Your blog sucks. Pit bulls are just like every dog. I am a pitty owner and they need love just like ever dog! you are absouletly ridiculous. It people like you that ruin pits. I hope you know that labs bite more people each year than pit bulls.
you suck.
-------------------------------------------
It is people like me that ruin Pit Bulls?
I don't think so.
If you want the truth, here ya go.
People like you that think Pits are like every other dog are responsible for ruining Pit Bulls.
Pit Bull rescues that adopt to anyone that claims to be a responsible owner is ruining Pit Bulls.
Pit Bull advocates that say "love them and treat them with kindness and they will be like any other dog" are ruining Pit Bulls.
Breeders that are making more Pit Bulls, are ruining Pit Bulls.
Dog fighters that are fighting these dogs, are ruining Pit Bulls.
Animal shelters that adopt out Pit Bulls are ruining Pit Bulls.
But really the true culprit are Pit Bulls.
They are doing exactly what they were bred to do which is fight and kill.
By advocating for these dogs, you are enabling them to keep on wreaking havoc in our world.
Stop making excuses, please. We are all sick of hearing them!

you know you're a pit nutter when:
ReplyDelete1) you have the sentence structure and spelling of a 10 year old
2) you think name calling changes minds
3) you blame another breed, most likely labs or cocker spaniels
4) you claim that all dogs are the same
5) you claim that love and training can undo genetics
6) you think "you suck" is an element of debate
Why not go to DBO to get some stats, then reply with all the places where pit bulls bite more than labs? That will blow her little nutter mind.
I am still exploring DBO.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been doing this as long as c.d. to know my shit as quick as I can snap my finger yet. lol
I'm trying to get there though.
http://blog.dogsbite.org/2009/07/pit-bulls-lead-bite-counts-across-us.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that link. I saved it to favorites and will use it as proof often!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! i LOVE hate mail and hateful comments. lucky you!
ReplyDeleteYou stated...
ReplyDelete"pit-bull-type animals have accounted for 59 percent of fatal dog attacks"
ANIMALS. Not Pit Bulls....but 'pit-bull-type animals' .....that is kind of a general, broad term your using.
You state you have a rescued Pit Bull and you are proud of her. Where is she? Do you have a picture to post?
I do agree with spay and neuter programs. I believe in licensing and chipping ALL DOG BREEDS. Not just one, or in your case (pit bull type dogs) at least 4 different "pit bull" breeds.
I feel a little sick that you can honestly say if there was a ban, you would have no problem having AC take your dog and have her euthanized.
and finally, now that I'm on YOUR blog. I'll ask again:
Can you define a 'safer' dog to me?
If you are so BSL, have you followed ALL guidelines including the ones I mentioned on Craven?
e.g. posted signs on your house, muzzle her out in public, and have given the authorities a picture of her?
First of all, I did not state that Pit Bulls account for 59% of dog attacks.
ReplyDeleteIf you would have paid attention you would have noticed that I reposted an article that was on a news website. I thought it was a good one, so I posted it on my blog along with where I took it from and the authors name.
Moving right along. Posting a picture of my dog will not prove anything. I will not post pictures of my dog because of my prior involvement in the "Pit Bull" community. What would it prove anyways? Absolutely nothing.
And yes, I am unselfish enough that I would give up my own dog, if it meant that people and pets were safer. I do not have any guilt about that.
I act like there is bsl here, even though there is not. AC does have pictures of my dog that I submitted to them. I do muzzle her in public when other people are around. I do have a sign on my house that let's everyone know I have a Pit Bull and another dog.
Last but not least - Safer breed. One that is not known for it's propensity to attack and cause serious if not fatal damage, on a regular basis.
I don't see what trying to pick apart every little thing I say is going to do. I really don't.
The thing is, with most Pit Bull owners that read this blog, they will realize how true what I am saying is. Picking me apart will probably be a last attempt in trying to fight bsl before they realize THIS IS what the breed needs and start trying to get it passed.
Let me ask YOU a question.
