ive been reading the topic about defending dog fighting and just thought i would ask a question with a different angle on it.
im new here so i dont mean to jump in head first with a load of pro dog matching i realise and accept that for 90 % of the population it is wrong
BUT
in this decision making of right and wrong has anybody stopped to think of the poor dogs ? i mean would you stop a greyhound from running ?

im going to use ch jeep as the example as he is possibly the most well known dog in the history of the breed.but i am talking about any game bred apbt.

ok.we as owners dictate what our dog does for enjoyment.what he eats.where he visits.who he meets.it is all OUR CHOICE.

so my question is this = if ch.jeep could have made the choices instead of his owner do you think he would have

A.worked hard trained to the peak of physical fitness and fought a succesful career in the pit with an owner he loved ?
or
B.spent a lifetime on the couch eating burgers and watching tv going for park walks with an owner he loved ?

we always here how selfish a dog matcher is.but who really is the selfish one ?
i hope this question doesnt cause offence i just find the way people view these dogs interesting and maybe it will get some people thinking.
