Andre Ward Knocks Out Dog Fighting
Written by Vegetarian Star on February 17th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Athletes-Games-Sports.
WBA Super Middleweight Boxing Champion Andre Ward is starring in a PSA for the Knock Out Dog Fighting Program.
The program partners with several organizations that come in contact with juveniles, such as law enforcement, schools and community centers in an effort to stop animal cruelty through education and by providing alternative activities for youth.
“Because of my accomplishments, I have a platform, whether I like it or not, and there are young and older people looking at me saying, ‘Ok, you’ve accomplished these great things but what are you going to do with your platform?’” Ward said.
“I plan to make a difference in the lives of others and bring awareness and knowledge to all who will listen about the cruelties of dog fighting and the link between those who abuse animals and those who abuse people.”
Ward has an undefeated record of 21-0 with 13 KOs as a professional boxer. He is also the only American boxer to win an Olympic gold medal in the past decade.
