It says the authorities rounded them up... I wonder how they knew where to look, how they caught these feral dogs... there’s not a lot of information in this news article.

Sadly people take their animals out to the country and dump them. Small dogs get killed, cats may survive and find a barn,

At least one cat found me last summer. He just showed up at the door like, "Hey, I hear you're that lady!" I was like, "Yep, come on in. Join the others."

We don’t know if the dogs were feral, but I’m fairly sure they had blood on them. If you’ve ever seen footage of one of those demon dogs being wrestled into an animal control vehicle after an attack it’s quite noticeable and equally sickening.

I haven’t seen that it’s been established they were feral.

It all started from a question of mine in post #6. I didn’t mean to upset poster A strike, and I didn’t know the question was something that would cause communists to lose their tempers.

A strike is a good example of how to mislead oneself when your first motive is to disparage other posters.

I was just thinking that if the dogs were feral, it would be difficult to first locate them, and then capture them. I’m speculating that the speed with which the dogs were identified, located, and taken, it’s more likely that authorities knew whose dogs they were.

Your logic has been good and plain to see, but thank you for confirming it.

When I posed the unassuming question “I wonder if they were feral,” I didn’t mean to cause a long debate about whether they were.

Of course, I didn’t cause the debate, A strike did.

But we all should keep in mind, the purpose of this forum is open and free communication in the context of Patriotism. The rantings of hysterical communists (whose low IQ obscures their understanding of why they like communism) will have no effect on my inclination to post whatever I feel like posting.

“Thou doth think too much of thyself..”

False accusations like this, which I’ve seen before on this forum, give me a sense of relating to President Trump.

Not in accomplishments, because Trump has accomplished a thousand times what I’ve done in my life. I could never achieve even a tiny fraction of what our Great Stable Genius President has achieved.

But I know my personality and my temperament is very similar to Trump’s. And just as Trump is falsely accused of being a narcissist, you’ve done the same thing to me with your post.

Did you notice your comment to me pretends to have access to knowledge you don’t have? (And I can give you the evidence that Trump is not a narcissist.)

But you’re the one who thinks all the pitbulls are being abducted by aliens.

The poster who pretends both interest and competence in a discussion while possessing neither will inevitably resort to personal attacks when their lack of competence is demonstrated.

Dishonesty for the sake of evil or other self gain is always low IQ.

and just think... all this pitbull craze came from those who thought black guys with pitbulls “...are sooooo cool...”.

I know a few whites who own them. I’m convinced of my theory by the way ALL of them refer to the dog as their “Pit”. the way they say it is pure ghetto...

That was how Ginger and Maryann arrived at our place.

Came out one morning and there they were like they had been told we had an opening for rodent removal. Had the vet check them out and she said they were healthy if a bit battered and hungry and no chips or tattoos.

They moved into the barn and are very happy.

But for every one of the happy stories there are four or five where I find scattered remains.
