Dog fighting in the US: bloody, illegal and booming
WASHINGTON : The indictment of a US football star this week for allegedly organising illegal dog fights has put the spotlight on the bloody, booming pastime that is attracting an increasingly wide following.
The blood sport that often uses pit bulls trained to fight is illegal in all 50 states, but can be found across the country.
"The phenomenon is increasing. It was very prevalent in the South now it's all over, in Chicago, New York, Baltimore, New York, big in Indiana, big in Wisconsin," said Michael Roach, director of field service and investigation for the Anti-Cruelty Society of Chicago.
"There are three levels of dog fighting: the street fighting level where other crimes are involved such as drugs, weapons, the hobby level and the professional level," Roach told AFP.
Bets can reach US$20,000 to US$30,000 for bouts organised on the street and up to half a million dollars for more elaborate dog fights overseen by illegal breeders. There are some 20,000 to 40,000 dog fight fans in the United States, who operate underground and use the Internet to help organise events.
On Tuesday, Atlanta Falcons star quarterback Michael Vick - the second-highest paid player in the National Football League - was charged by a federal grand jury with having trained and provided animals for dog fights since 2001.
As part of the dog fights allegedly staged by Vick and his associates, losing dogs were sometimes drowned, hung, shot or electrocuted, according to the US Justice Department indictment.
Some 66 dogs, including 55 pitbulls, were founds on Vicks' property in southern Virginia, with many of the animals chained to cars close enough to agitate each other but too far away to bite - a common tactic to prepare the dogs for combat, experts say.
If convicted, the football star faces a possible six year prison sentence and US$350,00 in fines.
"It does go with the gang culture, in every urban area," said Laurie Maxwell of the Humane Society.
In recent years, animal shelters have been "inundated" with injured or scarred pitbulls, she said. The wounded animals account for 30 percent of dogs at animal shelters nationwide and 75 percent in US cities, according to Maxwell. Rescued fighting dogs have to be euthanised as they are too aggressive to be pets.
In city neighbourhoods dominated by gangs and drug crime, people use pitbulls to intimidate residents and gangs steal dogs - even sometimes cats - for fights.
Fights take place "in abandoned buildings, basement, garages, warehouses, even in apartments where they used the doors to block a doorway and build a pit," Roach said.
"They use treadmills to train a dog to run and to develop their stamina they hang a rabbit or cat in a bag above the dog."
A study by Chicago's Anti-Cruelty Society said 40 percent of primary school children in the Chicago area have seen animal fights or know about them.
A dog fight can last anywhere from 15 minutes to five or six hours, until one of the dogs locks his jaws around the neck of the other and refuses to let go.
Then, "they use a break stick in their mouth to pull them away and release them again against each other," Roach said.
The dogs who lose are "often killed, set on fire with gasoline, electrocuted, shot, pit on a railroad track.
"They are sending a message to others, saying, 'This is what happens to losers.'" - AFP/de

I wonder if this sport will take off in singapore boh... interesting piece of news i must say.. its machiam like those illegal kick boxing matches in thailand.. where the loser gets bump off or handicapped if they lose too much or din play according to the gambling syndicate rules.
wonders when the IR comes, will all these kinds of social issues happen.
of coz all they're sayin is that the IR's casinos are not the only component of the IR , there are other stuff to look forward too. Face it la, everyone is looking a the prospect fo not travelling to genting and batam for the gambling.. juz take a taxi to marina south or sentosa can liaos.
Of coz now even in amk you can see jackpot machines lor... just beside cathay cinema.. imagine these.. buy ur children 2 kiddy shows and u buy urself 2hrs of play time.. how convenient.. how evil of NTUC to tink of such schemes..
To me its just a bad taste of how unscrupulous our union really is.. but then again who m i to fault them when our own government is like dat..
remember our 1st July 2007.
~ The day Smoking was banned almost everywhere for the highest tax payers.
~ The day GST was raised by 2% to 7% and it seems that most retailers took it a 7% increase instead of a mere 2%.
~ The day NETs raised its service fees by 0.3% coz it provides alot of premiums for NETs users
My World is a screwball.. The world i m living in isnt much better

Lost in the labyrinth of this World
Amazed at the intricacies of this web
Surprised at the loneliness of this race
What I truly hunger for;
I try grappling for words
between pages of open minds
Trying to read between the words
and yet I find nought
The Truth is this:
A hermit who’s struggling amidst this weary and dreary world
Sick and tired of the pleasantries everyone is throwing around
One day I shall learn to dance in a straight line,
Run in a different direction from the rat pack
And yet hold my head tall amidst the unbelievers.
Please forgive me as my random thots dun connect and never really depict the turmoil in my heart.
I hope I can get enuff rest to survive this weekend. Some thoughts never end and I have no idea where this is going but I must end it. my only excuse: reading my backlog of books that have been piling up in the corner of my bed.
what I am reading at any given moment tend to influence how my thoughts connect or do not connect.

In Love with You by Janice
Listen to this song.
Soak up the atmosphere.
Use a pair of headphones if needed.
In love again
when you smile my life becomes a ray of light
sing me a lullaby to sleep in midnight i'll be
hypnotized when looked into your eyes turn
off the room light let's spend the night
chorus:
take me to far away,away to your secret place
take my tears my fears;take all my pain full which
i'll repay someday with a kiss and say
can't believe that i'm in love again,in love again...ohh..ohhh
when the stars don't shine,and when the birds don't
fly,and when the vflowers cry,and when the rainbows dry,
when the violet's red and when the rose turn blue
baby i'll stillbeing in love with you....
(repeat chorus2x)
It made me weep.
