Cesar is someone who will encourage people to adopt pits to save them from biased perception. Some of those people will be maimed and killed for their kindness. Those who own pits who have not attacked yet, will lord it over others by claiming pits need “special owners” and “not everyone can handle a pit” as if they are simply superior. Some of those will go on to be maimed or killed and the others not yet harmed will throw them under the bus too, claiming they must have been bad owners.
Good news for Cesar. Now owners are beginning to face criminal charges for the maulings and killings. It comes too late for so many who are unable to afford the reconstructive surgery or are missing limbs or have been killed because some people fall for the propaganda out of compassion and others need to feel like they are special owners.
When the medical costs and criminal charges are finally attached to the responsible parties, fewer people will be able to or willing to afford owning a “pet” cougar. They may have to resort to less lethal breeds. Rotties are a distant second in yearly killings and maimings of people in the US so they will probably experience a decline in the pet population. It will be merciful, though. The most donated dog to animal shelters is pits followed by rotties. These animals are usually euthanized. When people realize the hype about unfair characterization of these dogs is just hype, they surrender their dog or let them go in the countryside to form packs that prey on animals and people.
