That boy ain't hauling around a standard poodle in the back of his truck. All the responsible owners in the world are not going to overcome the bad press. There have been numerous cases of of non pitbull dogs attacking and killing humans. They get a short blurb and that's it. Never the sensationalism of bully breeds. |
Most of Vicks dogs to my knowledge where dog aggressive and only one if I am correct that went to Utah for rehab is not ever going to go to a forever home it will stay at the rescue for life.
There is nothing wrong with a dog killing rats... yorkie do it. Cats well not so ok. I be impressed if my cat kill a rat. At least the dog has a job and if I wanted a rat killing dog I go to the guy bragging hes got a good one.
Just like when I brag we have a 4th in the country bred dog in show some will flock to us to get one of our pups.
I also suggest that it not just the "Jimbob crackerhead with the flag and dually truck that wraps his manhood in his pitbull" Guess what I drive......
A great deal of these pits are in inner cities there are no duallys and non of that flag in there.
We may not be able to over come bad press but when we see it we can go no way and try and educate.
I also check you numerous statement of deaths by dogs... less then the press makes out again read dogs bite but slippers and balloons kill.
