Dog Fighting
Dog fighting is an illegal crime in the United States, but states have different laws. One state may have up to a couple years of jail, and a nice hefty fine. Than there is some states, where you will only get a couple months.
There is two kinds of dog fighting Street fighting and Pro Dog fighting. They mostly take place in urban cities and are more of the younger crowd. There is a set of nineteen rules and a ref must be present at each fight. There can be tens of thousands of dollars up at stake for each match and if the police break up the fight they must re-schedual the match.
IIf the dogs do not fight to the standard of the owner, very bad things can happen to the dog. They can be electricuted , beated, drowned in water, shot or thrown on the street. They mostly get there dogs from familys. When the dog is playing around outside alone they snatch them from the family, and they will never return them. They do this because, they dont have to go through the struglle of adoption and its free, but they use it for training not fighting.
