Pitbulls

[kaspurr]

Clue me in, is the embracing of this animal as "misunderstood" a specifically liberal agenda? Because I seem to bump into it there the most often.

Please and thank you in advance.

Sure, sure, meanwhile Zimmerman got his gun, along with his wife exactly to defend himself against only that breed and on the word of a person who worked with animals as it was the only thing that would take it down fast enough.

Meanwhile, where I live, I cannot carry a loaded gun. Period. I'm defenseless. I'm forced to be gambling with this breed and its irresponsible owners or perhaps just for some reason the dog having a bad day despite being raised with kindness -- hell no I ain't afraid of dogs normally:

Sorry, wrong link.

It actually happens so often that I have to be more careful and not assume the google got the right article. ugh.

Too much. so awful. You should read my links too. And people are now obsessively adopting this dog in protest so no fucking problems there of it going away overnight.

No one is denying that there have been pit bull attacks. Any dog can be trained/bred to be vicious; the sad truth is that pit bulls have been the focus of more unsavory individuals, and as a result, they number higher in attack statistics (not to mention, the name "pit bull" encompasses several breeds all lumped under one heading). It's not a coincidence that most canine abuse cases involve pit bulls, and most aggressive pit bulls are not spayed or neutered. Banning the breed doesn't fix the problem; those types of people will still be around, and twenty years from now, we'll be clamoring for a Rottweiler or German Shepherd ban. Laws would be more effective targeting responsible pet ownership and breeding.

You're obviously very afraid of pit bulls, and nothing I say is going to change your mind. I'm sorry you feel that way, but it's understandable, and I would never want you to own one. However, having a problem with other people adopting one is no different from having a problem with gun ownership or any other freedoms.
