Is it animal cruelty if i simply do not get a pitbull? If a group of people dont get one? At what point does it become cruel to breed less and less pitbulls?
- Pretty sure that's the opposite of cruelty mate. Dogs need a loving home and if you can't take care of it then we shouldn't make more. More people should spay and neuter but they don't.
  
  So lets stop breeding them
  
  I'm not breeding them their dogs they fuck.
  
  People need to spay or neuter their animals.
  
  Me who lives in a part of the country with wild dog packs: yes, that would be nice.
