Changing Values
In these days of changing values almost everything that was once considered sacred has lost its value. No longer are traditional values such as respect for parents, acceptance of responsibility for elderly family members, commitment to country, and admiration for courage, held in the same esteem.
Children have been allowed to assume the authoritative role over parents and grow up without benefit of "traditional family values". Incredibly, courts have recently given children the "right to sue" parents.
Is it any wonder parents are placed in rest homes at the first sign of dependence "to be with others of similar age and interests"?
The sense of family love and acceptance of responsibility toward one another are characteristics which once separated humans from animals.
If children had been taught and forced to respect traditional values instead of being allowed to find themselves in some drug culture or pagan religion, perhaps abortion clinics wouldn't be operating on an ever increasing scale.
Now that man has more time on his hands than in any period in history, having freed himself of the responsibility of traditional values, how is he putting it to use? In many odd ways I assure you. However, I'll confine my observations to animals.
Unnatural Affection
Everyone needs a feeling of self-worth and peer recognition, well-founded or otherwise. Unfortunately, many misdirected people have band together and channeled their energies into the most inane causes - substituting traditional human values with an "unnatural" affection towards animals,
A society that approves of those who bequeath their estates to animals, while millions of people suffer from hunger and starvation, would do well to "re-examine its values".
Truly, such acts demonstrate a disdain for humanity. Gone are the traditional attitudes towards animals.
I enjoy, respect and appreciate my dog. He's my pal and is entitled to good care. However, he is not equal to nor does he have the same rights as my family.
There are among us groups who profess to deplore violence and believe animals have the same "inalienable rights" as humans.
Pro-Animal Groups
These "caring" groups overtake research laboratories, destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment, threaten dedicated research scientists, and retard research that could save or improve human life.
These groups are determined to illegally superimpose their distorted views upon society and science.
Sheltering under the guise of crusaders, these "militant minorities" are being allowed to disproportionately influence our society and its legislators. Instead of receiving media condemnation, these groups are being regarded as "caring" people.
These are not caring people, as they would have us believe, but rather violent, misdirected people with a distorted sense of values and priorities.
Humane Society
There is yet another group which professes "love and concern" for animals. This group takes great delight in referring to itself as a "non-profit human society".
This is a privately owned business that provides its leaders with a very handsome lifestyle and much personal prestige on the wings of unearned money solicited from a misinformed public.
Within this group are many sub-groups, all saving or protecting some animal from being treated like an animal. Interestingly, the overwhelming majority of these people live in cities and have little or no day-to-day contact with animals other than house pets.
Among their expressed goals are:
Abolish rodeos! (Unless the animals can ride the cowboys.)
Abolish horse racing! (The poor horses are whipped to make them run faster.)
Abolish greyhound racing! (Greyhounds are trained and conditioned to run by chasing rabbits. The Society considers this cruel. In addition, the hounds should not be required to chase a mechanical rabbit around a track, despite the fact that "they live to run and run to live".)
The same society is against everything which requires an animal to earn its keep (unless they can do it by lying on a sofa).
As illogical and misdirected as the leaders of this society are, don't be surprised to see yet another segment rise up with yet another cause - "Save the Unborn - Boycott Eggs!"
However, of all innocent victims of these powerful groups, the most maligned and "endangered breed" is the American Pit Bull Terrier.
The alleged purpose of this society is to protect and save animals: everything from whales to goldfish; elephants to mosquitoes; everything except the Pit Bull.
The attitude of this politically influential society toward the Pit Bull defies logic, bellies their alleged purpose, and can only be described as "organized genocide of an innocent breed". Which brings us to the question, WHY ME?
Pit Bull Character
The Pit Bull was bred and developed as a companion and gladiator.
Unfortunately, the word gladiator, which simply means one who will fight to defend, has a sinister connotation attached to it by bleeding hearts who mentally live in the "Land of Oz".
All surviving animals have fought to defend themselves! However, this admirable quality has been developed in well-bred Pit Bulls to a greater degree than in any other man-loving animal.
