The question I have is why CHOOSE a pit bull when so many other breeds are available? Why CHOOSE the one dog breed with the most negative press( right or wrong), the one that people fear and the one that will automatically get you discriminated against( right or wrong).
I’ve heard all the arguments.
I think there is something in the psychological makeup of people who CHOOSE pit bulls that is very much like that of women who are drawn to incarcerated men. They seek them out, they write them, send money, defend them and even marry them despite their pasts.
The danger factor IS the draw. It fascinates, it makes one feel powerful to have control of an animal that society considers fearsome and threatening.
Whether it is fair or not to consider the entire breed dangerous in DNA, that IS the growing public opinion of pit bulls.
So what is it that they give an owner( besides higher insurance premiums and negative public opinion) that another breed can’t offer?
The simple answer is if it's not affecting you then it's none of your damn business.
Since you've heard all the arguments why are you even bother to ask?
Because you don't accept the answers given?
Your attempt to put all owners in a nice little psychological deficiency box
is offensive and just plain wrong.
I don't base my actions on "public opinion"
I have a higher authority to answer to.
You sound like a likely recruit for my campaign to ban alcohol in post 137.
Shall I send you the literature?
