Though it seems the SPCA has chilled on their Pit Bull policy,they used to have a strict euthanasia policy toward Pits.
In the early 90's I had to be away for work for an extended period of time,so I left my dog and her pup with my mom,because I really only wanted to pay for a one room joint to save money. My mom got sick,so my Aunt more or less took over my moms trailer,including my dogs and everything I owned that I hadnt taken with me.
Rather then calling me,she burnt all my stuff,and handed over both of my dogs to the SPCA,by the time I found out what she had done,the SPCA had allready euthanized the pair of them including the 6 month old puppy.
Needless to say,my Aunt and I dont talk very often any more,and the SPCA wont be getting a donation from me any time soon. There are more then enough no-kill shelters that could use my coin
