I agree, Colleen. I think it's a sick sick sport. I first heard about it as a kid when I read Jack London's "call of the wild" and have never understand the blood lust behind the "sport". It's just plain violent abuse to God's beautiful creation.
Oh I cried when I read that book, Jaime! Until I was writing Into the Deep, I didn't know it still went on.
it was really weird because i was reading Into the Deep right when the Vick case got on the air. i can't believe anyone would do that to dogs. so so cruel.
Oh, Colleen, I'm so glad you left that out. It was bad enough having Samson in that rat hole. I thought about that when I heard about the Vick deal. It is so disgusting. I saw a neighbor beating his dog a couple weeks ago and I yelled at him, I was so upset. I can't stand it when animals and kids are abused.
Yes, they will also steal your big dogs to use as fighting dogs and to breed fighting dogs. We had a bull mastiff (sweetest dog on the planet but they look fierce) and she was stolen from our fenced-in backyard. 6 months later found at house that hosted dog fighting. She was tied up in the mud near fighting pit bulls. Thanks to God, she didn't have a mark on her. Our local police department helped us get her back.
Oh Dawn, how horrible! Oh this whole topic just makes me sick.
What really makes me sad is that on ESPN the other night (it's always on at our house) they were saying that the league had to be careful because Vick still has a huge following. That his fans, because of the way they were raised, don't see anything wrong with what he did and will be upset if they're too harsh with Vick. Uh, are you serious? Are there really that many people out there that don't see anything wrong with it? That's just wrong...and very very sad.
My dad has an american pitbull (he rescued him) and he's the sweetest dog but I'm always telling my dad to watch him because he'd be a dog fighters dream. He's strong and mean looking. But oh so sweet. Sad that we have to worry about our animals being stolen and abused.
Oh my goodness, Sabrina, I hadn't heard that. People are sicker than I realized!
We live in Atlanta, and if they ever let Vick play again, we'll stop supporting the Falcons. I haven't heard of one single Atlantan who feels differently. But thankfully, the commissioner says he'll never play again. He's scum.
Dawn, I just read your post about yoru Mastiff. We have an English Mastiff and they sure are sweeties. I'm so glad you got yours back!!!
Oh man! That is horrible!! I hope they throw the book at him too! I can not believe there are people in this world that is that cruel! I would be devastated if someone did that to my dog! I just think it's so sad that people are that heartless and cold to do something like that. It just breaks my heart :(
