Encyclopedia Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Murder of the Innocent By: Encyclopedia Here I am, Here is ther place. And there's the table Where they wipe out my race. What is it that people Have against me? Why do they do this? Please just let me free. Millions were before me, And many more will come soon. Why do they always take us To the dark, damp room? Nobody wants us And that is not right. So what if our first use Included dog fights. This isn't fair to me. I don't know what I did wrong. The murder of Innocents has gone on too long. Here comes the needle, And even though I pull, This shelter along with many has killed another innocent Pit Bull. Everyday, thousands of Pit Bulls who are perfectly capable of getting good homes are euthanized just because the shelter doesn't allow the breed to be adopted out. Quote

Guest Anonymous Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 Very nice. it captures the innocent nature of the dog and the kind of wraps you in to the last line. i like it a lot. Quote
Prairie_Gurl Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 very nice very sad very true Did you make that yourself? It's very good. Quote
Encyclopedia Posted April 20, 2003 Author Posted April 20, 2003 Yes I made it myself. It took about 30 minutes, but as I looked back at the un-neccesary (SP?) killings of this wonderful breed, it came faster than I planned. I am glad you like it. There are sites on the internet where you can post your own poes, and I think I'll post this one up one day. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted April 20, 2003 Posted April 20, 2003 this is very true. i believe if people would get to know the breed they would realize just how wonderful they really are. Quote
Prairie_Gurl Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Good job on the poem then!! I've wrote a few poems... don't know if they're any good or not though. I think I'm too sceptical... I always go back and change something or other. Maybe I'll post one here someday (if I ever stop changing them). Quote
Prairie_Gurl Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 I watch Animal Cops sometimes... sad show. But it's kinda kewl to see some of these people get busted. I'll have to post my poem... Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 When my boyfriend and I decided on getting a dog, he wanted a Pit Bull but I wanted a Chihuahua. Of course, total opposite! I was scared at first b/c of the rumors and stories. But I agreed any we got Taz the Pit Bull. I am so HAPPY with Taz b/c Pit Bulls are really affectionate and smart. I couldn't ask for anything better!!! Keli Quote
ellieangel Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Great poem :D I watch Animal cops too :wink: Quote
Peng1zrule Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 I'll never forget the episode of animal cops when they confiscated a fighter's dogs. There was a six month old pup in the mix, and the vet tech was crying silently as she carried him to back room. (capitalize that: The Back Room) the puppy licked the tears off her face, over and over, washing her face as she carried him to his early demise. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 I saw that one.... :cry: That poem is very sad but so true to life. Do you mind if I cross post it? Ugh I don't know why I am sharing these this you, but here's a BSL poem I wrote.... I heard my Mommy crying today and my Daddy too, I Quote
ellieangel Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Wow !! those poems are brilliant PP :) Quote
abker17 Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Yes, they're great! :D I really like the first one! :D Quote
Guest Mutts4Me Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 I know the Michigan Humane Society's policy on pits is harsh and very, very sad, but they do it to protect the dogs from falling into the wrong hands, because Detroit has a huge, huge problem with dog fighting, which is evident in every single episode of Animal Cops. They figure a quick, humane death is better than falling into the wrong hands and being used to fight or as bait. Though I saw one episode not too long ago where they rescued a litter of mixed breed puppies, and they determined them to be part pit. But instead of euthanizing as policy would call for, they called a rescue group to take the puppies and give them the special attention they'd need to be good, socialized family pets. I almost cried with relief, because as soon as they said the puppies were part pit, I got this icy feeling in my chest. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 As much as seeing them putting all Pit Bulls directly to sleep, I would rather that happen...then the dog being used for fighting. But in a perfect world the ones that would make good family pets, should be given a second chance...in a rescue or another shelter with a different policy. Thanks Abker and Ellie! :oops: Quote
GIXXSTER Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 I originally wanted to get a newfinland but when I saw this little APBT pup of just 12 weeks old I fell in love with it and get him fast. Now there is no other dog I'd rather have then an American Pitbull Terrier. Quote
