They are being accused of having a dog that is known to be loving and friendly and a family pet that would never harm anyone and then in an instant is gnawing the nose off a toddler and clamping onto someone's limb with such a vicious grip that it mouth must be pryed open to free the victim.
If you really don't understand, think of it this way: It is the same situation as Sigfried and Roy went through. Or, it is no more appropriate to have a pitbull in a residential neighborhood than it is to have a cougar for a pet. It is simply too dangerous to leave to chance that it will not strike, especially given all the instances as described in the first paragraph.
Good analogy.
A cougar is just a cat, like a pittbull is just a dog.
Which dogs would be allowed in your neighborhood?
This incident just kills me....
PIT BULL ATTACKS OWNER
Jun 6, 2006
OAKLEY, Calif. (AP) -- A pit bull owner in suburban San Francisco owes his life to a police officer who killed the dog as it was mauling its owner's face. The officer, on his way to a call in Oakley, California, saw the dog on top of the owner, biting his face. As the officer approached, the dog growled aggressively. The officer, afraid he'd be attacked, shot the dog to death. It's unclear what prompted the attack, if anything. The victim was treated for several bites to his face.

Good analogy. A cougar is just a cat, like a pittbull is just a dog. (dipsydoodlelady)
A pit bull is not a cougar (fact)
Why would they even bring up the comparison. It is sickening that people so bent on their postion that they have to state the obvious is not obvious. BJ
