You've heard of the 'Angry Birds' app for IPods and phones, but have you heard of the new dog fighting app called 'Dog Wars'? 'Dog Wars', better known as 'KG Dogfighting', is an app created by Google that gives its users the opportunity to train their own fighting dogs. There is even a way to buy injections for the dogs to take before the fight. The app's creators say that the money used to buy the app will be donated to animal rights organizations, however that doesn't take away from the fact that is simulates a real dog fight. The game can be seen as a teaching tool that encourages people to get into the sport. Michael Vick spoke out against the app saying, "I think it's important to send the smart message to kids, and not glorify this form of animal cruelty, even in an Android app." In the works right now is a virtual petition that, if enough votes are gathered, can remove the inhumane app and others like it.

A story was aired on 'America Now', an American politics and business news television series,   that concerned a new form of dog fighting called trunking. It's when dog fighters take two dogs, lock them in the trunk of a car, and let them fight to the death. Although the reports given on the news broadcast where from Memphis, TN., there have been reports recorded all around the nation. In order to avoid detection, dog handlers turn the music very loud and either leave the car parked or drive around until the fighting stops. They would then pop the trunk and declare the living dog the winner then throw the loser's carcass out onto the road. Experts say trunking is a training ground for dog and breeders. Trunking is a felony just like any other kind of dog fighting.

A raid resulted in four arrests for suspected involvement with dog fighting and animal abuse. Each convict will have charges against them worth three years in prison and an $100,000 fine. Twenty dogs were rescued from the unfit enviornment thanks to the help of the Humane Society and local officials in the area.  

Michael Vicks five-bedroom house in Norfolk, V.A. was baught by an animal rights group for $600,000. The house will become a rehabilitation center for scocially impaired dogs.
