"I wish those vicious creatures could be banned." ***WARNING: GRAPHIC***

[ErikJ]

107. Human breeders can be such cruel sick fucks.

I have no objections to banning the breeding of pit bulls OR their cousins the English Bulldog.

Read this letter by a vet about his critique of the the suffering human breeders breed into the English Bull dog! Such cruelty should be not only banned but punished. Likewise the pit bull was bred to fight other pit bulls which is their raison d'être which is even sicker if you ask me.

Dr Gerry Retief, BVSc, MRCVS, in another thread on this forum, wrote a stinging critique of the modern English Bulldog their and breeders thus (editing and emphasis mine):

“Unfortunately nowadays from a veterinary point of view the English Bulldog in South Africa is a walking disaster. If nothing is done about the way these dogs are being bred in South Africa, this loveable breed is doomed.”

“For the past 100 years the bulldog has been bred with shorter and shorter deformed legs, a deformed spine, the scull has become so flattened and deformed that the top dogs can hardly breathe.”

“As a veterinarian I often have to do plastic surgery to treat problems associated with screw tails and excessive skin folds on the nose and face. To breed the "modern" show dog is a challenge. Because the male is so deformed with it's broad chest, short deformed legs and struggle to breathe most breeders nowadays have to resort to artificial insemination to produce a litter.”

“Because of the hugely exaggerated broadness of the heads, pups are seldom born "naturally" so a caesarian section has to be done to get them out. The dams are so clumsy that the pups often have to be removed from them and fed by hand to prevent the dam from smothering her pups.”

“The British Kennel Club has recognised this problem and has promulgated new standards for breeders in the UK to start addressing these problems. Unfortunately, in their wisdom, the Kennel Union of Southern Africa decided to reject this new standard for the next three years. After that, I presume it will be possible to extend this moratorium on the new standard.”

“Having bred these dogs many years ago and given up in disgust because of the problems mentioned above, I feel sad that this ancient breed is being bred to extinction.”
