I know how you feel veegan. My brother-in-law ran a rescue for pit bulls here in the area before he moved. It was so sad! Most of them were rescued from abusive homes and one was a female confiscated after the police shut down a dog fight ring. She was used to breed fight dogs. When they took her away, the owner said that he didn't care because she hadn't had any healtly puppies in a year! She died a week later from a hemmorage from her being overbred.

I have actually had the police called over here once. My dog is part ChowChow and even though she is in a pen and never gets out, someone called the law and told them I had a vicious dog. Apparently, she barked at someone who was walking down the road. I showed the officer the pen I had her in and I let him pet her. He said he was satisfied with the sitiuation and appoligized to me saying that he had to check it out.

Yipes! I'm ranting! I'll stop now. lol.
