After watching, I have to say I disagree with this film. Yes, it's horrific and saddening what those dogs are put through, but the points it's trying to make are incorrect.

Pitbulls are not allowed to be kept as pets here anymore under the Dangerous Dogs Act for very good reason. They are vicious dogs, and it is by their nature. Yes, there are always exceptions as every dog has its own personality, but different breeds of dogs do generally have different general thresholds of viciousness, hence the "Dangerous Dogs Act" - some breeds are more dangerous than others. I don't see what the film was trying tp prove by saying "Look at what their kind is forced to endure". That is not a reason for their viciousness, unless it's trying to say pit bulls can suddenly somehow watch the video and understand what is happening. Pit bulls, like any other dog, are ignorant to anything outside their own home vicinity, so their point is moot.

Yes it's horrific that they're pitting the dogs against each other, but this sadly is not something new. Cock fights, bear fights and many other animals are still subject to fight each other for the sake of "entertainment" and money.

Well you feel as you do, and that's understandable but I agree with the video. Show the animal more kindness, and it would HELP to know the animal before owning it as a pet for different pets require different needs, and everything has different things that make them 'tick.' My mother used to have one has a pet, and she's never once told me it turned on her.
