Now considered a sport, dog fighting consists of dogs that are forced and bred to fight one another for the entertainment and profit of the spectators.
They are regularly conditioned for fighting through the use of drugs, including anabolic steroids to enhance muscle mass and encourage aggressiveness.
Many dogs used in fighting have their ears cropped and tails docked close to their bodies. Not only do the dogs experience harmful things to their bodies but during the fights, their conditions become worse.
These conditions include:
1. Puncture wounds
2. Lacerations
3. Blood Loss
4. Broken Bones
