luvspitbulls's blog: "unconditional"

it is hard to do what i do everyday of every week  ,of every month. the horrible things that i see that people have done to the A.P.B.T are awful. they get beaten and starved, dragged behind vehicles, thrown into dumpsters, shot, stabbed, and even get parts of their bodies blown off by "humans". and i use the word "human" lightly, for the abuse and neglect that i see every single day is not done by "humans" it is done by sick twisted people who are on their way to becoming serial killers. dont believe it? almost all of the infamous serial killers throughout history have been animal abusers. no matter how many times i see it or how many different things i see done to these poor dogs, it never gets any easier to deal with, the emotions flow threw me every time i see it. it sickens me to my soul and hurts my heart. i do not understand what would drive a person to commit such a ha-nus act on an animal. some people think that the pit bull is a vicious killer, this is not true, however i think that most people , if put through what alot of these dogs go through would be, imagine being locked in a cage, or chained outside 24/7 with little or no food and shelter, no one paying any attention to you other than throwing you some scraps or to yell at you and beat you. never getting any love from a human. i know i would be a pissed of mother fucker and prolly kill the first person that came near me !!! yet, most of the rescued pit bulls who have endured such travesties are not this way at all, they are very loving and are very happy to be getting some GOOD attention. sometimes fearful and untrusting at first, when given the chance and shown love and caring they bounce right back to their happy loving, tail waggin selves. could you do that ? how these dogs are able to ever trust us humans again is beyond me, but goes to show the resilience of these dogs and how quickly they forgive all of the horrible things that are done to them, yet society wants to eradicate this breed because of its so called killer instinct which is only made worse by the media fueled hype about these dogs. rarely do you ever see the good that these animals do, such as therapy dogs or police drug dogs, or most recently in Tyler Texas a little girl wandered away from her home, she was lost for 6 hours and when they found her, guess who was with her? thats right, the family pit bull/ matter of fact the dog would not let the rescuers near the little girl at first, but after some coaxing the dog finally realized that they were not there to hurt the little girl but to save her. the dog then let people get the girl to safety. bet you didnt know about that did you ? or another example of a pit bull doing great things. a women who was being beaten by her husband was bitten by a pit bull. the dog reacted to save his owner from getting hurt, unfortunately the dog was deemed a dangerous animal and was put down. what kind of society do we live in where a animal protects its owner only to be put to death? these dogs are used in illegal dog fighting, this is a sad fact, they were bred by the dog men of old for this purpose. many of those breeds are now recognised by the AKC as pure breed dogs. the DA(dog aggression) that they have had bred into them is said to be a "trait" of pure bred status. unfortunately there are those who use this as well as the dogs desire to please its owner to fight them in the underworld of dog fighting. illegal dog fighting is everywhere, it is a business in which people make thousands of dollars of a single fight. unfortunately at the cost of the dogs themselves, the winner at best gets a little praise, their wounds are grossly under taken care of by the owners themselves, after all they cant take them to the vet for anything, the losers are usually killed or left to die abandoned in an alley or like i mentioned before thrown into dumpsters ect...  hopefully this has opened your eyes a little bit into my world and what i have chosen to dedicate my life to. these dogs as well as other animals have no voice to speak up for themselves, so myself and others like me choose to be the voice that they do not have and strive to stop the needless abuse and neglect that these dogs receive at the hands of "humans". the shelters are also not a good place for them to end up, most of the shelters do not try to adopt out these dogs, they are placed on death row and wait to be PTS. and the shelters that do not kill them right away simply put them in a cage. it may be better than the life they had before but it is not what they deserve, people just walk by them and go towards the more favorable family pets, little do they know what they are missing out on by not choosing to love one of these dogs. the pit bull has been the best dog i have ever owned and i have had them for the last 15 yrs. i will not ever own another type of dog. the true companionship and loyalty that i have experienced with these dogs far outweigh any other type of dog i have ever had. so the next time you hear stories of a pit bull who attacked someone or had to be killed due to aggression, ask yourself, what happened to this dog to make it that way,cuz they are not all what the media would like you to believe they are.