If you truly love this breed, how can you stand by and say that everything is okay when everyday people and pets are getting killed?
Even if you do not agree with what I am saying about Pit Bull attacks, you cannot deny that they are one of the number one dog breeds to get abused. How do you sit back and know that is going on with a clear conscious? Pit Bull abuse is one of the reasons that I would love to see it passed.
The most abused dogs in this country are not pit bulls, it is the greyhound. Greyhound racing and all the industry practices that go along with it is legal unlike dog fighting. Racing greyhounds are treated like livestock instead of pets and therefore they do not fall under standard pet protection laws nor does the SPCA get involved on their behalf. Greyhounds are subject to many of the same things we are told cause pit bulls to attack: starvation, beatings, neglect, abuse, lack of training, lack of socialization, confinement, no love from humans. After years of this treatment, the lucky ones are adopted into homes, often with children, other dogs, even cats. And make no mistake, these are large, very powerful dogs.
ReplyDeleteWhen is the last time you heard of a greyhound killing someone? Or killing 20 sheep? Or attacking a full grown horse? There are two reasons for this: primarially breed genetics, but also truthful rescue organizations that educate owners and take back dogs when the owners are not doing what they should. But I would say greyhounds are a safer breed than pit bulls, and they are probably the most comparable as far as "sport" use goes.
I have heard alot about Greyhounds since being involved with Pits. I am going to have to start looking into that breed and the abuse they endure for being sport dogs. I really don't know anything about them. But one thing I do know is they are abused, and they are not out there maiming and killing everyday.
ReplyDeleteAnything that is said about the abuse, etc. of the pits, can just as easily be applied to all dogs. Greyhounds in particular are probably abused as much if not more than pit bulls. One has to study the triggers of dogs that attack to get an idea of how much this abuse affects them. Pits have all kinds of triggers, just opening a door can trigger them as demonstrated by the latest fatality in Indiana. One can understand a dog attacking under certain circumstances. The pits do it under any circumstance. It takes a great deal of study to realize the difference between pits and other breeds. When you make this realization then you get scared, very scared of pits.
ReplyDeleteHi there. Stop spamming my sites with your blog address. I don't provide free advertising. The stuff you're publishing actually encourages dog fighters, animal abusers, and backyard breeders, while discriminating against dog bite victims and endangering the public. It's irresponsible at best.
ReplyDeleteI won't postulate on your responsibility or irresponsibility as a dog owner, but I will note that your writing suggests that you (ironically, like so many thugs that get "pit bulls" for status reasons) enjoy bragging about your mastery over a great beast. On this site you have repeatedly made your dog out to be a potentially deadly beast--but not to worry, you are mighty enough to tame the creature! However, you do not think anyone else is up to the task. Such a perspective seems both arrogant and controlling, don't you think? To me, it sounds like you are just another thug talking tough about your dog so that people will respect you.
After you spend 5-10 years handling, fostering and/or training a wide variety of dogs, from "pit bulls" to Labs to poodles, AND after you spend that time researching BSL and understanding its actual effects on both dogs and people, you can return to the discussion table with a proper frame of reference. Until then, you're just another inexperienced dog owner who thinks s/he knows it all. Sorry.
I am not spamming your site. I posted a comment telling YOU how I feel.
ReplyDeleteHow in the world do you think encouraging Pit Bull owners to push for bsl is encouraging dogfighters, animal abusers, and backyard breeders? You are crazy! Not that I am surprised though, I already know you are crazy.
I am endangering the public? Wtf is wrong with you! You are the one trying to push anti bsl shit on everyone, wake the fuck up! There is something wrong with these dogs! I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS would have got a Pit Bull if I knew what I know now about them!
Idk what you are talking about me bragging about my Pit Bull. I don't even like to come on blogs and talk about my dogs. I have spent over 5 years with these dogs. My experience, and the news reports of attacks and deaths is enough - I DON'T NEED ANY MORE PROOF! And I can vouch they are messed up!
