The fight to end the fighting: 19 dogs rescued from the ring

Dog fighting is a cruel activity that has been illegal for over 180 years – yet we still investigate and prosecute dog fighting offences to this day. Most dogs used for fighting will ultimately either be killed in the ring, or die as a result of their injuries or, in some cases, killed by their owners. We are working to change that.
