#NeverBeSilent

Thiago “The Pitbull” Alves is a tough competitor who fights hard against opponents but has a kind heart when it comes to animals. Unlike loyal dogs who fight because they’re conditioned to do so by abusive owners, Thiago chooses to get into the ring. To speak up for animals, he teamed up with PETA for the “Never Be Silent” campaign. He encourages people to treat animals with respect and never fight or abuse them.

It takes only a moment to speak up for an animal in need. And sadly, plenty of animals need our help. If you see a dog left chained outdoors, a lost or stray animal wandering the streets, a dog locked in a hot car, or any other form of cruelty or neglect, speak up! Contact your local authorities or PETA for assistance.

Sign the pledge to never be silent…
