Re: This is sick, this is disgusting, this needs to STOP

I can never EVER stand behind ANY kind of breed specific legislation. If an individual dog is aggressive then yes, something should be done. BUT to discriminate against an entire breed, including dogs that are in no way aggressive? That is just plain WRONG.

What is even more upsetting is animal control officers are taking animals they *BELIEVE* to be pit bulls. No proof, just their *OPINION*. MANY dogs can look like pitbulls, but not actually be pitbulls. Many labrador mixes look like pitbulls. Just disgusting.

Hopefully they get this straightened out. It seems that their AC is on a power trip. They are going to wish they had not started this. Best Friends has become involved. With their money and influence I'll bet the dogs are saved. I feel so bad for the ones that haven't been sent to other towns.

Interesting thing I found:

Pet Pitbull - Find the Pit Bull

And that's where all these "pit bull" attack statistics come from.

Re: This is sick, this is disgusting, this needs to STOP

I would shoot anyone that came to my house and tried to take my dogs...

I hate people and this is more of a reason to. I can't believe they are trying that.... Hope they all get what they deserve. I shared the post via facebook.. spread the word and help out some truly amazing dogs.

My pit is my baby, he is animal, people and child friendly. I just treat him well and i feel like he returns the favor.

Re: This is sick, this is disgusting, this needs to STOP

Everytime I hear someone condem pitbulls I always remind them about Petey

I KNOW he is an american bull dog but Petey to me is the bull dog ambasidor. Very sad. We have a ban here on a few similar breeds.

You never watched the Little Rascals. Great show from black and white tv days.


Petey is the dog.

Nope.. didn't really watch any TV until I was living on my own. I am clueless on a lot of popular kids shows from when I was growing up.

Kat that show was way way before your time even before my time! It started in the early 20s and was called "Our Gang" Great show I watched all the reruns growing up.

Re: This is sick, this is disgusting, this needs to STOP

Like large constrictors pits have an image problem. I don't call myself a dog person but I have always had a dog, mostly muts or hounds. My introduction to pits, like a lot of other folks, was negative. My first impression was a fighting, gangsta, giant chain link leash wearing menace. This was intentional branding for the promotion of a infantile lifestyle. I think its sad and unfair to the dogs, they cannot speak for themselves and had no control over what was done to them, but I am not surprised at all that folks are scared of them. Go after the fight trainers and the folks that put them in videos, get mad at the people that present them as menacing for perpetuating the negative image.
