The American pit bull terrier is a dog that, like human beings, ends up either a personable or unpleasant adult based largely on the way it’s raised.
Research has shown that bull terriers raised in normal households grow up to be no more vicious than any other average dog.
But Michael Vick’s recent arrest has drawn a tremendous amount of attention to what can happen when bull terriers and other breeds are taught to fight from an early age.
Dog fights were among the entertainment offered up at stadia during the days of the Roman Empire. But we have progressed beyond gladiatorial bouts to the death. It’s a shame that some still enjoy blood sports such as dogfighting.
Today’s FamilyFirst site uses humor to draw attention to a problem, and sends some of its proceeds to humane societies and other organizations aim3ed at animal welfare.
It’s called The Officials Vick’s Dog Chew Toy. Yes, it’s a doggie chew toy that looks like . . . You Know Who!
