Why I Do What I Do

I just wanted to take a minute and write a little bit to all of those who have asked me why it is I do what I do and what is my thing with Pit Bulls and this BSL. For me it is about the dogs but in my opinion this country needs to wake up to the fact that our rights are being taken from us right under our nose.


I mean really knowing a government agency went door to door euthanizing pets what’s next our children, some may snicker to me saying that and say yeah like that will ever happen. 20 years ago had someone said they would go door to door euthanizing dogs you would have laughed then too, but it happened.


This is a reporting from 2005: DENVER -- Since reinstating its pit bull ban in May Denver has impounded more than 380 pit bulls and is euthanizing them at an average rate of more than three a day. Full Article To some of you that will read this, The Denver Breed ban issue is an old one but, for the rest of you I truly hope you are shocked by learning this. Breed Bans defy so much of the constitution it’s a joke, and its wrong. People move to this country because of our "freedom". Hearing that the government knocked on the door and took a dog from a home and killed it for simply being the wrong breed, come on that is something you read happened in a communist country not here in the "Land Of The Free".


Register this; A government agency enforced going door-to-door killing family pets, some of which may have never even left their own yard. The worst part about this mass killing is the dogs did not even have to be American Pit Bulls, many were killed simply because they looked like one.Everything factual about the breed contradicts everything that supports breed bans. The are not typically aggressive toward humans in fact it is said over and over Pit Bulls do not make good guard dogs because they are too human friendly. Can they be taught to be gaurd dogs? Yes but so can a Poodle. The truth is even "Dog Fighters" have been breeding human agression out of Pit Bulls for years.


They say they cannot be rehabilitated bullshit how many of Vicks dogs have been sucessfully placed into homes, deny that fact with your myths.


Study after study has shown when it comes to intelligence and obedience in a K-9 Pit Bulls score among the highest, most of the time scoring just under the Golden Retriever. I cant wait until the predictibility of a Golden retriever is questioned.


For those of you that still think of BSL as that Pit Bull ban currently there are over 75 breeds that are considered "Dangerous Breeds" and are banned or restricted in different areas across the United States.


To free any breed we have to over come peoples fear. We tend to fear things that we do not understand, many people do not understand the love of these animals, when you have things like websites that promote dog fighting and a malicious media who is dead set on reporting only the negative you instill even more fear, it’s really not that hard to figure out.


I do not think there is a day that goes by that I do not see someone posting something asking for help because a Breed Ban may soon affect him or her. People we should not have to fight for the right to have a dog, I mean come on.


So what do we do? We have to stop talking about making a difference, we have to stop saying we are fighting BSL, and actually do something. We unite with groups such as the ASPCA. This is a huge Animal rights organization that has publicly said they do not support Breed Bans of any kind. I encourage everyone to check out their site and join. Aspca


Everyone of us can post bulletins, blogs, and talk all we want about the injustice of breed bans, but the truth is money is power and a lot of us to not have the means to fight city hall, and unless our voice is loud enough it will not be heard.When it comes to animals right now Peta is probably one of the loudest voices out there, and where have they been while 75 breeds have been getting banned, they were to busy spending nearly 10,000 dollars on a freezer for all of the animals they kill. Truth About Peta


Which is not surprising seeing how they stand on Pit Bulls.


"Those who argue against the euthanasia policy for pit bull dogs are naive.I have scars on my leg and arm from my own encounter with a pit. Many are loving and will kiss on sight, but many are unpredictable.People who genuinely care about dogs won’t be affected by a ban on pits. They can go to the shelter and save one of the countless other breeds and lovable mutts sitting on death row through no fault of their own. We can only stop killing pits if we stop creating new ones. Legislators, please take note."


Yet Peta will go to the extremes and send out a commercial dressing a man in a KKK outfit claiming the AKC is discriminatory.Peta Video
Ingrid Newkirk, is nothing more than a money grubbing extremist that will do anything to put herself and her slaughter house in the spotlight, all of which is motivated by the pursuit of personal wealth, and guess what it has been tax free because of their non profit status. Which hopefully is about to change, on 01/15/08 WASHINGTON, DC- the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom formally petitioned Virginia’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), requesting that the government agency officially reclassify People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) as a slaughterhouse. Peta’s Slaughter House. When there was a chance to suck up some spotlight during the Michael Vick trials you better believe Peta was front and center.

Ok this is where I have to take a breath, and try and get back on topic. As I grow in the Pit Bull community I have learned a lot of things that I did not know, I have been blessed by meeting some of the best people I have ever met. I have found that for the most part the responsible owners of this breed seem to share the same loyalty and compassion as the breed itself. They are good people, and they are good dogs, if you want to take a dog away from some slug dirt bag, go rite ahead I could care less, in fact I would encourage it, but its wrong to take something away from someone that has not done anything wrong. Labels are meant for products not living things.




We live in a society that for the most part rather look at the "image" and not take the time to look at the facts. You have someone like Ingrid Newkirk that has made millions claiming she is all for the animals yet Peta has a 97.4% kill rate, but the media makes her look good. Does anyone even know the attack rate of all of the dogs that have been banned or killed? Yet the media makes them look bad so there for they must be. Innocent people and innocent dogs should not have to move to another city, town or state just because the majority of the public would rather listen to the negative media and myths and not take the time to learn the facts, and its wrong.


I do what I do because I belive it is the right thing to do.
