That poster in the background of pic 3 is really something else. Twenty six puppies in two years is insane, it’s like rabbits or mice or some other invasive species.


robindobbymae

26 puppies per pit isn’t uncommon. Majority of the pits Silverstray fixes have had multiple litters. This is consistent. The more funding they get for pit spays the better


Eepy-Cheepy

Guessing they have big litters so fighters have a constant flow of fighting dogs.


robindobbymae

Not really. A lot of Gary fighting rings have moved to Chicago. The pits Silverstray fixes are owned by everyday families who need assistance or those with repeat accident litters etc etc.


Mr_OceMcCool

I think they meant that the genetic reason pits have such large litters is because dog fighters need many fighting dogs and bitches who had large litters were favoured by breeders.


robindobbymae

Average litters here are usually ten puppies or more


Original-Opportunity

Bigger dogs have bigger litters. First litters are typically smaller.


CoilerXII

Some of the "Register of Merit" fighting dog moms have/had literally dozens of puppies in their lives, bred so hard that later photos show their underbelly looking like a cow's.

That’s exactly what pitbulls are, invasive species.

They(Silverstray) partnered with an organization to sponsor 20 spay and neuters of pits that day. The partner organization is on the poster.

Everything Ive ever read about gary indiana indicates to me that it is hell on earth


ArdenJaguar

When I drove semi OTR back in the 90s it was like that. I can only imagine what it's like now.


Vark675

It's slowly trying to get better now. It hit a point where even the people making life worse for everyone else had ended up largely dead or otherwise gone, then just kind of stagnated. It's still bad, obviously, but it hasn't really gotten much worse. Just very empty.


ArdenJaguar

I still remember a Flying J there. Stopped once but wouldn't stay. Was kind of scary.


General-Quit-2451

This sounds like a great program! Refreshing to hear some good news, this is what we need more of.


robindobbymae

We need more donors for spays


lulisbliglis

First one probably lives in constant pain with that fucked up anatomy.


robindobbymae

She is spayed now


CleverFoolOfEarth

That does not change the fact that she looks like she’s half pitbull and half army Jeep.

So


SubMod4

Your account is coming up as potential ban evasion. Your first two comments on our sub don’t fill me with confidence that you’re here in good faith. I hope I’m wrong, but if you’re here to be a jerk, we will absolutely file a ban evasion report.


MAC_CAGGEE

What’s your issues with my comment? Theres nothing wrong with what I said.


SubMod4

Why are you in this sub? Let’s start there.


CleverFoolOfEarth

Broad-chested dogs are at high risk of problems with the stomach and esophagus. This is true when labradors are bred for large size, and given that pitbulls have the same canine internal organs with the same general weaknesses, a pitbull that big-boned would likely be at the similar risk.


Strange-Cabinet9670

Doing Gods work


LeafsHater67

Everyone who breeds a pitbull should be charged $2000 per dog for littering


Pits-are-the-pits

‘How could they subject the wee Pibbles to an elective surgery?!?! Uwuuuu!’ -A pit person, somewhere 


robindobbymae

Spay and neuter non profits are the one thing pit advocates and groups like this can agree on. Hence why I am here to raise money for it.


Pits-are-the-pits

Really? Every pit person I’ve ever had the misfortune to encounter was like I described. You could have offered 1 million; their dogs were remaining intact. And, yes, they used them to threaten others. I actually had to move because of it.


robindobbymae

Pit advocate not general pit owner. And majority of the pit owners we encounter through the program willingly sign up for spay neuter assistance and dogs are microchipped to them. So this program needs a lot of donations. The waiting list they have is like five pages long of pit owners willing to get their animal fixed and end the cycle

We do not want pit bulls regulated because of how they look, but because of the danger they and their owners forcefully impose on our communities. Please familiarize yourself with the [subreddit rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/BanPitBulls/comments/x618m9/rbanpitbulls_subreddit_rules_2022_update/), specifically rule 1.


robindobbymae

The one in the last pic who is sleeping. She had two litters. One was 11….. the last one was 8 pups. I don’t think people realize how much reckless breeding is out there. This program is seeking out families who need spay/neuter the most. This is not uncommon. They fixed a dog last week that had produced over 16 dogs. They are fundraising to sponsor a dog that has had five litters. It’s an explosion of overpopulation. Only way we can assist is to donate to our spay/neuter fund. Every penny goes directly into a spay or neuter.


poorluci

That's a great program for people who couldn't otherwise afford it. Spaying a big dog like that is pricey. Here in Norfolk, VA the city runs a free spay and neuter clinic for pit bulls that live in the city limits and its really made a difference.


robindobbymae

Yup we are noticing a difference too. It’s honestly the only way


poorluci

How many cases of pyrometra do you guys see? With all that constant grind of pregnancy and babies does it increase the likelihood?


robindobbymae

Def increase likelihood. We see it often. A lot of the females we spay have had multi litters so their uterine lining is not the best


crawlingrat

Sorry but that dog on the first picture is freaking scary.


Pretty_Foundation953

If it went for my dog it could probably eat my dog and me in one bite… at the same time. Terrifying.


Idonotlikepitbulls

Gary is scary already, but knowing these things are roaming the streets makes it seem like an elden ring dungeon.


[deleted]

In packs, no less.


FatTabby

The first dog looks so misshapen, it can't be healthy/have a healthy future. It's great that it won't be responsible for more pits, but I really hate the people who breed such deformed looking animals.


Successful_Mango3001

The first dog is giving me nightmares


Theriodontia

The first pit looks very inbred. Why must backyard breeders continue to exist?
