“For the owners, having the most vicious dog can bring financial rewards, as well as status. The most savage animals become prized studs or bitches for backstreet breeders who sell the illegal offspring – genetically programmed to attack – for up to £500 each. Such is the demand for pit bulls that many are being born in battery-farm conditions, in cages stacked on top of each other in tiny flats. “
I have a “pit bull”. He is an american staffordshire terrier. He was a rescue pup. I have had several different breed dogs and mixed breeds and I can say that he is the sweetest, smartest dog I have ever had. When we adopted him I did not know he was a bulldog. But as he grew I began to realize he was. I talked to my vet about him because I have kids and I was nervous to have him at first. The vet assured me that there was nothing wrong with the breed, it was owners that were the problem. He has always been so gentle with all of us, and other animals.It angers me for people to want to banish an entire breed because of sick, twisted people who raise them.
