Academic Language Week 23 - Dog Fighting

Should dog fighting be illegal?  Dog fighting should be  illegal.  One reason is because dogs are very distinct from humans but they can feel pain the same way we can. Another reason is because every time there is a fight dogs will potentially get hurt.  Lastly the formula used to make these fights a success is because the owners find different ways to make the dogs even more pissed and even more dangerous. Imagine if you protective house dog was stolen. Would you want them used in a dog fight just for the entertainment of others?
