Think of all the misconceptions people have about yorkies (yappy, mean ankle biters...................................), spend an hour on a pit bull or boxer forum and tell me they do not feel the same way we do about our presious yorkies. They are dogs!
PUNISH THE OWNERS NOT THE BREED !!!
Please listen, I really only want to teach other to protect these innocent creatures. |
I did get your point and I don't think it's fair to try and assume that because I'm fairly new on this forum I'm not 'respecting' other YT members by not reading their thoughts or opinions. I don't need to subscribe to views I don't agree with in order to feel welcome. Thanks very much
Secondly, make no assumptions about my lack of knowledge. I've done a dirth of reading on this very issue because it's one that affects me very much. On any day out walking with my two pound puppy, I encounter no less than between three to six bull terrier breeds. All of which I would think (and I'm by no means an amateur when it comes to animals) are uncontrollable, unleashed and posing a serious and possibly life-threatening risk to me and my dog. I think you're missing my point somewhat - it's not about hurt feelings or protection of innocent creatures. This is a serious issue made even more so by the growing anti-social behaviour of most western cultures across the globe. People think they have a right to anything nowadays including the right to own what amounts to nothing more than a killer on a leash. No amount of 'socialisation' and 'careful interaction' will alter that fact. Look around some of the pro-pitt websites. Look at their training instructions: "must be supervised when playing with children", "must be supervised carefully when encountering other animals", "do not put in territorial situations", "do not provoke", "may attack other dogs"... this is not a normal animal and I don't understand why anyone who truly cares about animals would encourage and support the maintenance of a breed which was designed solely as an implement of the worst kind of animal cruelty. I'm not going to be pressurised into feeling bad that I'm not thinking about these 'innocent creatures' because I
have read up about it and I do know what I'm talking about. I think they're awful and I can't wait until the day they're all gone
