There's just no point anymore. Those that have learned will grow, and those of you that choose to remain clueless will be the ones making it worse, not better. In case anyone here would like to learn, there are plenty of websites with unbiased facts about the breed, and to your surprise, they just might be the opposite of your opinion.
No one should let their dog roam around, period, no matter the breed, to that I agree. Pit bulls are strong dogs, but notice that whatever happened here wasn't that bad, because the kid ran home crying. Another person this week was severely mauled by a mixed breed dog, and it was shot three times. But obviously, news reports like those are waaaay under your radar, as they don't tend to get the media's attention like the pit bull.
Your spin is powerless in the face of the endless, outrageous conduct of the breed and their owners.
From yesterday:
Girl on way to catch bus is attacked by pit bull
http://www.vindy.com/content/local_regional/287784211691273.php
A search warrant was obtained to seize the pit bull.
YOUNGSTOWN — A neighbor used a baseball bat to beat away a pit bull that attacked a 13-year-old girl on her way to catch a school bus, police said.
The attack happened around 8:30 a.m. Thursday in the 700 block of Sherwood Avenue on the South Side.
Police said they found the West Rayen Avenue girl lying on the ground, bleeding from both ankles and her right arm/shoulder area. She was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center for treatment.
Harold Patterson, 32, of Sherwood Avenue, took the dog into his house and refused to release the animal to deputy dog wardens Dave Nelson and Sean Toohey, police said.
Nelson said Patterson, who claimed the dog was not his but a friend's, was issued misdemeanor citations charging him with failure to confine a vicious dog, no dog license and failure to have insurance for the animal. Depending on the victim's condition, the failure to confine charge could be elevated to a felony, the deputy dog warden said.
Search warrant
Thursday afternoon, Nelson said he obtained a search warrant from Municipal Judge Robert A. Douglas Jr. to seize the dog from Patterson. Police returned to 753 Sherwood to get the animal. Once caught, the dog would be quarantined pending further action, such as tests for rabies if required, Nelson said.
Nelson, who spoke to the girl's mother at the hospital, learned that the teenager had been at a cousin's house and intended to take a bus from there to school. He said the girl had been bitten several times.
Reports show the girl is a seventh-grader at Hayes Middle School.
that's enough for me. IMHO only stupid people own pit bulls.
