Off the Chain
The Pit bull was brought to America from Ireland and England and became America's family dog. At the turn of the 19th and early 20th century it was the number one dog of choice for the average American family. The Pit bull was extremely intelligent, malleable and devoted to its master, really a smart animal that loves human beings. But what have we done that transformed our friend into a malicious demonic animal that has to be eliminated?
And if we could figure out how we did that to these animals maybe there will be some lessons for how we do it to ourselves as human beings. The American Pit Bull Terrier of today is a very different dog than it was twenty years ago. What has largely happened to this breed is what has happened to other breeds when they've gotten popular as the top-dog to have. And that is breeding them for the wrong reasons and keeping them in unacceptable conditions.
That breed has been used by the young generation as the macho dog. They gave it a bad name by causing it to fight other dogs. People have taken that instinct of a Pit bull to bond to a human, to really love its owner, and they've totally manipulated it to use these dogs in a fight with another dog.
The underworld combined these elements realizing that they could train the Pit Bull Terrier to become a vicious fighting creation. It is so far underground, it is so well-entrenched, the American public has virtually no idea it's taking place.
How anybody can consider that as a 'sport', 'entertainment' and certainly anything that remotely resembles something called 'professional'? Of all breeds right now Pit bull is probably a number one breed owned by irresponsible, uncaring and abusive owners. The breeding of this dog revolves around its fighting abilities with less attention to other aspects and characteristics.
This "guy" that's undercover because the sport is so underground your an ignorant ruthless pile of ****. Show your self if your so proud of this sport . They sound so ignorant every one that agrees with this b.s. they take the dogs wonderful qualities and use it against them now half of the uneducated population about pitbulls think they are all fighting mean creatures. You know at least one person if not yourself that owns one and they will tell you they are the best and sweetest dogs. You can search pitbull breeders and can pick out what kennels are for fighting . Now tell me if it's this concerning to authority's why arent they stopping them?!! Why is the only ones trying to help the animals rescues? **** has to stop all animal abuse needs to stop . They are not disposable and they have feelings so quit making them out to be viscous and ruined for a chance of a loving home rather then to be put to sleep. I hate you ruthless ***** who do this . .
They are trash pure trash
I have owed two of the most living American Staffordshire Terriers both females both brindle in colour. They loved me and my family. Never had one bad day they even loved they cat sisters. And all slept together
Sad day when you see a dog doing all it can to please its master almost to exhaustion and death, and these assholes take advantage of that fact that the dogs will do anything for their owner. All for fcking money! I never wished harm to any other human but today I want to say these so called dog breeders of fighting dogs needs to DIAF.
My position is that dogfighting is cruel and should be treated as the serious crime that it is for multiple reasons. The following is merely a thumbnail sketch on the subject of pitbulls. If you are interested in a complete understanding of these breeds, you will need to research them extensively. There are so many variables inherent that it is nearly impossible to knowledgeably discuss the breeds of dog generally, and usually, known as "pitbull."
Most of the laws in the US, and in other countries, prohibiting 'pitbulls' are ignorantly based upon the appearance of dogs people believe to be "pitbulls." The reality is that there are only three, AKC recognized breeds of pitbulls: The Staffordshire Terrier, The English Bull Terrier, and The American Pit Bull Terrier. Not even expert dog breeders can positively identify a pitbull by their appearance. Just because a dog "looks" like a pitbull doesn't make them one. Look up the Argentine Dogo and the presa Canario...
The reason pitbulls are referred to as such is not because of dogfighting. After England outlawed dogfighting in the early part of the 19th century, dog owners substituted rats in a pit for opponent dogs. Spectators bet on the number of rats a dog could kill within a given time. It's true that "pitbulls" used to be the all American dog. The dog(s) that was the constant companion of the kids in the "Little Rascals" were Staffordshire Terriers. The "His Master's Voice" RCA dog was a mix of Fox Terrier and Staffordshire Terrier.
