We have quite the controversial story lined up for you today. It presents a question of morals, realities and hope for a better life, and it can most certainly be said that there is no right answer other than that the poor pups involved should have never been put in that position in the first place. After spending most of their lives bullied and bred into fighting for the entertainment of hoomans, these doggos are being given a chance at a new life thanks to the heroic hoomans who mobilized and rescued them from the clutches of their evil master.

However, as you will see, there is much debate over whether these sweet souls will ever be able to be rehabilitated and put into the homes of wholesome hoomans without posing a threat to those around them due to the instincts embedded into them since birth. But no matter what happens, we believe that there should be a place to be relieved that at the very least these gentle giants no longer have to bleed for their bread ever again.

    Well, it's finally happened. Police busted a dog fighter in my hometown a few days ago. He had his own ring and 60 dogs in atrocious condition. A local shelter took them in, and it looks the fighting dogs are going to be 'rehabilitated' and adopted out.

    It is truly horrible what some hoomans consider to be a reasonable way to treat animals. As the years roll on, we are discovering more and more just how much smarter than us they are and how much more they understand about our world than we do. We truly hope that there heroic doggos find a new peaceful path in life.

    "Nearly 60 dogs were rescued this week from an alleged dogfighting operation in rural Tyler. Now, facilities are asking the public for help as dogs while a criminal investigation is underway. Sixty-one animals - 59 dogs, two cats - were rescued from a mobile home on County Road 4136. Smith County Animal Control was called out to the property Monday after an anonymous tipster told officials they believed dogs were living in horrible conditions and a dog was possibly eating another.

    Animal control officers arrived at the 9-acre property to find dozens of injured dogs. Some were confined in cages or make-shift kennels while others were found in a shed, tied to treadmills where they were being forced to "work out" with heavy weights on their necks, police said. The dogs had no ventilation or air conditioning in 85- degree weather and were susceptible to heat stroke or death, an investigator said in an arrest affidavit. Others were chained in the yard.

    The dogs were malnourished with their ribs showing, according to the affidavit. Smith County Animal Control Supervisor Amber Greene said the animals had no access to clean water."

    Such terrible treatment should not even be reserved for the worst of hooman prisoners. Let alone for prisoners who have little say or ability to change their situation. What kind of life can you imagine for yourself if you are born into conditions like these and expected to learn to fight for your life on a daily basis.

    The fighting dogs have been sent to two local shelters, and one says on FB "THE DOGS FROM THE FIGHTING RING CANNOT LEAVE THE SMITH COUNTY SHELTER AT THIS TIME, so if you only want to foster one of those dogs, do not message us. They are evidence and cannot leave." And comments are all Pit-Mommies offering prayers and asking people to adopt. I can't even anymore.

Bred and trained to kill." "Well, okay then." Maybe they should just come out and admit that there is literally no history a pit bull can have that would, in their eyes, make that dog unacceptable for being adopted out as a family dog. All they need is those unicorn homes for the Dahmers and Bundys of the dog world, and voil

    [deleted] • 1mo ago • Edited 1mo ago • The poor dog with a missing nose is very consistent with a fight/bait injury, I've seen many bait (usualy not pit) dogs with injury like this. I guess in a way weaker, low quality pits that valued fighters are put against to build their strength and confidence are "bait dogs". Sad to see what these poor animals had to endure. Imo they deserve some kind treatment, their wounds treated and a few delicious meals, but ultimately all of them have to be BE'd beca

    PristineEffort2181 • 1mo ago. sad thing is why will start euthanizeing other dogs because they don't have any room and they have to keep these until the trial is over! There have been a couple of multimillion dollar awards to people injured or killed by pit bulls that were adopted from shelters which had the effect of slowing these pit nutters adoption of vicious dogs down! Also it's a felony if your dog k8lls someone off your property and you knew it 2as vicious!, So you migh5 be pleasantly sur

    feralfantastic • 1mo ago. This is a great opportunity to quantify the failures of fighting dog adoption. The BSL movement wasn't really as robust as it is now when Michael Vick was busted. Now we have a chance to monitor this process and establish a success rate, and make a negative inference if shelters attempt to obscure this information.

    Serious-Knee-5768 • 1mo ago. 60 dogs literally bred to be gamey and win an actual fight. How are they going to rehab? At what point do they "pass" a dog in rehab. What signals to them that this bloodsport dog, raised in filth, waiting for is turn to tear something up, is now Nala the googirl, or Phinneus, the "suchawigglygooboi" ready for the Joe Average family with three rambunctious kids. Make it make sense!

No, let's let populations degenerate. into poverty and neglect. → 17 17 ☐ Reply Share bittymacwrangler • 1mo ago • Some of the wealthiest farmers I worked with had cages full of fighting roosters and possibly fighting dogs as well. Michael Vick was far from impoverished. This is not an activity solely engaged in by rural people in impoverished areas,
