Yep. Humane Society of America and the ASPCA are huge supporters of abortion (human sacrifice).

The rescue that I got my last dog from goes into kill shelters and adopt dogs that are due to be killed the next day....Its called Last Day Dog Rescue...my rescue was an old senior dog that had been put in the shelter cause its owner died and no one in the family wanted her...I had her for 20 months until bone cancer got to her with a spontaneous fracture of the shoulder. She was a good girl and is buried in my side yard next to a dog I had for 13 years until renal failure finally took her down so much she couldn’t walk and quit eating....

I have rescued two Great Danes (one still with us), and they have been the best dogs I have ever had personality wise.

Anyone who thinks dangerous aggression and “ Great Dane” belong in the same sentence shouldn’t be making decisions about dogs.

Whoever put that list together is an idiot. Husky? Great Dane? Seriously? I don’t doubt that they have a severe stray dog problem, and that a lot of the strays may need to be put down, but who the hell came up with a list that includes Siberian Huskies and Great Danes as “attack dogs?”

I would imagine the bigger part of the pit bull problem in Cumberland County is a demographic issue not of the dogs, but of the owners.

For those unfamiliar with the area: Cumberland County and the City of Fayetteville are home to Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base. There’s a big transitory military population around there (hence the popular name “Fayettenam”). The comings and goings of Army/USAF personnel might have something to do with the dog problem, I don’t know. Maybe people are ditching their dogs when they get transferred or leave the area, or go on deployment?

Breed specific bans are the proverbial camel’s nose in the tent.

Some on the left would love to outlaw ownership of all dogs.

How did Great Danes get on that list? They are usually pretty even tempered and Huskies also.

I have never met a mean Great Dane and I’ve been around many of them over the years.Yes they will protect their home and owner but they are not the type of dog that just goes and randomly attack other animals or people.

I moved to the country so I could let my dogs (strays that came up) run free. They were happy until the county paved the road, then the joggers took over.

One filed a complaint and within two days I had the sheriff and backup appear and told me I had to pen them up.

They are not happy dogs now, they are prisoners in my yard. They never caused problems with people walking, riding bikes or riding horses, only joggers who stirred up the “chase” response in them.

I had a red Husky for a couple of years before I had to give him away, but he was a big wuss...The thing with him was if someone came to the door he would just freeze and stare down a salesman. With amber eyes he would intimidate just by stance and stare...But the kids could roll all over him and he loved to wrestle...I would have trouble getting him down when we were playing, but when down he laid very still, I wouldn't move but just relax my arm muscles and he was aware and was up and wrestling again...He loved to play

Yep. Humane Society of America and the ASPCA are huge supporters of abortion (human sacrifice).

I am just curious. Where did you get that information? I would not think that they care one way or the other. Nevertheless, I have contributed thousands of dollars to the ASPCA over the years and I intend to continue. What the organization does for animals is my primary concern.

I worked for the Humane Society of America for a time in my career, at that time they sponsored Planned Parenthood. I was told that the ASPCA was also a sponsor.
There was no one on the management team with me (besides me) that wasn’t a rabid pro-abortion advocate.
This might have changed, I can’t say.
I probably should have said all of the above in my comment.

Two of my friends have had Huskies and they were pussycats and now one of my friends has a Great Dane that is afraid of its shadow. They are not problem dogs.

Wow!

I moved to the country so I could let my dogs (strays that came up) run free. They were happy until the county paved the road, then the joggers took over.

- So you moved to the country so that your dogs could run free so everyone else should just respect that? And I guess the county should never have paved that road and those joggers should never have used that road?

One filed a complaint and within two days I had the sheriff and backup appear and told me I had to pen them up.

- How would you have handled this? Should the jogger not have filed a complaint? Should the sheriff had ignored the complaint?

They are not happy dogs now, they are prisoners in my yard. They never caused problems with people walking, riding bikes or riding horses, only joggers who stirred up the “chase” response in them.

- So how would things have gone better in your ideal world?

My husky was sweet but tore up everything in the house even the carpet off the floor, but when he learned to climb the fense I knew he needed more room than the suburbs. He went to a gal that already had a Husky so she knew what she was in for. He also loved to dig foxholes in the back yard,
