One of the largest dog fighting rings
was taken over by authorities the other day, where they rescued 371 dogs. Most
of the puppies that were found weighed less than five pounds, and were left in
the scorching sun while wearing heavy chains around their necks. Authorities
found these dogs in the rings in Alabama, Texas, Georgia and Mississippi. The
dogs were immediately placed into temporary care at the ASPCA and the Humane
Society of the United States. Not only are the dogs being given important
medical treatment, but they are getting a behavior modification that will make
their chances of being a household pet greater. According to authorities, the
goal is to turn these aggressive dogs into loving pets that will be given the
care and treatment needed. Many of the dogs that were brought into ASPCA had major
scars and injuries, such as deep cuts and large tumors. However, since arriving
to the shelter, most of the dogs have been improving with the medicine helping
ease the pain and remove the fleas.
I chose this article because I am
interested in animals and helping them get a better environment. It’s crazy how
far people will go to make extra money. It is an informative and powerful article
that shows the dangers that humans can put animals through.
