Wise Old Thumper
I am a staffie with a label. It's a label my new owners have given me..it is "gorgeous" 
I was unwanted and taken to a pound where my time was up. Luckily a rescue saved me and found me a home where I am loved and spoilt.
but for that lucky twist of fate my story could be very different.
Many of my kind are taken and taught to fight and tear each other. They are often beaten and starved to make them more desperate. They are rewarded for aggressive behaviour. They learn that every living thing is an enemy and fear walks with them.
When they are too badly injured or refuse to fight they too, like me, are dumped and end up in a pound. Sadly there are many of my kind in pounds and these poor abused dogs do what they have been taught to do, show aggression. A one way trip to the vet is their final reward for their mis-treatment.
And all of my breed get labelled vicious.
Yet I have heard humans pay money to see us tear each other apart, they pay money to see other dogs rip up badgers and foxes, they pay money to see men torture bulls to death, they pay money to pull fish out of water until they struggle and gasp in pain then put them back so others can do this time and time again, they pay money to wear the fur of rare animals who have often been skinned while still alive, they pay money to see some of their own kind hit and punch each other in huge arenas, some pay money to secretly torture human young.
But we are the ones labelled nasty
