Question about temperament in pitts

For the most part, I try to stay away from these HOT topics but, here lately I have been seeing a couple things that are a little uneasy for the most part and I thought I would give another perspective....

Some of us need to realize that some things that use to be accepted or not thought of in such a bad light just isnt the case anymore. Dog fighters are called scum bags. Chicken fighters are called scum bags. Some deer doggers in Tx are called scum bags and unethical hunters. Guess What....Hog doggers sometimes get called scum bags too.

The only difference between all the things I listed above is that hog doggers can still enjoy their weekend hobby for some, way of life for others, or passion legally, but the others were all legal and accepted at one time also, the same as we accept hog dogging and want other people to accept it. It may be suprising to some of us, but chicken fighting was legal , not that long ago. Alot of people thought deer dogging would never be outlawed, but it happened. I hope hog dooging never becomes illegal but with some of the idiots these days giving us such a bad rap. We may fall out of the favor of the public also. Thats really the importance of why you have to be careful of what you post on the WWW.

People brought their families to watch dog matches and chicken fights, just like we take ours to a bay trial. Again it was different times and a different way of thinking, we have to realize that some of it was as accepted as hog dogging is to us today.

Sometimes I asked myself, how long before hog dogging isn't accepted anymore and we have to become criminals to keep doing what we love to do.

Every group above has it's bad apples who give them a bad name. The ones who tresspass, do not take care or their animals, brag about how ruthlessly they cull, do not give their animals proper medical attention, those are the ones giving us a bad name and those are the ones that I would call scum bags...
