    You're the one talking bolllox, these dogs are not trained to kill they are bred for it. There's no rubbing blood on them or setting them on pet puppies to turn them into killers, the dogs are not forced to fight either. With all due respect, dog matching was rife with the southern softies too so it's not just a northern thing. The last people I'd listen to for advice is the powers that be.

    You're the one that's getting hot under the collar petal, maybe you should join Greenpiece??

    Not necessarily, how do you work that out? Culling is a method used for many of working dog breeds, fact!

    Do you think that if a dog decides it doesn't fancy it, it can just tap out and the other dog says "Alright mate, good fight, all the best with your future endeavours"?

    You really don't have a clue what you're talking about sir, go read up on it before typing nonsense.

    I have read up on it. And I have witnessed firsthand what happens to the bait dogs you deny even exist. Your alternative understanding of dog-fighting, on the other hand, I have only ever encountered from you. It's the kind of embarrassingly flimsy apologetics I imagine could only be put forward by either 1) a McClellan fanboy or 2) someone who actual pits dogs against each other. I sincerely hope it's the former.

    No I don't deny it exists but any serious dogman wouldn't dream of doing such an absurd practice and that is a fact.

    To be fair, I'm guessing 99% of the old-timer English prizefighters loved a bit of dog-fighting, and bull baiting if they could get it.

    In Queensberry rules era, I think it was probably one of more common pursuits among fighting men up until the '30s or '40s at least.

    McClellan was a bit late in the day perhaps.

    Jack Dempsey owned some pit bulls.
    I wouldn't be surprised if they were fighters.

    Not just Jack Dempsey, so did Mcvey's hero Jack Johnson. He owned dogs from the then famous Colby strain,I'd put money down that he was involved in dogfighting at some point in his life.

    It's called progress. In much the same way as the " civilised " world no longer has kids cleaning chimneys from the inside, or drowns women considered to be witches. Like I said why don't these sick fuks who support dog fighting go on demonstrations like the country side alliance did regarding fox hunting?

    As for this old bollox about the dogs, aren't TRAINED to kill they are simply BRED for it that just proves one thing.

    Fact.

    There is no such thing as a bad dog, just bad dog owners, and breeders. Which is why if they are caught the courts confiscate the dogs, and stop the weirdo's keeping dogs for a certain amount of years.

    And rightly so.

    That judgement is the case brought by Emanuel Steward and John Davimos (McClellan's former trainer and his former manager).

    $119,279.35.

    They sued to collect payment they said was owed to them from the fight (because McClellan dropped them) while McClellan was in a coma. And they got paid.

    Thanks for posting.:thumbsup

    Yeah it's called progress yet in one of the worlds most civilised countries Japan, dogfighting is still legal and highly respected....

    And you talk bollox and no nothing of the breed, the dogs are bred for it FACT!! And because a dog fights this automatically makes it bad? Does this correlate to humans as well? Plenty of champion Pitbulls are big softies and are even fine with other dogs when at home and out and about, they don't kill everything in sight.
