Chandler R. Thomas argues that youth in urban or “street” areas are having a more different way of having fun by dog fighting. He claims that a lot of kids in Weaver’s neighborhood don’t get the attention and love that they need from home, so they take it out on their animals. Thomas develops this claim by first investigating DeAndre Weaver, a former dog fighter. He decides not to fight dogs anymore because his favorite dog was killed in a dog fight. Thomas writes about the changes Weaver did from being the victim, to trying to stop dog fighting. Lastly, the author announces that Weaver is now apart of programs to make an aware of pit bulls in dog fights. Also try to keep youth from urban street dog fighting. Chandler R. Thomas’s purpose is to give an example of a person that has personally experienced it before, in order to show that dogfighting is a serious issue.
