FIGHTING DOGS OR PETS?
HERE AS OF RIGHT NOW I WILL POST FOR JUST SOME TIME THIS ARTICLE FROM A NEWSPAPER!
Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you've heard about the dog fighting ring that was recently broken up. I haven't heard or read anything specifically as to what's going to happen to these dogs but the code words are there:
"These dogs were bred specifically to fight," [Harris County prosecutor Belinda] Smith said. "And they were inbred back and forth. They are not pets."
Now, I can't begrudge them for putting these dogs down- there are way too many homeless dogs in this city that we will never find homes for all of them. That means huge numbers of dogs will have to be put down and since I don't have the responsibility for the limited money or resources, I can't really complain.
What bothers me about this statement and others that I've read is that it shows a fundamental prejudice based ignorance of breeding and training and that worries me when it's coming from people who are going to decide the fates of 187 dogs.
As many of the Vick dogs have shown, a dog is a dog. Only one needed to be euthanized for aggression toward people. Proper care and training go a long way toward making a dog a pet.
My grand-dog Violet was also a fighting dog. If you've been to Saturday classes here at Pup Scouts, you've seen how wonderful she is. She's our number one demo dog, she will show off all of her tricks for anyone and she's just so full of love, even people who have told me they hate Pitties have fallen in love with her. She loves to play with other dogs and lets the pet rats run all over her. She's also a great foster momma for the puppies that my daughter cares for.
Inbreeding is a red herring. Yes, there are issues that come from inbreeding but you see those issues in almost all purebred dogs. Just about anyone selling at Trader's Village is selling inbred dogs and any registry makes sure that there is a closed gene pool.
So, Belinda, put the dogs down if you feel you have to but please be honest about it. Let us know that you don't have the time, money, personnel, health care, resources or available homes. We're adults- we can understand that and maybe we can help. If not, you're forgiven.
But don't perpetuate the myth that the dog trained to fight is unadoptable. That only increases the public's perception that somehow Pits are vicious beasts unworthy of love and life. That I can't forgive.
