In the brutal yet illegal world of dog fighting pit bulls are placed in a ring where they are forced to fight each other to the death. Although only in 48 states is this a felony the other 2 states still call this illegal. In recent months, however, high profile dog fight busts has shed light in Illinois, Texas, Virgina, and Ohio. Also the number have rescued pit bulls with scars from fighting has risen. A detective that works with the Humane Society John Goodwin said that in March detectives found a female pit bull who's jaw had been broken off in a fight and was still alive suffering and in pain. The number of pit bulls that have been turning up in animal shelters around the country has risen tenfold.
Reflection:
I believe that all 50 states should make dog fighting a felony because it is not like dog fighting only occurs in those 48 states alone. If someone is able to put a female pit bull in a dog fight and when its jaw gets broken off, not take it to an animal hospital but instead leaves it in a basement should be put in prison for life. Finally i believe that law enforcement should make dog fighting one of there top priorities to stop.
Questions:
What 48 states made dog fighting a felony and which two did not?
What is the exact number of pit bulls that show in a shelter in a year?
Did the detectives find the person who left that female pit bull in the house alone?

I can't believe that dog fights still happen! Especially in the U.S., where we all talk so horribly about it, but people still host the events secretly. It's a real shocker that 2 states, even 2, still allow dog fighting. Someone, probably the president should have those states sign a law that they can't have legal dogfights anymore.
