Encountering bait dogs post-rescue or adoption is a common occurrence for us. I find sharing their stories to be quite enjoyable. Nevertheless, I find this video to be significant as it showcases the process of identifying these dogs.
If you share this video, you can raise awareness about the terrible conditions that dogs are subjected to before being rescued. This will help emphasize the importance of advocating for stricter penalties against dog fighting all over the world.
Join Tom McPhee, the Executive Director of WA2S and Producer Director of American Strays, as he accompanies officers from the Michigan Humane Society on their mission to uncover dogs that are being used as bait for fighting dogs. Witness the shocking conditions these helpless canines have to endure through the lens of their cameras.
Bait dogs often endure various forms of abuse such as broken bones, untreated wounds, tied mouths, maggots, and malnourishment. According to Jenny Jackson, one of the Michigan Humane Society Officers, they respond to dog fights throughout the year. Jenny explains that the combatants are usually young people who take pit bulls and tie them up in abandoned yards or fight them in parks with whichever dogs they can find. Unfortunately, these dogs rarely receive proper medical attention, food, water, or shelter and are often left to suffer without any care.
Luckily, two pit bulls received assistance from the Michigan Humane Society and WA2S. However, the unfortunate reality is that there are countless other dogs in need of rescue. Reading about this heartwarming rescue operation could raise awareness about the cruel practice of dogfighting. It may also encourage people to support animal rescue organizations, donate resources, or consider adopting a rescued bait dog. The incredible efforts of Bait Dog Rescue serve as a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of compassion. Despite facing unimaginable cruelty, there are individuals and organizations dedicating their time and energy to making a positive difference and giving voice to those who cannot speak up for themselves.