I have researched bsl, and I know that people like you put the fear of god into Pit Bull owners about it. Bsl will not hurt them, it WILL help them! But then of course you would be done with your get rich quick scheme if people knew the truth about bsl, so you just lie about it don't you! You also lie about Pit Bulls. Yes, I've looked around your website happy Pit Bull, you should be ashamed, feeding lies to people so they have no clue what to really expect from these dogs! One thing I want to point out that you say on that website, and I quote, "The vast majority of dogs, including pit bulls, are not so aggressive that they constitute a danger to human health." You seriously cannot believe these lies you are telling, can you? Have you looked at the news lately?
You are the one endangering the public and you make me sick!
Oh btw J.Thomas (stopbsl.com) you may want to take Rachel Ray off of your paws up page... Last I heard, her dog had ripped off another dogs ear and she was thinking she might have to euthanize Isabella.
ReplyDeleteBut she raised her with so much tlc.. What happened?
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/rachael_rayging_pit_bull_ordeal_eWJO7IMFCfhpcmzigecKVM
Careful, now, SME.
ReplyDeleteYour irrationality and immaturity are showing...
Be careful about what?
ReplyDeleteThis is my blog and I can be immature if I want. Although I am not being irrational or immature.
This is great! You're getting people's attention and pissing off the nutters! I love it. You're doing great work. You're also attracting people who are making great points, too.
ReplyDeleteYou're coming from a funny, in-between place that will get you flack from every side, and you're just putting it out there and not backing down. I love it, i really do! I commend you!
You know what? That is EXACTLY what 'Honesty Helps' says. "this is my blog and I can do whatever I want." IF that is the case, you're sounding like the normal Pit Hater....Spouting off with insults, immaturity, and lashing out against Pit owners.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like your pit bull, then give it to a family that actually wants to love it.
P.-- The fatality in Indiana is still under investigation. DBO is jumping to conclusions and being a little sarcastic (in my opinion) saying that by opening a front door can trigger aggression.....if that was what the dog was TRAINED to do, then yes. But under normal circumstances....there was something else that made the dog attack the girl.
SME-- I just don't understand how BSL is going to STOP the backyard breeding and dogfighting.
Guns and drugs are legislated, yet you still see them out on the streets.
.
.
.
and to answer your question, I don't deny the media chooses to report more Pit Bull attacks then any other breed. I don't deny there are A LOT of irresponsible pet owners. I don't deny there are people out there with pit bulls for the "I'm tough" status.
You choose what you want to see vs. the whole picture. Yes, there are a lot of pit bull attacks that are reported. I post multiple articles with misidentification. A lady thought a Boxer was a Pit Bull. In fact, in one article it went from the headline stating, "pit bull attack" then went to pit mix, then went to lab mix, then at the end of the article it was actually a lab/rott mix....in the SAME article!!
So yes, pit bull attacks are REPORTED more than any other breed.
http://blog.dogsbite.org/2008/12/anti-bsl-organization-stop-bslcom-gives.html
ReplyDeleteSME, now you know what the agenda is. BSL makes it harder for dog fighters to operate, and stop-BSL does not want dog fighting to stop. It's all a scam, playing on regular pit owners emotions to use them and get donations.
thanks for sending that. I looked everywhere for it yesterday but could not find it.
ReplyDeleteYou know what? That is EXACTLY what 'Honesty Helps' says. "this is my blog and I can do whatever I want." IF that is the case, you're sounding like the normal Pit Hater.
ReplyDelete-----------------------------------
It IS my blog. And I know the truth offends alot of people, but there is a reason I am doing this and it is to help Pit Bull owners understand that these dogs need to be regulated.
I do not hate Pit Bulls. I think you have the wrong idea.
I LOVE Pit Bulls! I love the way the look. I could look at pictures of them all day long. And I love mine. I do not have the heart to get rid of it after everything we have been through. My family would not forgive me if I did.
So I hope that you understand what I am saying. I will always admire them in pictures, and sure I will play with the PUPS that I run across. And no, I do not plan on getting rid of mine. But I will never get another one. And I will never trust another one. It's just too risky and given all of stories and evidence that shows Pit Bulls attacks are far worse than attacks from other breeds, it's just not worth the risk.
