Britain is facing a devastating epidemic of organised dog fighting, with brutal matches now stretching for up to three hours as criminals breed increasingly aggressive animals designed for maximum violence.
The Shocking Scale of Animal Suffering
An exclusive Mirror investigation has uncovered that dog fighting has reached alarming levels across the UK, with the RSPCA revealing they're receiving an average of 90 reports every single day about organised animal fighting. The cruelty has escalated to unprecedented levels, with fights now lasting significantly longer than ever before.
From Hours-Long Battles to Puppy Training Rings
Disturbing evidence shows that criminals are not only forcing dogs to endure marathon fighting sessions but are also breeding puppies specifically for this brutal 'sport'. These young animals are being trained from birth to become aggressive fighters, with many never knowing anything but violence and pain.
Organised Crime's Grip on Animal Cruelty
The RSPCA's Special Operations Unit has identified that dog fighting has become deeply embedded within organised crime networks. These criminal enterprises operate across county lines, making it increasingly difficult for authorities to track and prosecute those responsible.
A National Crisis Demanding Action
With incidents reported from urban centres to rural communities, no part of the UK remains untouched by this barbaric practice. Animal welfare experts describe the situation as the worst they've witnessed in decades, calling for urgent government intervention and increased resources for enforcement.
