Take the rose-colored glasses off.

If you check your history, the bulldog game was never an "honest man's" sport ... it has always been a sport for thugs and riffraff.

How did Eli get stolen from Junior B, if the sport was filled with "honest" men?

How did Molly B get stolen?

How did Art get stolen?

How did Bolio get stolen?

How did Don Maloney get shot? (Remember the reason?)

How did Bert Clouse get the stolen Patrick's Tater back?

If Bert was a "gentleman," why did he receive the stolen Tater and then match the old, toothless dog and just watch him die trying?

Tudor/Carver? Thugs, pimps, bootleggers, thieves (with Tudor a murderer and Carver a liar/paper-hanger).

Indian Sonny/Patrick? Liars/Thieves/Conmen/Paper-hangers.

Hell, I could go on for hours

My whole point is WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE

The sport of dogs was always for riffraff

At one point, it was sanctioned by The Police Gazette and the UKC, but that was a VERY brief moment in the overall history of the game.

And, I agree, it does get old after awhile ... even if you have a true passion for these dogs and WANT to do a good job raising/breeding them and keeping them competitive.

The truth is the ONLY "legally-safe" thing to do is obey the law.

Me, I haven't touched a dog since the end of 2007 ...

In closing, I will say that there are definitely SOME legit, good, basically-honest people in these dogs ... I'd say 2 out of every 100.

The rest are thugs, retards who can't spell, who do many other illegal acts, etc.

If you really think you are going to be "legally-safe" living in an environment like that ... well, you're just not very realistic.

PS: I never understood the often-repeated phrase, "Do right by the dogs."

Does that mean committing a good deed while standing next to a dog?
