“Pit Bull breed should be eradicated.............................”
A friend and neighbor volunteers at a dog shelter and she told me about 70% of the dogs at the shelter are pit bulls. I asked her about the risk of pit bulls and she gave the standard rationalization that they’re really sweet dogs and they just have to be raised correctly. Shortly after that conversation she was bitten on the hand by one of the ‘sweet dogs’ which required an ER visit and stitches.
To think that the shelter tries to get people to adopt these dogs.
My neighbor has one of these things. Fortunately, they are across the street, not next door, or I probably would have lost a couple of pets by this time.
Anyway, she told me that the people at the shelter where she got this dog told her he was "good with other dogs". A complete lie. The other dogs were elderly, and are now deceased. The only dog left is that pit bull. She was always adopting dogs out of shelters; but, I couldn't believe she would adopt one of these beasts; but, she did.
I would never adopt a dog out of a shelter as the people running these things seem to have no problem lying about the animal, as they did here about this dog being good with other dogs. I think they regularly lie about a dog's age and health.