I grew up with a mixed breed dog that most people would say was a pitbull. I doubt he was but, he was very muscular, highly intelligent, and very protective. He was a wonderful pet, literally a part of out family. "Duke" was intimidating to strangers but lovable once he realized you "belonged." He wasn't naturally aggressive toward other dogs but if another dog attacked Duke, the attacking dog always "lost" no matter his size... It is true that these types of dogs are not inherently dangerous but, as with any dog breed, a very few are simply born aggressive. Unfortunately, the naturally aggressive dogs should be culled because they can pose a serious threat to people and to other dogs.
The heart of the matter, if you desire to understand these dogs or are considering owning a type of this dog breed is to be knowledgeable about the general personality of a "pitbull." These types of dogs have a strong prey instinct. Translation: Don't rough them up too much when you play with them. When they become too excited, they can hurt someone inadvertently because they are so powerful. Don't leave them alone for significant periods. They are truly people dogs, they love their owners. If left to their own devices, they can become very destructive. Because of their protective instincts, these dogs need to be well socialized starting when they are puppies. Never leave a pitbull, or any dog, alone with small children. Even the best of dogs, of any breed, can misinterpret the actions of a small child. There is so much too know about these types of dogs but learning about them and, perhaps getting one for a pet, can be very rewarding. They are wonderful breed.
Anyone else notice at 11:00, the second, massive tether running to some other spot off camera? No doubt this leash is held by a handler, to help control dog should it attack the child.
Recently, a local deputy responded to a report of a stray dog. The dog was a pit bull, and it approached the cruiser in a friendly manner when called. When the dog got near the vehicle, an SUV, it lunged at the window, attempting to engage the deputy, but the window was not open sufficiently. Frustrated, the dog attacked a tire on the vehicle, flattening it, then moved to the other side, and repeated the attack on another tire, also flattening it. The dog had to be shot to avoid injury to humans.
The man/gun, man/dog analogy is meaningless and ridiculous; a dog has a brain & free will, whereas a gun does not.
Beyond his proclaiming it, I challenge anyone to point out a scene in the video that indicates a "love" for these or any dogs. The love is for the potential for big money.
I don't agree with what you are doing to them poor dogs
If these i*iot men (I say men because they all seem to be men) need so badly to compensate for their small man syndrome...they should leave the poor dogs out of it and place bets on who has the bigger penis... It would accomplish the same goal!!!
"America's family dog" that "loves human beings". Really?
This is the same sick psychosis one sees in canned hunts, the gut-shooting of wolves, and trophy hunting—control-freak macho bloodlust and cruelty for its own sake. The money exchange is just icing.
Omg, I'm not even at 20 minutes in and I don't think i can finish .. why can't these ***holes at least fight the dogs themselfs.. wouldn't make it any better but that way the trainers would feel what they've "achieved"
What is wrong with people that can film this documentary and not have any conscience to turn this mf i*iot into authorities. If I came face to face with this POS I don't know what I would do to contain myself. I am 53 and have these dogs all my life. They are the most amazing, loving, affectionate dogs you could ever have. They literally become your family member. They should take dog fighters and put them in a pit and make them fight until one is dead, without allowing either one out unless one is dead. The other should be arrested, and charged, and put on death row with a maximum stay of one month. That will give him enough time to think about dying, Then give him dog food for his last meal. It's about money and greed. Despite what he has convinced himself of he is a murder. I hope he gets caught, and I don't know how this documentarian sleeps at night.
How low does your self esteem have to be or small is your d**k that you need an animal like this.......No wonder President Cheney and the R*tarded Texan made it to the White House
The people who do interviews and breed these dogs as fighting dogs have a very weird thought pattern like a sociopath.
I am one who has been on the other end of a pit bull attack. I was just walking down the street.When it came out of no where. It started ripping at my ankle.Talk about horrifying. I live in Canada where owners must have 1000000 dollars worth of insurance on their dogs. This has prevented dope dealers from owning these animals.!! It has prevented owners who mistreat the Pits.I once owned a pit.This dog had to be put down.The previous owner had abused it. One cannot teach a dog who has been abused to be friendly how stupid was i.Dog fighting is a federal offense here as well.I agree with Gandhi that societies are judged by how they treat their animals.The owners here in Canada also will be fined and charged for not having these or any dogs on leashes while in public.I am sure my attack was caused because the dog was mistreated and off its leash. It was most likely protecting its territory. My stay in hospital and my permanent scars are a constant reminder to me that these dogs do and will attack !!!!
