[glow=black,2,3]This was brought to my attention, and I think it's really wrong.
Well, what do you think? Wrong? Or do you like the idea?[/glow]

It should be stopped. I think pit bulls can make wonderful pets - it's just so unfortunate that their anatomy and strengths have been used against them by cruel people just looking for a 'laugh' or guard dog. It's sick.
I saw this video on DA a while ago that nearly made me cry. And I think it's so appropriate for what you've put up here Shunké. Though I advise people not to watch it if they get upset quite easily.
All I can say is...it makes a strong point.

I totally agree with Shunke and Tor. Why should we slaughter the poor dogs wen it is not their fault.
I have seen on TV that these dogs are bred for fighting, trained to kill and battle to the death. Its not their fault that their owners, the ones which should be locked up for ever , should make them fight in these battles. These dogs may have a bad reputation but they are not bad at heart, they canot help it if they are trained, yes maybe the ones which are trained to fight should be humainly uthenised, but they shouldn't be trained in the first place. Why should all of this breed be punished for the crime that humans did. WE SHOULD!
Ok I willstop my rant now but I still think it is really bad.

I agree with Shunke, Tor and Silent!
I've come across this topic quite a few times now and everytime I do, it's really horrible. Most pit bulls are really nice and stuff but it's the people, the beasts, that train them. They make them do it, probably not in a nice way. Poor pit bulls.
I think there's a petition somewhere called Punish the deed, not the breed.

[glow=black,2,3]Aw, Tor, that video is sad! I can't believe people would do that to a dog, it's so inhumane. Only a human, can be inhumane.
Yep, people have it written all over the place, when it comes to this issue. That, and the Rottweiler, which is my favorite dog. They have the same problem, but it's the pit bull who's in desperate need right now.[/glow]

-snarl- I love pit bulls; we get them all the time at my work and they are constantly sweet and friendly. Maybe everyone could take this to their role-playing sites- I've taken it to C.C. already.

OMG, that's so sad. I agree, Pitbulls shouldn't be killed because of human action! That's cruel, I love Pitbulls! They're adorable dogs! I can't beleive people would actually do that. I definately believe that that's wrong, and shouldn't happen. Poor doggs...

i hate to say it, i love dogs too, but its already been passed in many cities up here in Canada. its a By-Law, meaning only municipalities can place the law, not the provincial or federal goverments, so it happens slowly, but yeah, they are putting an end to owning pitt bulls. However, its a gradual effect. those who own Pit bulls may keep them under tight restrictions, such has they must be spayed or neudered ( i cant spell, i never could) and they must be on a leash and/or muzzled when being walked in the public. You can continue to own the dogs until they pass away, how ever i'm pretty sure you can't buy them, breed them, or import them any longer.
yeah, they started this cause there have been many cases where violent behavior has caused the pets to attack and severly injure many people, including and especially children. Many children have been hospitalized with broken bones, stitches and sometimes more severe injuries, some even under the age of 5.
I mean, if its slowly happening up here, then the chances of it travelling down south are, well...
maybe they wont be 'exterminated' but i wouldnt expect to see them much in the future. and i bet its the owners fault of mistreating the dogs. ive seen it more than once.

Okay..some of those pictures just made me cry. And Tor, I've seen that video before and it was horrible... I hope this doesn't pass.... I've never owned a pit or even met one, but I know they can be good dogs and if people would just stop judging...Bah..*Runs off to cry*

This is really horrible. It needs to be stopped. I'm not saying anything different from anyone else, but it seems that it can't be said enough. It's the fault of stupid people is Pit Bulls are what everyone thinks they are. :: Growls :: Would it be okay for me to repost this in the other forum I roleplay at? I think that awareness needs to be raised!

I think this is awful. Pit Bulls are lovely dogs really. My friend owns one, and it's the friendliest dog I know.

WHAT!? Who's brilliant idea was it to exterminate Pit Bulls? Hmph, someone who wants to exterminate Jews and Blacks because of their race and religion. In a way, that's being utterly prejudice. Personally, those pictures you just posted made me near to tears, and Pit Bulls are misunderstood creatures, because they truly are a loving breed, same with the Doberman. They may be trained to be big mean scary attack dogs, but those kept as pets are truly beloved and kind, sensitive creatures. I mean, even a Beagle could turn on its owner, but it isn't their fault! Stupid, stupid people, how can they be so...so dense? And their adorable in a way. Stupid stereotypes.

The thing that really bugs me is that they want to get rid of the breed, regardless of the fact that the dogs didn't atack anybody. It's like killing people because they came from a violent family or something. It really makes me mad that people can be so stupid. No dog is born evil.
Wasn't there some thing a long time ago about German Shepherds or something? I just know that people thought they were a mean breed but I knew the nicest German Shepherd. It's a stereotype! When they're done with pitbulls, what breed will it be next?
Punish the people who are stupid enough to train them to be mean. We have enough dogs of any breed being uthenized because they can't find homes we don't need another reason. Grrrrr....
People automatically assume a breed is mean by the way it looks.
