Kathy, the Denver shelter kills more “pit bulls” (defined as anything they think looks like one) than all the dogfighters in the state, maybe the country. Many of these dogs are family pets whose owners were unfortunate (or stupid) enough to move to Denver not knowing of their Draconian law. Many have not a drop of pit bull blood, according to people who have seen them

Maybe you could focus on THAT inhumanity.

Sad, but dog fighting is probably everywhere. My friend and I were walking her dog in the park and we say a lady walking an adorable pit bull puppy. The puppy was terrified of my friends dog even though he’s not aggressive and just tried to say hello. The woman expained she had found the puppy looking dead on the side of the road in her neighborhood. It was emaciated, covered in fleas and had bite wounds. Pretty obvious this dog had been used as “bait”. So sad. Luckily he was on his way to recovery because of this woman. I live in Sacramento, CA and I’ve never heard of a dog fighting bust so it must be pretty underground.

Kathy, if you see scarred up dogs, whose are they? That could be a lead!

Sure wish someone would come forward in Colorado—I know we have dog fighting here, I hear little bits and pieces of stuff here and there, see scarred up dogs, dogs get stolen, probably for bait, etc. etc.

I agree with you too about the Beagle, they are such great dogs & are treated so badly. I also wish we all could do something wonderful for the great, great person who turned them in. I guess the person & their family wouldn’t be safe if they gave the name out, shame they deserve to be honored.

I hope they really do try to save the Pit Bulls, a couple look so young. What Held said in the paper didn’t sound so good.

Didn’t we have a poster say a while back that their was no dog fighting in Missouri?

Yes, what about that Beagle. They are one of the most submissive and non agressive breeds there is. That is a big reason that they are chosen by animal lab testors (the creeps). Where is the little beagle going?
