You Can Help End Dog Fighting #NDFAD

April 8, 2014 by L. E. Mastilock

You Can Help End Dog Fighting #NDFAD

The ASPCA has declared April 8th National Dog Fighting Awareness Day. 

Dog fighting still goes on? 


Unfortunately, yes. I don’t know how people can be so cruel, but there are things you can do to help end the abuse. The ASPCA put together a list of Ten Ways to Help End Dog Fighting.

They also have a special post up today about dog fighting with an awareness video, information about the Google Hangout with ASPCA experts tonight, and more.

How would I know if someone was involved in dog fighting?

Lola the Pitty shares some great information on her post: What to Look for and How to Report it.

She’s also hosting a hop, so take some time to browse these other wonderful blogs below for information and share a few to further spread the word on this important issue.

In honor of today, we are also advocating for Pit bulls. 

According to the ASPCA, “a well-bred, well-socialized and well-trained pit bull is one of the most delightful, intelligent and gentle dogs imaginable”. These dogs have been given a bad image, but are no more aggressive than any other dog that hasn’t been properly cared for, trained, and socialized. You can help end the stigma by adopting a pit bull, spreading awareness, teaching your children not to fear them, and discouraging stereotypes.

You can read more on The Truth About Pit Bulls on the ASPCA site.

      Yes, as another commenter said, it used to be Rots, then Dobermans.. any dog can be great if they're treated right.

    Great post with great links – I learned a lot! I can't believe that there are people out there who participate in dog fighting and treat their animals so terribly. It's awful. Thank you for sharing this information.

      Hard to believe. I can't even imagine putting my babies at risk or enjoying the violence. Disgusting

      I read they will sometimes use kitties as bait to get the dogs going, too. Horrific.

    I am so glad that you joined in the hop! I don't understand the mind of evil humans, but the Pit Bulls that I have known have been loving family pets.

    It's about time we started blaming the humans instead of the dogs.

    Sheba.

      Someone else on this hop posted a new slogan, "Ban Stupid People, Not Dogs". Catchy, huh?

    Thanks so much for joining in our special hop this week. We really appreciate it, and this breed definitely needs all the help they can get from humans trying to do something about this.

      I'm glad there are ways we can all help fight for the Pittys and all the dogs forced to fight for their lives

      Glad the issue is getting out there!

    In the past it's been the rottie or the doberman or the German shepherd. Now it's the pit bull; all discriminated against because of their breed. Thank you for spreading the word about this!

      Yes, so sad that just because they are strong dogs, they have a bad rap. Treated well, they can all be loving family members

Rascal went out and it started snowing a little bit. He wasn't sure what was happening, but sure wanted back in quickly.
