Human Factor in Dog Fighting
Journal Title: Journal of Veterinary Advances - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim of this paper is to revise by considering human factor in dog fighting events. There are three types of dog fighters including street fighters, hobbyists, and professionals. Hobbyists and professionals often decry the techniques street fighters use to train their dogs. Street fighters fight dogs over insults, turf invasions, or simple taunts like "My dog can kill your dog”. Urban street fighters generally have several dogs chained in back-yards, often behind privacy fences, or in basements or garages. Hobbyists fight dogs for supplemental income and entertainment purposes. Professionals breed generations of skilled "game dogs" and take a great pride in their dogs' lineage. Professionals also tend to own a large number of dogs which are sometimes 50 dogs or more. Dogfighters often face additional charges related to drug, alcohol and weapons violations as well as probation violations.
