Re: “Prada the Pitbull Escapes Death!”
I've owned several pits and I think there is reason for being cautious with the breed. Not because of innate viciousness but because of how the dog was raised. All of my pits had been used either for breeding and or fighting or in one case as a bait dog. Yet each dog was very sweet and friendly with people. The differences were in their behavior around other animals. My current pit Andy has a couple dozen scars on his face, neck and torso, and two bad knees though he is but 2 y/o. Yet he is happy, gets along with all people, dogs, cats and cares less about small animals. He wrestles with gusto at the dog park and has never reacted angrily. Duchess had been over bred and fought and was friendly with people. She liked other dogs as long as they didn't bump her or act aggressive. Then she would assert herself and fight. She would kill a squirrel or cat in a minute and I never broke her of her desire to kill small animals. She would also never go belly up even for me. I suspect she'd been strapped to a rape rack. I just learned where to take her and be responsible to advise any vet about wanting eat cats. We were together almost round the clock and had just one incident that happened at the dog park (we didn't return to the park). My first Pit, Faith had also been used as a bait dog and bred. She was fearful of men and didn't care for the company of other dogs, especially males. But she was polite, quiet, andnever a problem for me. Just took almost a year for her to start wagging her tail.
Point is this. I have learned pits have an enormous
Capacity to be loving toward people in spite of horrendous abuse. They are affected by mistreatment, of course, and sometimes I think thereally bad cases cannot be fixed and the dog must be put down. When dogs cannot be trusted with other dogs and with people they are suffering and it is cruel to merely keep it alive with no possibility of becoming social.
Pits were bred to fight and their bite is the strongest of all breeds. They can be strong-willed and so focused on getting to a squirrel or cat it is not possible to undo that attraction and hunting response. The most apparent attribute in Pits is their love for people, which is why they do not make good protection animals. I will always have at least one Pit. I am hooked.
Re: “The changing guard of white separatism convenes at a Tennessee state park”
I have followed AMREN for several years. It is, to my knowledge, the only organization that assesses racial differences objectively and reports the consequences of varying kinds of integration. Of course it promotes separatism, which is preferred by all racial groups as far as tell. I am white and prefer to live around other whites, not out of a feeling of superiority, but out of a desire to be among my own kind and (not insignificantly) live in relative freedom from gang related and all violent crime. Since blacks are proven to be many times more likely to commit violent crime, and both asian and hispanic gangs now compete for turf in all large cities, get me the hell to where I can live in peace and safety among other people who want the same.
I am not a racist. I don't think I am superior to any man, (all men are created equal under the law here) but I choose to geographically distance my home from areas of high crime and potential for violent crime. As has been documented by others contributing to this discussion, where there are blacks there will be much greater numbers of violent crime and crime overall. It ain't hate. - it's the truth.
