I can tell this story because my beloved brother passed away some years ago. He was serving papers on a drug dealer and was attacked by the drug dealers pit bull. He got away from the dog and drove to the hospital with his hand holding pressure against his femoral artery that had been damaged.
A few weeks later he went back and called the druggie on the phone and told him in no uncertain words what he thought about him and his dog. When the druggie came outside he had the pleasure of watching his dogs head explode from a 130 grain slug at 3200 feet per second.
The druggie got the message loud and clear.
That’s why I roll my eyes when pit defenders claim to be dog lovers and more compassionate than the rest of us for “understanding” a “misunderstood” breed etc. Some claim to be “freedom fighters” for our rights etc. It’s all sociopathic lies.
The drug dealer used the dog as a weapon and an “expendable” body double for himself in threatening others with the expectation that only his dog will receive any potential retaliation.
Pit nutters are so vocal “defending” the breed as “perfect” service animals and “babysitters” and dress them in bonnets with a baby pacifier on a bib around their neck (that one creeps me out, it’s like the dog ate the baby and assumed its disguise) but they completely ignore just how many of these dogs are give up to shelters because they just aren’t pets. The “compassionate” pit nutters put these dogs in the line of fire (aggression or retaliation) or in shelters awaiting euthanasia while screaming that the rest of us are uncaring.
