In the underbelly of a pet-friendly nation, where over 43 million households include dogs, the cruel and barbaric blood sport called dog fighting is alive and well. It is estimated that there are 40,000 professional dog fighters in the United States and as many as 100,000 amateurs involved, including children and gang-affiliated teens.

Dog fighting is a thriving underground industry that is prevalent across the country in both urban and rural areas. And this isn't just a "pit bull" issue. Many violent criminals start out by abusing animals. Then they shift to abusing their spouse or their child. Studies show that individuals who attend dog fights and regularly witness other forms of animal cruelty are five times more prone to commit crimes of violence against people.

Listed below are additional things you can do to Knock Out Dog Fighting:

• If you suspect dog fighting in your neighborhood, contact your local law enforcement office.


• Support legislation that encourages severe punishment of anyone involved in dog fighting.


• Never offer a dog or cat as "free to a good home". Many bait animals used to train fighting dogs are obtained through "free to good home" advertisements.


• Post one of our videos on your website, blog, MySpace or Facebook profile to raise awareness about this issue and what people can do to help.


• Urge your local radio and television station to run one of our Public Service Announcements (PSAs) to raise awareness .


• Where one of our shirts or hand one of our posters to help raise awareness and start dialog about this issue.


• Insist that dogs seized in dog fighting raids/bust are not automatically euthanized. Urge officials to give them a chance to be temperament tested and rehomed.

Remember, fighting dogs are innocent victims that have been forced into a life of violence and suffering.
