The unvaccinated dog has to be kept alive for ten days to observe for signs of rabies. The last thing that kid needs is to also receive rabies treatment shots.

My vet decided to stop treating pit bulls after he was attacked by 3 in a row. Social media attacks were vicious—most of them by people from other states who didn’t even have any personal contact with him. Someone said it was the same as a doctor refusing to treat blacks!

Yes, this particular tactic of anthropomorphising pit bull type dogs by likening them to black persons and them saying that the veterinarian is racist for not wanting to treat a dangerous dog is insulting to black people.

When someone says this, they are implying that a dog and a person of color are equivalent.
It also implies that an animal (possession) and a human (non-possession) are the same.

Please do not allow this sort of thinking to continue unchallenged.

If someone said this to me, I would call them a racist right back for insinuating that a dog and a human (any color) are of the same value. They are not.
