Dogfighting: Common Occurring Crime Rarely Enforced

     There is no excuse for a commonly occurring crime to be rarely enforced. Such is the case for dogfighting. This will never change until the people and organizations that claim to be against dogfighting find this unacceptable. (Animal cruelty in other forms are also commonly occurring crimes that are minimally enforced.) Anti drunk driving and anti domestic violence organizations would never accept the rare enforcement of drunk driving and domestic violence.
      Dogfighters have a greater chance of getting struck by lightning than ever getting arrested. Why this pathology persists is a story unto itself. If drunk drivers and domestic violence offenders were treated the same as dogfighters, drunk drivers and domestic violence offenders would have nothing to fear. The few times they would get arrested would be newsworthy. The enforcement of commonly occurring crimes should never be so rare that it is newsworthy. Are the people and organizations that claim to help animals capable of the self reflection and change necessary to ensure that this is no longer so? Or will greed and selfishness prevail that renders change impossible? More decades should not pass in which there is the continued proliferation of people and organizations that profess concern about dogfighting while dogfighters themselves remain virtually untouched.
        For those organizations and individuals truly interested in fighting against dog fighting, the roadmap to having thousands upon thousands of dogfighters arrested, with untold numbers of animals removed from the dogfighters and other abusers, is not complicated, and can be achieved. If there is a continued lack of interest or will to do anything more than little to nothing, then dogfighting will remain alive and well. And so will so much misery and suffering that could easily have been stopped.
