Children Need Pit Bulls: A Picture Book

[De Leonist]

56. Dear Pit Bull haters....

I generally try not to do kneejerk. But some of the posts on this thread have pissed me off beyond belief.

Seriously go volunteer at a shelter and ask the fulltime staff just how "bad" pit bulls are. I mean fuck have any you even met a pit bull ?

Are pit bulls high energy dogs ? Yes Are they very strong dogs ? Yes With these two facts you can see why some grade triple A assholes will use them for fighting.

Yet you can take an animal who through human abuse has become this



and with love and understanding that same dog can become this



These dogs are incredibly strong hearted. Most of the dogs right now that are being used to satisfy some sick bastard's sadistic urges
could be rehabilitated and become incredibly loving and gentle companions for wonderful families and owners.

That any of you would rather see them put down instead of for once in their so far cruel lives know the joy of a loving owner or family grieves and angers me past the point of words.

Just one final word on dogs in general.The Dog is quite literally the first animal that humankind has ever domesticated. However it may have happened these loving and loyal creatures have been with us long before humankind ever built anything even resembling civilization. They hunted, slept, and journeyed alongside our ancestors. They watched our backs, protected our food stores, kept a watchful eye on our children as they played ready to spring to their defense if any animal should seek to predate them. They warmed us on colds nights when our ancestors huddled together close to the fire. Even than in the depths of our stone age past when things became harsh and our clan and kin would die from disease or starvation these animals would offer us their love and do what they could to ease our grief.( Anyone who has had a pit bull or has had a lot of contact with pit bulls knows that this is doubly true with them. That breed knows a strength of heart that I doubt you'd see in most humans) These animals are our best friends. If we had any real inkling of their love and willingness to sacrifice themselves for us we would not treat them this way.
