What the fuck is with the fanatics?

I have spent a few days checking out a few blogs. Holy shit people have a whole lot of fucking opinions, and have no idea what grey area is.

For instance I was on facebook and I enjoy it, it is after all my dirty little secret, love Mafia wars. I was part of a fan page for Bully Breed Rescue. The stupid cunt running it was posting pictures of every pit dropped off at the pound across America. Well I have been looking for a dog for awhile. In particular a pit. Anywho, after perusing every pit rescue across Canada feeling like I was about to do something good, don't get a puppy my brainwashed head thought, I started filling out questionnaires...... I started to think...hmmm these are pretty simple easy to answer with generic happy fluffy answers, who couldn't pass this kindergarten test. Geez I wonder what the criteria for being the person who deems this dog to be safe with #1 my kids #2 my current household pets #3 the whole fucking world around me. Never mind the people who are trying to annihilate my breed.

Then I thought OMG!!!! My breed in the wrong hands can be monsters, why the fuck am I about to trust some freaky do gooder champion of the pit bull no matter what the consequences are type of person to say " yes this dog is so sweet, we have had her for two weeks and she just loves everything", and take their word for it. Shit, you have to be a fucking retard to do that.

Back to the facebook thing, I asked after seeing a pit with battle cropped ears, why would you post a dog that has been groomed for fighting? Whoops, crazy people started popping out of the woodwork. They have gone so far as to say I shouldn't even own a pit bull. I support breed bans blah blah blah. Then I made the mistake of expressing my thoughts on tough legislation, more animal control heavy licensing fees, whoops wrong move. They even followed me to CRAVENS DESIRE blog. (anti pit bull, but after some viewing of his blog, I can see why, there are a bunch of ignorant mother fuckers out there)Wow, some people are really out to lunch.

Then I start looking at breeders. Chatted with a few, found one who I really liked and trusted, believed in their philosophy and put a deposit on my Petey boy.

Instantly I posted his pic.

Well if I didn't have Zoe Lees out of Western Canada shitting down my throat. Oops I had a rescue angel on my friends list. Guess me asking for advice on rescues meant that I had made a decision on a rescue dog. My in-box was instantly filled by a self righteous rant on how could I possibly go ahead not take a shelter dog, go ahead and use that back yard breeder, just because two dogs can have sex doesn't mean they should have puppies, it takes a lot to be a good breeder, you are adding to a problem. blah blah blah overpopulation and so on. As if I didn't do my homework. Get off the fucking high horse.

Then she sent me a link to a reputable breeder. I looked, I passed.

Bull Shit.

So is it so terrible that I want a puppy? NO! I want to be sure my dog is the best that I can make it. I want to be an ambassador for this breed. I do not want to take a chance with my families safety.

I know that I can train a pit bull, I have a great one already, I also know that I have little experience with untraining any dog, but I do know that this breed in particular have been bought, trained to be mean, or just neglected more than any breed out there. And sadly there has been a lot of tragic stories on both sides, human and dogs.

I want to save my breed of choice, but I think I am fighting a loosing battle. Between the crazy fanatic so called Pit Bull lovers who would do anything for the dogs that are not what the breed was meant to be (look up show breed standard before going off with your bullshit), to the fucking people who think I am a psycho for having them in my home.

I think both sides are terribly wrong, neither want any real solution, they just want to argue.

But I am up for the fight...... But my dog is just up on the couch.
