RIP Dogs

I won't write out a long story. 127 adult dogs and puppies were put to sleep yesterday.

You can read about it on BadRap's blog. Really, pull up any APBT forum and you can read about what happened to the dogs that were confiscated in the Wildside Kennel Bust. There are also some interesting posts on this blog or this blog.

At this point, the HSUS, " Representatives of the Humane Society told the judge that the dogs should be destroyed, because they had been bred for generations to be aggressive,"and Peta are on the same page in my black book.

Did we learn nothing from the Vick case; from the Vick dogs? Why not try and evaluate them first? Why label all as dangerous without an evaluation? Sure I know the questions running thru your minds. They are probably the same questions many had when Vick was busted. Where are we going to put 157 dogs? Why these dogs when millions are dying in shelters? Who is going to pay for all this during a recession? etc.

I just don't like the ongoing label being put onto the dogs, and the assumptions being made about them. Sure, this guy who owned the yard was guilty as sin. But did the dogs ask to be put into that yard? Just because a dog is "game" doesn't mean it is HA. Most game dogs do not have once ounce of HA. Do you - Wayne, John and fellow haters, know anything concerning the history of the breed??? Wait, you and Peta both wanted the Vick dogs euthanized too. Guess I should not assume you might have learned something about APBT from the Vicotry dogs. You probably did not pay attention since your group wasn't in the positive spotlight.

Ok..enough out of me.

On a positive note, congrats to Hector, a dog from the Vick yard, who officially became a therapy dog this week.
Stick that in your fedora and smoke it HSUS.

wait...didn't I say i wasn't writing a long post - LOL

one of the woman on PBF summed it up best...
"Needless to say, I'm furious about this--Faron's stupidity, the HSUS' blatant, arrogant hypocrisy, and above all else, the loss of those dogs. The deck was stacked against them from the outset, thanks to Goodwin's sensational, fear-mongering bluster."
