You may have heard that the Dutch beer behemoth Heineken found itself in a bit of trouble recently. Seems their promotional banners were photographed on display at a dog fight in Asia. Maybe Mongolia. And the photo was from last year, but it’s getting traction now.
Now, I’ve read some of these stories and the company explains that the banners were there from an event the night before. Wonder why they don’t say what the “event” was? If it wasn’t dog fighting, then why not just say so?
What do you think? Did Heineken know that the venue was being used for dog fights? Or didn’t they?
What You Learned Today:
- Sometimes things you see on the Internet are true. Sometimes they’re not.
- Heineken promotional banners are clearly visible in a building where dog fighting takes place. (Or are they? Is it a bit of some not-so-fun-foto-fabrication?)
- Do you wonder if Heineken is telling the truth?
- Better yet, do you wonder why people like dog fighting?
- I’d like to deprive their kids of life’s basics, teach them to fight and kill, and throw them into a ring at the same place and see how they like that.

Stuart – I agree with you 100% on the last suggestion on your list above!!!!!! What sick and demented person would even entertain the idea of a dog fight? Sometimeshumans just amaze me (and not in a good way).

I only fight with Kenzie and it only lasts a second. No beer banners. I asked Them about dog fights and They’ve never been to one. He, however, did attend a cock fight in a country that should remain nameless (but the local language was Spanish and it was involved with a canal) since it was illegal there (but many government officals attended-no danger of a raid). It even had its own building. He never returned. The closest any of us has been to one is being at a football game where Michael Sick played-before the trouble was known publicly. I’ll be quiet know because once I get started on this I never stop barking.

Wow, do we ever agree with you and Kyla. Michael Sick should have been thrown out of everything and still be in jail, ick! God put us on Earth so we could bring joy to peeps not to be used for such awful stuff. And, yes, we believe Hineyken is definitely involved in all of it. We sure are glad our Peep does not drink…more time for us, especially the belly rubs..ooooh so nice. Sady & Lucy in Texas

We think they knew and are just trying to cover up! Hope the dog fighting will be stopped too, but guess that’s too much to hope for.

Dad says it’s the Daily Fail, so not to be taken too seriously. They will do anything to sell their rag. Be that as it may, dog fighting is sickening, and we could care less about how it’s a part of their so-called culture or not. Causing needless suffering is just not on.
