Dr. Laura Says Pit Bulls 'Should All Be Put Down,' Learns Dog Lovers Feel Otherwise

In a recent segment about how to avoid loneliness, sometimes shocking SiriusXM radio talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger suggested that all pit bulls should be killed -- a diatribe that ended up biting her right in the behind.

After suggesting listeners could adopt a pet to curb loneliness, Schlessinger said on her December 15 show that she'd recently visited a local animal shelter, where she was surprised to find that most of the animals there were pits. "It was about 95 percent pit bulls. Or pit bull mixes," she observed.

Her takeaway was brutal.

"Now I know this is going to get somebody angry," Schlessinger predicted, "but I think they should all be put down."

I think you would find a variety of opinions on both sides of the aisle. Certainly we see many opinions on DU.

The OP has no notion of the breakdown of left/right opinions on pit bulls, but will employ any and all subterfuge in service of his obsession. I'd be willing to bet there are more RW pit owners than liberals.

my experience has been different, most the owners I know are white, macho, douchebags. So admit it, none of us, including the OP, should make this a political issue.

First, she lied about the nudes (taken by her then-married boyfriend, and BTW "Dr" Laura was married to someone else too,) claiming the nudes weren't her.

Then she tried to get the courts to ban the nudes.

When that failed, it was "Nudes? What nudes?"

He put that smut on its own page and linked to it every chance he got...some days I think he actively searched for a "Doc Meng" story so he could post the pictures.

It was a wonderful public service and he was pleased to do it.

Maybe she could learn a thing or two about compassion. But then again, maybe not.

Talk of "extermination" has occurred here before, senselessly and laughably, but has still happened.

For the record, she's a moron. Now go take on the day.

LOL.

I agree with you that it's inane to assert that any breed is 'inherently' so.
