I found a decent site today, just randomly searching. I was gonna post a small article about Dakota, the SAR pit bull who was hired by NASA, but I figured this deserved a mention. It's from pitbulllovers.com. Someone wrote an article on a book, Fatal Dog Attacks, and at first, I thought they were going to be another typical pit bull bigot, with the whole 'ban 'em all' attitude, but no, she actually had some good ideas, and some pretty good insight on why we see such aggressive pit bull attacks all the time. She also mentioned some things about regulating breeding, which I am TOTALLY in agreement with. If you wanna breed your fugly, non-registered, un-titled, won't-do-a-damn-thing-but-fuck-she's-a-puurrty-color so-called pit bull, you should be FINED, not to mention you should probably be sterilized. We've got the same problem with horses as we do dogs. Too many god-damned backyard breeders and puppy mills. If you've got a registered, good-looking, well-mannered, even temperamented dog with a great show record both in the ring and on the field, and you wanna breed, by all means. But for the love of god, don't pump out 20+ puppies a year! Especially don't charge 2000-something bucks per dog, because NO-ONE will buy them, and you'll be stuck with a bunch of dogs you can't afford to take care of. I think there should be regulations on breeding, for any animal, not just dogs and horses. If we cut out byb and puppy mills, we could empty animal shelters within a matter of years. It's as simple as that. There is no need for a zillion puppies a year that no one will buy, who won't do anything, and will most likely end up in a shelter. But anyway, here's a link to the page, pit bull attacks, so have fun. Don't forget, you can use any post anywhere you want, just be sure to mention which blog they came from when you use them.
