Artist Who Made People Cry With Her ‘Good Boy’ Comics Just Released A New One About A Dog, Says It Was Painful To Draw
311k followers on Jenny Jinya’s Instagram account know what they have signed up for. Her comic strips are not for the faint-hearted, and it’s because they show the harsh reality of how cruel humans can be to animals. Jenny’s stories have been dubbed tearjerkers that stick with us for days to come.
This time, the German illustrator is back with a heartbreaking strip about a dog born to be bred as a dog fighter. “I’m sorry it took me so long. It was extremely painful to draw,” confessed Jenny to her followers and we feel her.
It’s not the first time Jenny has raised awareness on animal cruelty. Her previous equally powerful comic strips featured a black cat, a duck, an albatross, a lion, and an elephant.

Jenny just released a new strip showing the cruel practice of dog fights
Bored Panda reached out to Jenny to find out what led her to draw this particular strip on a dog fighter. It turns out, the artist was always bothered by the extremely negative stigma these dogs have. But she knew they were the sweetest animals since her friends had them.
Jenny was aware that pit bulls are forced to fight and endure severe injuries. But the research she did before drawing revealed an even darker side to it. “I first learned that pit bull puppies are partly stolen from normal households and trained. These animals were hoping for a family full of love and are taken away into a world of violence and loneliness.”
The German illustrator confessed that the more she read “about this blood sport, the heavier my heart became.” This touching strip is a result of Jenny’s profound sorrow.
It turns out, Jenny was reluctant to work on the topic because it was too painful

In a previous interview with Bored Panda, Jenny said that it is emotionally draining to create such powerful stories. “Conducting research about the issue in question is always depressing enough, but when I sketch out the storyboard, a few tears run down my cheeks, too,” she confessed.
Her recent comic on a dog fighter showed what a terrible form of animal cruelty it truly is. “The dogs are raised in isolation, drugged, abused, and mistreated since they were puppies. Conditioned to be aggressive and ready to fight,” reads the artist’s statement in the post, which got 127K likes in just two days.
Dog fighting is considered a felony offense in all 50 states, declared the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. According to their report, dog fighting victims “may have their ears cropped and tails docked” to “limit the areas another dog can grab onto in a fight” and “to shut down body language cues.”
Victims may also be given a variety of drugs like ”anabolic steroids to enhance muscle mass and encourage aggressiveness.” Other narcotic drugs are used to “increase aggression and mask pain or fear during a fight.”
And this is what people had to say

Share on FacebookThis cruel sport, along with all the others that cause animals to be abused and tortured MUST BE STOPPED. I think I need to do more to support charities who work on these issues...
It must be stopped, yes, but it will not without good people raising their voices for those tortured animals. Yes Oskar, you need and you shall support animal protections organizations which fight animal cruelty, all good people should do that or they are not good. Human rights, social justice are unattainable without animal rights, their right to be treated humanely and with kindness.

R L that's why every half decent person should support reputable animal protection organizations, there are ways to help: sign petitions, ask others to sign, contact the legislators on all levels of the government and other authorities.

Load More Replies...I know it's just a drawing, but I have never wanted to hug a puppy so badly. It's terrible to abuse ANY animal. But to betray the innocent and perfect trust of a dog in such a brutal manner is beyond despicable. Dog fighters are the lowest form of humanity and they are dangerous. Anyone who gets off on other living beings ripping each other a part is a violent crime waiting to happen.
Her comics are brilliant but this is one that I will have a hard time reading again. My heart breaks for the poor pups used for this horrible torture and it just makes me cry
Leekun, of course you have a hard time reading Jenny's comics, the reason behind them is to stir compassion for animals in people and spur them to action. If it makes you uncomfortable, do something about it, support a reputable animal protection organization(s), please, those animals don't have anybody else to help them.

People are always like "If you aren't vegan, you're a monster and should be killed!" but a lot of people can't even be vegetarian because of things like sensory processing disorder and nut allergies.

