The Vick dogs were taken into a rescue that had the time, money, and educated people to work with them. This is not always the case for local Humane Societies and ABPT rescues. Many people may think they're doing the right thing, when they could be making it worse - Many people within local Humane Societies are volunteers and are not fully aware of how to deal with possibly aggressive dogs.

I am a resident who lives not far from Detroit - I cross over 8 Mile and I'm there. I go down the street to a local pet store, and the "for sale" board is littered with ads for puppies and studs available - all of which have been bred for an obvious purpose. I've even taken my dog into this store, and have been confronted with aggressive, unaltered males. This is the sad truth of the area. And even though we fight to prevent BSL, part of me agrees that it's safer for the dogs, shelters, and rescues if some of these dogs were euthanized, instead of being handled incorrectly or placed into unsafe homes.

So I guess I'm confused. Michael Vicks dogs were all fighitng dogs correct but some have been adopted out???

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Also if pitbulls are seized from a fighting situation are all usually euthanized even the younge dogs say 6 monthes?? and dogs without any scarring?
