Dog Fighting Game Virus – What a shame
Now obviously I am not in favour of computer virus’s and hacking but must admit that when I found out that the Android App “Dog Wars” was infected with a virus, it brought a small smile to my face.
Once infected the virus apparently sends a message to everybody in the persons phone contacts saying “I take pleasure in hurting small animals, just thought you should know that,”
This App is a game where the purpose is to become the biggest virtual dog fighter, and even the disgraced American Footballer Michael Vick, who was sentenced for his role in organised Dog Fighting, had criticised the game.
(Funnily enough the group “Dogs Deserve Better,” who bought Vick’s former home, continues its work to turn it into a rehabilitation centre for chained and abused dogs)
The owners of the App say that it’s only a video game, and to a point they are right, as there are plenty are war type video games on the market, and not everybody that buys them gets a gun and mows down all in their path. But why glorify the act of dog fighting, that I am sure even the biggest war mongers around, would have to despise ?
