In tradition with fairy tales, a former dog fighting football star and animal activists came together to have a happily ever after, once the controversial app “Dog Wars” was disabled on the Android Market. But it seems like was all just a fantasy- the game is back, under a new name.
Apparently, the game was not pulled because of intimidation or a moral realization, but a copy right issue. Now, the game is called KG Dogfighting and comes with the following description:
“Raise your dog to beat the best!
AN APP THAT WILL NEVER APPEAR IN THE iPHONE APP STORE!
The Controversial Dogfighting Android “DogWars – Beta” app by Kage Games LLC has been renamed and uploaded here to the market as a paid app!
Feed, water, train and FIGHT your virtual dog against other players… action games, chatroom, many characters and dogs to choose from, virtual store, etc”
The app is now $2.99 in the Market, but is still in danger of being removed. The game has launched a moral battle on Google.
Change.org has created a petition to have the app officially banned. The American Human Society supports this petition.
