Pit bulls are like guns. Irresponsible owners are reprehensible, responsible owners are none of your business.
A lot of people might say the same of my Shepherd. They are a known dangerous breed of dog. Insurance companies don’t want Shepherds in the house.
But ever since I have been a dog owner, I have always considered myself responsible for everything that they do.
I’m the one who has to make sure she is safe and everyone else is safe from her, even though I know she’s not dangerous.
I have already had to put one dog down for biting. Luckily I was the victim.
But I am not going to harbor an animal that I know to be vicious.
“Irresponsible owners are reprehensible, responsible owners are none of your business.”
Actually, they are. Ive never seen the neighbors 38 revolver escape its place in the drawer and run outside to attack kids in the street. Pits do it a lot. And the “game” is that every time it happens, the owner is said to be “irresponsible”.
But the fact is unless by responsible you mean keeping that pit in a backyard zoo type enclosure, they can and will escape sometime.
Those things are a menace, and even ones owned by responsible people do a lot of damage.
