Armitage's Care of Dogs Afterwards

The poor, injured dogs that make it through the fight then have to go back into the hands of their owners that forced them into the pit. It is at this time, especially with the winning dog, that the owner acts as if he really cares about the life and well being of the dog. In reality all he cares about is the dog recovering quickly so he can be fought again and hopefully win more money for the disgusting owner.

Armitage is a perfect example of this, he gives tips in his book about “Care Of The Dog After Battle,” it is quite interesting to hear people like this use the word “care” when speaking about the dogs that they brutally torture. It is quite interesting to see what he thinks will help these dogs after being torn apart.

If your dog is cut up or has gone through a hard battle, wrap him up well in a blanket so that he will not catch cold, then take him to a warm room, making sure that the room is free of drafts. Give him a warm bath, putting a little creolin disinfectant in the water and bathe the dog good. Then rub him thoroughly dry. If he is cut up, drop a little iodine in each cut, offer him a drink of water, but do not feed him until the following day. Before feeding him anything, give him two table-spoonsful of Pluto water in a half glass of water, and repeat this for 2 or 3 days. This will help pass off all blood and hair and stuff he swallowed while in the battle. Feed him a good grade of raw milk at one meal and beef broth at the next, a little at a time, about 5 hours apart for at least 3 days. If at this time he is still alive, you can almost gamble he will pull through safely, but be sure and give him all the fresh water he wants, this will help to prevent fever developing.

The most shocking part about this is how casual he talks about it, especially about how after a few days of taking good care of the dog; IF he is still alive he will be fine. Why do these people have absolutely no consideration as to whether or not these dogs live or die? It is absolutely disgusting. Everyone should always make sure that their dog is comfortable and they should ALWAYS have all the fresh water they need and want. These people are absolutely unbelievable and disgusting!!!