I know from experience that Pits are born with dog aggression. And all it takes is one little accident (forgetting to lock your gate, the dog running out of the house when a child opens it, etc.) and the dog will get out and kill a pet or could attack a person. It happens, and it is in the news everyday. Why is it okay to allow dogs with such strong dog aggression in society today with no regulation? It is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. We have laws against drunk drivers and illegally carrying weapons so that the police have the power to arrest them when they break the law. It should be the same way with a dog that has such enormous strength. Yes, there will be those out there that will try to break that law, but when they do the police can do what it takes to get them out of our communities and keep us safe. Is any of this registering in your head? I hope so.
Greyhounds are strong.
ReplyDeleteRottweilers are strong.
Dobies are strong.
They were not bred to fight and kill.
Pits were. And we know that without a doubt.
It makes no sense at all to let these natural born killing machines to go unchecked, unregulated, especially when you think about all the people they are killing. They were bred to kill dogs, and they are out getting confused and killing people.
It's totally unacceptable!
Omg. I am still amazed at the level of stupidity stopbsl is showing! All you PB people that are reading this blog, make sure you look up a few comments to see what Stopbsl is saying. It doen't make a lick of sense! And alot of PB owners are PAYING this idiot to keep hurting and abusing Pit Bulls!
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda funny how the link sent to you....http://blog.dogsbite.org/2008/12/anti-bsl-organization-stop-bslcom-gives.html
ReplyDeletementions the word 'slander' in the 2nd paragraph.
Kind of like how DBO aka Ms. Lynn was forced to withdraw a certain statement about the American Canine Foundation and how THEY are linked to dogfighting. They threatened to sue her for...wait for it....."Slander"
I know exactly where the Pit Bull has come from.
I've fostered countless rescues.
Although I have never witnessed a dog fight. I've seen disturbing videos, I know what the Pit Bull is capable of. That is why I chose to aid in a better life for them rather than restrict them, quartantine them, and euthanize them. Some were aggressive that had to be put down, some were scared of any type of affection, and others that were so happy to see you they never leave your side.
Like I said before...I'm all for regulations, but for ALL breeds. ALL need to be spayed/neutered, microchipped and registered. Not just Pit Bulls.
A response to your last comment. You stated it's too risky and all it takes is one time, e.g. unlocked gate, running out of the house, etc. That sounds to me like lazy and/or bad owners. My front gate is locked, my dogs don't run out of the front door.
Just something I have been noticing, when you talk about Pit Bulls in the positive, you always talk about how they LOOK and that's all. Is it the 'look' that you love. You have never once mentioned about how your Pit Bull is a 'wiggle butt' or licks your face or plays with your family or just a silly goof. It's always about the 'look.' You can look at pictures all day.
I don't know....could mean nothing. It's just something I noticed.
I am not even going to touch what your saying about dbo, because the numbers don't lie.
ReplyDeleteDo you really think that because Colleen made 1 booboo, it changes the numbers of attacks and horrific stories on her website?
You really went to that link and totally ignored everything on it except her mistake? That's sad. I guess it is really going to take alot longer than I thought to open people's eyes, and that's time the suffering people and Pits just do not have.
Thats what Pit Bull owners do. They grasp at straws and try to face anything but the facts.
You asked about how I talk about how they look, and let me answer that for ya.
Just like there is a whole line of different brands of motorcycles, and there are people that only want a Harley because of how it looks and sounds and drives, I love the look of Pits. I did not start this blog to "talk" about my Pit. So, no, I will not talk about her being a wiggle butt or licking my face or being a silly goof. All of that is irrelevant because I want to focus on how many people and animals this breed is killing at a rate much higher than that of any other breed.
That's all. I don't get why Pit Bull lovers keep on bringing up the subject of my Pit Bull. Mine is 1 out of millions. I am trying to get people to see the big picture and not see it as one sided. That is why in one of my posts I said please remove you and your dog out of your thinking for a minute.
