Do you "preach" to those people on the horrors of fighting Pit Bulls as passionately as you preach against Pit Bulls in general to me?

No, I generally do not go around preaching to people. I'm not the prostelysing type. I do, however, discuss issues on FreeRepublic, which I consider to be an appropriate forum for such matters.

I would sure hope that some of your energy is put towards speaking to those disgusting excuses for human beings that fight Pits instead of wasting time trying to convince good people that the breed is Satan's spawn.

Actually, if I had to choose a dog to label as Satan's Spawn, it would be my daughter's Jack Russell Terrier.

LOL! I guess we can agree on that as well.

Ok, on a calmer level, you have no idea the horrors of dog fighting and Pit Bull abuse. I have posted a link earlier on this thread to "SadReality." Please read it and look into those dog's eyes, and I'm almost positive that next time you hear someone talking about fighting dogs, you might just be prompted to say something in these dog's defense.

I went to the Animal Care place here in Sac and found a Pit Bull, half starving to death, shivering, with gashes and gouges all over his face and body. The poor dog was beaten half to death because he wouldn't fight. In his kennel, he was letting the roommate (Rottie) bark at him and try to mount him. These dogs are very friendly, personable dogs who absolutely LOVE people and live to please. They do not deserve the abuse they receive and they certainly do not deserve for people to berate them and attack them as the problem. The people who harm these animals should be put down. The dogs are a product of their environment, there is only so much one can take before they "snap." What is truly amazing to me is the recovery that some of these magnificent animals make. Their courage and strength help even the worst cases pull through.... Then there are the ones that are too far gone. I am ashamed to know that there are people in the world that can commit these horrible crimes of humanity to these poor, defenseless animals. The scary part is that the same people who turn these dogs into monsters, probably have kids that they are turning into monsters as well. We as a people really need to evaluate productive ways to solve these issues. The issues being the people behind the abuse as apposed to the victims (the dogs).
