1. I can't believe what I just read.......

~Tanya Holland, who raises pit bulls in Florida, said that animal-rights activists had misrepresented the events.

The hogs, she said, are removed from the pen quickly and given time to recuperate before the next event; the powerful animals "do put up a fight" and squeal loudly, Holland said, but generally are not seriously injured.

"If you could see the energy in the dog and see how much they enjoy working," said Holland, 32, a veterinary technician. "I know how much my dogs like catching that pig for me."

This coming from a veterinary technician??? Sickening, just sickening.
The couple in Arizona had their children placed in Social services. What a sad mess, all around :mad:

On edit:
Do you think Ms. Vet Tech would mind if I threw her in a pen and let a feral pit bull have it's way with her, if I pull her out before she's seriously injured, that is?

2. Exactly. Thats how i feel about hunters too. Give the Bear a gun.

These people are shit. No respect for life. No sense of being a custodian of weaker creatures.