Dogs are so loyal. We failed to understand that we have friends, family, etc. They only have us.
"Though legal in Japan and parts of Russia, dogfighting has been outlawed in most of the world. Still, it remains popular. Legal or not, dog fights are held openly in parts of Latin America, Pakistan and Eastern Europe, and clandestinely in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States, estimates that at least 40,000 people are involved in the industry domestically."

This isn't a sport, it isn't entertainment, it is a dopamine rush for numb, braindead junkies that don't deserve it. They belong in a clinic. They are just too dumb to build robots for battle, so they abuse living creatures. Pathetic pieces of carcass.
Animal abusers need to be treated the same as child abusers. Animals can't talk. Children sometimes can but not if too young. And child abusers do not have it easy in the prison system. It should never be glorified to cheer for animals to hurt one another nor bred into them or profited from. TREAT ANIMAL ABUSE AS CHILD ABUSE IN COURTS.
I agree with you Mad; sadly it will never happen, because of greed. There's a lot of money involved in animal abuse. Only when good, decent people, many of them, will speak out for animals and pressure politicians to act. Animal activists need a lot of help, it's not easy to sell compassion and fight corruption and greed.

these comics are amazing. the art work is stunning and so many people love how you can use your talents to try to stop animal abuse. we commend you for that. stay safe!
Darn these onion ninjas. This is so sad. No animal deserves to be hurt like this.
To be certain, I am not a vegetarian. I know and understand that whipping, stealing, and cruelty to any animal is wrong, but I do eat meat. Animals were created/evolved to feed and to sustain humans as much as it was to survive.

I raised a puppy. They are born with the genetic dispostion to love everybody and everything, most of all humans. The trust they have in you is like that of your own child, only that it lasts forever and comes from an entirely different species. To be able to abuse that kind of trust and truly unconditional love one needs to be true sociopath. To do that for amusement requires a mind that if we found it in a dog we would immediately put it down.
I adopted a puppy that was half cocker spaniel. Even as a puppy she showed signs of the rage syndrome and when she was older would randomly and unprovokedly viciously bite. After she bit all the way through my nose my parents took her. She died at age 22. She bit through a girl's thumbnail once, for no reason.

Load More Replies...This heart breaking story is heart breaking bc it’s true. Dog abuse is something that is often looked over and feels good to have someone recognize it in the way that these illustrations do. Dog fighting is something that MUST be stopped. It is something that l believe everyone should recognize this terrible form of abuse and animal abuse in general and stop it. It takes away dogs’ and animals chance at a life where they can live life to its fullest with people who care for them.
Thank you, Jenny Jinya. I like how you cast a gentle light on humanity's least attractive traits. Your work is much appreciated, even as it makes us cry. <3
I am sorry an old guy here and started to choke up and cry after the 5th panel. How any human being could do this to any animal makes me sick. I have rescued several dogs in my lifetime that were from dog fighting and they were the best I ever had. Oh it was a challenge but so worth it. They turned to be wonderful after a few days of being around our other dogs. When we said walkies, and saw the other dogs so happy to get their harnesses on they followed suit. Talk about a lot of stares walking Pitties and Saint Bernards and a 3 lb Chihuhaha wow. IN a few days the fighting pitties were lying on their own beds, and the chis and poms and min pins would lay next to them or on top of them like they did our Saints. They are all with my Albert at the Bridge. I am down to my last 10, 4 just turned 21 on Saturday. But if the SPCA calls me they know just bring the dog over... We must hand out death sentences to any and all involved in animal fighting, not just dogs, cats, wild animals, c**k
I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and compassion, Albert. Thank you so much. "The only religion is kindness." - Dalai Lama .... well, not many "religious" people in this world. That is the saddest thing there is, something so powerful could do so much good, but it does not.

