For Pits' Sake, Inc. has recruited the world-renowned American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) to help raise awareness about the inhumane and illegal activity of dog fighting.

Dog fighting is a cruel and barbaric activity in which two dogs are are forced to fight each other to the death for the sole purpose of human entertainment. Dog fighting is animal abuse, plain and simple. Dogs used for fighting are raised under horrific conditions and abusively trained to be aggressive. Dogs who do survive a fight usually sustain serious and painful injuries. Many will suffer and die from blood loss, shock, dehydration, exhaustion, or infection hours or days after a fight. If they lose, and don't die in the ring, they are perceived to be an embarrassment to the reputation or the status of their owners, so many times they will be tortured and executed in brutal fashion as part of the “entertainment.”

Dog fighting is illegal in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and as such we support the prosecution of those who misuse these animals in dog matches.

Abuse, whether to another person or animal is not being tough, nor is it cool.  Violence to the young, the elderly or to an animal should not be tolerated.  Real men, real fighters stand up for what is right to protect those less able to do so.

Torturing and forcing animals to fight is not a sign of strength. Help us stop the abuse. If you think dog fighting is taking place in your area, contact your local law enforcement office to investigate.