This isn't about just one Pit Bull. It is about having a breed of dogs in society, that are so powerful your average person cannot properly control/contain them and they killing at a higher rate than any other breed and will continue to do so until regualtions are put in place.
Is it sinking in a little?
I will tell you what is sinking in for me.
So called Pit Bull lovers are failing mankind, and also the breed they supposedly love so much. It is a tragedy.
Do you want to know, how I know, that PB people really take anything anyone says about Pit Bulls as a personal threat?
ReplyDeleteHere is a comment left by anon.
"Like I said before...I'm all for regulations, but for ALL breeds. ALL need to be spayed/neutered, microchipped and registered. Not just Pit Bulls."
I AM SO SICK OF HEARING THEM SAY THIS!!!!!!!!
If you don't mind doing it if it is for all breeds, then wake up and see their IS A PITBULL SPECIFIC PROBLEM!
PB owners have to open their eyes and see that Pit Bulls do not have the same problem as Cocker Spaniels, Poodles, Golden Retrievers or any other breed!
There is a problem with these dogs! And if you wake up and smell the stinch, we may be able to fix some of these problems!!!!!!!
(I hope a lighbulb just turned on in their heads!)
"Guns and drugs are legislated, yet you still see them out on the streets."
ReplyDeleteand there are penalty tied to gun laws. almost none tied to dog laws. dogs maul and kill and the owners and often the dogs escape impunity.
"Kind of like how DBO aka Ms. Lynn was forced to withdraw a certain statement about the American Canine Foundation and how THEY are linked to dogfighting. They threatened to sue her for...wait for it....."Slander"
i keep reading this, that was not deleted. more pit nutters lies. http://blog.dogsbite.org/2009/04/anti-bsl-group-american-canine.html
i know one of those crack pot blogs like bluedog state says that it was deleted but it wasn't. they like to claim this as victory. it is similar to the exaggerated list of famous pit bull owners.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT!
ReplyDeleteI guess I wan't paying attn when all of that was going on, so I didn't know how to respond.
IT'S NOT A VICTORY!! THE MAULINGS AND NUMBERS OF DEATHS ARE PROOF AND WILL KEEP ON RISING UNTIL WE MAKE SOME CHANGES!!!!
My timestamp is not right. I am working on getting it fixed, it may take awhile. Sorry
ReplyDelete"this is my blog and I can do whatever I want." IF that is the case, you're sounding like the normal Pit Hater....Spouting off with insults, immaturity, and lashing out against Pit owners."
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to me like a normal pit bull OWNER - its all about me, facts be damned, and everyone who doesn't agree with me HATES pit bulls. And I will rant and call you names to prove my point. Because THAT is exactly what pit bull owners do - check any comment section of any mauling story, and there's plenty of those to choose from.
"So yes, pit bull attacks are REPORTED more than any other breed." Of course, they attack more than any other breed. I personally know of several pit bull attacks - we're talking kids in the hospital with 50 stitches - that were never reported in the media. I've also seen dog attack stories where the dog is called a "mix" when the picture is clearly a pit bull. The media COVERS for pits with little blurbs from the local rescue angel saying how great they are. Anyone who still thinks the media is out to get pit bulls is living on a different planet.
And by the way, accidents happen to the most responsible of us, that's why they are called accidents. None of us is perfect, but you can't make a mistake when you own a pit.
"this is my blog and I can do whatever I want." IF that is the case, you're sounding like the normal Pit Hater....Spouting off with insults, immaturity, and lashing out against Pit owners."
ReplyDelete--------------------------------------
I refuse to even answer this blogger. because I haven't spewed out insults, or lashed out against Pit owners at all. Hell, I am a Pit owner, wth.
And you are right! Pit attacks ARE reported more, because there are more of them. Plain and simple!
ReplyDeleteSME-
ReplyDeleteyou contradict yourself so many times, I have no idea what you're trying to say.
"Mine is 1 out of millions. I am trying to get people to see the big picture and not see it as one sided"
Replace "people" with "Haters" Plain and simple.
