Best friend or killer. by Zuzana Valkova

Many of you have a dog. It is a member of your family, good or best friend of you. You spend much time with him/her and care about him/her. But there are also people, who like their dogs only because they earn big money for them. Dog is only a special trained instrument not a friend. I am sure, that you have already heard about dog fighting. It is illegal blood 'sport', practised just for entertainment or gambling. It is a fight between two dogs, in which one of the dogs wins and second one is looser or dead. They fight in a special fenced ring, until one of them is too weak to fight, or looses the will. The fight can be stopped by owner or by doctor, who can judge the condition of the dogs. Often happens, that one of the dog is too injured and his owner has to destroy him. It is a big loss for him because he loses his income. As I said before, this 'sport' is illegal. Police can arrest people who own these dogs, and also people who are on the fights. It is almost impossible bring these saved dogs back to normal society, because they are used to suffer and are more agressive than other dogs. This kind of abusing is one of the most serious. There are many organizations, who fight against this 'sport'. All over the world, there are too many injured animals every year, so it became important part of their activities.
