Kage Games prepares to release truly sick ‘KG Dogfighting’
Controversial Dog Fighting App Back — And Better Than Ever, Developer Claims
A controversial Android app that takes users into the bloody underground world of dog fighting is back on the market — and getting ready to release an update the game’s developer calls ‘the biggest yet.’
In the game, players raise and train a virtual dog to become a killer, mauling other dogs in matches and winning virtual cash and “street cred” for each victory. In April, tens of thousands of animal-rights activists joined forces with football star and reformed dog fighter Michael Vick to decry ‘Dog Wars,’ calling it a celebration of cruelty to animals, drugs, guns and murder.
Google agreed, removing ‘Dog Wars’ from its Android Market in late April.
Today, dog fighting is back.
Renamed “KG Dogfighting,’ the “Dog Wars” app is being updated with advanced dog training levels; more items to train dogs with, including an array of whips; allowing users to buy and use a variety of drugs; and new guns for trainers to use in shootouts with ‘F.E.T.A.’ — a fictional law enforcement agency.
“The last thing our culture needs is yet another form of profiting from the use and torment of animals,’ Lee Hall, vice president of the animal rights group Friends of Animals, told FoxNews.com.
Hall and others remain disgusted with the idea of any game glorifying, promoting, or modeling how dogs are trained for such abuse and violence.
“It’s a virtual training camp for dog fighters,” Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States, told FoxNews.com in April.
”Dog Wars’ actually instructs players on how to condition a dog using methods that are true to organized dog fighting,” Pacelle added, “encouraging cruelty to dogs and leading young people down a dead-end path.”
The Game is being developed by a company called “Kage Games”, who should be boycotted until they agree to never produce a something like this again.
