What Dog Fighting means to me.

So I grew up, until I was 11, in the city of Detroit. I was born, raised, and schooled mostly in the city limits.
My first time witnessing the cruelty that man inflicts on animals, was dog fighting. Our neighbors did it, people in the parkways did it, there were pitbulls everywhere, my whole life growing up.
We saw them beat and put into trunks of

What you've written here is truly inspirational. I had never thought about adopting a pitt bull before, but now I do want to. I never understood why my pastor adopted a pitt bull, but now I know why: because he understood this. It wasn't because I was scared of or had doubts about pitt bulls, but because they're not the type of dog I've envisioned myself having. I envision myself with a larger dog, such as a German shepherd or a mastiff. But never a Pitt bull. But now I'll definitely consider Pitts when I do get around to adopting a dog.

You're a wonderful person.
I love pit bulls, too. When I was younger, I bought into the bs about the breed , it wasn't until one of my friends got a pit puppy and I got to know the breed that I learned what wonderful dogs they are. I wish the public could be more enlightened about them and their plight. I feel the same about stray cats, too, the urban situation with them is horrible, their lives are miserable when they are out on the streets, breeding and starving and fighting.
