   Another successful dogfighting ring bust happened in Polk County Florida on Wednesday October 22, 2014. A man and a woman are facing several charges after been arrested by the Polk county police which they found 61 dogs tied in the property. The police also found several rings suspected to be used for dog fighting including one with recent blood in it and also a treadmill.

   After finding this news we, dog advocates, salute the parties involved in this event risking their safety to save innocent creatures forced to behave in a cruel way commanded by their owners. Weather for profit or sport makes no different on the impact on the dogs needing rehabilitation after this amazing rescue and the people providing care for them and the resources utilized to accommodate this dogs.

   Some of these dogs will be deemed dangerous and eventually destroyed depending on the assessment of their physical and mental condition thus fueling the fear and misconception about Pitbulls to those who are skeptical about these breed. Some will use this information to promote BSL ideals to excuse their prejudgment towards large dogs or (as typically represented) “aggressive” breeds.

   Hope this will shine a positive light on the cruel reality of what these breed face instead of how bad owning one of this dog could be. Let us remember that not all people who own a Pitbull use them for fights and the same goes to not all Pitbulls are aggressive trained to fight. This is just an example of a combination of irresponsible ownership of a powerful breed and poor judgment.
