I know it is very unpopular to say but I still believe the only right thing to do is enforce spay and neuter on all pit bulls and maybe some of the other more dangerous dogs. I KNOW it is not the dogs' fault. Man bred them to be killing machines and then MAN continues to leave them unattended, untrained, and often uncared for themselves. Sinc ewe cannot trust man to take the necessary precautions, we really need to stop this breed. There is no need for it to continue. They were bred to kill and kill they will until we spay & neuter them all and end the blood lines there. I do not want to put them all down, although that is what happens in most cases where they attack humans. But I do want to stop the breeding of dangerous breeds. I know many are as sweet as can be right up until the day they aren't! After most attacks, people describe the dog as friendly an would never hurt anyone before that day. We should never have bred for these characteristics in the first place -- but there is NO REASON to continue to do it. We should spay & neuter all and people could replace their next dog choice with a less dangerous dog. They just have the propensity to kill where so many other agressive dogs do not. Yorkies sare feisty little things and I am sure nip often, but they would have a pretty hard time opening their little mouths enough to really hurt anyone.
So, there it is -- my controversial opinion. Sorry pit bulls -- man has let you down! But there just is not other logical answer that will save all the lives that will be lost otherwise. |
