Have YOU ever had to give up a dog because of popular OPINION? Because I have, and it sucks. And when people use them as an example, it hits a nerve when you've been forced to put down an innocent family member, not because of guilt, but because of perception. These posts, using pits as "comparison" put a breed I love and advocate at risk, even if some don't think so. |
Excuse me, but I have FIVE pit Bulls in My home. I am advocate! The only way I used Pit Bulls as an EXAMPLE was because it was a Pit Bull that I was walking at the time that the problem occurred with the woman and the little dog that the woman thought it was funny. If I had been walking a lab I would have said Lab, or if I was walking a German Shepard I would have said German Shepard. I am fully aware of all the ignorant prejudice out there for Pit Bulls and am ready to face it head on. I understand and respect your need to defend the breed. as I said, I live with and love five of them and work for a Pit bull rescue. but to accuse me of doing wrong here is and say I am not an advocate for Pit bulls is ridicules and unfair.
