It's not MY responsibility to do something about the problem down the street other than call animal control. I don't have pit bulls, I am not a pit bull enthusiast, and there's no reason why the clown who owns a pit bull he can't handle would listen to me -- I'm just a scared middle-aged lady. But they would listen to YOU, kanawa, but guys like you don't have the balls to take care of your own. You're too busy attacking the symptom to take care of the cause.

I don't care other than from a moral perspective whether or not they are banned. YOU people are the ones who are so all-fired hot about avoiding the banning of pit bulls, not me. Pit bull lovers like you have to police your own if you want to keep the privelige of owning pit bulls and stop putting it off on the victims and denying the problem.

And have you done that? Surely you must have, what was the response?

But they would listen to YOU, kanawa

Pay my plane fare, put me up in a nice hotel and pay for my lost wages
and I'll go and have a talk with the owners.
Alternately have you thought of contacting the local breed clubs and asking for their advice or help?

but guys like you don't have the balls to take care of your own. You're too busy attacking the symptom to take care of the cause.

You know next to nothing about me.
You haven't a clue of the time, money or energy I have spent lobbying
for effective dog bite prevention education and legislation.
Why haven't I been more successful?,
because brain dead liberal politicians make feel good laws,
which they don't back up with enforcement,
that only attack the symptom and do nothing about the cause.

I am not a policeman or a vigilante, you silly person.
I'm not some gang-banger with street cred that the idiots will listen to,
more like they'd kick the $hit out of me as soon as look at me.
"My own" are law abiding, responsible and educated dog owners.
I'm a 55 year old grandfather, trying to make a living and be a responsible member of society.
My job as a citizen is to
1. Press for effective legislation that is actually backed up by enforcement
2. To assist law enforcement by reporting problems, real or potential.
3. To lobby for Responsible Dog Ownership education and to play my part in that endeavor through our dog owners associations
If I saw the problem that you have previously described
I would have immediately contacted animal control using the my preprogrammed cell phone.
If that brought unsatisfactory results I would be on my local elected officials case
until something was done about the problem.
Which is exactly what you should be doing.
Don't accuse me of putting it off on the victims and denying there is a problem
because that would be a damn lie.

Woof