Hit even harder when the dog had the same name as one of mine.
My first dog was a pitbull named Kayla. She was found under my mom's friend's car, and not long after one of their neighbors was arrested for dog fighting. Kayla likely escaped a horrible fate. If only all the others could have the same luck :(
Seeing such a sweet and cute puppy being beaten and forced to become an aggressive monster out of pure fear makes me cry. I had a pitbull/lab mix when I was little, she was a super sweet dog and even saved my little sister (who was around 2 at the time) from being attacked by another dog once.
For everyone crying like me, here's a small encounter I had today: Two dude's were walking their dog, a pitbull puppy who was very scared of the sound of the cars. They were calming him down and as everyone who knows me knows, I love dogs so I asked if I could pet him, they said yes. I did, and my gosh, he was so adorable, I crouched down and he was wagging his tail so hard he could've caused a hurricane, he licked my face and all. Very good boi, 10/10, would pet again. (One of the guys picked him up after we parted, as the doggy was still scared of the cars)
my old dog barnaby was a bait puppy for those fights. he hated almost everyone. he'd had a really hard life before we had him. the shelter my parents got him from said they'd found him on the streets...and when he died, they found a bullet in his head. i hate dog fights so much.
really made me cry i respect dogs its so sad that their forced to fight to the death just so they can do it all over again without getting anything from their owners, all this dog wanted was to be friends.
Dog fighting is so bad. It also makes pit bulls look bad, which is really bad. Where I live there are a LOT of pits in the shelters, and not enough people willing to adopt them
and as well as this they will steal small dogs to "train" the pitbulls on and to fire them up before the fight :( NO animal should go through Hel/Hell/Hades in the name of "entertainment"!
I love this can you do one about dogs being killed in shelters because of over extensions
Awww poor baby. Even though dogfighting is now illegal there are people who do it in secret, like illegal drugs. I pray those monsters are stopped and those poor dogs have to fight no longer. The sad part is most can’t be rehomed if theyre saved from the fight because they’ve grown too vicious.
Pit bulls don't need to be trained to be aggressive to other dogs. They were bred to be, over decades. That is an innate part of them, even the breed standard states it. Most of them will go after other dogs, bc that's what they were made to do, the same way a Jack Russell was made to go after rats. But being bred for something doesn't mean that's all you're capable of. Not all collies are used for herding, not all hounds are used for hunting. If the right people who understand the needs of the breed get a pit bull, they're excellent dogs like any other. Always research the breed you're interested in and choose one that fits you and your lifestyle. If you have other dogs or small animals, a pit bull is probably not for you (unless you seek a reputable breeder with amazing dog friendly lines, which is possible but difficult). For an only dog household, maybe with older kids? Wonderful choice, they love people. Mine loved everyone except other dogs, so she was muzzled outside.
i enjoyed watching boxing, UFC or even gladiator, but watching a animal forced to fight for human entertainment it just cruel.
It amazes me how stuff like this is still going on TODAY. I mean how can people stand to watch something like that anyway?? They should just stick to horse races or whatever not take it a step further into madness.
Dear Shinomi, you obviously do not realize how much cruelty is there behind horse and greyhound racing. They just should stick to leaving animals in peace, don't you think so? Our planet would be healthy and happy place to live for all its inhabitants. Billions of animals are raised for the sole purpose to be atrociously abused.

Always research the breed you're interested in and choose one that fits you and your lifestyle. If you have other dogs or small animals, a pit bull is probably not for you (unless you seek a reputable breeder with amazing dog friendly lines, which is possible but difficult). For an only dog household, maybe with older kids? Wonderful choice, they love people. Mine loved everyone except other dogs, so she was muzzled outside.
i enjoyed watching boxing, UFC or even gladiator, but watching a animal forced to fight for human entertainment it just cruel.
It amazes me how stuff like this is still going on TODAY. I mean how can people stand to watch something like that anyway?? They should just stick to horse races or whatever not take it a step further into madness.
Dear Shinomi, you obviously do not realize how much cruelty is there behind horse and greyhound racing. They just should stick to leaving animals in peace, don't you think so? Our planet would be healthy and happy place to live for all its inhabitants. Billions of animals are raised for the sole purpose to be atrociously abused.

"It is easy to sell hope, but hope without action is an excuse." So too many "good" people are making too many excuses. Nothing will ever change for animals, and therefore for humanity.

What are you planing to do about it, Wendy? How will you help for that to happen?

Poignant and heartbreaking, however grateful for the relatively happy ending
Well, Ed Faron is known as the "Godfather of Dog Fighting" in the USA and is a white male so... Probably based off of him. Plus, dog fighting has a long history in America and Europe.
