Reply To: Pitbulls…why?
Lars, as predicted, you go right to “the owner is the problem, not the dog.”
Well, we can’t prevent people from owning dogs, but perhaps we can prevent the kind of dog they own.
The guy who feels a need to own a pitbull is quite often (at least here in the US) the same guy who feels a need to carry a gun or a scary knife, who drives a big wheels rig or is obsessed with death metal. (Enough stereotypes there for you? Well, they aren’t always true but do apply often enough.)
We can do something about a vicious pitbull only AFTER they bite or kill most of the time. But suppose there were no pitbulls?
I agree, some small dogs can be quite aggressive and even vicious, but let’s be realistic: Would it be better to be attacked by an aggressive Yorkshire terrier or cocker spaniel…or a pitbull. I’ll take the Yorkie or spaniel, I don’t know about you.
