Even though it is a gruesome activity, I decided to start my trail here this week since I wrote a story about two dogs fighting this week. The story I wrote wasn't about the sport of having people fight dogs, but it came to mind when thinking about a topic for this. One thing I found terrible to read was that even if the dog doesn't die in its fight, most owners especially in gangs kill the dog through different means. One thing I enjoyed learning was that this is a felony in all states and it is also illegal to provide for this sport in anyway so that means you don't have to fight the dogs just to get penalized. I almost think that it should be more than a Felony but that is my opinion. I learned that the sport can be traced back to the 1750's in America but became most popular after the Civil War. I'm proud of the ASPCA for trying to contain this terrible event.
American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
The ASPCA is a non-profit organization that try to protect animals from harm. It has been working since 1866 and its headquarters is located in New York City. I found it interesting that the ASPCA had false allegations against the Ringling Bros. which lead to a lawsuit in which they had to pay the circus. Overall I think this is a good organization and I think that they do great work.
When I was a kid I remember going to this circus and having a blast. I learned that the circus has been going for 146 years which I found pretty interesting. Although I haven't seen the movie yet, I had heard of The Greatest Showman which due to this reading I learned is about P.T Barnum and just came out this last year. One fun fact I learned on reading about the Circus was that in 2017 a Siberian Tiger named suzy had escaped in Florida. I can't imagine what I would do if I saw a wild tiger!
Hugh Jackman is one of my favorite actors but I learned that he plays P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman. I really enjoy the Wolverine character that he plays for it was a movie series that I started watching as a kid. I learned that he is 49 years old which is crazy for all of the action roles he plays in. I also learned that he is from Australia. I also learned that he is involved in charity work and even uses Twitter for it to see from fans where he should donate. I also learned that he was given the opportunity to be James Bond at one point.
