waving me down to hold him and get em ready for a fight. I knew Chicho didnt have energy from holding him. When it was time to release he just flopped he didnt have his legs but somehow he had the energy to go. After 3 min I stoped it cause I couldnt see no more and disgusted with my family. I walked home with chicho in my arms and when I got home he was already dead. I cried and cried case he was my only pet. This was back in Carolina, PR.

I used to play with him and 2rs later I wanted to see what he had and took em him to a fight and he w3 fights but my father wanted to use him the next week but he was hurt and I begged him dont take him and that next day my older brother wanted to supprise me at a fight and I saw my Grandfather

Man has been …
Man has been fighting/racing animals since he started domesticating them. But now all over the world soo many people now just see these animals and think they should be, more or less, useless pets and that is simply not what the /dog was bred for.
On the flip side you have to look really hard to find owners of these animals who acctually care for the animal/animals that might die for them, most are just like Michael Vick if not worse.
This man obviously cares.

buenas suertes senor.

The mutilation of …
The mutilation of the comb and the spurs are one aspect of the sport that I don’t support. Other than that, fighting is a great sport.
