I saw this documentary with my daughter who is highly involved in animal rescue and shelter volunteering. Over one year ago, I was aware that there was a problem with breeding in our country and overcrowding in our shelters. Then Michael Vick came along and within months my daughter had me schooled about the real severity of the animal population in this country and abuse. My Facebook page is now filled with posts daily of many wonderful volunteers and shelters all trying to help their animals "live", many of which are pits!
When I was asked to join my daughter to view this movie, I agreed to go. When I left, I was so happy I did!!! It is a very real and true portrayal of what I have now learned is all across this country and many parts of the globe. Thousands of animals being euthanized everyday because they have no homes. Or love. The movie also educated me about breed specific legislation (BSL) which was pretty unaware of.
I left the showing vowing to contribute more to passing laws, helping the animals, volunteering at a shelter, giving money and food to a shelter, posting on facebook to save any animal possible, and mostly have a newfound love and respect for Pits.
Over the past several months, I have welcomed many animals from the shelter that my daughter volunteers at into my home and have loved each and every one of them. Pits are truly a loving breed and deserve love and respect just like any other dogs. Some that I have met have been over bred with teats to the ground and others have been fought and have the scars to show it. DOGFIGHTING IS DISTGUSTING AND SHOULD BE A FELONY IN EVERY STATE IN THIS UNION.
Please support this documentary and spread the word...and watch it yourself, you will be glad you did. And perhaps you will leave it knowing more than you did before and therefore be one more person that becomes dedicated to stopping BSL and saving the dogs.
