Conspiracy and gambling is another thing.
So how can you be on Vick's side?
Quote:
In his written plea filed in federal court Friday, Vick admitted helping kill six to eight pit bulls and supplying money for gambling on the fights. He said he did not personally place any bets or share in any winnings.
Those are the facts homie

I have neva heard of Golden Retrievers, Great Danes or German Sheppards turning on their owners, mauling little children or being used in a "blood sport"...
It happens, may not always be broadcasted. Pits don't turn on loving owners. Key word here is "loving" German Shepherds were used to bite up people during the civil rights movement. Why? Because the police owner TRAINED them to do so. A dog will do what it's trained to do. Its the irresponsibility of the owners that causing problems.

I believe thats just for his plea deal to the FEDS and to try and spare his NFL career. He'd better say that than he was gambling or it's really over w/ NO possibility of a return.

Dogfighting is considered bad because its inhumane, not to mention all the other things that go along with it. If you were truly an dog lover you wouldnt be able to sit there and watch you dog maul or get mauled to death, talkin about scoring . Can you honestly pull either of those dogs in ur picture off of another dog once they latch on? Hell no! That may have been the most idoitic thing i've seen someone post thus far.
I understand you have an opinion but to say my statements were idiotic is ridiculous especially when I know you didn't read what was typed. So for you my friend I will break it down. I said dogfighting is considered bad because of the attachments. I only named a FEW not all the attachments. I never said I sat and watched any of my dogs get mauled to death. I know about dogfighting from back in the day when it wasn't illegal to do. And it was more sport. It wasn't about a dog getting killed or even chewed up really bad. It was about the heart of the dog and conditioning a dog to fight for a certain amount of time/rounds, not death. (Thats why I mentioned boxing and mixed martial arts - time limit/rounds)This is not from my personal manual this is the way it was. There was/is a scoring system for dogfighting. Educate yourself before you go saying something you know nothing about. Its not the dogs. Its the irresponsible owners that give this breed such a bad name. Is it the dogs fault for being loyal to it's owner? If people would just raised these dogs up correctly they could see that Pits are one of the best breeds out there. And thats what I've been doing for the past 4 years as a hobby. I do not fight my dogs nor will I ever. I'm very picky about who I sell my dogs to. All my dogs are sold under a contract with paperwork included stating that the dog will not be used in any illegal activities. Any potential owner and their yard is screened. My dogs are for show purposes and weight-pull only and I have all the necessary paperwork to back that up. Don't let the negative media attention sway you into thinking that pits are no good. I've been dealing w/ Pits for long time so I know whats really good. Cocker Spaniels have been reported more likely to bite a human than a Pit. But one wouldn't know because thats not broadcasted in the newspaper and on the news.

lol....so if you dont mind me asking...how would a dog win one of these fights?
There's whats called a scratch line. Once the owner lets the dogs go they fight for a time limit 2-3 minutes. Once time expires they are broken up w/ break sticks and faced off again. If one dog can't make it across the scratch line then they're exhausted or do not have the will to fight. What has been happening lately is that when either of the above happens the owner will "call the dog out." Which is killing the dog in some barbaric way. I will never agree with that. Part of why I just KNOW about this and will never participate. Back in the day, if your dog lost a fight you didn't kill it. You took hiim home and trained and conditioned him harder to win the next fight. It wasn't about killing. It was about strength and showing that you had the dominant dog in the ring. I guess that system got boring to todays dogfighters and they went to fighting to the death. Again I stress that this is not my way of handling pits but its what I saw and knew about at a young age. And I'm just educating those who don't really know dogfighting history.
Another scoriing system that has been used is setting a numerical limit for the amount of times your dog could "turn." When a dog "turns" during a fight its basically on it's back. At that point the dogs would be broken up with break sticks and faced off again. For example if we set the turn limit to 3 and your dog turned 4 times during the match, you lost. These would be considered quick matches and most of the time neither dog would be damaged real bad. There use to be a lot more structure to it. It wasn't about killing another person's dog. It was more sport.

I guess my only question is, since everyone knows the demeanor of pitbulls, and have known for decades now, why has no action been taken against this breed of dog.
There has been several actions taken against this breed. Several congressman in California are trying to outlaw the breed across the entire state right now. And PG County has already done so among other places.

Seriously, 90% of pitbull owners i know don't have them for love and companionship. They're either for protection or aggression.
Thats 90% of pitbull owners you know. 85% of pitbull owners I know own them for their loyalty, stength, dedication, and companionship. I do know some owners that have pits for protection and they still love their dogs. They're trained to recognize a threat and respond as they've been trained. Just as a police dog would. Other than that their dog is considered an ordinary pet. Pitbulls are not normally aggressive. Its when an owner praises and rewards that aggression that causes so many problems. The dog will think it's OK to be aggressive and think everything but the owner is a threat. If a responsible owner would take control of the dogs aggression at an early age and show the dog whats a threat and whats not there wouldn't be so many people getting bit or mauled by pits. It could be any dog acting out like that, not just pits. Rottweilers, Presa Canarios, Akitas, and Argentino Dogos are some dogs known for their protective nature. Its the owner's responsibility to socialize, control, and teach the dog whats right.
