The couple allegedly led the white and gray pit bull to a wooded area before tying him to a tree and taking his life

It was a pit bull? Never mind then.

According to Borchardt, pit bulls are inherently dangerous. "They're all descendants of these original pit fighting, bull-baiting dogs. That's what these dogs do, and that's why they kill, maim, and maul more humans than any other breed combined," said Borchardt.

I’m torn. I’m for eliminating pit bulls on GP, but it takes a special kind of a-hole to kill a dog and enjoy doing it. Pit bulls are just doing what’s in their nature, these creeps did it by choice.

Poor dog - apparently he was one of the friendly, smaller pit bulls. He was abandoned and spent a lot of time at a shelter. the people who knew him there have posted on FB. They say he was always friendly and sweet natured. His name there was Huey.

One aspect of his fighting dog background was evident. He faced his terrible death bravely.

I had a niece killed by a “sweet, never hurt a fly, yada yada yada” pit bulls. I tend to put down the strays I see because they’re just dangerous. However, they killed it for fun and filled it for pleasure. I can see killing pit bulls, but not debasing them and shooting them to pieces with a rifle for entertainment. That’s horrible and they should go away for a very long time.

“It was a pit bull? Never mind then.”

It was one of God’s creatures. Pit Bulls have fighting tendencies, but they only become dangerous without proper ownership. They can be affectionate, loyal and gentle.

These scumbags deserve heavy jail terms and I hope they live with guilt for the rest of their lives. Cruelty of this natuare cannot be excused because of the breed.
