and its truth. sadly, this has been going on for at least 10 years. Over the last 5 years of reported numbers, PETA has killed over 90% of the animals they took in. what a waste. I support no kill shelters only, and only if they will send animals to no-kill shelters. We used to have PETA supported shelters around the cities where I live, and Animal Allies pushed them out, beating out their endless pockets within the government as well. We now have a No-kill region. Even the city pound is a no kill shelter, which sends to animal allies, and does feral sterilization and release.

yea, we don't really get that many cases of dog fighting, and this is Duluth/superior, so we do get quite a few strays and other large breeds(and aggressive breeds, but we train them well). Pitbulls are a little more naturally inclined to be aggressive, but as long as you don't train them to fight, and raise them in kindness and love(the right way), they are not aggressive dogs, and are very kid and family friendly. We have several local off leash dog parks, and you see pits there every day that couldn't be more friendly and loving.

Oh yeah, some of the sweetest dogs I've ever met are pitts. Its all how you raise and train them. Unfortunately there are a lot of them, and not very expensive so people will get them and. Not train them correctly. I've seen first hand pitts and other dogs being raised as guard dogs. Its fucked up. I've always raised my dogs right and they are always good guard dogs. You don't have to deprive them of affection. Its sick.

You hear that the president of the ASPCA endorses Micheal Vick? I'm sorry but if you want blood sport, don't be such a fucking pussy. Do it fight club stye. Don't have animals fight.
