Protest Goredog Fighting.

Dear Patrons of Goredog Fighting,

I always knew the day would come that I would have to protest goredog fighting in this sector, but naively I had hoped we might have evolved past such cruel practices by now.

To those of you who see nothing wrong with this: What makes you think that it is okay to take a living being and force it to fight against other living beings? Have you no conscience? No compassion? Do you feel nothing at all watching them release one goredog onto another, rooting for a winner as they tear each other into pieces?

These creatures are forced to savage one another  consumed by fear, anger and pain  just to entertain us. Then, after the brutal fight, the winner is rewarded with kibble.

Maybe you tell yourself it's okay because they're already naturally carnivorous or aggressive. They're mean. They're not cute, so they don't matter. Maybe you tell yourself it's fine because at least this way they're attacking each other and no one else. Maybe you don't care because it entertains you and that's as far as your thought process goes.

Goredog fighting should be illegal.

We need to take a stand. These creatures have no language to communicate but that does not mean they don't have thoughts and feelings. No one can tell us what is going on in their minds. Aggressive or not, we have no right to use these creatures as a sideshow and bet on their very lives. They are still living things.

By placing a bet in the goredog arena you are directly supporting this horrific trade as well as the backwards breeding experiments of the Loroi. If you have any compassion or empathy you will join me in protest. It isn't too late to change your stance.

Sincerely,

Clover Moonchild
GCEPS Ambassador
Be kind to all kind.
