"Dog used as bait in dog fighting!" Nope. Dog had infection and had skin flaps made.

dog used as bait dog in dog fighting. Nopes. Dog skin infection, skin flap surgery

Okay, I copied this one. 

"By now you've seen this pic of this poor dog's face. Some instantly jump to the wrong conclusion that a human slashed the dog even though the real story is generally with the picture. Some also state the dog was given away for free on Craigslist then was used as dog fight bait, also not true. People are using this pic for their own made up story. I've seen at least five different versions. I also saw some people trying to illegally get donations for this dog when they don't have it.

This dog was a stray on the street who was attacked by other stray dogs. The bites got infected. A rescuer St Francis Angels picked up the dog and took her to the vet. This is what she looked like right after they picked her up.

Her wounds were infected and needed to be cleaned. They had to debride some of the dead flesh. They were left with exposed bone so they had to do a skin graft. They took part of her scalp and flipped it over to cover her nasal bone. This is why she has so many stitches and is all cut up.

The group caring for this dog named Camilla is St Francis Angels. Here is their page with the story of this dog. They are in Richmond, Texas. 
The group is run by Anne Banman Graber, a critical care veterinary nurse of almost thirty years. The group is not currently a 501 3c."

"Dog skinned alive and running from butcher." Nopes. It's a farm animal that was killed and skinned while dead.

dog skinned alive running from butcher, snopes, lamb, sheep being sold at market, fake news
"Dog skinned alive and running from butcher." Come on! There is a bag over the head. You can clearly see it's a cloven animal. It's not a dog. It's just a garish display at a Chinese outdoor market. It's a younger sheep or lamb that has had it's fur removed. It was not skinned alive. It's almost impossible to skin an animal alive. It's much easier to skin them when they're dead. It would make no sense to skin them alive.

People make up these fake stories so they can make petitions to snag the email address of animal lovers. Sometimes they even ask for donations. It's fake news.

That said we're against eating any animals for food.