As recently as twelve years ago, the Pit Bull was a relatively unknown breed. However, about this time, so called "non-profit humane leaders" were desirous of raising even more money to fill their greedy pockets. What better means to accomplish this self-serving goal than to misinform a concerned public.
Just as "scoundrels" in other money raising schemes have duped a trusting public, these humane leaders swindled many well-meaning people on the pretext of preventing horrible cruelties to animals.
Media Myths
They created horror stories depicting the Pit Bull as an instrument of death, guilty of horrible atrocities against other animals. Every dog or cat that strayed from home suddenly became the victim of a Pit Bull and his depraved owner.
Even pigeons were brought into these fabrications. Pigeon heads were reportedly pulled off and the spurting blood poured over the heads of Pit Bulls, presumably to make them blood-crazed and more vicious.
Ripley's Believe It Or Not could not have sold these ridiculous fables, but humane leaders did a remarkable job of selling these sinister tales to grief stricken pet owners. (If President Reagan could raise money as quickly and abundantly as these exploiters, the National Debt would be a thing of the past.)
The Pit Bull was suddenly in the lime-light. People who had never heard of a Pit Bull were intrigued by these gruesome stories.
Sane people were repelled.
Ill-bred Dogs
Sickos and opportunists were driven and stimulated. Pit Bulls suddenly fell victim to cruel methods of being raised under horrid conditions to enhance the blood-crazed characteristics fabricated by humane leaders. Opportunists began breeding cull-stock to meet the demands of a warped and growing market. Little or no care was taken to select animals with the great traditional qualities of the Pit Bull.
Rather than gameness and character as the primary goal, it became "Big - Bigger - Biggest, Mean - Meaner - Meanest".
As a direct result of the intentional conspiracy against the Pit Bull by Humane leaders, a few ill-bred Pit Bull bit people.
These bite victims should hold liable and lay direct blame for their tragic experience on humane leaders who created this perverted and unprecedented demand for Pit Bulls.
Through contrived, sensationalized media coverage, humane leaders implanted horror stories in the minds of many irresponsible people, who in some cases allowed such attacks to occur.
Out of Character
It is completely out of character for a well-bred Pit Bull to bite without provocation.
This can be readily documented by researching the past 200 years of recorded Pit Bull history. By doing so, it is impossible for unprincipled adversaries to produce any evidence to support their claims against the Pit Bull.
Conversely, some of the Attack Breeds such as Doberman Pinscher, were developed for the purpose of attack people. Each year, thousands of the attack breeds (Dobermans, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Mastiffs, etc.) are trained to attack by professionals and do so on a regular basis without any outcry from human leaders.
In fact, once an attach breed dog has proven its ability and willingness to attack, its value is greatly increased. It is esteemed as a proven protector, and if need be, a killer!
Double Standard
Apparently, an attack by an attack breed earns them acclaim, while detractors employ a double-standard and label the same action by a Pit Bull a "vicious attack".
This is not meant as an indictment of the attack breeds. Organizations, such as military and police agencies, train and rely on attack dogs. In some cases they kill people.
These organizations usually select one of the powerful attack breeds which show a natural inclination to attack.
Although Pit Bulls are stronger pound-for-pound than any other breed, I do not know of any military or police agency that uses Pit Bulls on a regular basis.
The reason: Pit Bulls have a history of being very friendly toward people, a characteristic not considered compatible with attack work.
Admittedly, not all Pit Bulls exhibit the traditional friendly temperament, just as some of the attack breeds will not attack. However, these are the exception and not the rule, and they are considered culls by responsible breeder.
It is commonly known in Pit Bull lore that any dog exhibiting an aggressive attitude toward people was put to sleep - culled. The developing breeders of Pit Bulls traditionally regarded man-biters as curs, meaning they did not possess the most important characteristic for which they were being bred, gameness.
People biting was and is considered a cowardly and unstable characteristic, not to be tolerated.
