Just read a thread on FB about someone throwing their pit bull out of the window of their car.
This poor little dog was all banged up, and confused, sitting there in a vet office (probably wondering where her owner was, even though the owner was an asshole).

Then there's the recent deal of leaving the dog down to die. Happens all the time, really.
Why do people think it's "cool" to let these dogs die or get fucked up?
Why is there such little regard for their life/comfort, happiness, etc.?

Makes me sick to think about HOW MUCH abuse these dogs suffer, I mean, damn.
It doesn't make "you" a badass to treat these dogs like shit ... it just makes you an asshole.

Treating other things badly is not the sign of "toughness" in a person, it is a sign of weakness IMO.
It takes extra effort to treat something well; it takes no effort to treat something badly.
Extra effort to build something GOOD is always the sign of strength in a person's character, not the opposite.
The people who try to ruin, harm, or destroy good things are, by definition, EVIL.

Make no mistake, I love SPORTIVE COMBAT as much as anyone. I love watching two badass athletes go at it, be they man or dog, to determine a winner.
I have been in the ring myself, and on the mat myself, and so I also understand what it's like to kick ass (and to get my ass kicked).
But I have NEVER wanted to KILL my opponents, or seriously mutilate them, or have these things done to myself. Only SPORTIVE COMBAT--FUN!
I have also bred a lot of winners, for a lot of years, but I never had to treat my dogs LIKE SHIT, or kill a bunch of dogs, to make them capable of winning.
I always treated my dogs as WELL as I could possibly treat them, and if I saw they weren't capable of winning, I did NOT torture them or abuse them.
I just chose not to use certain dogs, but I have never had to shoot piles of dogs to produce multiple dogs that won every year I bred dogs.

I know of people who cut their dogs' throats if they lose, hang them from trees, stab them to death, bludgeon them with a sledge hammer, etc.
WTF is wrong with people? None of this shit is necessary or produces better dogs.

I have actually heard people say, "the harder you cull, the better your dogs."
(And this always came from people who couldn't breed dogs worth a damn.)

Wake up people: ruthlessly-culling dogs produces NOTHING. Not a GD thing.
Only BREEDINGS produces the pups that become dogs, so intelligent breeding choices are all that is necessary create good dogs.

There is ZERO need to mistreat, be mean to, pole-axe, shoot, or unnecessarily abuse any dog.

I can't TRUST any man who is mean to his dogs, because it (quite literally) shows a BAD HEART. It is almost the definition of a bad heart.

I saw a video once where a guy beat his dog to death. After every kick, punch, etc., the little dog crawled back over to the man, wagging its tail sheepishly, wondering "why" it was getting beaten, rolling over on its back to say, "I'm sorry," and this POS thug kept beating/kicking/stomping this poor dog, until it was lifeless. The dog was "dead game" with LOVE for its owner, and prostrated itself to the guy, CLEARLY "giving up" and just wanting the beatings to stop. How anyone could keep beating this dog is beyond me, and I guarantee that POS who was doing this would have shit all over himself if he were subjected to the same treatment.

This kind of crap seems to be getting more prevalent.
There are some cruel, fucked-up people in this world, and if "you" are one of them, then please just go kill YOURSELF.
Realize that YOU are the POS who needs to go, not "all the curs" on your yard.

I am sorry for my rant, but that post I saw just made me think of some of the stuff I have seen or heard about.

These dogs are generally HAPPY and POSITIVE, and can lift your spirits just being around them. That is why they bring dogs into hospitals: their company is supposed to make you HAPPY.
So, if you are such a black-hearted person that you want to snuff the happiness out of a dog, rather than be lifted by its happiness, realize YOU ARE DEFECTIVE as a human being and are the one who needs to be culled.