You proclaim you're a Pit Bull owner. Your pit bull is HIGHLY relevant in this whole entire Blog. The fact you are basically denouncing the breed is asinine! It's Cookoo!!
"They grasp at straws and try to face anything but the facts."
I know full well that Pit Bulls do attack, they do maul, and they do cause horrific damage. But I also know other breeds attack, maul, and cause horrific damage.
If BSL worked, then why is DDA of '91 under such scrutiny? Why is Ohio repealing it? Why did it get shot down in Elgin, IL....again. Why did Holland lift it? Why did Ontario get blasted a few weeks ago?
Because it doesn't fix ANYTHING...even Colleen said in an interview, "BSL is not designed to stop dog attacks, just pit bulls"
Unless, you think it's alright for other breeds to attack and maul?
Just as long as Pits are regulated, everything is ok?
"I've also seen dog attack stories where the dog is called a "mix" when the picture is clearly a pit bull"
Really??? Because Animal Control and a board of Council members can't even tell the difference simply by it's "Looks"
Anytime a news report resembles or utters the word 'Pit Bull' BAM! it's up on the DBO blog postings.
I cannot help it that you don't understand what I am trying to say. I can't make it any clearer. If you don't get it it is because you refuse to.
ReplyDeleteMine is one out of millions! The fight is not about MY one Pit Bull. Look at the big picture and take yourself out of the equation.
My blog is directed towards Pit Bull owners, so if YOU replace the word people with haters, and you calling yourself a hater?
Now your not making sense. Seriously.
I understand BSL, I understand the attacks that take place, I understand why haters want pit bulls banned and/or regulated.
ReplyDeleteIf your pit bull is one out of millions, the fight is about millions of pit bulls INCLUDING YOURS, MINE, the guys down the street, the lady's in the city, the family that lives in the suburb.....EVERY pit bull is affected.
"My blog is directed towards Pit Bull owners"
Are you not a pit bull owner?
The only reason I'm continuing to question you is because it's totally irrational to own something only to ridecule and talk about restricting it. That's like saying, let's restrict cars...but you OWN one!
The article on the Pit mix that was abused from suspected dogfighting... BSL won't stop it from happening. It's dogFIGHTERS and ABUSERS they need to go after, NOT the normal pit bull owner.
You know what anon above me?
ReplyDeleteI'm not even going to answer you. Everything you are asking me, I've already answered.
Just reread through the comments and hopefully you'll get it. The answers are there as I've already answered each one of those questions.
The problem is you are only reading/comprehending the parts you want to.
I suspect that you are like a lot of pit bull owners out there that are so emotionally attached to their dogs that they WILL NOT accept common sense, nor will they accept the documented cases of pit bull attacks as valid. But it happens FAR TOO OFTEN.
So why don't you do some research yourself so that you can be as smart as the rest of us that have the gift of common sense. Pit Bulls are DANGEROUS.
Here is a good starting place for you -
They are not just pulling these statistics out of their ass..
http://www.dogsbite.org/index.php
No one blinks an eye when people say beagles follow their noses, pointers point, border collies herd, that this is what these dogs were BRED to do. But try to have a discussion about pit bulls and what they were bred to do and you get remarks like these:
ReplyDelete"you are basically denouncing the breed is asinine! It's Cookoo!!"
What is "cookoo" is thinking saying pit bulls were created to fight and have bred in traits for this end is denoucing them. Or is racism. Or breedism. Or that somehow pit bulls need to be taught how to fight and in the same breath say they are the same as all other dogs. Why do you think dogmen have extensive pedigrees of pit bulls and only pit bulls if you can just teach a dog to fight? I know, "cookoo", right?
"If BSL worked, then why is DDA of '91 under such scrutiny? Why is Ohio repealing it? Why did it get shot down in Elgin, IL....again. Why did Holland lift it? Why did Ontario get blasted a few weeks ago?" Because pro-pit people fight these things, REGARDLESS OF HOW WELL THEY WORK.
