Well, if you agree that pitbull owners are criminals and predators, my remarks apply to you as well. Don't feel left out.
Blanket statments like that are just ignorant, and display an obvious lack of information and reasoning on the part of the person making the statement. Are there criminals and predators that own pit bulls? Yep. There are also criminals and predators that own Chevrolets, but not all Chevrolet owners are criminals and predators. There are criminals and predators that have red hair, but not all red-haired people are criminals and predators...
I think what he was really saying is that it is incredibly irresponsible to own one, such that to decide to own one is to pre-accept the fact that it is going to harm somebody and that person doesn’t give a @#$#.
That what I believe about pit bull owners ...
Kanawa, one of the most devoted pit bull defenders anywhere, and I have gotten into it a time or two on these pit bull threads, but there's NO WAY IN HELL that kanawa is either a criminal or a predator -- I'd stake my oath on it. If all pit bull owners were like kanawa, we'd never see these threads.
It seems to me kanawa is a man who lives the life in which a pit bull has a job that's right for him and the care of somebody who respects the dignity of dog's breeding and puts it to right use. The dog was bred to be courageous and to kill pretty powerful dangers, like bears. I bet that in the pioneer West, the family that had a good pit bull-type critter as a "ranch" dog had a better survival rate.
Like Australian Shepherds and border collies were bred help control livestock, a pit bull was bred to be a warrior protector and killer. He wasn't bred to be a house pet, a child substitute, a source of amusement, a little buddy, or a side-kick to adolescent boys and adolescent men.
You put an Australian Shepherd or border collie in a cramped place with no job, it will go nuts. I suppose a pit bull is no different.
The clowns are the folks who are cavalier about the ownership of pit bulls, presa canarios, Rotts, etc., and they are dangerous clowns.
I don't like pit bulls, I've been scared sh*tless by one and a pal Rottweiler who were loose, growling at me on a quiet public street with not an owner in sight. I made zero eye contact with them, walked normally and as far across the street as possible, and prayed.
I hate breed bans and the thought of breed banning. These dogs are worthy and valuable things, in the right hands. Sad that in the wrong hands, they are lethal dangers.
