One more time on this forum, American Pit Bull Terriers are a large, aggressive breed of dog. If one is unaccustomed to handling large, aggressive canines also including Rottys, Shepherds, Dobermans, Boxers and even Collies and others, get an ankle biter or better yet, become a cat person.
If you are unable or as in most cases, unwilling to socialize your animal so that it isn’t going to try to destroy every other mammal that crosses it’s path, you should consider the liability you are placing yourself in and reconsider your choice of pets.
If I shoot you with my gun, no matter what the circumstances, you can sue me and will most likely prevail. If my dog bites you, you have the same recourse. If you die from a gunshot that I am responsible for, I will do some time. If you die from injuries inflicted by my dog, same thing.
I have many guns. I pride myself in knowing both the location and the condition of all of them, all of the time. I take the same pride in how I care for my animals.
Large canines, especially Bulldogs, bear close scrutiny. Any unusual display of aggression or an attack on any of the other animals, or people on the farm will be immediately addressed by my other constant companion out here, my Walther P22.
I’ve had a lot of Bulldogs over the years, haven’t had to put too many down for going crazy.
OK, let me have it, I can handle anything ya’ll can dish out, I’m a Pit Bull owner.
98 percent of chihuahua or basset hound owners could be careless, silly, and irresponsible about their dogs, and only an idiot with no life would give a crap and try to put a stop to it. But evenm a measly two percent of pit bull owners who are equally careless, silly, and irresponsible, is enough to cause death and misery to innocent people, from little kids to old ladies.
Just because I don't like it doesn't alter the fact that it's true.
I don't understand the mentality of someone that can look at the face of that poor child and make jokes about hippo's...They have to have lost some important brain cells..
