Pitbulls have their place in the
world. But the typical person is not capable of providing them with the
training and level of care that they need and deserve. Therefore, I
judge most (not all) Pitbulls and their owners to be a liability.
Aside
from the headlines that pure Pitbulls have made, another tragedy is
their being bred into the general dog population. The owners of these
other dogs also share responsibility for what I regard as poor
judgement. Neutering and spaying as options have an integral part in
society for all animals (naked apes included).
One tragic
consequence is the higher number of Pitbulls and Pitbull mixes that
have to be destroyed because their owners either negligently or
unwittingly did not provide their dogs with what they needed. Watch the
Dog Whisperer for some insights.
I have been around all
kinds of dogs and have always had one or two (usually from the pound).
And because of my experience, I always avoid being too close to
aggressive breeds. I also know to give any and all dogs I don't know
well their space.
What I really hate is dog owners who keep their dogs on a chain instead of providing a proper enclosure.
Even worse are people who let their female dogs have puppies that they wind up dumping on the side of the road.
I
partially judge a person by the canine company they keep and how well
they keep it. I don't blame the dog. Them, I all too often have to
feel sorry for.
