We have all shed tears at the horrific stories we hear about animal cruelty or animal abuse. Dog fighting by far gets to me the worst and for every tear I have shed I am going to make it count for something. I would like to petition law makers and congress to form stricter laws on those who speculate a dog fight.

NEW PETITION: wh.gov/DGM

Speculating is watching and attending a dog fight. Currently 25 states have speculating a dog fight only as a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor means maybe a slap on the wrist and a fine and if they do get arrested it is usually only punishable up to a year in jail. Basically speculators are the ones who fund the dog fighting business with paying admission fees and gambling they are what makes the fight take place.

If we DEMAND heavier laws on those who participate in a felony we can eliminate dog fighting!

These speculators are witnessing a felony, witnessing animal cruelty and abuse, and most of all murder to a living creature. A loving creature who is capable of fear, love, sadness, and happiness. Regardless of how you may feel about pitbulls (most commonly used in dog fights) these animals are forced to kill or they will be killed. It is such a sick tragic event that people are profiting off of non taxable money... hundred of thousands per year.

It gets worse... animals usually off of craigslist (for free) are a target for training for these dogs to get used to killing and often people will steal pets for bait to their fighters. These speculators are encouraging and funding all of this. If there was no audience the risk wouldn't be worth it to the owner.... Join me in speaking out for all of the helpless animals who are victim to dog fighting because of these speculators!!! I cannot do this alone I need your voice.....they need your voice....

Some other facts are that once a fighting ring is discovered the animals are typically deemed as unadoptable in fear that they will be aggressive. After a fight if a dog lost or was unhealable it is killed in the worst way possible. It is usually doused with water and electrocuted and thrown away in the garbage or they are hung or beaten with objects. This also occurs if the dog refuses to fight or refuses to kill the bait animals.

This petition will be delivered to the current congress and legislators in these states Alabama, Arkansas, California,Georgia, Indiana,Idaho, Iowa,Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wyoming, Wisconsin and West Virgina. Please help me make this happen.
