We should be ashamed of ourselves for doing this to poor helpless animals. To pit one animal against another should be a criminal offense punishable by more than a slap on the wrist. This is a real eye-opener about all the Pits that are euthanized every DAY because of these bullies that train them to fight. They claim they "love" their dogs...what they love is the money the animal makes for them. What they do is brutalize them animals and play Vet Tech with them because they know they can't take them to a real Vet. Most just kill them rather than deal with a dog that doesn't win. Shame, shame.

A striking look at the harsh realities of dog-fighting

"This film was very well done, and while there are scenes where you see parts of actual dog-fights and other graphic images, the majority of the film consists of moving interviews with animal care experts and revolting interviews with actual dog-fighters. Clips of the dogs they claim to love so much being viciously attacked and torn apart in the bloody pit clearly demonstrates their lack of compassion and makes one wonder what kind of person "loves" their animals in this way. You will watch in disbelief as these men swear they love these animals, and in the same breath make it perfectly clear that when a dog stops winning, that dog is killed - there is room only for winners in the pit. This movie is a heartwrenching eye-opener to those less familiar with the cruel and bloody sport of dog-fighting, and sheds much needed light on how commonplace this brutal activity is."

Truly Worth Your Time

"Please watch this documentary. It is very powerful explaining how it is the humans on the other end of the heavy chain that causes the aggression in these poor dogs. ANY dog can bite, people have to stop being racist and learn the truth behind the problems, this video shows you that we are our own worst enemy. I adopted my dog from a shelter. She was used in fights as she has scars on her face, puncture marks on her legs but despite her horrid treatment, she still loves everyone. If my Pitbull can forgive why can't we?"

Just take a look at reality

"This movie is an extraordinary documentary about the underground world of the American Pitbull Terrier and it shows why we have so many aggressive pitbulls not because of the breed but because of the owner and nobody else."
