep at night, I guess that is called having no conscious.
I'm so glad that she is getting better. I'm sure she will get a good loving home, because she sure deserve it. | |

I am humbled by the selflessness of those who worked so hard to give Gypsy back her life. I was pleased to see her pics with her new protector. The will to live can be amazing. "All that goes around, comes around". I am happy I don't understand why some people get such a charge out of violence.

PG,
Do you know this institution?
I made a donation via their website through PayPal. I have not received the confirming receipt from PayPal in over a day. This makes me concerned that it may be a scam to get your PayPal password. I've changed my password just in case.
I know I'm being paranoid but you can't be too careful now-a-days. | |
