I read an email a few hours ago and I've been sputtering mad ever since. It took me a few hours to calm down enough to even begin to consider posting a comprehensive blog entry about this. After reading this, I hope you CROSS POST this to as many blogs as we can and I hope that you report this as an inappropriate app to the Android Market ... here goes ...
A new Application has been released for the Android cellular phone OS ... it's called "Dog Wars". See the picture below ...
In this game, players train Pit Bulls to fight. The dogs are forced to drag tires and can be injected with steroids as their owners shoot at cops coming in to bust the ring.
Why does it feel like we are going backwards all of a sudden?
Although it looks as though Google has pulled "Dog Wars" off the marketplace, I strongly encourage everyone to let Google know just what they think of this application! Find the website below that will link you directly to a form you can fill in and send to Google.

I just published an article in support of the permanent removal of this game. I hope it meets with your approval.

P.S.: Yes, I did go to the Android App link and asked for the game to be removed.
I heard it has been removed.
Scary, how stupid an idea it is. Now think about it, though. They already have games where people are killing people.
Still, it simply makes dog-fighting OK, which it is NOT.
GAH!
I am amazed you have enough strength to type, DDF, with poopies everywhere!
FishHawk ... on my way over to read your post now!
GoLightly ... it was only temporarily removed. They are planning on putting it back up after the "updates". Google hasn't yet commented on the app from what I've found.
Thanks for posting this. Keep us updated.
ah, they changed the name to KG DogFighting. Evil bastards. Signed another petition, sent my "take down" request to google.
Even though I've heard Mr. Vick is "against it", it's a bit too late for that. Vick made dog fighting cool. Fight some dogs, make a few million.
ARRRRRRGH.
Yes its terrible. It teaches people to treat dogs cruelly.
It's on Facebook too.
I despise these games, not only because it's insensitive but also because it promotes dog fighting, which is a prevalent issue concerning dogs and the like.
Sad to hear that it did get removed but it was published with another name or whatnot. Eitherway, we won't let this madness continue!
This is terrible, I love dogs but to have fights with the same race. It breaks my heart, especially when we enjoy watching them fighting each other. :(
Thanks for posting this. Keep us updated.
Hey there, OT but I'm not sure if you remember me or not. I used to run DogGone Fugly and became inactive a while ago. I'm back now, with a new, more grown up website that is currently under construction and should be due to open up within a week. You can find it at intertwinedk9.blogspot.com. I've always appreciated your support, so your blog is under my "Notable Links" section. It'd be major cool of you to spread the word about it after I finish it up. Hope to be seeing you more often!

That is problem with the openness of the Android market place. You really don't know what kind of application will get in.
Glad to know from the comments that the game is already removed.
Dogs should be treated with love and not violence.
Nice link there, will I click it?
No way. Puppies for sale in the UK? EVERYBODY wants puppies.
Too bad so many don't want dogs.
sorry, just grumpy, as usual
I dont think there is need to do so..It depends person to person how he think about dogs..
Thanks

I really don't like games like that. My husband plays one where he shoots people (with blood flying, etc) and I simply don't understand the attraction.
Plus, with animals, I think it desensitizes people to how cruelly some animals are treated.
great post here!
by the way, do you do exlinking? if so, can we exlinks with my petblog? Fishy Talks
thanks,
GAGAY
I hate people who are cruel to animals especially to dogs. Dogs should be love for as they say they are man's best friend. I hope cruelty to animals will be stopped soon..
Hopping from adgitize! See yah around! :)
