Stray pit bulls can be seen wandering the streets of southern Dallas.

Also Online David Schechter reports Dallas police bust dog fights



DALLAS - Five dogs confiscated late Tuesday night after police said they were in the midst of a dog fight will soon face being put down, and it is just the tip of what many in the Dallas community have called a rising problem.

A long-time community leader in southern Dallas County and a candidate for city council, Dwaine Caraway says people are now using pit bulls to appear tough and also as status symbols. But he said that can turn deadly.

"Once this type of dog gets a hold to you and the jaws clamp to you, it's just over," he said.

Unfortunatly, Caraway said it has become an all too familiar sight.

"We can take a ride around and see pit bulls everywhere," he said.

On a short drive through Caraway's community, stray dogs were seen on nearly every block. Many of the dogs spotted were pit bulls most likely released because they were not tough enough to fight to the death or just too hard to care for.

"I don't ever know what happened to Lassie; but Lassie exists no more," he said.

Stray pit bulls and dog fights are not just a problem in the Southern Sector. Employees at the SPCA of Texas said pit bull treatment is a problem on the rise.

"We have a dog that really is lost in today's society," James Bias, SPCA of Texas.

Stanley Farrar, Jr., the confiscated dog's owner, was charged with cruelty to animals and fighting dogs.

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

Again, mistaking an animal control problem for a "Pitbull" problem. How does banning MY CGC/TDI, well cared for dog help solve the problem of some thug wanna-be dumping their dog. The people who are guilty of a crime in this case have already committed several crimes prior to the dog ending up a stray. So the answer is to ban my well cared for Pet?



You get politicians who want to appear to be "doing something" about the disintegration of society that is so visible in too many neighborhoods and Pitbulls become a convenient scapegoat.

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

I've been in (East) Dallas and it is very scary... I was there to help out an elderly woman who rescues dog fight losers. They are usually left to die in the street with bad injuries or to roam around causing trouble. There are so many strays running around its unbelievable.

Every other home is a drug dealer's and they usually have "pit bulls." You know, not APBTS, but curs that they want to be human aggressive. :mad:

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

I live not too far from south dallas. No offense, but its not the best part of town with a lot of crime. Theres a lot of BYB's breeding these dogs so they can have a "bad ass" pit bull to look tough with. And yeah, they do run around loose a lot over there. It's the kids and thugs that are creating the problem. All of those loose dogs should be put down as soon as the AC picks them up, no questions asked.

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

Unfortunately, that's a good idea Jake. That is what Memphis does, reason why AC is lenient.

3 days, and that's it. If you didn't pick your dog up by then, say bye bye.

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

Its a problem that's never gonna get lose from the breed. Maybe it changes to a nother breed. Because of the things written in the newspapers and said on the TV news etc. these dogs are in big interest with people that can't even care for their own. So how can we axpect that they can care for a dog that's bred no good in a basement by someone who only want to make money from the breedings. These dogs have double problem a bad owner and bad genetics.

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

seems as though you're not a whole lot better than the idiots doing the fighting if you keep going back. . it's like a dumbass on crack........just gotta keep gong back for more. wtf is wrong with you?

"We have a dog that really is lost in today's society," James Bias, SPCA of Texas.
How true!! This breed is lost because jerks took away their reason for being, what they were bred for, a long time ago.......it was not such a problem when sport was legal. What was once acceptable is now frowned upon by most of society, they've been lead to believe it's the utmost of cruelty. By making something illegal, it attracts more criminals to it. What a sad state we're in.......

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

You dont know what these strays get up to after they are dumped/escaped.
Maybe they get dumpped then fight with other strays then die on the street?

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

Who is this directed at?



ChAnimal, how is that any different than what I said? lol

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

Gee, I wonder why it's a problem in South Dallas. That part of town is full of problems. And the dogfighting is'nt the only felonies most of them commit on a daily basis. I'll just stop know before I piss someone off, because this just gets me going.

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

I absolutly agree....

For those that do live in North Texas ....Know that this is not just a south Dallas problem. Look at Northside and stop6 how bout komo. Any Racial profiling that these folks are subjected to is brought upon them selves. I wont give them the out of being Ignorant....these folks know the difference they just dont give a F%ck!

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

Good post!!!! I would give you some rep points for that one!!!

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

Its quite different.

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

How so? Seriously. I'm not trying to be a smartass or anything...

Bottom line is no matter why they're dumped or what they're doing after that, they are a problem ...and it all stems from stupid (or ignorant) people who shouldn't even have dogs in the first place.

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

I agree. ALL of those places have high crime rates and yeah, they don't care either which way as long as they "look cool" with thier bad ass "pitbull" with them. Most end up loose or in a city AC. But ignorance is a problem. Thats why I stress euthing the dogs as soon as they are brought in. And if the owners are caught they need to be fined at the least. If they get hit in the pocket or loose an anmial something might sink in to these peoples thick skulls.

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

this was directed at lethalpits. he stated that he attended underground dog fights in his area. then talked all down about what happened there. then stated he went to some more of them. now the original post is magically disappeared. it was included in my reply to it and it isn't there either. how does a post disappear off of a thread? you call somebody out who is a moron going to street dog fighting with garbage dogs and then they can just go delete what they said.

edit: i guess what he did was edit his post and make it say something else now. but how does the original post of what he said disappear off of my post when i included it in my reply?

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

Probably because it was deleted by a moderator for a reason ----------. edit.
Trying to be reasonable with ya here Boogie boy.

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

The only reason the breed is "lost in today's society" is because not enough people care to give him a worthy job. Some dogs are happy on the couch, and that's fine. But don't expect him to just sit there and work out the rules all by himself. Train him, put him to work, keep him out of trouble. Its the uninformed owners who are lost; the dogs are fine.

 

Re: "Pit Bull Fight Bust Highlights Rising Problem"

I agree with the immediate Euth . I dont like strays, no matter what breed. All of them are trouble. They are unwanted anyhow, I am sure downbred, so get a box of .22 bullets and a piece of paper from AC, and keep a tally on how many you drop, and maybe get 5 bucks a head. Save tax payers money, trouble, and all. Better for the dogs also. Either that or gather them up, put them on that island that the PETA has, cut em loose, and let em get after all the other wild domesticated mutts that are there. Either way, that right there is an issue that needs to be dealt with, and quick!
