Bull-baiting

A subtype of Molossian dogs known as Bull Enbeissers were valued for their ability to control cattle. They were called butcher dogs. These dogs would catch bulls on their way to the market by hanging on the bulls nose, and not letting go until the butcher could regain control. After that humans invented Bull-bating, it worked like this:

• One or two dogs were released, and would attempt to grab the bull by the nose and not letting him go for hours.
• Then the owner of the dog demonstrated how courageous his dog was by cutting each of her legs, one at a time while the dog was still dragging herself to the bull.
• The Bull Enbeissers are ancestors of the pit bull.

I think bull batting is horrible and disturbing, why would owners cut of the dogs legs? This is abuse to the dog and is hard to believe that pit bull fighting, although it is illegal, is still happening and dogs are being injured. Why blame the dogs? Humans play a huge role to a dog.
