Personally I would be more concerned with *used* breaking sticks
What about breaking sticks that just LOOK used? I have mentioned before that I used to have a dog aggressive APBT. I had a breaking stick for her, just in case. She never got in a fight (no thanks to her) but, since she always carried the stick on our walks, it certainly looked well used. [

What many people here don't realize, or apparently don't realize, is that there is another side of pit bull owners. A darker side, if you will. Notice I said another side of pit bull owners, NOT another side of pit bull ownership. This darker side of pit bull owners believe, as many Border Collie owners do, that pit bulls should be bred for what they can do, not how they look. Their arguement is not without merit, to me.
I don't think this guy's site promotes fighting. I think it promotes game bred pit bulls. Although his site doesn't promote the breed the way I would like to see it promoted, I really didn't see anything there that I objected to, per se. Like I said, he and many other pit bull owners, are about game bred dogs and not about dogs who are bred to some appearance standard. Far be it from me to say he is wrong. He is just different from me.
There are ways you can become informed on game bred dogs, if you have any interest. There are books, magazines and there are internet sites. There are breeders you can contact. There are, to be sure, people who hog, people who bear bait, and people who fight their dogs. You can find them all, right there from the comfort of your own home, and ask them questions. They might look at dog ownership differently than we do, but I won't say they are ALL bad people because of that.
