If you are a TRUE animal lover then that should be enough said for you to want to make a difference. Animal exploitation for human "entertainment " is wrong ! ALSO I have made another petition that is meant for ALL pages and groups that are pro dog fighting and anti "pitbull". Please Click on the Link to be guided to that petition.

    Here is the response I posted in regards to the email sent by Facebook.

    Hi there ,
        I have viewed your Facebook Community Standards and this is what it says...
    "People use Facebook to share events through photos and videos. We understand that graphic imagery is a regular component of current events, but must balance the needs of a diverse community. Sharing any graphic content for sadistic pleasure is prohibited."
      Now do you really feel as Dog Fighting is not a sadistic act as it...

      Now do you really feel as Dog Fighting is not a sadistic act as it encourages the pain and suffering of others ? Also seeing dogs being
    injured does not count as graphic content ? These groups are continuously posting these things time and time again.and it seems as though as the Admins of Facebook are doing nothing. Yes I understand that in these countries, it is perfectly legal BUT at the same time we live in an advanced world where it is not needed.....
    I have also enclosed TWO petitions that have well over 35 thousand  signatures for the removal of this group and others similiar to it..

Well said Leslie, we are not talking about opinions here it is about right and wrong!!! When did torturing animals for money become a matter of opinion??

Katherine Lee

MR. SO-CALLED FREEDOM: This trade puts them in danger to be abused and die, for the sake of entertainment and money. Honestly, I don't care whether abuse, murder or rape is part of a 'culture'; if it's creating violence for the sake of violence then it needs to go. You know what other acts were considered 'sacred traditions'? Witch burning, protestant burning, selling people as property... Need I go on? Do you think you'd be so permissive of a cultural activity if you were required to fight a man to the death? No. You'd cry, and shriek and shit yourself, because no sentient being believes freedom is tantamount to such treatment.

Oh, look... I can copy and paste my rhetoric, too! Only difference is that I'm not pontificating and contradicting myself at no end. Also, the punctuation: I can use it.

And to some of you who think this is 'fascism', um it would be fascism if we demanded it removed because we didn't agree with the opinions; it was taken down 'cause it was being used as a place to sell dogs to a violent, horrible trade... That's illegal in most places for a reason - it's BARBARIC.
Dogs will not harm another unless they feel threatened - therein lies the inferiority of man.

Signed, reported group and shared and so happy it's been taken down! I also think they should look into the facebook users who posted dogs for 'sale' to dogfighting and investigate...

I don't mean to detract from this grave issue but this is a similar issue I'd like to bring to your attention; I hope you support it. Thank you <3 http://www.causes.com/actions/1736270-petition-stop-the-torture-slaughter-of-animals-for-fashion

AHH Hooray they got enought signatures...they have taken them down! Jerks

This is horrendous to subject an animal to this abuse just some lowlife piece of scum can make money. Let's turn the tables and put them in the ring with vicious. Shame on you facebook for printing this trash. Take it off now.

I realize

Ellen Woke Joodi

I messed up but wanted to say that any animal abuse is a crime. I realize some cultures and areas of the world think dog fighting is a sport but this type of sport is inexcusable. I wish it did not exist and anyone who participates should be punished as though they were abusing a person.

Rot in Hell!

Maybe the FBI should be notified!

Jackie Vargus

They are not in this country. I think they are in the Middle East somewhere, so the FBI cannot do anything, unfortunately =(

Turn the dogs on them and let them see how it feels There are some really sick people out there. They will pay for their stupidity and ignorance one day..

I think it is brazen of people who run dog fighting rings to advertise it. I would think they would be reported and arrested. I hope they are!

Yes Paula Wood agree with you arrest them put them in jail they deserve to be killed too.
