They Say, I Say CH.2 !

Exercise #1 Nov.6


Summary #1: 

I strongly disagree with Dig Fight!. I believe is just wrong and plain stupidity. Many cute,adorable,innocent dogs are killed or injured for no reason what so ever.These dog fights cause animals to be injured badly or even lead to death. I believe people use their dogs in dog fights just to get money for their own personal use. But why dogs? They should realize thats not right its more comprehendable if humans fight because its their choice but the poor dogs have no choice but to obey their owners unless they want to get beaten. And its not right for dogs to get killed over such stupidities.


Summary #2:

Althought some people find dog fights to be fun to watch. Which makes no sense at all to me, i find nothing fun about watching dogs kill them selfs because of their stupid no brain owners!
