Like every dog they are vulnerable to homelessness and mistreatment. Michael Vick, whose unearthed gambling operation was found to not only force dogs to fight, but also kill under-performing dogs in twisted ways, is only one story in a mass of untold stories. As a breed, pit bulls have a bad rap.

We want to see the tiger!"
