Dogfighting is a sadistic "contest" in which two dogs - specifically bred, conditioned, and trained to fight - are placed in a pit (generally a small enclosed area) to fight each other, for the purpose of entertainment and gambling by the "spectators". Fights can average nearly an hour in length and often last more than two hours. Dogfights end when one of the dogs is no longer willing or able to continue. Dog fighting is prevalent EVERYWHERE... from the most urban of neighborhoods to the deep backwoods.
Dog Fighting - Animal Cruelty
The injuries inflicted and sustained by dogs participating in dogfights are frequently severe, including deep puncture wounds and broken bones, and some are even fatal. Dogs used in these "events" often die of blood loss, shock, dehydration, exhaustion, or infection hours or even days after the fight.

Dog fighting is a sick sport but condoning it by allowing videos to be posted on YouTube is disgusting.
I have contacted YouTube to try and remove these awful videos but have had no response. I think videos and images of animals fighting is sickening and they need to reassess their poilicy of what kind of videos can be posted. It is sad enough that the sport of dog fighting happens, let alone having it broadcast across the world. Especially to people who are browsing innocently on YouTube and find themselves looking at sick images of bloodied dogs.
