I had a niece killed by a “sweet, never hurt a fly, yada yada yada” pit bulls. I tend to put down the strays I see because they’re just dangerous. However, they killed it for fun and filled it for pleasure. I can see killing pit bulls, but not debasing them and shooting them to pieces with a rifle for entertainment. That’s horrible and they should go away for a very long time.
Fully agree with your post. I myself am from a rural background, and I know that animals do sometimes have to be put down. Death is a part of life. But cruelty of this type is something different. It is the worst of crimes and it is only a matter of time before they move on to crimes against humans.
If you feel that a pit bull (or some other dangerous animal needs to be killed) you should be motivated by grim determination, and not a love of killing.
The people,that are kiling pit bulls fo valid reasons are the ones saving themselves or others being attacked by he pit bull. Not because they are gettig their rocks off killing a dog that hasnt done anything and i tied up for target practice by sadists.
