It took me about a good minute after the video ended to even register the reality of what I'd just seen, it was just so unbelievably detestable, cruel and vile.
I still can't fathom how someone can do that-to kill is one thing-this is another.
Pitbulls:
Common sense is apparently too hard to comprehend so we come up with all or nothing backwards solutions.
My dear friend has a pit that is over 100lbs therefore she is registered as an American Staff to protect her from confiscation and euthanasia.
A gentler dog I have never met in my life, she literally tip toes around my lil dogs to ensure she doesn't step on them; he however firmly believes in the controlled responsible breeding of pits and more over firmer regulations on who can and cannot own animals-period.
My dear friend has had many varying types of animals, he was one of the trainers I have constantly sought advice from in rehabilitating my rescue. He's convinced therefore so am I pit, staff & other bully breeds require specialty training & socialization.
I do believe that not only should pits be regulated in some form but that all pet ownership and breeding needs some form of regulation since we can't seem to do that ourselves as a society (be responsible) unfortunately when we leave it to the 'powers that be' to make last minute drastic actions based on public panic and out cry. Then we end up with this situation: animals being ripped out of their homes taken from responsible pet owners and euthanized. |
I agree with what you say with regards to the pits. My feelings on the breed, as with any of the bully breeds is that anyone wanting to own one should have to be finger printed, criminal background checks run, and registered just as if you would own a gun. And, I further believe that they should have to take a pre-ownership class as well as be required to participate in training with the dog after and the dog should have to be registered with the owner. i also do not believe that breeding should be banned at least for the time being. There are too many in the shelters dying every day.
I missed the cat hanging. I have to be honest, I skipped through a lot of it. I got to the end after it was skinned and that was enough for me. I am still sick over it.
