Dog fighting <br />Just a sadistic contest <br />Two dogs put in a pit <br />Tearing each other to bits <br />Til one will not or cannot continue <br /> <br />Dog fighting <br />Injuries, severe or even fatal <br />With the powerful jaws of a pit bull <br />They inflict <br />Painful bruises <br />Deep wounds <br />And even broken bones <br />And you thought it hurt when <br />You sprained your ankle <br /> <br />Dog fighting <br />Those poor animals <br />How would you like it if <br />Animals made US <br />Attack other humans? <br />Dieing of blood loss <br />Shock <br />Dehydration <br />Exhaustion <br />Or infection <br />Hours or days after the fight <br /> <br />Dog fighting <br />To train these beasts <br />We use smaller attack animals <br />Like Fluffy, your cat <br />Or Bun Buns, your bunny <br />Or maybe even Chocolate, your small dog <br />Possibly even the cute kittens <br />From the 'FOR A GOOD HOME' box <br /> <br />Dog fighting <br />Spectators and dog owners <br />Placing bids of thousands of dollars <br />On their favorite dog <br />When it looses... the money... <br />Gone from their reach <br />Placing bets of drugs <br />And trading drugs too <br />Resulting in the worst place <br />For adults and children <br /> <br />Dog fighting <br />Illegal in all 50 states <br />Then, why? <br />Why put those dogs <br />Through it all? <br />Because we think they're stupid... <br />But what do they think of us? ? ? <br /> <br />P.S. I did research on this subject because it is something I am interested in and I thought that I would inform some people about the bad things that are happening in the USA and around the world. I hope you enjoyed! ! ! <br /> <br />(SPRING! finally 2008, Age11, Door County, Wisconsin)<br /><br />Emma Alberts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dog-fighting-2/
