I'm not trying to start a riot here, most of you already know how I feel about bull's penis' for chewing 
 
 
So many people are careful to a fault at making sure their pups have the best of everything.  Why are bullie sticks so wonderful?  I did a search on line and found that bully sticks have also been recalled in the past.  At this point wouldn't a good chew toy rubbed down with peanutbutter or a kong stuffed with it be a better choice?  
A friend of mine makes some homemade hard as rock bones in the oven, and some hard as rock sweet potatoes, wouldn't these be better alternatives? 
I'm genuinely asking this question to better educate myself on these ol Bully Sticks!
