Pit Bull hating reporter gives bashing speech!!!

[Guest Anonymous]

I happened to be watching the news last night, something i almost never do, and this guy comes on doing his little editorial report, and he just goes ballistic bashing on pit bulls!! Saying they are good for only one thing, being mean and that there is no use for them. he wants to puch for BSL in the area and is happy and excited that IOWA recently addopted legislation against the APBT.

take a look:

[size=2][quote]Dear Mr. Travis,
[color=orange]"I'M TOLD THAT PIT BULLS ARE THE MOST POPULAR BREED OF DOG FOR GANGS IN OMAHA...
PIT BULLS ARE USED FOR ILLEGAL DOG FIGHTS HERE IN THE CITY...THERE'S BIG MONEY IN THIS SICK STUFF... THIS MEANS THESE DOGS ARE BEING BRED IN BIG NUMBERS TO BE AGGRESSIVE TO ATTACK TO KILL..."[/color]
[i]So am I to understand that you would like to see the product of illegal activity take away one of the freedoms that this country allows us to have, OUR OWN CHOICE OF .... I understand your concern with the Pit Bull breed, but as you stated yourself it is gangs breeding this breed for the purpose of illegal activities. So shall we take away our freedom to bear arms because gangs go out and kill each other and innocent by-standers, what about taking away our freedom of privacy because of the number of terrorists that "might" be living in our "LAND OF THE FREE" country. My point is that there comes a time when the solution to a problem is not to ban but to enforce existing laws. The Pit Bull has been an American Icon for a long time, why would you want to take this away rather than educate responsibility and accountability. [/i]
[color=orange]"JUST LOOK AT THE DAMAGE THESE DOGS CAN DO... I THINK ALL DOGS ARE CAPABLE OF BITING... BUT PIT BULLS ARE CAPABLE OF KILLING... OR AT LEAST DOING SOME SERIOUS AND LIFE CHANGING DAMAGE..."[/color]
[i]You yourself have acknowledge that all dogs are capable of biting, you fail to realize that ALL dogs are also capable of being trained to attack and kill; although I doubt a small breed like an Italian Greyhound would be very successful at it, the capability IS there. Do you really think that banning a specific breed is going to stop "gangs" from breeding dogs to fight each other. Do you not realize that they will eventually turn to another breed, and if we ban that one what next, keep going down the line until we reach the beloved Lab or Golden Retreiver. Again the solution to the problem is to educate responsibility and accountability and to enforce the existing laws.[/i]
[color=orange]"I DON'T WANT TO HERE THE ARGUMENT THAT IT'S NOT THE DOG... IT'S THE OWNER... TELL THAT TO THE PEOPLE THAT GET ATTACKED..."[/color]
[i]Ah! but it IS the owner and the breeder. It would be greatly beneficial for You to read the standard that the breed is supposed to exhibit.
[b]From the AKC breed standard:[/b]
[color=brown]"Over the past 50 years, careful breeding has produced today's [b]American Staffordshire Terrier [/b]who is affectionate, reliable, and an especially good dog for children. The American Staffordshire Terrier is a happy, outgoing, stable, and confident dog who makes a wonderful family pet. The American Staffordshire Terrier is adaptable to country or city living, the only thing that will break his spirit and his heart is lack of his owner's fond attention."
"The [b]Staffordshire Bull Terrier [/b]has great affection for people. Staffordshire Bull Terriers are gentle, affectionate, trustworthy, and loyal. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier requires a rigorous exercise regime to maintain his muscle tone. He will live happily in the city or the country as long as he is given a good physical workout."
"[b]Bull Terriers [/b]are playful, fun-loving, sensitive, and affectionate dogs who make wonderful pets and companions, despite their tough appearance. They have tiny triangular eyes, and short erect ears. The Bull Terrier is happiest when they are with the people they love. The closer the better. They are miserable and unhappy if shut away in a basement or kept outside away from human companionship."
"The [b]Bulldog[/b] is revered for his loving disposition and ability to get along with other dogs. He loves the companionship....The disposition should be equable and kind, resolute and courageous (not vicious or aggressive), and demeanor should be pacific and dignified. These attributes should be countenanced by the expression and behavior." [/color]

Do these really sound like dangerous breeds. I guess the children who played in the show Little Rascals had a guardian angel protecting them from there vicious Bull Dog. That the Spuds McKenzie dog was too dangerous to work with in the beer commercials, etc
Bad breeder's equate to bad breeding's which in turn equate to bad temperment's, conformation and health, which in turn equate to a poor quality dog. Responsible breeding practices, breeding for health and temperment produce a product that is not only predictable but one that is true to the written standard. Again the solution is to educate responsibility and accountability and to enforce the existing laws.

Bye the way, I do not own any of the Bully breeds mentioned, just someone who doesn't take to kindly to my FREEDOM'S being taken away because of ignorant, uneducated, irresponsible people and law enforcers who have decided that it's easier to take away the freedom than to actually enfore the law.[/i][/quote][/size]

good dog or bad dog... I am much more afraid of those crazy-driving-cause-my-SUV-is-BIGGER-than-yours texans than I would be afraid of meeting a PB on the street. In fact, PB are so rare to find.... one meet a PB once in petsmart and he was sweet sweet.
