It jumps its fence and is menacing as all hell...and the family just bought another pit bull puppy. They love to menace people with it, and they get away with it because it is behind a fence.
If people walked around with cocked pistols, it would NOT go over so well...to me "rescue pit bulls" is like "rescue a gun"...no thank you. |
I am sorry but I am going to have disagree with you that pit bulls are like walking around with a weapon. remember that a dog is how you raise it. if you raise a pitbull with love and training it will not act like that. Irresponsible ppl train these dogs to fight and abuse it in that manner and therefore become a terror. This goes from yorkies to mastiffs. for example if a yorkie displays signs of attacking ppl it can hurt someone maybe not to the degree as a pitbull but it can attack someone regardless. It all goes into training. and that is why pitbulls have such a bad name. JMO
And to the OP i am so sorry for your friends loss. Plz contact the ASPCA for help since the PO will transfer it to them and it may take some time as it goes thru the system. ASPCA is NYC's animal police.
