\nMany residents of Moseley will be pleased to hear that the very first (and hopefully annual) Moseley Dog Fight was a roaring success and raised nearly \u00a3200 for sick kiddies. The brainchild of the Moseley Society had initially been met with a great deal of scepticism but all who attended agreed that the sight of torn flesh and shattered bones was enough to win over even the most jaded individual.<\/p>\n

For the last few years the Moseley Society have been looking for new ways to engage with a wider section of the community whilst maintaining it\u2019s reputation for generating money for needy causes. To this end it was decided that the usual jumble sale wasn\u2019t really what the kids wanted.<\/p>\n

The late night Moseley fight-fest was held at an undisclosed location in downtown Moseley and was attended by numerous local dignitaries each keen to be seen supporting local initiatives. It goes without saying that such an event was inevitably going to attract dissenters and Moseley\u2019s hippy brethren were more than vocal about their attitude to organised dog fighting. One told us afterwards \u201cIt was great I won a tenner on that little brown one, She\u2019s a violent little bitch. I suppose it must be the metal teeth that do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The obvious legal ramifications associated with raising money for charity through animal cruelty were ably pointed out to us by the Moseley police who told us \u201cAt the end of the day it\u2019s just good clean fun. Anyway it\u2019s not like it\u2019s really against the law. Well technically it is against the law but it\u2019s one of those silly little laws. We say good luck to them and we\u2019re hoping to enter one of our own dogs next year. We train them on real people you know.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
