>Perhaps I should get a digital camera and post pictures of what the typical URBAN pitbull owner looks and acts like. 90% of them are ghetto rats strutting (or being pulled) down the street by their four legged penis extensions, barely under control at the end of a flimsy leash-while people have to cross the street to avoid them.<
No doubt most on these lists will agree with you. This is why the stories abound.
As long as we have a segment of society, regardless of ethnicity, who value a dog not for it’s love and devotion, but for its ability to “kick your dog’s butt”, and to kick your butt, we’ll have this situation.
These people, who you aptly point out should not own a guinea pig, don’t look at dogs the way the average pet owner does. They celebrate the death of other people’s animals and only care about their ego when their animal is injured or killed.
Most of the conservatives on these posts advocated laws that harshly punish these people when their dog injures another. Blanket breed bans, that encompass law-abiding people’s animals, many which are simply mistaken for the type dog in question, are a huge violation of our constitutional rights. It is this violation that spurs the conservatives on these threads, because we realize that it could be our breed next and we value our freedoms.
