120 memorable photos of 2012

In this April 3, 2012, photo, more than 200 pit bulls and other breeds are chained in their respective steel drum cages at a coffee farm lot in San Pablo city, Laguna province, south of Manila, Philippines, following their rescue from South Korean nationals. Dozens of pit bulls rescued from a dogfighting ring were being put down by activists who said there were no facilities to rehabilitate them and prevent them from again being used in underground arenas.
