When HSUS got in bed with Michael Vick to promote their “End Dogfighting” campaign, many of us were skeptical. Nothing to date has changed my skepticism in that regard.
You may have heard about a new app for the Android market called “Dog Wars”. Basically, you can play dogfighter on your phone. Yay. There has been a huge outcry from pet advocates, condemning the app and asking Android (owned by Google) to block it.
Android tells advocates to quit bitching because “it’s just a video game”. I bet Android is happy that HSUS and Michael Vick have been mum on the controversy thus far.
If you are opposed to the promotion of dogfighting as a game, sign this petition. It’s already got about 7700 signatures. I haven’t scrolled through to see if Michael Vick or Wayne Pacelle are among them. I imagine they are still working the “How can we fundraise off this?” angle and haven’t had a chance yet to publicly comment.