"The only reason I'm continuing to question you is because it's totally irrational to own something only to ridecule and talk about restricting it. That's like saying, let's restrict cars...but you OWN one!" The blogger is not ridiculing anything - she is being honest about the dog she has and the current state of affairs surrounding pit bulls. She has clearly stated that if she knew then what she knows now - if pro-pit groups were truthful - she would have not gotten the dog. But she does have it, and she has a responsibility towards it, and she takes precautions accordingly. If everyone owned a pit like her, we wouldn't need BSL. Neither I nor anyone I know has been hurt from a pit bull owned by a dog fighter or drug dealer - it has always been the regular owner.
God Turkey, you said exactly how I feel.
ReplyDeleteI know one thing about this blog, when new people find it, they will ask ALL of these questions and more, and I will probably end up saying the same exact thing atleast 5,000,000 times. Or sometimes I am not even going to answer, because if they would go back a few comments they could find the answer.
I even went as far as to state my exact feelings and explain what I am blogging about in the comment box when you leave a comment, and they still are not going to get it.
"No one blinks an eye when people say beagles follow their noses, pointers point, border collies herd, that this is what these dogs were BRED to do."
ReplyDeleteRight. And the average dog owners get beagles because they follow their noses, pointers because they point, and border collies because they herd.
So therefore, the average dog owner gets a pit bull because it can fight.
Turkey, you have chosen an applicable screen name.
You guys are hypocritical. You accuse all "pit nutters" of using the same arguments in defense of the breed, yet not one of you "animal lovers" have not used the "beagles are bred to, pointers are bred to, collies are bred to" argument.
Animal lover? Dogs are animals. Pit bulls are dogs. Go after the people that "allow" their dogs to bite and attack.
And SME, "education" means teaching. Teaching requires repetition. If you're not interested in explaining your views over and over, then you're not "educating", just "spouting" and, in essence, wasting your time.
But, by all means, please continue.
There is a reason that you, CD, Honesty, and your ilk, have only each other, and the same people over and over, agreeing and commenting on each of your blogs.
Your past approaches have not worked, and are not working now. Nor will your fake "pit bull owner to pit bull owners" routine.
I disagree anon 3:31
ReplyDeleteI know for a fact what C.D is doing is working!
And obviously, if you look at the comments on our blog, we don't just have each other. There are many people that agree and comment they just have not set up a blogger account.
I plan on trying to make Pit owners wake up and see what is going on by me blogging. I do that on the blog part, not the comment section. k? And at any time I might decide to turn off the comments because of people like you that will argue with a brick wall.
My blog is intended to be educational. It's alot more truthful than what you'll find over at the popular Pit BUll lover websites.
the average dog owner chooses a dog for form not function. most people select a dog based on how the dog looks or how they think the dog will make them look. the 8000 beagles and 5000 border collies on petfinder are there because the owner did NOT choose them for their nose or herding abilities.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous is still not getting it, and that's probably on purpose.
ReplyDelete"Animal lover? Dogs are animals. Pit bulls are dogs. Go after the people that "allow" their dogs to bite and attack." You mean like pit nutters do? Calling everyone an irresponsible owner before the facts are in? I don't see the point in blaming an owner for what a dog's genetics are, especially if an accident occurred, or more frequently, the owner was misinformed by pro-pit propaganda. Yes, pit bulls are dogs, and speaking the truth about pit bulls does not make one a hater nor any less of an animal lover. Most people who want BSL want it not only to help innocent people and pets, but also to help end abuse of pit bulls. That's how animal lovers operate.
And this is how responsible rescues operate: when someone wants to adopt a beagle for its demeanor and size, the rescue explains its genetic traits and warns the adopter to keep the beagle on a leash or in a secure fence at all times as the dog will roam (follow its nose). Likewise, a border collie rescue will make it very clear these dogs need a job to do and have a lot of energy. Contrast that with pit bull rescues that, at best, send mixed messages like pit bulls are like every other dog but need a special owner. Many deny there is any genetic dog aggression in pit bulls, few mention an adopter may lose their home owners insurance. See the difference yet?
