UPDATED:Pit fighting movie out

[lute]

I cant wait to own one and show my mom how nice they are.

sometimes owning a pittie can change people. both my parents hated pit bulls until Juicy came along. he prooved to them that pits are great dogs by protecting us and being such a big luvable lug!

I'm afraid I wouldn't even waste my money on it!!!

why

[GreyhoundGirl]

Could you guys ever own a retierd fighter, if one came your way?

Sorry, Pittie lovers, but I honestly don't think I could. It would just scare me. I've heard that they are gentle breeds, but the thought might keep me up at night. I don't think I could own a Presa Canario either.

I don't know why. Here are some thoughts as to why I don't like them as much as some other breeds:

-Maybe I'm just not into the "muscular" look.

-I've never had one before. ( or even seen one in real-life )

-I like being able to "phisically" control my dog if nessecairy.

Once again, Sorry any Pittie/Canario lovers that might be offended by this. I wanted to know the answer to the question, but didn't want to lie about the answer.

That is not possible, sadly. Humane Societys, ASPCA, and shelters often go in to the get these dogs, but it isn't possible to put them up for adoption, really. They are put to sleep right away, but a investigation undergoes. They are put to sleep because they will try to attack every dog on the street, everything looks like a fight to them. This isn't their fault, it's the idiots who fought them. These dogs are VERY loyal and only want to please, so the guy teaches them to fight and that's what he shows makes him happy, so they do it. It's a very sad fact, but its true.

GreyhoundGirl- Don't be sorry for your answers! They are YOUR answers and you are allowed to answer them anyway you wish! We all have our special breeds that we love and will always love!
If anyone were given the chance (somehow) I would own a retired fighter. They would have to only own that dog and no others (something I could not do!) And having to keep the dog away from the public where other dogs may be. It would be so hard, but it would be possible! The owner would have to have the dog register with their county maybe?
I'd love to help a retired fighter, but I think maybe the rest of their lives need to be spent in peace at the bridge after having such a hard start to life.
Then they can start their lives all over again! Maybe they are then reincarnated as Yorkies or Shih Tzu's! Then they can have a taste of the good life and be spoiled rotten and carried everywhere!!
(okay.. that post got away from me... sorry! )

I agree. There was a rescue shown on the video that had pits that were seized from the ring or retired. They fully evaluate them in all ways possible.And alot of them are fine with other dogs. Usually the reason the dog will be "discarded" is because they are too loving and wont fight

[wolflady]

People just make me sick Dog fighters are just fooling themselves if they say such oulandish things like "I love the breed". That is complete BS! Why not turn the tables on them, and make them fight other fighting people and see how they like it??

Sadly, where I live, there is a LOT of dog fighting going on. The year I was volunteering at my local shelter, we had so many fighting dogs and bait dogs come in. I felt so sad for the bait dogs. They were always so scarred on their faces and ears, but oh so sweet. Luckily, those dogs were pretty easy to adopt out. Unfortunately, we always had to put the fighting dogs down. When I say the fighting dogs were scary, they were scary. It's just sick that some people can do such a thing to an animal...turn it into a monster. The people are the real monsters though.

Another time when I was at the shelter, some guy had the nerve to waltz in and ask "do you have any unaltered pit bulls?" WTF??? I had to leave that area because I would have just gone off. I let the shelter employees handle him.

I really do hate people sometimes...

Being the type of people they are and who do that. They usually bring knives and guns and willl usually glady stab/shoot a person who dares to dissagree so not only is it ruining a great breed,putting out bad media,hurtiong the animals,they are also killing of people(maybe people who deserve to die because they fight pits) but killing another person non the less.
