                    <p><strong>Mixed Martial Arts Middleweight Champion Jake Shields teams up with For Pits&rsquo; Sake to stop cruelty and abuse through the Knock Out Dog Fighting program.</strong><br />



Kris Crawford of For Pits’ Sake, Inc. today announced that Strikeforce Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Middleweight Champion Jake Shields is the latest of a long list of professional fighters to join the Knock Out Dog Fighting program. Shields’ is speaking out against the cruel practice of dog fighting with the release of a new Knock Out Dog Fighting poster.



The Knock Out Dog Fighting program is an award-winning youth intervention program created to stop cruelty and abuse. The organization partners with community based organizations, schools, community centers, juvenile detention facilities, law enforcement and gang prevention task forces to to provide healthy alternatives to dog fighting. Knock Out Dog Fighting team members are positive role models that teach empathy for animals and help at-risk youth make better choices, develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles. This reduces involvement in dog fighting and other gang-related activities.



Shields, a single father to his 8-year-old daughter, holds 4 major championship belts: Strikeforce Middleweight Champion, Elite XC Welterweight Champion, Rumble On The Rock Welterweight Champion and Shooto World Champion. “Now that I am a known fighter I think it’s important for me to be a positive role model and speak out to let people know this kind of stuff isn’t OK,” said Shields. “As professional fighters, we are willing participants and can walk away whenever we want. Dogs aren’t given that choice.”



“We are excited to have Jake speaking out against cruelty and abuse,” said Crawford. “As a role model to millions of young fans, Jake has the ability to positively influence behavior. We look forward to his involvement in our youth intervention programs,” said Crawford.

Good. Arlovski was/is big into this as well.

On a separate note: "...to to provide healthy alternatives to dog fighting." That's a wierd way to word something.

thirdleg - I understand why some people are up in arms over it, but I personally have no problems with dog fighting. They're animals without feelings, and plus they don't even have a soul. I'm against abuse for no reason, but if it's for a sport like dog fighting (where the animals WANT to fight) then it doesn't bother me.


oh haha more funny. animals want to fight till death haha of course. animals has no feelings so they no understand pain haha. abuse for spectator sport is good haha thirdleg has soul and feelings so he know the truth

 too late.

Pure ignorance.  If Jake saw some dogfights involving more ground work, like where one of the dogs spends most of the bout mounting the other dog, he'd probably warm to it.
