'The Deadly Underground World of Dogfighting on Facebook' report demonstrates how prevalent and easy it is to find dog fighting.
An animal rights group has accused Facebook of lending its global platform to unethical puppy trading and illegal dogfighting.
Dogfighting is a felony crime in all 50 U.S. states and has been banned in the United Kingdom for over 180 years since the Cruelty to Animals Act of England and Wales was passed in 1835. LFT then notified Facebook moderators of 26 posts that violated the social media platform’s own policies, however only six of them were removed. The company, instead, urged the group to block, unfriend or unfollow the posts they declined to remove that “may still be offensive or distasteful.”
In a statement to Newsweek on Monday, Facebook clarified that"content promoting or depicting staged animals vs. animals fights isn't allowed on" our platform.
