We need to stop dog fighting, don't WE!

If you wonder what people can do have a look below!

Badger baiting:  also illegal since 1835, badger baiter set their dogs onto badgers to fight until the badger is killed.  These usually gentle creatures will fight hard and can cause horrific injuries to the dogs.

Terrier work: this campaign tackles 'terrier work', where terrier type dogs are pitched against foxes in underground battles.  'Terrier men', most commonly associated with fox hunting, send their terriers into fox earths to try and force the fox to escape its home so that it can be killed.  Often terriers fight with the fox underground, causing horrific injuries to the fox and the dog.  In some circumstances this can be legal; we are working to remove the game keeper exemption in the Hunting Act to outlaw this cruel activity.

Urban fox hunting/fighting: This is a newer phenomenon: thugs set dogs onto urban foxes for a straight kill or to catch them for an organised fight.  Sometimes they tie them to tress and then set ferocious bull terrier type dogs onto the fox.  Either way the fox suffers massive suffering and stress before dying.  But he won't give up without a fight and the dog will suffer injuries too.

In the inner cities, thugs are catching urban foxes, tying them to trees and then setting ferocious bull terrier type dogs onto the fox, causing massive suffering and stress before the fox is killed. But the fox won’t give up without a fight and the dog will suffer injuries too.
