We all know that dog fighting is a serious problem, especially with pitbulls.Despite being wonderful companion animals, Pit Bulls often attract the worst kind of dog owners—those who are only interested in them for fighting 或者 protection. It's a shame what has happened to this loyal and affectionate breed. Despite its illegality, people are still training and breeding Pit Bulls to participate in dog fights across the country. Here are ten ways 你 can help end this cruel “sport”:
1. Support stronger laws. Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to keep up to 日期 on dog fighting legislation in your state.
2. Alert the media! Your local newspaper and 电视 station are always looking for stories, especially investigative ones—be sure to contact them about the cruelty and dangers of dog fighting.
3. Call 或者 write your local law enforcement department and let them know that investigating dog fighting cruelty should be a priority. Dog fighting is a CRIME — and the police MUST investigate these cases.
4. Keep your eyes and ears open. If 你 suspect dog fighting in your own neighborhood, contact the police 或者 your local animal control officer. Provide as much information as 你 can, such as the 日期 and time 你 noticed something wrong, the address 或者 location, and what led 你 to believe there was dog fighting taking place.
5. Protect your pets. Dog fighters sometimes steal companion 动物 to use as bait dogs. Don’t let your 动物 outside without supervision, and make sure they have proper identification 标签 and are microchipped.
6. Adopt a Pit 公牛 and let your perfect pooch be an ambassador for the breed! Be sure to read our Pit 公牛 adoption tips before 你 start your search.
7. Set a good example for others. If 你 are already the proud parent of a Pit Bull, be sure to always 显示 them the 爱情 and good care that they deserve. And always let others know what great companions they make!
8. Volunteer! If your local shelter is facing a Pit 公牛 dilemma, volunteer to help keep adoptable Pit Bulls and Pit mixes mentally and physically fit 由 exercising them 或者 taking them to obedience classes. 你 can also lead a chew-toy drive at work to collect rawhides 或者 hard rubber playthings to keep them busy, 或者 help create a fundraiser to support a free sterilization program for Pit Bulls in your local shelter.
9. Educate others in your community about the horrors of dog fighting and start a neighborhood watch program.
10. Teach your children. Do your kids have 问题 about dog fighting? Visit our children's website, ASPCAKids, for information about dog fighting that's written especially for kids.
Please, act quick, because dog fighting is begining to be a very serios problem, which we MUST stop.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (May 31) - Authorities on Sunday began the grim task of removing the carcasses of 55 whales that beached themselves and had to be shot despite the frantic rescue efforts of hundreds of volunteers.
Police had to put down 44 of the exhausted false killer whales to end their suffering, prompting scuffles with distraught locals desperate to save them. The rest died of stress and organ failure and the bodies of three whales who were initially thought to have escaped washed up overnight.
