A look at the illegal culture of dog fighting and the keeping of dangerous dogs.

A group of youngsters, some as young as seven, were videoed in Parkwood goading four-month-old pit bull puppies to fight each other. One puppy tried to get away, but was held on a leash and forced to defend itself from attacks.

The video was handed to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). Their inspectors, with Cape Town law enforcement officers, confiscated two of the pups the next day, as well as four other dogs with new and old scars associated with dogfighting.
