You know, I'm not saying that all pits don't make it through. But is it worth the chance? I'm not going to gamble with her life. I remember when I got Rosco from the pound, the guy said "We would have put him down, but we thought we was all Sharpei at first." (He was sharpei-pit.) Uma was the only pit looking dog out of all the unfortunate chained up ones so her odds are actually the worst. The others have a good chance of being adopted out.

No, Kfamr...I won't take any other unfortunate dog. I'll only take a dog that I want. I don't want to wind up with a dog that I don't want. If I took every unfortunate dog that I saw, I'd have hundreds. Also, Uma was treated just as bad as the rest. She was on a short chain with no food, water, or shelter from the rain just like the chi, and a few other mutts. The purebred pitbulls at least had their own sideyard with dog houses, food and water.

The bottom line comes down to is $300 worth a dog's life. Damn straight it is. You are just finding another reason to argue.
