Academic Language Week 23 - Dog Fighting

There are many different reasons why betting on dogs to fight should be illegal. One reason is that animal cruelty is DISTINCT to the way we treat our pets at home because we wouldn't want anything bad to happen to them because they're like our family. Another reason is that a lot of dog owners have a FORMULA of what they are going to do to their dog after the dogs fight, whether it being that they won or they lost. Lastly, dogs don't have the POTENTIAL to speak up for themselves. That is why I think that dog fighting should be illegal.
