Now here we go...
Ok so not many people focused on the entire post that i wrote. so let me re-itterate some importnat parts that it seems EVERYONE decided not to read. Like the end where i sad "cruelty and neglect to dogs deserve the same as a punishment to the owner." yes.. .that means if you beat and starve you dog you as the owner should be beaten and starved. I do not agree with "dogfighting" that is portrayed by society where dogs more often than not get killed in the fight or afterwards if it lost. REAL dogfights not the ghetto fights that dee-de and jerome have in their basement. They have rules and points, and the owners care about their dogs where they wont let their dogs get severly hurt or killed. Telling a pitt not to fight is like telling a retriever not to retrieve, if its a well trained dog it will listen but it will still WANT to. The only reason i know all this is bc. one of my old roomates was in a REAL dog fighting circut, i felt the same way as many of you. But it wasnt until i saw it for myself that i understood. The owners train their dogs like athletes (the kind of fighting im talking about is more like boxing or UFC witht he way its run) So if any of you have actually seen a REAL dog fight (which i guess none of you have, bc. you would feel the same way as me) you have NO room to speak. Now as far as the personal attacks go, you guys think what you want i couldnt care less, but dont put words in my mouth takes away from what little rebuttle the bunch of you came up with. i never said it was "beautiful" and if your too narrow minded to read EVERYTHING i wrote in the orig. post than perhaps you are the "brainwashed moron" bc. all you know is what you hear from the media, and nothin you experienced for yourself. I really posted that to get some convo going to pass time until the draft. I have a pitt and it will start fight bc. to him its fun, but what do i do when he does? discipline him so he wont do it anymore, but its in nature so he will always try. In closing 90% of dogfighting is cruel and malicious. the other 10% is a sport... Ill try to check back a little sooner this time so i can respond accordingly

Please don't try to justify or clarify your original post. You are dead wrong and your logic sucks. 100% of dogfighting is cruel. Pitts have been bred as aggressive animals, thats true, but a good owner will train and raise his dog in an environment where it will only attack if provoked or in defense of itself or its master. I have a pure-breed Siberian Husky, his breeding makes him a hard worker and he's also part wolf so he will attack (hunt) smaller animals. That doesn't mean I have him pull my lawn mower around the yard or send him afer the neighbor's cat. That's what separates us from animals. Based on your posts I really, for the sake of your dog, hope and pray that you aren't fighting him or planning to fight him. Dogfighting is illegal in all 50 states and a FELONY almost all for a reason, IT IS CRUEL AND INHUMANE. I guess "severly hurt" is a subjective term, would you consider these dogs "severly hurt":

n his brain (Brown, 1982, p. 66).
"Of all the creatures, man is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot."--Mark Twain
Would it be OK if I inflicted the same kind of damage on you as these dogs have suffered? Please let us know if you plan on fighting your dog, so I can make sure to alert the proper authorities and hopefully you get arrested, convicted and you can find out about cruelty first hand in jail.
