It's because dogs are a domestic animal.

So you saying any animal who are not considered domestic can be killed without a problem?

Well I will say this, deer that are shot go through much less suffering than a dog locked in a fight that can last for a very long time.

um.. its still not any better than killing a deer by shooting it in the head.

It isn't? If I had a choice between being choked slowly, killed by being slammed to the ground repeatedly, having chunks ripped out of me, or being shot in the head, I would take the last choice.

But that's just me. I'm not debating whether hunting is right or wrong, just saying that it's less cruel.

Yeah I guess all the deers out there running scared for their lives because a dumb a-hole hunter is out to kill them by putting a bullet in their head to eat them after its not that bad by your standards.

Better to be scared than tortured and mauled.

that was stupid to say. Im sorry but all you're saying is your condoning killing pitbulls but yet u think its ok to kill deers because its a sport and they are killed to be eaten. Just to even think killing a deer for a sport sounds really fVcked up and u say its better than to kill pitbulls. wow. whatever floats your boat.

Why do tall black men play basketball? there taught your tall play ball, same thing for pits people pre-judge them and kill and some people step on a court with a tall black guy and expect him to play like SHAQ. I have had ten pits in my life, and none of them have bitten anyone. Its a proven fact that Pits bite less than most dogs but they do the most damage because of there lock jaw, they bite and shake while others just bite, bite. Guess what dog has the most bites in nation? Chichua, they bite more than any dog, lil dogs bite the most.

It is truly sad when ignorant poeple say things just to try to look smart or make an argument or whatever your resoning is. Pittbulls are very strong animal specimens (the mix of a pitt terrier "the target dog" and an american boxer)
this dogs where originally desinged to hurdle cattle and spacially to handle the heavy dutty of hurdling bulls in farms, hence the name pittbull, if you have an argument about this been a powerfull animal than I would be on your side, that's the reason why if you own one of this animals you have to be a responsable person, if this dog is raced to do damage they could do it like no other dog, but if you race it like a pet and show it love and affection from a early age, this will be the most loyal, loving, and smart pet you will ever have, this dogs just like any dog in the planet like to play and fool around, from early stages you have to show them that it is not accepted for them to bite (this usually only takes one snuff in the nose the first time they try it and they wont do it again), I understand this dogs have a reputation becuase of irresponsable people who dont know or dont care the consenquenses of their actions, I personally had 2 pittbulls in my house at the same time and my nephew who was 4 at the time will play with them all day long, he would run with them wrestle with them punch them and not ever not even once did you hear any type of grawling, at the same time I aslo had a wire terrier which was a very small dog, and she was way more aggresive than them but they all got along perfectly, so please spare me of what you saw on "primer impacto" or spike tv or what ever BS you've been watching, get your facts together before you open your mouth, it makes you look very ignorant.

Owening a Pit in alot of way is like owening a gun. If you're a responsable person both could make you and your family feel protected, it could be recreational, etc... but both are extremly dangerous if mishandled, if you have a gun and you leave it out so that the neightboor's kids could play with it, you're risking some getting shot, if you abuse you're gun, chances are some one will get hurt, same with a pit, if you don't give this animal the respect it deserves by locking him or her out when people come over, you let it roam the street, you teach the dog hate, obviously it will become aggresive and since they're so powerful they will inflict alot of damage. Don is right when he says that smaller dogs attack more but since the damage they inflict is minimum they dont get as much a bad rep on the media. The only difference is that if treated correctly and with respect a pit could become part of the family and it will love you unconditionally ten times more than you love it, a gun just sits there a collects dust if everything goes right.

Yo I aint encouraging or supporting what my boy Vick did, or how Marbury said it, and yeah, dogs are domesticated animals that are man's best friend, and dog fighting is kind of cruel, but come on! Marbury's kinda right. Deers arent domesticated animals, but are still beautful, breathing animals that bleed just like dogs too, play like dogs do, and are peaceful just like most dogs are. So it's okay for old white guys to go out in the open and kill them to just hang their face on their wall, but Vick and his homeboys or whatever have a couple of dogs fighting, then they wanna throw a great football athlete in jail.

Give the guy a break. Throwing him in jail aint gonna bring them dead dogs back, so give him a fine and a warning. I mean, imagine you sittin' in a cell, over some damn dogs! I mean, I love dogs, they my favorite animals, but still, I dont think he deserve jail time over some dogs!

Yo and did you see Anderson Cooper's reaction to Marbury's commments, lol! It was priceless! He wanted to say something more, instead he just ends the segment with, "Wow, Stephon Marbury thinks dog fighting is a sport."

I wonder if they'd still throw him in jail for a c*ck-fight? I mean, people do eat chicken, you know what Im saying, so they gonna die anyways. Is that even illegal? Cuz I've been to a few of my chico Mexican homeboys houses, and they be having a c*ck fight every once and a while in the yard and ****.

Who is to decide which animals it's right to kill lol? Anderson Cooper is an *** because Marbury clearly said "from what I hear" but everyone wants to leave that part out and act like he's some expert dog fighter. He's speaking on the little knowledge he has on the issue. With that huge knick contract marbury is having no problem speaking out these days. Earlier he went after Jordan and Lebron for ther expensive shoes.

and the only way to stop their growing population is to execute them with a bullet to their head? fvck outta here. its still barbaric and wrong.

