Candy,
I own a gun and the law wants to take it away from me. Everyone knows how dangerous a gun is and they should all be destroyed. Yes?
No, it isn't the gun it is the gun owner that is the danger. That is why guns should be registered and buyers need to have their backgrounds checked. Same thing with pit bulls. They need to be registered and, yes, muzzled in public. Anyone that isn't fit to own one should be denied ownership. And no, I don't think that "labs" need to be treated in the same way. Go back and look at my post with the link to the stats. Pit Bulls have the most bites and kills of ALL breeds. Doesn't that tell you something? No one on this thread made up the figures.
If dog fighting weren't so popular then maybe this would all be a moot point but until society figures out a way of making all humans perfect I guess we will have to deal with each problem as it comes along. I'm sorry you are upset about the posts suggesting these dogs be put down and I don't want to see all pit bulls killed. But ANY dog that attacks anyone or anything without good cause needs to be eliminated for the safety of others. |
