I'm calling bullshit on this one. Just out of curiousity, how many fighting---and I mean real fighting dogs have you really had contact with. I'm not talking about someone who has a big pit he claims is a badass, I'm talking about hardcore proven dogs. It really, really seems from your posts that the numbers are 0.
Yes pits have a history of fighting that cannot be denied, but they also have a long history as devoted family pets. Conditioning in the pit was so they fought as they were trained to od. We've had this argument before, they are not the viscious mindless killers you seem to think they are. They are a dog, doing what they, as a dog have been trained to do. Yes, you cannot deny the history of bull baiting, fighting, but you can neither deny the history of the breed as companions for presidents, companions for children---even blind and deaf children. The versitility of the breed goes far beyond the fighting pit.
If they were the "machines' that you have them as, why was it when I worked with animal control we dealt with case after case after case where family pets were stolen and forced into a pit only to get mauled--and for the most part were killed. Those dogs did not fight anything like the dogs that had been trained to fight. they got killed. You would think if they were the mindless killers you are portraying them to be that would never have happened.
I've got a "game bred" female and a female puppy. I just introduced a 100+ lb intact male dogo to my house within the last month. has there been a dog fight? No, not one. Why? because the female is trained appropriately and the dogo is getting trained appropriately. They are dogs, not machines.
YOur putting words in my mouth.
You have such an emotional investment in this breed that you refuse to open your eyes that the fact of the
extraordinary problems with them. Sounds like you've seen plenty to me.
Not 1 in 100 of your customers will train or work with their animals to the degree you will. Fact is most "pitt" owners in the USA are irresponsible -The Animal is behind a fence that cant contain the animal in a large city.
Accident waiting to happen.
Go walk thru any large city (except the ones w/ breed laws) and you'll see plenty.
Every one of these mauling has 1 thing in common.... "He NEVER acted like that before..."
Well, Boo Hoo it's a little too late then, isn't it?
Its Ok, the ortho surgeons and Lawyers and judges will figure it out.
Dont sweat it Animals are on equal par a human beings...
I got to go, Time for some Pork-chops...
Maybee anyone who eats meat should be required to kill a animal for the privilege, or be force to go vegetarian.
Let them eat their hypocrisy.
