Pit bulls are the most amazing breed. Beautiful. Loyal. Protective. Playful. Funny. Fun. Loving. Sensitive. Memphis is shameful.

This makes me SICK. So does the story about all of the pit bulls found dead in a ditch after being abused. I will NEVER visit Memphis. It sounds like such horrible place with rampant dog fighting abuse allowed to go unchecked. The story of the dogs in the ditch says that they were not all dumped at once, but at different times. Really? You bastards really can't find the people dumping them? Does nobody in your God-forsaken town care enough to WATCH and punish these criminals? I can't imagine the horror for the poor dogs. Pit bulls are the most loving adoring breed ever.

With a mentality like that, can Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, the homeless, the handicapped, and the elderly, be far behind? We've been down that road before...

When will the world stop the ignorance? Saying "kill all pit bulls or anything that looks like a pit bull" is like saying kill all people that happen to look like the most recent serial killer. "Oh, that serial killer was a white male with blue eyes? Better kill all white males with blue eyes then" Seriously, educate yourselves!

I am a former skeptic in regard to the Pit Bull breed. I want to let you know that your view on the breed is exceedingly narrow-minded. I suggest you educate yourself, as it is embarrassingly apparent that you are lacking in knowledge about Pit Bulls, perhaps even lacking knowledge about dogs in general. I am an admirer of those who have put forth the effort to inform/educate the public and in turn help to rescue Pit Bulls that have been unnecessarily abused and mistreated. Your statements are ignorant, as are you.
