Ugh. That whole dog fighting ghetto culture thing drives me fucking batty. Our neighbors raise pit bulls and I am always trying to keep an eye out to see what they're doing and who they're selling them to.
They showed video of one of the fights on CNN. It was extremely disturbing.
The dog in my icon, Woofy, most likely came from a dog fighting ring. He was wandering the neighborhood as a stray, and there was a known dog fighting ring in the neighborhood. Woofy is an amazing escape artist, btw. Later, a vet confirmed that his hamstring muscles were severely underdeveloped, which is indicative of living in a crate during crucial growing months. He was an eight month old malamute x when Freddy got him, but he was so beat up and dirty that Freddy at first thought he was an old German Shepherd. :-(
And the whole pit thing really pisses me off. Pits are darling little dogs. Their reputation is the fault of bad people, not the dog's natural disposition. Pits are some of the sweetest dogs in the world when raised in a loving household.
I have had two pits and they were both loving, gentle dogs. I had one for 12 years and the other for 4 before someone loved it so much, I let it go home with them, lol. Of course, we love our animals like our kids...I can't even watch the video, that makes me ill.
an email list i am on is promoting going to picket the falcons training camp 7/26.. they are trying to get a group together. the lady got an email from someone in ohio that wants to drive down to attend the picket.
