Google is facing growing and well-deserved criticism from the Humane Society, the ASPCA and animal rights activists who are outraged over an Android app called “Dog Wars.” The video game, built by Kage Games, glorifies dog fighting and depicts a bloodied pit bull next to the game’s logo on Kage’s website. “Dog Wars” could be used as a virtual training ground for would-be dogfighters, said Humane Society President Wayne Pacelle.
