Animals Rescued

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) assisted Ohio law enforcement with investigating a suspected large scale dog-fighting ring. More than 500 animals were found on the scene, 200 of which were American Pit Bull terriers. The other animals included chickens, roosters, turkeys, boars, and reptiles. The HSUS is working to place the animals. 10 dogs are being taken to Washington Animal Rescue League. Other animals are with rescue organizations or in homes.


This just goes to show how serious dog-fighting rings are and how popular they are. A lot of them go unknown and could be happening in your own backyard. Just how many dogs do you think this involves? How many of those dogs get injured or die during this so called "attraction"? Is this the way an animal should be treated?Answer all of these questions and then tell me if you are still able to sit back while all this goes on. 

The fact that it was in Ohio is another big factor. That's to close for comfort for me. I believe that animals should be treated with love and should not be taught to be aggressive. The Humane Society of the United States is a big help and as a pet owner, and a pet lover, I appreciate everything they do. I want to send out a big thank you to them and I believe that everyone else should to!

  1. That is so true. My dad showed my a video on the internet where this guy was playing with lions in Johannesburg, South Africa, that was so adorable. Lions so tamed and friendly that a human had embraced them so much that they were playing together. It's so sad what they do to these dogs.
