Pit bulls should be in urban areas. Increasing they will be.
Not even close. The owners breed for characteristics that make the animal dangerous to others.
God save us, our children, and our pets from civil servants.
Agreed about the “scum.” But they’re worse than indifferent. They’re intentionally causing problems. They get a thrill out of having an animal that will risk harm to others.
> You’re not a U.S. citizen and you’re trying to tell U.S. citizens what they should be able to own!
Yup, you got it in one! Public menaces such as dangerous mungrel mutt Pit Bull dogs are unlikely to check your passport before they chomp on your ass. So my citizenship(s) have no relevance or bearing on this discussion. In fact, citizenship is a canard.
Nice try, tho’!
And if we ban, shoot, chainsaw, roto-till, lethally inject, poison, hang, electrocute, drown, burn, every last pitbull on the face of the earth, you'll be writing the same thing about the owners of Chows, Akitas, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Dobermans, Mastiffs, etc.
That’s the slippery slope argument. It’s a logical fallacy.
Canard
1. a false or baseless, usually derogatory story, report, or rumor.
Do you even read what you type?
Well....I’m done here because it’s obvious ya’ll have cast your lot with the “government as the solution” crowd, and there’s nothing that will change your minds. Certainly after November 4, it’s obvious that you have a lot of company on your side of the fence, and after Obama pays your mortgages and fills your gas tanks, I’m sure he and his local appartchiks around the country will set about enacting more laws to keep you safe from guns, SUVs and big mean dogs, too.
> Only I wish that accountability included jail time.
Here in New Zealand, it has included time in gaol. A few years ago there were these two homosexualists who owned a pit bull that mauled a little girl, tore off her face in an unprovoked random attack in a park.
Naturally, these sterling pet owners and upstanding Citizens fled the scene, hid their dog, and denied responsibility.
The law wasn’t fooled, and they were charged and convicted and sent to gaol. The little girl had her face re-attached but will be scarred for life.
I am in favor of “vicarious liability” for all dog owners: the owner gets charged for any assaults the dog commits as if it were done by the owner himself. If that concept were in place for dogs (it already exists in law for employees) then I bet you’d see dangerous mungrel mutt Pit Bull dogs euthanized by their owners so fast it would make your head spin.
The risk of owning one would just be too great.
One problem with pit bull owners acknowledging risk, is that they avoid being honest about consequences. If their next door neighbor is imprisoned for a pit bull attack, they will deny that it could happen to them. Such is the criminal nature.
You outed your own self as a lying fraud. You're just not smart enough to have realized it.
You’re not making sense.
You are all fantasizing that a stranger could not or would not shoot a pit bull. That’s fantasizing. Accusing others of fantasizing is projection.
I am saying you're a silly lying fool. Your own words provide ample evidence. I'm not waiting for you to admit it; I know you won't.
You’re not making sense, and you’re mouthy. That again shows an adjunct or two to the pit bull preference.
> Do you even read what you type?
Yup. “Canard” is what I typed, and “canard” is what I meant.
> BTW, in this context that wasn’t a swear word or term.
In fact, in that context it was a rather clever use of the term. And apt.
> If you did come on my property “lawful purpose” or not,I would release my gun powder fed chihuahua on your self righteous ass.I don’t think you would be able to shoot him as he’s really fast.I think ,after that, the “contraband” wouldn’t be the only thing assuming room temperature.
You Yanks and your firearms fantasies. The reality is that you’d probably do nothing of the sort.
