The pit bull threads are back [View all]

I thought this place wised up and moved on from them.

Here is what I know "Pit bull" is an umbrella term used by the media to refer to molosser breeds. Last I checked more more people die from horses than dogs. Also cats are often targets of little sociopaths.

Here is a story of when police used dogs undercover to infiltrate a dog fighting ring to show what these dogs are really like and the sad life they have to endure when they are owned by bad people.

The breed with "Pit bull" are American Pit Bull Terriors which the females can be small around 30 lbs or so. I had 2 Gordon Setters that were much bigger.

Anyways, just wondering how this board feels from an animal rights perspective?
