Google approves dog fighting apps

Google Android app: Dog Wars
Google Android app: Dog Wars

Google’s Android Market has given the green light for dog fighting content unlike Apple which finds the material objectionable. KageGames’ DogWars was the first dog fighting game approved under Google’s policy. KageGames apparently knows their dog fighting app won’t pass iTunes guidelines: “A game that will never be in the iPhone App Store.” Why? According to Apple, “Applications must not contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, etc.).”

Dog fighting is felony in all fifty states. KageGames has set up their Web site in South America making them difficult to prosecute. In crime ridden areas such as Detroit, these apps only romanticize dog fighting and the abuse of animals.

All-in-one dog app

“I wanted to create an app my dog would want me to download” says My Dog creator Holger Laufenberg. My Dog allows you to create and share your dog’s profile including veterinary records. Simply email your My Dog profile to anyone caring for your dog (i.e. groomer, vet, boarding kennel). My Dog also searches your area for pet-friendly hotels, dog parks or pet services.
