How a Pit Bull Can Change the World: The Incredible Legacy of Ray the Vicktory Dog
huffingtonpost.com ^ | May 22, 2016 | Arin Greenwood

Posted on 08/09/2018 2:44:03 PM PDT by kanawa

"Ray was one of the former Michael Vick dogs — a Vicktory dog, as this troupe is known.

And like so many of the dogs rescued out of the horrific Bad Newz Kennels in 2007, Ray went from the worst kind of cruelty to the sort of bliss only known to spoiled dogs who get to sleep in their indulgent humans’ beds.

Ray died last weekend, after surgery to have his spleen removed."...

I feed Diamond natural. No fleas or skin problems here. I do believe mental health is also tied somehow to quality of food. There is something to that.

You’re just here to bloviate your need to control how others live

Norski has a thread just waiting on you replete with a warm wet towel

People here who like pitbulls and other breeds the discerning fear also have a right to hang out minus you

So bye again

I hear Chet squealing somewhere

The question does not need to be answered, because it does flush out of their system. If they show up to work with alcohol in their system, or they have an accident with alcohol in their system, they are fired, prosecuted, and hopefully jail. Pot is entirely different. It is still illegal federally. No company in their right mind would hire a pot user and put them in a situation that could hurt or injure someone. A pot user lying about it, hopefully will be caught with the drug test.

The State is the people...obviously the citizens in that area have a right to zoning laws. I don’t want my neighbor to raise pigs.

Please add me to your ping list. My daughter and her husband rescued 3 Pitts. On my last visit, my daughter nearly died laughing because her 3 fur babies attacked me with kisses such that I was pinned down and couldn’t get up. LOVE THOSE DOGS!!!!

I looks like the ordinary harness I used when walking my dogs-especially my Siberian Husky-like any dog, big strong dogs can try to take off after a squirrel or rabbit-or a neighbor’s wandering cat-on one of the trails in the woods-that harness helps to bring them back to heel with less effort-never walked any of my doggies without a harness...

The pitbull lovers always post on the other threads. As is their right.

You sound like a snowflake who can't stand a debate. It figures the pitbull loving article How a Pit Bull Can Change the World: The Incredible Legacy of Ray the Vicktory Dog is from the leftist Huffington Post.

Agree.

How about the facts breed by breed. I don’t want to hear how many sweet pit bulls there are after another innocent person is horribly maimed or killed by one.

A lot of other dog owners fail to train their dogs..but I don’t hear time after time other bad dogs killing people.

There are some that are still live. I probably should have made those ones live in my posting. Here are the ones that are still live if you'd like to check them out...

written extensively about her work educating the public about pit bulls, and dogs rescued out of fighting

Monday, September 23, 2013

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

just one of the dogs was euthanized for aggression.

in a law review article about the process.

Animal Rescue Corps

BAD RAP

ASPCA

There are quite a few of them still live past the ones I have linked above.

It's mostly just the links that were specific to that domain that are broken.

Let’s see how you feel once that dog maims or kills someone.

About as likely as your wife cutting your testicles off. How will YOU feel about that?

Hmmm, so there’s daily non-stop pit bull attack threads?

Maybe that’s because there’s non-stop daily pit bull attacks on people?

Can you see a pattern here?

Right.

Pit bulls are the most wonderful of dogs, except those that attack. Cannot they be more highly bred to keep their fantastically wonderful qualities, but not the attack mode some have? If anyone has ever had a great pit or pit cross, they know that these dogs are incredibly special.

Your dogs ARE my business if you don’t live in a rural area WITH ACERAGE!

I live in the city, sort of suburbs, and when I walk my dog. We don’t have coyote or bears that I need a pit bull to protect me from. I don’t live in the hood either.

No one is telling you what to do. I’m Not a statist for wanting reasonable zoning laws.
Just because I want SOME community agreed laws does not mean I’m for total govt control.

Btw, there are many laws that keep my taxes down...like seat belt laws so I don’t have to pay taxes for someone thrown from a car ending up in a nursing home at age 25.

News flash.
We don’t live in a society anymore where you decide to “ feel free” doing whatever you want and no one but you picks up the tab.
