Last night, I was watching Robot Chicken on Cartoon Network. There was a segment entitled Euthanasia. It was about a board game with the same title. There were children playing it. Here is what was said about pits:
Girl: My pit bull ripped off the face of a toddler.
Boy: Time to put him down.
Girl: I can retrain him.
Boys: No! Euthanasia
For those of you who want to watch the clip, here is the link:

Now, the entire segment upset me. They were making fun of having to put animals to sleep. The segment included a comment about a cat having kittens. Although it was a short segment, there is no telling how many people saw it. That can do a lot of damage to pits as well as other animals.
I am contacting Cartoon Network about this. If you would like to do the same, here is the contact info:
