The lowest form of life who flagrantly abuse and show cruelty to animals are on the same level as pedophiles, child killers, child pornographers, and terrorists, and shouldn’t be allowed to breathe our air - there is nothing that would bring me more absolute pleasure than to line each and every one of them up, and with absolute searing malice, put a bullet into their heads..
My prayers to God Almighty for the freedoms and liberties I have as an American, and for my 1st Amendment privilege to freely write these words, expressing how I deeply feel….
I have a 19 month old pit bull and he is the sweetest dog in the world. He wouldn’t ever hurt anyone. He protects his family and his baby sister, a 15 month old beagle. He loves his little sis and has never hurt her in anyway. Pit bulls are great dogs and it’s a great sham that people feel the need to use them for their own sick twisted fun. There is no reason why any dog should live that kind of life!
It’s important for stories like this to be reported because education is the means to ending bad behavior. Some people lack basic civil, humanitarian skills and need to be led by the mass mentality. If so, educate the masses to express displeasure at such atrocities.
I rescued a “bait” pitbull a few years ago. He has torn ears, scars all over his body and his teeth were completely filed down so he couldn’t fight back. He is now a spoiled, loving family member. I think that anyone who participates in this act, which is not a sport, should be prosecuted to the fullest. This is a felonious act, and should be treated as such.
My roommate has an all white pitbull that I have grown to absolutely love. He is the most kind, smart, loyal, sensitive creature despite his size. He is kind to other animals much smaller than he is. Its all about raising them right. Pitbulls have been given a bad name because of bad owners.
I agree 100% that owning/fighting dogs is a sign of their “manhood”… What the idiots don’t realize is they aren’t showing how much a man they are… They are showing the exact opposite. What true man deliberately causes hurt to smaller beings… whether human or animal. Animals will fight, to protect their territory, their pack, for food, for survival.
To deliberately twist a dogs nature just to get your jollies out of watching them kill each other is sick! And the people who knowingly participate in it have no respect for life… Hearing how they “love” their fighting dog, but will kill it, makes it even worse.
Maybe one of these “people” who participate in dog fighting should be put in a ring/cage with a pitt bull trained to fight and see how they like it… maybe use that as punishment for those who invole themselves in dog fighting, viedo tape it & let people in this country see it and I bet then there would be no more dog fighting.

The fact is only sick brain dead subhumans would enjoy watching dogs or any animal for that matter fight to the death in an arena..A symbol of manhood??? Their “manhood” should be basted in blood and have that pitbull chew it off is more like it!! They say that humans are the most advanced forms of life, but anyone who participates in s**t like this needs to be exterminated themselves…And as far as bullfighting is concerned, I love it when the bull stomps the spectators, thats the least they deserve!!!!!
There is a difference between watching boxing and football, and watching a dog fight. The dogs do not have a choice. I would rather watch 2 people beat the heck out of themselves because I know they chose to be there. Why should people decide what a pit bull gets to do???
Also, don’t forget that they often use weaker dogs or mixed breed puppies from the pound for “bait.” Could you imagine how scared those puppies must be while they are being attacked, only to be killed or left for deaad?
What ever the stupid bitches name is that said we should legalize dog fighting, she should be put in a ring with an angry abused animal herself. What an ignorant comment, why would we ever allow this so called sport to be ok??? People who condone this sport should be penalized and serve time in jail. Its terrible to watch an animal die this way so someone can make money?? Get a real f**king job and pay taxes like the rest of us, you losers
This is not about pit bulls. It is about human beings so cruel that they can derive pleasure from watching animals tear each other apart. These people will eventually hurt another human. Animal abuse always leads to human abuse.
**Miami Dade-County has banned pit bulls, even as pets, but some experts say banning a breed just feeds the “outlaw” mentality.
“If pit bulls are outlawed, then only ‘outlaws’ have pit bulls,” said Dr. Randy Lockwood, an anti-cruelty expert with the Society for the Protection against Cruelty to Animals.**
Gee, That idea that the OUTLAWS will continue to have ‘bad dogs’ and common citizens have had their loving pets banned from Miami-Dade county thought kinda highlights the futility and insanity of Breed Specific Laws (BSL).
Any JOCK or wannabe OUTLAW that considers the crime of fighting dogs as something to be upheld or supported should be ‘fixed’, if only to save future generations from the spread of such defective genes.
Too bad that its not legal to immediately exterminate those that demand “Do you fight that Pit(bull)?”
I have 4 rescued dogs. My rednosed pit is my pride and joy, not to mention that Flash is the archtypical bedbug. Flash is loved by those that hated and feared American Pit Bulls Terriers before meeting him.
Oh,just legalize dog
fighting and be done
with it. Every single evil ascribed
to dog fighting, whether harmful to the dogs or their owners and families or the general public would be eliminated or could
be regulated were the sport made legal.
Like Prohibition.
But we don’t want to
hear about that in
connection with other banned activities, because
think how many lawyers, cops, and
correction officers
would lose their jobs if just illegal
drugs alone were to become as legal as
alcohol and nicotine.
It’s much more politically correct
to fret over dog fighting, instead of
paying attention to
bad dog law. The
fight we need to fight is in state
houses and city halls.

Dogfighting is crime. But why are the Legistrative people, L. Bullard and Dennis Moss allowing pitbull in their own districts while going after breeding of AKC registered dog owners. I personally see pitbulls in their district all the time. Infact, in front of Dennis Moss’s Office in Florida City. Shouldn’t they be cleaning up in their own back yards before going after professional dog breeders. Going after the pet stores that import 40 to 60 puppies coming in from South America Puppy Mills. These dogs are not even AKC registrated. They come into the USA with no food or water after a 12 hour or better flight. Sick, coughing and s**t every where.
Everyone wants a cheap dog when they buy it, but do not realize that it will cost them in the long run because the puppy millers do not health test or breed pure bred dogs.
If L. Bullard and D. Moss want to stop puppy millers, go after the right people. Not the people who have worked for 20 or 30 years breeding healthly, pure bred dogs.
Maybe there is are other issues that are not so black and white.

It isn’t true that pit bulls are the most popular breed in the country. There are a lot of them, but not nearly as many as labradors, for example. Pit bulls show up in shelters becauase a way higher percentage of pit bull owners/breeders are irresponsible than the owners/breeders of labradors.
Breed specific legislation regulating the breeding of pit bulls is necessary both to protect society and to protect pit bulls from the people who supposedly “love” them.
While I can’t argue whether or not dogfighting is on the rise. I am sure most pitbulls in shelters are not used for fighting, they are simply the most popular breed of dog in the county. They don’t show up on the “popular” lists because the AKC registry doesn’t recognize them.
