Thank you for distilling the faith I was beginning to have in small dog owners. But most of all, thank you for trying to condemn the breed that I love, the breed that I will die trying to protect.

JustaLilBitLuck -
I was in support of your arguments and glad to see you stand against discrimination of a breed - and then my heart fell to see you close with THIS. Any folks you just won over to your side with your arguments above - you just proceeded to insult. I don't need to be called a fruitcake - nor I do need to be cued as to when I should insert your sarcasm; I'm well aware as to when sarcasm wants to play.
I don't discriminate against white people, black people, little dogs, big dogs, pit bulls, yorkies, people who dress their dogs, or people who live in Minnesota who make sweeping judgments about others.
I support the Best Friends Society who took in Michael Vick's dogs and is re-habbing them, with beautiful results. I don't think folks necessarily
always understand the full story behind what has made some PBs act unpredictably - and other dogs act unpredictably. It
isn't necessarily breed related, as you point out - but the media isn't telling that story, is it?
For those who want to read a more unbiased position, NOT media related - PLEASE read PB info at the Best Friends Society:

I don't have the answer - but before anyone goes too far with discrimination against anything - a dog, or a person, or anything - just please remember that discrimination of any kind, when allowed to happen anywhere - can then happen everywhere. So, tread carefully.
