Mutilated Bait Dog Accepted Into Corridor Rescue, Inc. Suffering From Dwindling Funds

(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 17, 2011 ) Houston, TX -- Given the name Trooper, the dog was taken to a veterinary hospital for immediate medical care. Corridor Rescue feeds, rescues and rehabilitates dogs and cats found in the Corridor of Cruelty, a Houston location which is notorious for being a dumping ground for dead dogs from illegal dog fighting.

Bait dogs are used to test a dogs fighting instinct. According to reports by the National Humane Society, sometimes the snout of the bait dog is wrapped with duct tape to prevent it from injuring the dog being conditioned to fight.

Injures to the ear


 


Trooper, the former bait dog, is healing and gaining weight while he waits for a foster home.


Founder of Corridor Rescue, determined that Corridor Rescue had no other choice than to help this critically injured dog. She states, “Young Trooper is between 9 and 12 months old and thankfully heartworm negative, just a baby that has been through more torture and horror than we can imagine.”

“When think about dog-fighting in America, my first thoughts are those of the atrocities that took place within Michael Vick's Bad Newz Kennels. The truth of the matter is that dog-fighting, on any level, is an unconscionable act of torture. It doesn't just involve the dogs that bring in large amounts of cash to their owners, it also involves dogs like Trooper, who are more submissive, those that endure repeated acts of violence, disfigurement and sometimes death. Dog-fighting isn't isolated to specific socio-economic groups. Drive through some of the more desolate areas of The Corridor of Cruelty, where trash bags with rotting carcasses of those unfortunate enough to be discarded for ‘under-performance’, or those who died being used as bait, can be found on the street. We need to become a voice for the voiceless in order for change to occur. Without education and public awareness, dog-fighting and violence against animals will continue to escalate, not just in our city but throughout the US,” comments Heather Tubbs, CRI Foster Program Director.

Trooper is healing from his injures and is being prepared for placement in a volunteer foster home or a permanent adoption home.
