Tell Google: Remove dog-fighting app from Android store

Does Google support the brutal “sport” of dog fighting?
Robert Pregulman, a dog lover from Seattle, started a petition last week on Change.org asking Google to remove an Android application called “KG Dogfighting” that encourages users to prepare virtual dogs to fight through training, steroids, and shock collars.
Google’s Android app policy is crystal clear: "Android Market should not be used for unlawful purposes or for promotion of dangerous and illegal activities.”
Dog fighting is clearly dangerous and illegal, as it’s a felony in all 50 states. But -- despite receiving more than 17,000 signatures from Change.org members -- Google has still failed to remove the “KG Dogfighting” app from the Android platform.
If “don’t be evil” is Google’s motto, why aren’t Google executives doing the right thing? Click here to join Robert Pregulman in asking Google to remove this dog-fighting app from Android’s store:
