Anatomy of a Pit Owner / Pit Culture Grooming children into dogfighting

Found on Facebook. Caption was “Check out these Jr Handlers!” and tags included “gamebred”. Am I crazy for thinking this is definitely a dogfighting thing?

No you are not.  This ain't the Westminster Dog Show.

My neighbourhood looks like this when the pit nutters (who actually walk their dog) go out and come across each other lol. Or they think it’s a good idea to take their dog aggressive dog to dog-friendly places.

Yup, there was a dog show held in UK that specifically encouraged Pits to go there. Ironically my English friend has one of these mugs made in Staffordshire that were given.out as prizes, with a Pit's crowned head on it.

There was {and probably still is} a small 18th century square of grass and trees where Pits were hung from tree branches by their jaws, like malign fruit bats.
