Specific Abuses of Training

It is clear through the description of the various forms of training and through the descriptions of game testing that the process that these dogs are forced into in order to make their owners morning is just as cruel and abusive as the act of forcing them to fight. Especially when you consider that the initial portion of their training is in fact forcing them to fight.

The treadmill, sadly enough is probably the most humane method of training these dogs. Though it is still far from ok, I don’t know about you, but I would not be so happy if someone were to force me to run on a treadmill for a long period of time, especially if I was not able to speak out when I could not longer go on.

The catmill that is described earlier seems incredibly dangerous, as do many other the methods, I would be curious to know how many dogs end up choking or strangling themselves in such a device.

The springpole is really horrible, forcing a dog to jump at something and having it actually grab it so it can then dangle in the air. That couldn’t possibly do anything but harm the dog’s jaw.

The flirtpole is along the same lines as the others, it is just cruel.

The chains is by far one of the worst methods of training mentioned, I do not see how that would help the dogs performance in the least. It is cruel and viscious, this is extremely dangerous to the dogs.

The weights, very similar to the chains are incredibly dangerous and harsh on the dogs. To be permanently attached to a large amount of weights cannot be at all healthy for the dogs!!! Would you want to have a large weight tied around your neck at all times, especially while you were being forced to run lapse??

The bait, as with most of the other forms of training, is incredibly inhumane, it is not only abuse of the dogs but of many other animals as well. These people think that other animals are completely disposable and can be fed to their dogs and killed for their benefit. It is absolutely disgusting!

As for vitamins and supplements, animals are not meant to have things like that injected into them. If you are a loving pet owner and you need to give your dog vitamins to help it recover from an illness, that is one thing, but to make them “perform better” in some psycho’s eyes that are using the dogs for a completely horrific purpose in the first place, it is completely unacceptable.
