Pit bull adoption

[kgoings]

I like Pit's but have never owned one. I watched the Mike Vick thing on Animal Planet and learned alot about Pits. In only recent history have Pit's become known as vicious animals...its because they have a tremendous desire to please. And people have taken advantage of that and trained them to fight. If fighting is what pleases the owner then thats what the Pits do but its not their natural disposition.

Only 2 of all Vicks dogs had to be put down, I think at least 2 of the other dogs are currently working as rehabilitation or hospital visit dogs. Most if not all the others have been placed with familys. The workers said that none of them (besides the 2 that had to be put down) even showed agressiveness when they are taken in.

A few of the dogs were given to a tattoo artist who I've met a few different times. Brandon Bond is one of the biggest pit bull rescue activists out there. I'll see if i can dig up the videos.
