Well good. Maybe they can find these dogs a good home. Luckily these dogs didn't attack someone. You all want to know why druggies get Pits? Huh? It's because Pits intimidate people. I mean, with all of the rumors about how Pits are aggressive and vicious killers, who wants to go to a house that has Pit Bulls. I agree with the person that said "if you want a pit bull that is fine, but keep them in YOUR yard." I have a Pit. but I keep him in MY yard. He goes on walks ON A leash. If drug dealers chose to keep Labs and make them vicious and all you hear about in the news was how a Lab killed this person or that person, You would be saying the same thing you are now. Labs are no good vicious dogs. Labs should be wiped clean of this earth. So, just think about what cruel people has done to this wonderful breed. Yes they may be animal aggressive but a true Pit will never ever be human aggressive. That is the reason they are used in dogfighting. The people need to get into the ring.

Maybe if people would stop USING the drugs, then there would be no need for DRUG DEALERS. Get a clue people. You don't need to be mad at the people that are cashing in on those that would rather spend their checks on drugs then on taking care of their families. I'm sure everyone posting negative things on here knows some one using drugs that they need to stage an intervention on.
