| Petsmart breed discriminates? I'm not sure if this is true with the Internet but I read this article today: Why It Matters That PetSmart Discriminates Against Pit Bulls|Arin Greenwood I know people have different views on pit bulls and this can be a touchy subject but honestly this surprises me coming from a company that is so involved in rescues. Honestly pit bulls are dogs, dogs can be good or bad. Both times a dog tried to attack my little ones it was a lab mix. In the 10 plus years I've worked with animals my worse bites were from Chihuahuas. I feel like dogs should be judged by the content of character, if a dog doesn't play well, by all means ban it from play group but ban its whole breed? And ban anything that slightly resembles it? This seems excessive to me. Maybe I'm just biased because all the pits and pit mixes I've known have been sweet hearts with big goofy grins and wiggly tails. How is saying all of one type of breed bad any diffrent from saying all of one type of skin color, gender or religion bad? I just feel like as a society we should've passed making blanket statements. Sorry for the rant this just makes me sad.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I really dislike breed discrimination, so this bothers me. I'd like to see what statistics they actually based this upon, if any! Most people can't even identify what a "pit bull" actually is, so how they plan to really enforce this is beyond me, esp when they say they won't allow dogs with any of those pit bull "characteristics"...what the heck is that supposed to mean? Clear as mud.
