I have two mixed breed pit bulls. I consider owning them the same as owning any weapon. When in my back yard they are secured and I go out with them, when we go for walks they are in harnesses and on a leash and I would never leave them unattended in my car.
We have had two houses on our street recently burglarized and they are in my home for protection. I am a responsible dog owner and I have always owned large guard dogs. They have both been properly trained and I have had them since they were tiny puppies.
Our veterinarian rescues pits and trains them and she has never had an issue with one of her dogs. Hundreds have passed through her facility.
I don’t think I belong in prison. I haven’t done anything illegal that I know of.
Do the world a favor and get German Shepherds instead.
And I know someone that had non-pits jump out of his vehicle to attack the solid bronze cheetah that sits in the intersection in Winston, OR. You’re not likely to change minds on this subject. I’ve had pits and mixes. Treating them as weapons is a good idea.
Unfortunately, a population stupid enough to elect Obama isn’t smart enough to know how to handle a pit-bull as well as you. All these pit-bulls in the hands of idiots are a danger to the community in general. Penalties and liabilities need to be high for these dogs.
Does your vet’s last name just happen to end with the letter “z”? How about yours?
You’re harboring a wild animal. Prison.
