Stop Pit Fighting NOW!

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 This Myspace page was created with the intention to spread awareness about the brutal and abusive sport of dog fighting. The type of dog most often used in fights today is the Pit Bull. The breed name (although a Pit Bull is not technically a breed) has been tarnished, thousands of dogs have died either in the pit or at countless shelters, and even more unnecessary litters have been born. Dogs that fall under the category "Pit Bull", including Staffordshires, Amstaffs, and American Pit Bull Terriers, can be some of the most loyal and loving dogs. Unfortunately, due to the cruel bloodsport, they have become one of the most feared dogs of today. It has gone so far that breed bans have been in implemented in several countries including the UK, and almost in the US. And yet, there are still musicians writing songs glamorizing dog fighting, and sports stars walking around with dogs clearly used for fighting.I hope that this myspace will educate people about these great dogs and encourage everyone to call the police immediately if they know of any pit fighting that is going on in their neighborhood.Call Oakland Police non-emergency dispatch at 510-777-3333, 24 hours a day to report: • A stray, vicious, injured or dead animal; • Animal cruelty; or • An animal-related nuisance, such as barking.San Francisco County Animal Control: (415) 554-6364

My Interests

Although now a controversial breed, the Pitbull Dog was once America’s favorite dog. World War I artwork depicted Pit Bulls representing the United States. Sergeant Stubby, a Pit Bull, was a World War II hero who saved several soldiers and captured a German spy. Helen Keller, Theodore Roosevelt, and Thomas Edison were proud Pit Bull owners. The Little Rascals had Pete. Laura Ingalls, author of The Little House on The Prairie book series, had Jack. RCA and Buster Brown Shoes both chose Pit Bulls for their mascots. A Pitbull Dog named Bud was the first dog to travel across America in a car. His goggles can be found in the Smithsonian Institute

I'd like to meet:

Your dogs! Send me pictures of your rescue dogs (any kind, the breed doesn't matter)!!!

Movies:

I know the music is corny, but this video makes some really good points.ASPCAPoor sound quality, but good interview:

Television:

This video contains some very graphic footage... but I feel that to really get the point across, I should post this. It really shows how disgusting the people who are involved with animal fights really are. I will take it down if people feel it is too offensive, but I think that it is important to know and to hear from law enforcement what is really going on in and between these fights. This video not only shows dog fights, but also cock fights, another sick form of "entertainment" that needs to be stopped.

Heroes:

People who make awesome websites like these: www.realpitbull.com www.badrap.org/rescue/ www.workingpitbull.com www.pet-abuse.com www.aspca.orgwww.scrapswalnutcreek.com (live in or around walnut creek? great place to buy holistic dog and cat food!!)
