Ah, Liberty County...it's the Riviera of Texas, only with the KKK and pit bull farms:
Authorities are seizing about 300 pit bull terriers from a suspected dogfighting ring based at a Liberty County residence where a fatal home invasion occurred last week.
Liberty County sheriff's deputies, Harris County Pct. 6 deputy constables and Houston Humane Society officials are at the site now at 2218 County Road 2252 in Cleveland.
The dogs, some left in outdoor kennels, are believed to have been bred for illegal dogfighting.
It's great that they have to qualify "dogfighting" with "illegal." Of course, in the great state of Texas, the same modifier could also apply to "consensual oral sex" and "putting a gnome on your lawn."
In certain neighborhoods, that is.
A Humane Society official said the seizure is a huge operation.
The dogs will have to be placed in individual crates for transportation because of the danger that they could attack each other if transported together, she said.
They will be brought to the organization's facility on Almeda Road on Houston's south side, she said.
Where I'm sure they'll get along famously with all the other animals being held there. Seriously, the people who perpetrated the crime in the first place would've been doing a greater service by just shooting the dogs.
pit bulls get a bad rap - my dad has had 2 in the last 10 years and they’re the sweetest, lovable and fun loving companions you could ever ask for. granted, they’re strong and you’ve got to be strong to keep up with their horseplay, but they’re also very intelligent and my dad’s 2 dogs learned very quickly that “oww!” and “no bite” meant don’t hurt anyone. every time i go visit my dad, i get a few bruises from pit bull excitement (they’re pure muscle and they like to wiggle! it’s hysterical - except when they try to climb in your lap! haha)…they just love people so much and want to be close to us.
on the other hand, these poor 300 dogs have learned the hard way not to trust humans and it would be a kindness to put them down (as WELL as the foul beings that trained them to be killers!!)as they now are a menace to every creature that comes in to contact with them. really pisses me off when lowlifes screw things up for everybody and everything around them.
Shoot the dogs? How about shooting their owners? Sound a little drastic? If they belong, as you imply, to the KKK and are passing along all that warm fuzzy white supremacy bs to their children, it would be doing a favor for the rest of us.
