Which is why I am not an advocate for a specific breed of dog
but rather for Responsible Dog Ownership regardless of breed.
I care about ALL victims of ALL dog attacks regardless of breed or severity.
An individual's right to own a dog ends at the point where it infringes on your rights.
I continually point out the principles of Responsible Dog Ownership...
CONTAIN, CONTROL, MAINTAIN, TRAIN and SOCIALIZE
As well I advocate for EDUCATION.
Schools have time to teach that Heather can have two mommies.
They should also, from the very earliest age, be teaching children about dog safety.
Of how to and how not to behave around and interact with dogs.
I also press for EFFECTIVE LAWS that are RIGOROUSLY ENFORCED
All too often an inadequate response from Animal Control result in a return visit to deal with a tragedy.
I stress that the community has a responsibility to point out problems and ensure that Animal Control does its job and that laws are strictly enforced.
I too have been bitten. Well I remember the day.
I was 11 years old in Waterbury Connecticut, the day the tornado tore through the city, May 21st, 1962.
I went to the reservoir to get an elevated view of the city and check if I could see any damage.
There was a GSD there, all by itself. I went to make friends with it and still carry the scar from the encounter upon my leg.
I have a little leeriness in the back of my mind about them but I'm rational enough to realize that not all GSDs are bad.
I'll pass by the first two sentences of your post. They are not worthy of composing a response. Hopefully, you will understand why upon reflection.
Disagree without being Disagreeable
Have a Nice Day
I am not a dog-hater. What disgusts me is owners who take on the responsibility and fail to carry it out, let alone willfully abuse one.
