43. Hey, let's lay off the Pit Bull owners!

Tue Dec 30, 2014, 07:03 PM

Dec 2014

There are no bad dogs, only bad owners. We just got done rescuing a pit bull puppy and he was the sweetest most loving puppy imaginable. We rescued him out of an abusive situation and got him to a Pit Bull Rescue organization where he could be adopted into a family who wanted him and knew how to train him. Dogs are not inherently dangerous, and Pit Bulls are not a 'bully breed'. They are large, well-muscled dogs. Like any dog they will try and find their level when socializing with other dogs and/or humans. So, please don't somehow equate Pit Bull owners with stupid humans carrying firearms they don't know how to handle.

Equate stupid dog owners who do not know how to control their dogs with stupid firearm owners if you want, but your above statement is akin to saying "Dog owners and Colt .45 Revolver owners".
