Is not mankind our ‘business’?
Dog fighting with pit bulls is a BIG BUSINESS here in south Louisiana. Every thug alive has pit bulls- and they have them BECAUSE the dogs are dangerous and intimidating. You can be damned sure if someone near me owns a breed of dog that is capable of the damages pits are it IS my business!
Ban alcohol? You have NO idea who you’re talking to! LOL
Save your literature, and your defensiveness.
I see that you’re Canadian. You have more to worry about than people who don’t trust certain breeds of dogs.
The Muslims in your country would ban a HELLUVA lot more than dogs! And the socialist mentality there is helping them make great strides. If you want to fight ‘bans’, the Muslims in your country will keep you very busy.
Rest up.
You are more afraid of a dog rather than the owner, or the owner's car, pool, or .38 in the night stand? What about your property? More people are killed using metal ladders than pitbulls. The statistics show that your fear is misplaced if you are.
It is a problem in Louisiana and in Ohio and pretty much everywhere else too.
Being as mankind is your business...What are you doing about it?
Here's some info, while the contacts are for Ohio the rest applies anywhere...
Why Should You Care?
Dog fighting has become a serious issue within our community. Why should you know how to recognize and report suspected dog fighting activities? Because dog fighting is a felony in Ohio and is linked to many other illegal and criminal activities. Law enforcement and animal welfare investigators report:
Research shows young children who view this type of violence have a greater acceptance of aggressive attitudes and behavior. These children are taught to believe that it's okay to inflict the cruelties they observe and that dog fighting is an acceptable practice.
Other Signs of Dog Fighting
Just because your neighbor owns a pit bull does not mean that he or she is a dog fighter.
Signs of serious dog fighting include:
What Should You Look For?
Men, women and children attend dog fights throughout the year. Dog fighting is not a "seasonal sport."
Virtually any area within the community can hold a dog fight:
Observing adolescents and/or adults with dogs, going to or coming from a site, should peak your curiosity.
The party-like atmosphere surrounding a dog fight is noticeable. Spectators cheer for their chosen dog as the bets stack up. Growling and barking, especially if other breeds of dogs are being used, is sometimes recognizable.
What Breed of Dogs are Involved in Dog Fighting?
Dogs which have the appearance and characteristics of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier or any other breed commonly known as pit bull, may be used in dog fighting activities. Other large breeds of dogs may also be used for dog fighting.
Dogs used in fighting often times have observable characteristics:

Every thug alive has a pit bull?
I did not know that! Thanks for the info!
My argument was with your conclusion that every 'pit bull' owner
is a psychologically/socially sick individual with some sort of deficient personality.
I'm pointing out to you that is simplistic and incorrect. You can thank me or not.
You can be damned sure if someone near me owns a breed of dog that is capable of the damages pits are it IS my business!
If the owner is being responsible, if they are containing their dog
then it is none your business why they chose their dog.
Why they CHOOSE it was your original busybody question.
If their enjoyment of their property
is interfering (realistically) with your enjoyment of life
then it indeed becomes your problem and hopefully theirs as well.
Ban alcohol?
My goodness can you not recognize satire when you see?
I indeed do not drink alcohol.
What I did was to take on the role of a nanny stater,
to proscribe other peoples behavior
and base it on an emotional appeal to the common good.
Why would any one CHOOSE to drink alcohol?
There are many other safer drinks available that are just as tasty.
People who drink have some sort of personality disorder.
They are compensating for low self-esteem.
It makes them feel macho.
People who drink are thugs drunks.
Given the damage drunks do it IS my business.
Alcohol is a deadly drug.
No one needs to drink alcohol.
Given all the misery, the horrible deaths and disfigurements wrought by alcohol
and since mankind is my business
then alcohol must be banned for the common good.
It is a simple matter to substitute demon dog for demon alcohol in the above rant and hence the satire.
That is how I would behave if I didn't believe in freedom,
in individual responsibility and accountability.
If I judged everyone based on the actions of a few
and seeing myself as morally superior and righteous
I was therefore justified in curtailing the freedoms of others.
You have NO idea who you’re talking to!
No and you have no idea who you are talking to either,
but that didn't stop you from making judgments on my character based on the dog I own,
did it?
I see that you’re Canadian.
Since this has nothing to do with the topic it doesn't warrant a response.
The fight against liberalism/socialism transcend borders
and is a danger that conservatives from all over the world
can and should join together to battle.
