Although there are historical accounts of dog fights going back to the 1750s, widespread activity emerged after the Civil War, with professional pits proliferating in the 1860s, mainly in the Northeast. Ironically, it was a common form of entertainment for police officers and firemen-the "Police Gazette" served as a major source of information on dog fighting for many years. Although many laws were passed to outlaw the activity, dog fighting continued to expand during the twentieth century.

Why is dogfighting bad?
There are many reasons people are attracted to dog fighting. The most basic is greed. Major dog fight raids have resulted in seizures of more than $500,000, & it is not unusual for $20,000 - $30,000 to change hands in a single fight. Stud fees & the sale of pups from promising bloodlines can also bring in thousands of dollars.
