Pit bulls are thug accessories. Their owners tend to be lower class, the type of nasty people you know are lower class even when unaccompanied by the beasts.
Every time we go to the dog park the other dog owners are on pins and needles when one shows up. One got into a fight with a smaller dog last year, the owner of the (smaller) dog tried to break it up. He succeeded, but not without losing a finger to the pit.
I hate the breed.
The ‘star’ of Pit Bulls & Parolees supports regulation of the breed. She has more experience with pits than anyone and doesn’t think they should be out in the general population with people.
In 2013, pits accounted for more than 90% of the dog fatalities. Mauling rates were almost as bad. (Mauling means massive hospitalization, trauma surgery, and life-time disability. Not a joke.)
And yet, all I see on Craigslist are pit puppies for sale. No labs. No poms. Just more pits. They’re being bred for money, not for quality dogs. And people feel sorry for them and think “I can raise them right” so they adopt them and keep the chain going. So sad.
Do you live in a state that allows CCW?
