It's sad that often pit bulls have to be euthanized due to abusive owners.
I absolutely hate that. I have never owned a pit bull but my dog is aggressive and I try to give her the best life possible.
Yeah, they are often used as fighting dogs in underground rings. They don't get any love and only know how to hurt.
That makes me so sad. I don't understand how people can be that way.
Dog fighting in the United States
Dog fighting in the United States is an activity in which fights between two game dogs are staged as a form of entertainment and gambling. Such activity has existed since the early 19th century in the United States and was gradually prohibited in all states. It continues as an underground activity in both rural and urban locations.
In the late 20th century, police and animal control law enforcement task forces of primarily local and state authorities were formed in many parts of the country to combat dog fighting
The pit bull has a long history in America. In the early 1900s the U.S. proudly used pit bulls on WWI posters to symbolize qualities that make up America - friendly, courageous, hard working and worthy of respect. I chose my name because I admire the breed for the same reasons. When I hear about pit bulls being used in dog fighting, it makes me angry. I have a choice to step into the cage to fight, but these dogs have no choice. Dog fighting is morally wrong and inhumane.