Stephon Marbury Insinuates That LeBron James Is a Clown
Posted Jul 22nd 2007 4:35AM by Marcel Mutoni
Filed under: Knicks, Cavaliers, Eastern, NBA Media Watch

For reasons only known to him, Stephon Marbury finds it necessary to repeatedly call out the NBA's golden child, LeBron James.

Back in March, after LeBron basically said that his Nikes were a higher-quality shoe than the Starburys that Marbury wears, Steph got upset and responded by saying that he'd rather be a (part) owner than be owned by a shoe company.

Two days ago, in the final entry on his NY Post blog, Stephon once again went after LeBron and mocked him for his performance at the ESPYs.
You want to make me the clown...I'm not the dude on the ESPYs, getting carried on a throne. I'm not him. I'm the good guy, not the bad guy. I don't want to be carried on the throne...I just want to walk among the people.
Burn! Knicks-Cavs games just got a whole lot more interesting, folks.

By the way, I highly recommend that you go and read all of Marbury's posts on his blog. You probably won't understand most of what he's talking about, but I promise that you will be entertained.



Stephon Marbury Calls Out Michael Jordan
Posted Jul 17th 2007 3:35PM by Matt Watson
Filed under: Knicks, Eastern, NBA Fans, NBA Gossip, New York, Breaking News, The Word

Stephon Marbury is in the midst of a 37-city tour to promote his Starbury line of shoes and clothing for Steve and Barry's ... and what's even better, he's blogging about his experiences for the New York Post:

After that we bounced through Charlotte. We stopped off at one of my favorite places to eat, Cracker Barrel. We met a nice lady named Lisa who worked there and told us the story of how she had promised her son she would buy him a pair of $175 Jordans even though she didn't want to. But he never had any brand name shoes. So she did it.

She wrote Michael Jordan a letter saying it was unfair a lot of children wouldn't be able to afford them and they shouldn't need Jordans to feel accepted.

She said they sent her a b.s. email back but that was it. I want Michael Jordan to get down with the movement and come out with a Star Jordan sneaker for the people. Let's see what happens.

First reaction: Marbury's favorite restaurant is the Cracker Barrel? Who knew? Second reaction: that's pretty bold of him to call out MJ, especially right in his backyard. I never would have thought it possible a couple of years ago, but Marbury seems to be on the verge of becoming a "larger than basketball" icon, having already called out MJ and LeBron James (see: "I'd rather own than be owned").

We know Ben Wallace has already signed on with Starbury, but will athletes endorsing other companies follow in his footsteps? A month ago, word got out that Kevin Durant was adamant that his shoe contract included a commitment from either Nike or adidas to produce an affordable shoe that can be sold in the $39 to $69 range. Was that just p.r.-speak to make Durant look good, or did he really stick to his guns? We'll find out in a few months, Durant signed a deal with Nike this week.



LeBron James vs. Stephon Marbury: The $150 Shoe vs. the $15 Shoe
Posted Mar 29th 2007 2:32PM by Nate Jones
Filed under: Knicks, Cavaliers, Eastern, NBA Gossip, NBA Last Night, Cleveland, New York



During last nights Knicks and Cavs match up, there was another battle going on. As well documented around the net, Stephon Marbury is endorsing a line of $15 Steve and Barry's kicks called Starburys. The premise behind the shoe is to give kids that can't afford outrageously priced shoes a chance to purchase a pair of NBA endorsed kicks that won't break their parent's bank account. So what does LeBron James, endorser of Nike's outrageously priced basketball sneakers, have to say about Marbury's new kicks? Here's what he told Newsday's Ken Berger:
Before the game, James took a little shot at Marbury's $14.98 kicks, saying he couldn't imagine endorsing a sneaker that cheap. "No, I don't think so," James said. "Me being with Nike, we hold our standards high."
Obviously LeBron James rise to fame and riches has allowed him to forget about where he comes from. Isn't this the same LeBron James that grew up in poverty in Akron, OH? What Marbury is doing is starting a cultural revolution. He's trying to change the game so that kids don't feel left out if they don't have a pair of $150 shoes. If LeBron wanted to be the man to be a real global icon, he would look to be something more than a puppet for Nike and become a leader like Marbury and step out and do something different that would actually aid the people that come from backgrounds similar to his own. As well, there are plenty of people that are making millions of dollars selling cheaper shoes. Shaquille O'neal has been doing it for years, but at more than twice the price ($39.99) of the Starburys. So what's Stephon's response to LeBron's obvious arrogance?
Marbury, who is friendly with James, was lacing up his Starburys before the game when informed of LeBron's comment. He thought about it for a moment and said, "I'd rather own than be owned."
For those of you that don't know, unlike James, Marbury is actually tied to the equity of his brand. Marbury gets a piece of the profits from every Starbury shoe that is sold. So not only does he have a chance to revolutionize the shoe industry in a way that benefits the low income consumer, but he also has a chance to become a big time shoe mogul. Instead of being a lemming, James might want to start taking notes.
