Thirty Years With Fighting Dogs; Book on Dog Fighting?!??

I recently ordered a book from Amazon entitled Thirty Years with Fighting Dogs, it was written in 1936 by a man named George C. Armitage who got into dog fighting in about 1905 and became very well versed on the topic and the owner of many successful fighting dogs. He wanted to be able to answer people’s questions about how to go about training and fighting dogs and give his peers some advice. He also includes many of the fights that he has seen and other major names in dog fighting in his time.

This book is essentially a disgusting guide to being an inhumane, abusive dog fighter and that was exactly his purpose in writing the book. In his introduction he says: “I especially hope that it will prove of benefit to the amateurs and beginners in the game. If my knowledge and my experience help them over the rough spots in this rough game, I will be satisfied that it has been a good job well done.”

I do not care how long ago this book was written; the fact that it is still available is horrifying. I got it to use as an example of the fact that there really are guides as to how to be a dog fighter, but you know that there are still some freaks out there who get their hands on this book to use it in the way that Armitage initially intended it for. There should not be any form of support for these people!!

I believe the concept behind the book is absolutely horrible, but it has given me a tremendous amount of disturbing information and insight into the disgusting “game.” Which is why I will be using this book as a main source in my blog, it really emphasizes the points that I have been trying to make about the sick and twisted world that these people live in and the disturbed minds that they have.
