I wish society will open their eyes and realize that many of the dogs are in the wrong hands. People get these dogs to be guard dogs or personal protectors but that is not what they are for. They are highly animal aggressive which genetic and if someone who doesn't understand how animal aggressive they can be owns one, then the dog is in the wrong hands and that's why tragedy strikes. I don't know what else to say but society always finds something to be prejudice of as usual. |
While I agree that the owner should be held responsible, the dog is at fault too. Even if the dog is off the leash and the owner is not nearby, he/she should still behave without the owner. I know pit bulls are aggressive but that doesn't give them the right to injure other dogs. I know a lot of people who have pit bulls as pets and they would never attack another dog because I have seen them off the leash plenty of times. That dog deserves to be kept until they can come to a decision as to what they are going to do. He could easily hurt another dog.
This really hits home because I am right near VA Beach and while it could happen anywhere, it's scary to think that it happened not even 30 minutes from me. I can't even imagine what the owner is feeling right now.
