I’m basically a non-violent person but if some of these creeps stole my dog and used him as a bait dog, I would come looking for them with a very large caliber gun in my hand. And I would use it.

I’m glad to see that Lola fell into the hands of some nice people.

[TheOldLady]

The Adversary has prepared a special place where the Hell Hounds bedevil these cruel and evil people forever.

I simply do not know how any thinking human being can look into those eyes and cause even the slightest pain to such a lovey girl.

We do have laws against animal cruelty; it would be nice if they were enforced.

[trisham]

Poor pup. How can people be so cruel?

[SuziQ]

Bless her little heart. Same thing happened to my brother's pit bull, Buster Brown. Some fool stole him from the yard, and the dog was gone for almost a year. He made his way back home, beaten and starved, but they were thrilled to see him, and nursed him back to health. Six months later, someone else took Buster Brown, and they never saw him again.

He was just the sweetest animal, and I could just throttle anyone who does that to a dog.

[Sensei Ern]

My first rescue pitbull, Porkchop, was also a bait dog. She was the best dog I ever had.

Lola looks so sweet. No dog deserves to be bait for fighting dogs. Even though it is illegal, some dirt bags persist in this “sport”. Same with cock fighting. Nasty humans have sullied the name of a wonderful breed of dog by turning them into fighters.

[Grizzled Bear]

Investigators found the 3-year-old dog, dumped and left to die after she was used as bait to train other dogs to kill during illegal dog fights.

Pertinent to your interests...

[tob2]

Not just blacks, but just about every race which comprises all of humanity.

I have thought some more about your question about what culture says that it is normal or acceptable. I have seen pictures of some of the dogs mutilated by this fighting it should not be acceptable to do that to another living creature for amusement anywhere in this world. I have discovered three basic sorts of people in my life, those who make the world worse, those who make it better and those who do nothing. Perhaps we should all try harder to make the world better in this case.

Dog fighting was pretty ubiquitous in European culture..and everywhere actually...like cock fighting (which I admit a fondnessfor)...and bull and bear baiting etc

Not sure if Injuns did or not...maybe they were too busy skinning each other or roasting over coals alive one another

to worry about being cruel to mere dogs...especially since they considered them a food source when need be

sadistic folks likely prefer human torture

it stands to reason

i think I recall though Jack London inferring that Indians participated in dog fighting

I don’t like dog fighting though back before leash laws I saw some doozies and we as kids would cheer them on

like men, it was male dogs fighting over your gender
