Petition: Help Shut Down Dog Fighting Rings in Connecticut

Whimpering and crying, two dogs were found abandoned in the Connecticut woods recently – and whoever dumped them there did so after they sustained truly grotesque injuries.

By the time authorities discovered the pair, the dogs had been disfigured. The wounds they sustained suggest that someone had likely forced the pups to participate in dog fighting, where two animals are pitted against each other and encouraged to tear each other to shreds for human amusement.

Both dogs’ ears were gone – “mauled off” – and they were covered in cuts and gashes. Their conditions were so severe that veterinarians unfortunately had to euthanize one of the animals to alleviate its suffering.

Please sign this petition to urge authorities to find whoever did this to these dogs and shut down dog fighting rings in the state!
