3. Wonderful! Is it yours or where can we get copies to post or handout?

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. I got it off of my FB page.

4. We do the same thing with large segments of the underclass

Humans are entitled to the same barbaric treatment, and we are surprised and fearful when one of them turns against the society that spawned them. And if they band together, we call them a gang, and then it's open season.

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. Yeah, Humans suck. All for one and none for all.

[JuniperLea]

9. That is exactly what happens...

Very well stated! Corner them, squeeze them, then tut, cluck, pft and roll eyes when they squeal!

[hlthe2b]

6. Right on target...

I really like pitbulls and find this whole phenomenon (and the ignorance behind it) to be just dismal. I had to laugh/cry when a DUer stated that they "had never heard of pitbulls until about 20 years ago..." which tells one all you need to know about how the media has propagated and escalated the paranoia...

8. I love pit bulls.

:-)

[JuniperLea]

10. Notice how this happy hound still has his ears...

It makes me so sad to see these beautiful beasts with their ears all wrapped up after the brutality... I glare at the owners when I can. Idiots.

[SammyWinstonJack]

12. They are beautiful aren't they?

[JuniperLea]

16. Very...

And so precious. And so loving... unless they are mistreated.

To quote a friend of mine... "Don't blame the wrong end of the leash." (TM)

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. My son has a pit bull. Nia has been with my son and his family since she

was six weeks old. She is such a sweetheart. A gentle soul.

So loving.

My granddaughter who is an Army vet tech is who posted this on my fb page.

[hlthe2b]

18. Yes.. fortunately boxers are now commonly seen "natural"

But, dobermans and other "aggressive-status symbol" breeds continue to be mutilated.

It's moving to the 'greatest' page, so should get some.

21. Very sad.

24. I've met mean, dangerous pit bulls and I've met pit bulls who were so slobberingly loving

that I was more ready to run from them than the mean ones :rofl: Too much love!

[SammyWinstonJack]

28. Any dog can be mean. it's just depends on who raises them.

I am a dog lover. I have three dogs. All terriers.

Two males and one female. All raised in a loving environment and all loving and well behaved.


Two of the three are rescues, who came to me from a very bad place and who are healthy and happy.

I cherish them

But pit bulls get a horrible rep and I don't think it is fair and it will take public awareness of the breed to change how pit bulls are viewed and treated.

Just my two cents.

[MicaelS]

25. The problem is irresponsible pet owners

Not just the ones who let their dogs run unleashed, and their cats roam outside, but those owners who treat their animal like substitute human children who never grow up.

I don't give a damn how cuddly, wuddly and cute your precious little Fido or Flower is to you, they are NOT human beings. Yes I know you REALLY love them because they are substitute human children who never grow up. They are eternally dependent on you. You can lavish attention and affection on them. They give you love and affection without criticism. Unlike human children who WILL leave, or tell you you're full of shit.

Some pets in this country are better fed, housed and medically cared for than humans.

I don't like dog owners who let their dogs run unleashed and then scream their outrage when the dog gets shot by a cop for trying to bite someone.

I don't like cat owners who let their cats roam outside killing songbirds, because said owners are anthropomorphizing with their cat's desire "to be free".

I don't like owners who let their animals roam, then scream their outrage when the animal gets run over by a vehicle, and they curse the driver.

I like animals fine as long as people regard them as animals and not as human beings.

It's just the type of owners I describe above who I dislike.

:rant:

[Worship Money]

29. Just to point out

Most of the people who do those things do them because they DON'T care for their pet. Not because they have sugary ideas about the animal needing freedom.

Most of us who have pets and CARE about them act in just about the exact opposite way as described above.

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. All true. My dogs have been fixed and licensed and kept in a fenced backyard.

They are up to date on their vacs and micro chipped. I don't allow them to fun free. They are never out of my sight.


However, and you won't like this, my pets are part of my family and I treat them as such. :shrug:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

38. Mine are my kids.

These dogs are sweet, loving and just big babies. My babies. If you have an animal and they aren't part of your family, you don't deserve that animal.

[Worship Money]

42. Yep

My dogs are my goddamn family, and I will treat, care for, and defend them as such.

[hlthe2b]

43. Geebus.. who pee'd in your corn flakes?

I certainly agree with all your points re: responsible pet ownership, BUT, who are you to tell people how to feel towards their pets?

Having dealt with many an elderly or isolated sick individual whose only regular companion, at the end of their full lives, was their dog/cat, I'll be damned if I will let that comment go. It is often the ONLY thing that keeps them going and I revere the pets who make their lives worth living, no matter how difficult it might be. If treating that beloved dog or cat as they would their own child brings them happiness, who are you to denounce them?


I have found people who truly love animals to be the kindest, most compassionate people in the word--to both animals and other people. I'll take more of them, thank you very much.

31. Poor doggies!!!!!!!

I love all animals and what a good point that makes. Thanks for sharing.

[SammyWinstonJack]

32. I too love all animals! And thank you for replying!

33. Tragic. :*( Shameful custodians of this earth

and earth's creatures.

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. Earth's creatures. Belonging to the truly innocent victims.

How dare we!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

36. Most of the Pits I've met were sweet, loving little babies.

The mean ones I've heard about have always had douchebag owners.

46. Yes, the dog is the one I fear if it is eating my face in unprovoked rage!

BUT, we do have to stop these damned puppy mills, we have to severely punish those who train fighting dogs. Why not do what the officials did early on in the war on drugs; seize the property of puppy mill owners, seize property of those who train fighting dogs and sell them at auction? Seize their bank accounts, go after their financial backers with a vengeance.

But once the dog learns fighting is ok, yes, you have to fear the animal, rightly so. When I was about 5 years old I was bit in the face by a dog, yes, you fear the dog.
When I was 15 I was attacked on the street by a trucking Co. Guard dog that got out of the fenced enclosure, I feared the dog.
