Demand Facebook to remove ALL dog fighting groups and negative pages AGAINST "pitbulls".

To: Facebook

It is time to open our eyes to the REAL facts about "pitbull" breeds and BSL. .BSL does NOT diminish the amount of dog bites in cities where BSL is in place. It is KILLING innocent pets since 2005 !

It is time to open our eyes to the REAL facts about "pitbull" breeds and BSL. .BSL does NOT diminish the amount of dog bites in cities where BSL is in place. It is KILLING innocent pets since 2005 !

 Also it is morally wrong to force animals into violence for human "entertainment". ANY animal exploitation big or small should be removed from Facebook immediately. Surely if you agree please sign and share this petition and tell Facebook Admins animal cruelty on social media is NOT okay . Finally to top it all off when I reported the page , this is the response email I received :

    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...

      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..

I have also received the same cookie cutter reply from facebook when reporting these pages. However if one looks under their Statement of Rights and Responsibilities in the paragraph concerning Graphic Violence it clearly states that "Sharing any graphic content for sadistic pleasure is prohibited." So please tell me then what posting videos of dogs ripping each other apart is..Is is educational? Is it sport? Is it entertainment enjoyed by the majority of healthy intelligent people? No it's...

No it's cruel and sadistic. It promotes dog fighting and gives low life scum bag loser a way to connect with other like minded low life idiots to connect and perpetuate the cycle of abuse and death of innocent and loving animals. It needs to be removed!

Viki, Tasha Fearless, I posted this on Twitter and the rely was, "Report dog fighting groups to the authorities, so they can take action, do not ask FB to remove, vital evidence." I am passing the word on to who ever started this cause. Let the authorities know.

Jen Wilson We keep speaking out against this wrong violent bullshit we see and we find like minded people who agree that this shit needs to stop and we alll work together to put a stop 2 this. That is what we do. Keep The Faith-there are good people in this country and we are finding each other everyday thru social media and whatever it takes but we need to come together as a acumminty and build a foundation with values, Respect, Build Confidence, Reliabilety, If u Talk about it be about It, Real Talk. Good will overcome evil, I see people taking the small steps each day and doing the right things each day to make things right again. We just have 2 reach out 2 one another and be acccountible and expose those that are doing things that are wrong. And we will continue 2 do these things and we will make a difference. One Day One Step One Word at a Time Live in the Moment. Can u Feel It in The Air? The time is now to change Today.

that is the problem people say I do not want to SEE this BUT if these morons do not post things like this NO ONE KNOWS it is happening what needs to be done is a way to track the people, where the photo was taken and posted to try to locate the criminals and help the animals...also to find out who the sick pieces of crap are who come to see this to enjoy it...go out and get those people rid the world of them all................it can not be hidden..it has to be stopped all together..and that is finding the ones doing it and removing them from society!.

Nancy - could you be more specific about your reporting? T
hanks-

Every animal is a creation of God and DESERVES love, care and RESPECT. Every companion pet should be able to enjoy a long, healthy, happy and SAFE life as a valued member of a wonderful family who gives them the love, care, attention, affection, protection and respect they so richly deserve. God bless ALL animals! xo xo xo xo xo xo.

Little do they know there will be a price to pay when they stand before God. They r gods creations. I would be scared

Hi Jmffg, it's very heartbreaking all the cruelty that goes on in the world. I console myself in the knowledge that God DOES know what's going on and EVERY animal will eventually be with Him - forever. I thank God that there are so many people who are passionate about animals and willing to help them when they're in need. We ALL need to protect the Innocents in this world - both animals and children. God bless! xo xo

Facebook has NO courage if they refuse to stand up against such abuse. If their rules do not forbid such abuses they should consider their subscribers as important as their advertisers. Maybe all advertisers who are against animal abuse shoud remove their ads from facebook.

Its all about money

Isn't dog fighting and animal abuse illegal? Can't these Facebook pages be used to prosecute these idiots, and Facebook, as well for not removing them, or reporting their content?
How anyone could proudly display grotesquly inhumane pictures of this sort amazes me. Keep in mind, most serial killers and physchopaths start off torturing and killing innocent animals. Why would anyone want to identify with that? What does that tell you of these people? They're mentally and psychologically...

Anyone that watches animals tearing each other apart also falls into this category. I'd be frightened of what they might be capable of, as they obviously have no moral core, nor compassion. I believe Michael Vick got off easy. To say he served his time, then be done with it isn't enough. He is obviously morally and psychologically lacking in some way to even come up with the idea. In other words he and his brethren are sickos!
