dog fighting 2day

[Pitbull_Dam2k6]

now to my leastest post dog fighting it is growing and growing all over the world. i own a pit bull terrier and alough ppl with a stoupid mind and brainless idiots claim there dangerous. tht is the biggest load of ****** i have ever heard my dog is the most gental loving creature on this planet i can hug him when he,s asleep take his food his toys and his bones from him i tug his ears and kiss his face he doesnt even batter an eye. as most dog would b very distrubed by this buster doesnt care.
pits as most ppl know are fighting dogs even i cant blank tht out but as most ppl dont know when the dogs are in the ring fighting they have to remain human friendly as the handlers are always in the ring parting the dogs and shuving bite sticks in there mouth. its totally wrong when a pit bull pup is born it will stay with the mum for 6 weeks thn it will b taken off and trained up as the pup grows it remains with very little human contact it will b fed live bait a baby pig etc and will b made to kill to this aggresive behaviour is incraged through adilecence were the dogs will b pumped with steriods made to run on a tremile everyday and be chained up with a chain so heavy so it builds up there neck musles the dogs will have sharrds of glass ramed down there throat so they know what pain is every day they will b kicked and beaten made to rage till they are trained enough to fight.
both dogs are held at ither end of the ring by handlers then set on one another they bounce off one another teeth bearing and begin ripping one another to shreads the croud cheers as the dogs bloodly fight to the death somtimes the fight lasting sevril hours till one dog dies!
in the end there is only one winner but in this fight both dogs are losers in a world were fait meets all dog to soon when a dog cannot win fight he is used as a bait dog a dog for the bigger dogs to ripp apart in order to grow strong
these ppl who commit dog fighting are sick they are high on drugs and gamble to c which dog wins. these dogs live a life full of mizery and pain yet when there is a pitbull attack we find it in ourselfs to blame the dog when really the dog is so messed up in the head he snaps!
if someone repetedly beat you and locked you away each day u were straved 24 hours before a fight so your skin is tighter and less likely to bleed as much one day you would snap and you would murder someone in your rage.
we shouldnt blame a lower being such as a dog for our mistakes yet each time there is an attack its the dog who is blamed

to be honest, i don't think that dogfighters are the cause of the majority of pit bull maulings and attacks. some, probably, but in my opinion, the vast majority of pit bulls that attack are lawn ornament dogs and/or badly bred pet dogs owned by people who haven't bothered to take the time to work with the dog.

i think it would be less threatening to pet-owners if it were the fighting dogs who were attacking people. they're owned by people who are blatantly disregarding the law and participating in something clearly cruel and horrific. instead, the dogs who getting into trouble are owned by "joe average" and that makes them more threatening and scary. it leads to that "family pit bull snaps and mauls child" headline that we all love.

I agree Elegy. It's the same with any breed of dog. It's your average every day pet owner who does the most damage to the breed simply through their complete ignorance of the breed, general dog care, training and socialisation.
I doubt most people will every actually meet a dog that's been used in dog fighting, no matter how common people say it is.

i disagree. there are too many horribly abused, fought, beaten pit bulls who are rescued and never show the tiniest amount of human aggression to attribute it all to how they are brought up. a large portion of temperament is genetic.

Great posts Elegy, I agree with you completely.

I agree with Elegy. There is only so much training is going to do. Dogs have free will just like us, and if they want to attack or feel the need to attack then they will and no amount of training can guarantee they won't. I can say I would never kill someone, but that is because I have not been in a situation where I might have to.

Trust me not all dog fights are ran by cracked out gangsters. You will find them in some very affluent areas. A lot of the people that train the fighting dogs do it because it is very profitable. There are even vets that attend the fights because they are paid well to care for the dogs.

Dog fighting is not so cut and dry. A new trend is street fighting which puts two dogs against each other for the matter of pride. There is usually no or relatively small amounts of money involved. The fights are impromptu and have little organization. They are over nearly as fast as they start, and are very hard to prevent. The dogs are much less likely to receive care because failure means a shot in the owners pride.

In 99% of the cases I can think of pit bulls mauling people it is because they are not properly contained. These are not dogs used for fighting, but are kept because of the image they portray. The only mauling I can think of that had ties to fighting was actually an episode of Law and Order. Dog fighters do not want their dogs to get loose and draw attention to their operations so they usually do a goood job containing them (not that I am saying it is humane). So many times have I heard that before the mauling neighbors complain that the dog had been loose many times before and this was to be expected. Usually complaints are made to the owner who does nothing.

Sorry about the length.

a still say maybe some of mauling is genetic but we think differnt ere in scotland we put it down to the owners chaining a dog as lot of ppl dog makes them nastey for 1.
every1 has there own oppioion and i respect other ppls but im sticking to mine