Further, due to the spirited personality of the Pit Bull, it was not allowed to run loose or kennel with other dogs.
This necessitated a closer relationship between the Pit Bull and its owner. Through selective breeding, a bond has been developed to a depth rarely formed between Man and Animal.
Sadly, because of the exaggerated media coverage, a market exists for culls, which enables opportunists to cash in at the expense of the Pit Bull's reputation.
To illustrate the influence "humane" inspired breeders have had on the breed, let us examine the size and character of today's ill-bred Pit Bulls.
It is a generally accepted theory that the Pit-Bull was produced by cross-matching ten to fifteen Rat Terriers with twenty-five to forty-five pound English Bulldogs, generally resulting in a dog weighing twenty to forty-five pounds. This size held for one hundred, fifty years.
Now check the size of today's ill-bred Pit Bulls, accused of attacking people.
Incredibly, within the short span of twelve years, Pit Bulls are being marketed on the premise that Big is Better. Not infrequently we find dogs weighing upwards of one-hundred-fifty pounds.
What a tragic mutation of a great breed brought about by self-serving prevaricators masquerading as crusaders for animal rights.
There is an old saying, "Liars and cheats go together". Not once in the interest of good journalism has the news media required humane leaders to furnish proof of their inflammatory accusations against Pit Bulls and their owners.
Humane leaders have been allowed to hide behind a mask of deception, soaking up free slanted media coverage, while deliberately exploiting a concerned and misinformed public.
The dilemma of the Pit Bull was brought about, in part, because it is the exact opposite of a liar and cheat. A truly game Pit Bull can be likened to a truly honest man. From his inception he has faithfully and unconditionally demonstrated his willingness to lay down his life in defense of his master.
This kind of honesty and courage perplexes pansies, liars, and self-serving cheats, and defies nature, itself, as the foremost instinct of all animals is survival.
The Pit Bull's fighting ability and gameness have in recent times been used to depict him as a crazed, blood-thirsty killer. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Instead, these attributes exemplify the qualities that made the founding pioneers of this once great country stand out from all other nations, when a handful of game, fighting patriots faced the seemingly invincible British army and prevailed.
How fitting that the Pit Bull's name includes the title American. If the Pit Bull were human with these attributes, he would be heralded as a World Champion. As a true champion is self-assured and not given to unprovoked attacks, so too is the Pit Bull.
Why Me?
The self-serving interests of humane leaders has been responsible for policies and legislation which in many instances prevents any Pit Bull from being adopted should it have the misfortune to be taken to an animal shelter - for any reason. The Pit Bull is condemned to death without having done anything wrong.
WHY ME? Because humane leaders have found an emotionally effective vehicle by which to justify their continual monetary exploitation of a misinformed public. Just as jackals are known to attack and devour defenseless prey, so also have humane leaders moved against the Pit Bull.
In addition, they are actively attempting to legislate the Pit Bull out of existence by exerting pressure on judges and legislators while intentionally supplying them false and undocumented information.
Financial Interests
Humane leaders have rejected the Pit Bull, not for lack of loyalty or devotion to man, but rather to further their own financial interests.
The symbol and integrity of the Pit Bull's character has brought him into sharp contrast with influential foes steeped in unholy compromise and questionable values.
Other beware! If they are successful in this unwholesome attempt, who or what will fall victim to their next money raising scheme?
Organizations which kill millions of animals each year, while claiming to be Humane groups, are as absurd as tyrannical dictators justifying genocide by claiming to be compassionate and concerned with overpopulation.
They would be laughable if the outcome of their actions were not so disastrous.
Stop the Money!
Please, lest the blood of innocent animals haunt you, don't contribute to this lunacy with donations which serve to fuel the opportunists' greed.
Together let's put an end to these shrewd money raisers, raping concerned citizens with lies and distortions, which corrupt our logic and bastardize our most basic value system.
Take the profit out of killing Pit Bulls and watch the emphasis conveniently change to another money producing cause!
