I’ve seen many videos following a pit bull bloodbath wherein the owner shrugs helplessly while saying, “He got out....”
They say he got out of his kennel, his pen, his cage, his yard, the owners car, the owners house, off his chain, out of his collar, out of his harness, out of his muzzle. With that shrug, they imply....well there’s nothing I could have done to stop it. They are not pets and should not be allowed to menace the public.
A young man I knew explained that the stray pit bull he found chewed the wire pen he put her in so much the wire broke and pierced her face, he had to pin her in his arms to stop her from thrashing while he tried to remove the wire poking through her flesh. The vet bill was high - he stopped putting the dog in a pen reasoning she could not be penned up safely. She ran away.
I believe pits violate the pet contract. They hunt people if they get out and apparently can’t be restrained, according to their owners. Therefore -I consider them wildlife which require special licensing and permits, enclosures etc.
Every pitbull owner is a violent criminal.
That sounds completely appropriate to me. I don’t understand anyone who wants a “pet” that isn’t. Instead they re just an animal.
Our neighbor has a rottweiler and a big something and a little something. When they get out they go on a tear. They are hunting and they kill. Killed a calf this last year. They all need to be put down.
