Uh Huh, that's not what I got from several of your post, particularly the "any dog that bites ONCE should be put down" non-sense.
You clearly appear to have a zero tolerance preference, I prefer a more inclusive look at the facts.
Dogs cannot speak, they have no hands, they are forced to communicate the best they can.
If some twerp is causing them pain they have a right to end that pain, and if little Timmy is yanking on the dogs ear little Timmy should expect to get a nip.
I have had a wide variety of animals as pets, many exotics, including Hawks, Ocelot, Black Tip South African Lioness, de-scented Skunk, very large Iguana, Raccoon, Porcupine, and one Ferret.
The Ferret was the only one I ever found necessary to release back to the wild, it could not be tamed, and was the only one to ever bite me.
Bull-Dozer is my third Pitt, I have never met a "Bad" Pitt that did not belong to a BAD owner.
The current anti-Pitt frenzy is just the latest media driven garbage, I saw the same thing with Doby's when I had them, German Shepherds had their turn, Rottweilers get second place as devil dogs in the media these days, Dalmatians have also had some bad press in recent years.
I expect the Canario's or some other very large "New" breed to eventually replace the Pitt's as evil incarnate once the media and reactionary fools have driven Pitt ownership underground and off the front page.
Fortunately I live in rural Nevada, where the anti-Pitt mania is pretty well non-existant. We still judge dogs and men by their actions, not media portrayals.
I wonder how many of these anti-Pitt post would be deleted if "Black's", "African American" or "The 'N' Word" were being used in place of "Pitt Bull"?
Try it as a mental exercise, you will see the thread would be a short one.
Canario's will be the next one. And I still don't hate pits so don't lump me there. Right now I don't have time to argue with you . If you love animals and rescue them then I would like you and you have my respect. Just don't say I hate pits because I don't, I just love dobermans better. Since I have a small child I now breed shih tzus and I hear bad things about them. My husband is laughing here at me as he is a big lover of pits and plans to get one once our daughter is older and we have more land. {You clearly appear to have a zero tolerance preference}, you think?? note the tagline.lol I think it maybe that once you work for a shelter you get hardened to things the person in charge etc won't let you try or change. Anyway I have my ideas and you have yours, if I can learn something from you thats great. A very Merry Christmas to you, your family and your Bull-Dozer ~~Pandora~~
