Merry Christmas to all Pit Bulls chained up in yards, or in shelters, awaiting death

With the explosion of Pit Bull breeders, thousands of Pit Bulls are ending up in shelters across the country, topping the list as the most euthanized pet.



Diesel or Bingo or the young one named Percy
deserve to be loved but are shown no mercy
While families celebrate holiday cheer,
I know in my heart that my end is near
The vet will arrive, the lights will go on,
by the time you awake, we will all be gone
A stranger will come and take me away,
I'll never wake to see another day.
As I close my eyes I'll shed you a tear,
the fondest of memories I'll always keep near
The only thing I ever asked of Santa Claus,
is to stop all those unfair and ridiculous laws
You said without me, your life was not full,
so why does it matter that I'm a "pit bull"?
In my dreams Santa shouts when he's finished his deed,
"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL...REGARDLESS OF BREED"!

Me too!

And, I did just that, adopted a very sick black kitten from the local kill shelter.

She is 3-1/2 years old now and she is just fine today.

No regrets ever by adopting from a shelter, none!!!

Merry Xmas to you btw!

There is a downside to having pit bulls though. No matter how large your bed is, you will be on the edge about to fall off. They really need to cuddle! If I move over (because she is so heavy)...she moves over...this keeps iterating until I'm almost off the bed!

"because that's what boltcutters were made for, anyway"

I've never met a chain that wasn't like butter.
