Dog fighting is a crime

Jun 02, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
I was appalled and disgusted to read the article in the Kaieteur News on May 27, regarding the dog fighting incident. Had it not been for one of the perpetrators being killed, this horrible crime would not have been brought to light. Dog fighting is a crime and should be treated as such by the proper authorities and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It is a tragedy that these innocent animals have to endure such pain, suffering and even death because people engage in this blood sport for financial gains or to satisfy their sadistic urges. Hurting animals for human pleasure or gain is despicable.
These defenseless animals have no choice and cannot protect themselves from these monsters, mainly living isolated on chains or locked in cages.
How can anyone with a shred of decency watch a couple of innocent dogs fight for their lives and not feel an ounce of remorse. Dog fighting is morally wrong, cruel, inhumane and unacceptable. Aren’t dogs supposed to be man’s best friend? Is there no empathy or compassion left in mankind towards animals? For God’s sake stop torturing the dogs. One is left wondering, who are the real animals…… the creatures inside the ring, or the creatures outside the ring.