This is ridiculous! I haven't even watched it yet but my family (my husband and four kids) have been pit bull owners since my oldest son was a baby. We have never had papers on our dogs and they have always just been family pets. They are one of the most loyal breeds of dogs I have ever had. They would do anything for us and are so well mannered. Of course, we have always raised ours from puppies too. It's sad that people want to turn these animals into fighters. Yes, it is in their blood to fight with other dogs. That is only if you raise them to think this way. My dogs have been around small breed dogs, dogs bigger than them, etc. and have never attacked them. They are of course a little stand offish, they are very nervous at first but they learn to act the way they do by the emotions I show around the same animals. If I'm scared of the other dog, they are very protective. However, I would never put my dog in a situation to fight with another dog unless I truly feared for my life and then...I know my dogs would protect me with all they had. That's what makes this breed of dog so amazing I think! They are truly good hearted animals but also show loyalty like no other. Guess I'm gonna watch this now even though I know I'm going to be terribly upset. People who use this breed to their advantage with no thoughts of what it is doing to the dog should not be priveleged to own such an animal.
just finished watching,well done documentary
Firstly...if you love dogs....DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!!!...Im a bullterrier/staffy/pitbull lover who has proudly owned these breeds along with many friends all having the same passion for these muscular proud loving athletic dogs and after watching this all I feel is sad angry and the need to find each one of these gutless cowards hiding behind sunglasses and masks on this documentary, so called "dog men", and seek unimaginable revenge on behalf of these poor dogs which are being viciously abused and totally wasted for a bunch of scumbag lowlife wimps who never learnt to fight themselves...the people involved in this disgusting behaviour, in my mind, are in the same group as paedophiles...taking advantage of situations where the participants are made to suffer at the most extreme cost and can have no control over what is happening to them...it truly sickened me!!! I hope that the poor animals being put down or brutally killed by these inhuman bottomfeeding rockspiders get to go to the next place and chase the frisbee, catch the ball and all the things dogs love till their hearts content...this shows that humans are the real animals!!!
I would love to watch this except when I see the abused animals I get so sick inside. Don't get me wrong I have watched many and I volunteer time and money to fight against animal abuse but sometimes the images stick with you forever. I know they are trying to punish more people for this abuse but it isn't harsh or fast enough. These are innocent beings. I started to watch this thing 3 times and can't! I wish I would know when the bad parts are coming and could skip a little of it.
Just a bunch of frustrated people that see on their dogs a way to have a bigger pennis... this is just sad
have to agree with most of the posters sentiments. That fellow in the mask is completely out to lunch. Not everyone is into competition that was his first dellusional statement among many others. He loves his dog? Jeez how does he love his girlfriends???? Yikes
I tried but I just can't watch it. I wish I could get ahold of any "people" that treat these loyal little pups like that.
Interesting.
I couldn't even watch all this without crying. I have a pit bull from a rescue shelter who bares the scars and lifelong problem with breathing due to dog fighting. I've had her 4 years now and she is gentle and loving to every pet I've brought into this home after her. She lightly touches her nose to my leg when I'm doing chores to encourage and support me and she never leaves my side no matter where I go or what I do. I've never encountered a dog so loyal or devoted as my pit bull and I love her so much. It doesn't matter what's going on she focuses on me. Some dog personalities you are there for the dog and some personalities the dog is there for you. She is the dog that is there for me. 100% devotion and trust in her gentle eyes and she's been through sheer hell.
I can't understand why people are so full of hate and cruelty. They deaden their conscience and damn their souls to do these things.
Please stop this.. You don't understand how wonderful and devoted these dogs are! Breaks my heart
The only thing that can be said about people that do this to any animal should be tortured to death!! Those IDIOTS are very mentally ill and need to be banished from the earth!!!! They are disgusting to say the least !!!!
