Ban Dog Fighting on Social Media
Dog fighting is illegal in Australia. It is also illegal to possess any fighting equipment designed for dog fighting.

Dog fighting is illegal in New Zealand. The Animal Welfare Act of 1999 forbids.

Dogfighting in the U.S. is a felony offense in all 50 states, and it is a felony offense under federal law as well.

Dog Fighting has been illegal in Canada since 1892.

Dog Fighting is illegal in the UK South Africa, india Pakistan and several more.


So my question is: WHY is social media allowing encouragement towards this corrupt "sport"?

I have reported photos, videos, and even like pages on Facebook getting responses such as "This photo wasn't removed, thank you for taking the time to report"

If Dog Fighting is illegal as an act, why is it okay to be shown all over the media in the same country? Why is it that despite my numerous reports, these people are getting away with "bragging" about throwing their dog in a pit?

I am disgusted and I am ashamed.

Enough is enough, I need your support to help get these pages removed.
