Here in my town the local newspaper reports every pitbull incident in hopes to get them banned. What’s your thoughts?
Reason i bring it up is because my sister has two pitbulls. They escaped last week and one was shot by a police officer. The local newspaper took a photo of her dead dog and put it on the front page. Believe that shit? http://www.victoriaadvocate.com/news/2012/mar/16/ep_pit_bull_attack_031712_170669/
She has the dogs as protection because she lives next to drug dealers, who do you think called the cops when the dogs were loose? The dogs didn’t have any history of being violent towards humans. One man claimed to have been attacked, yet had no injuries that needed medical attention and did not want to be named. One dog was shot in her yard, the other was dragged out by animal control from under her garage.
I have never been a fan of pitbulls myself. They look like violent animals. I did a little more research this past week and believe they are getting a bad rap that is not justified.
Yeah, I've recently been motivated by those who rescue dogs.
I've wanted a purebred Rott since I was a kid and at age 39, owning my first house, I got one and paid a hefty price for him. Meanwhile, there are tons of dogs out there who were abandoned, abused, etc. and need a home, so I have decided that when my dog is around 3 (1 now) I want to rescue a 2-year old, good-sized dog, for a companion for him. I don't want to do the puppy thing again but still young enough to have some play in him/her.
Good shit cr122 rescuing those dogs. I'm glad to know you.
I personally don't like the Pit Breed but I have had 2 Rotts and I know their rep is unjustified so I figure it's the same with Pits...
I'm about to buy a Mastiff shortly I would never consider a Pit... Not my style.
