There's real animal abuse going on; dog fighting (regardless of breed), factory farms and furriers, but they seem to think certain animals should be exterminated for the abuse humans 'might' inflict on them. Isn't it the duty of activists to change people's attitudes and save animal's lives?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-49922722762256209702008-06-06T05:43:00.000-07:002008-06-06T05:43:00.000-07:00"I'm all for spay and neuter programs, but, correc...<I>"I'm all for spay and neuter programs, but, correct me if I'm wrong, if this *masterplan* came into effect and (suspend disbelief here) ALL breeding was banned completely, wouldn't dogs become extinct?

They oppose city shelters adopting out pit bulls, think anyone that wants a pit bull is going to fight them or use them for bait (because fighters want to spend $100 on altered pit bulls??) and even think non-bully specific rescues shouldn't try to adopt them out - as they're not "educated" enough (newsflash, pit bulls aren't rocket science). They believe they are the only abused breed and they're better dead than risking abuse. This is right in line with PETA...they've heard it parroted enough they believe it themselves.<BR/><BR/>Well, gotta go - I have to get up early to get to my computer programming job so my husband can get to his volunteer job tutoring at-risk youth and then we can fight our dogs (off from hogging the couch)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-48259109189342459722008-06-02T13:29:00.000-07:002008-06-02T13:29:00.000-07:00I'm a thug and I made my parents thugs too!

I spend my weekends volunteering at my local animal shelter and with my local pit bull rescue. I have 2 dogs, 1 a lab/border collie mix and 1 a pit bull/cattle dog mix. Both my girls are shelter dogs and participate in very thuggish behavior, including going to doggie day care, going on long hikes, playing in the sprinklers, and sleeping on the couch. My parents recently became thugs when they adopted a pit bull who came from the rescue I'm with. They must be bad-to-the-bone thugs since they drove 1,000 miles to come pick him up and take him back to their home state. He enjoys going to work with my mom everyday, sleeping on the couch, and stealing the cat food. Get real Peta...there are great people out there that see pit bulls for the wonderful breed they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-87170904663726154472008-05-31T11:06:00.000-07:002008-05-31T11:06:00.000-07:00Shame on you PETA.

A native Hip-Hopster (o.k. very San Ramon style) had two beautiful rescues. Sometimes even when folks try to put-on-the "THUG" by wearing baggy basketball jersey and adding chain plus spike collars to their APBT, they can't hide the gentle temperment of the dogs and the owners love for them. (I got past the vicious licks get in my hugs and roll on back belly rubs). Maybe that is what 'Give-it-Up' means. Give up the hard act and let your APBT temperment show through "Thugs".<BR/> <BR/>Got a run, Boris ritual hook-up with his Saturday klan to get a soy latte at the Tuscan Sun Coffee shop.

I've been a THUG mom twice and thanks to breed legislation here in my home, Bermuda, I've adopted two THUG cousins, American Bulldog rescues for the time being,who are wonderfully large hugbunnies. With a bit of luck our breed legislation will be overtuned by year's end and we'll be a THUG family again as fast as we can fly to BADRAP and apply for a bully. The last time I looked I was a middle aged, law abiding citizen with 2 kids in college. Obviously Mr. Haines doesn't realize that,"Once you go Pit, You just can't Quit!" There's not another breed lik'em. If owning a bully makes me a THUG, I'd be a proud one!
