But I frankly never thought of not helping individual cats and dogs (through adoption) as an option for me. who chooses not to take in animals because he respects them, and I agreed theoretically.

Like every dog they are vulnerable to homelessness and mistreatment. Aside from the breed’s abuses, one finds that adopting out this breed is highly difficult. However, any breed of dog that has been abused, neglected, or homeless may be aggressive to humans or other dogs. As a breed, pit bulls have a bad rap.

An Animal Person reader wrote me with the following question: There are many species of cichlids in Lake Victoria that are on the verge of extinction, and most are hardy and small enough to be kept in an aquarium.
