keep laughing man
work a year worth of bites
you will find there is a difference in dog bites and pit bull bites
In my old apartment complex in West Knoxville, when Arlo was just little, a pit lived downstairs, even thought it's owner knew it wasn't allowed. He'd only take it out really early in the morning and after 6:30-7:00 at night, so it was always a little testy when it got outside, finally. One day it's owner left the door open to the apartment and it came running out. I had my back to it, but I heard it bounding towards us. I tried to make all "nice, doggie" because you're not supposed to hate pits because they're such sweet, loving animals. That wild animal snapped and decided it was going to eat Arlo. I had to literally punch it in the face, while holding Arlo after I scooped him up, to keep it from killing him and probably me. The apartment manager sat and watched the whole thing and kicked the guy out after that. They are vicious killers that will snap without any notice.
I understand the whole argument that it's the owner's fault, but if a large percentage of the owners are raising these animals to be vicious, then their offspring have a pretty damn good chance of being vicious, as well. Should Arlo have to get killed to protect the rights of these poor animals? Hell, the largest Weimaraner that anyone has ever seen (huge, I think it 150+, no bs) was scared to death of Arlo because he bit it on the jowls after it tried to approach him and play with him, like the Weimaraner had done tons of times before the near fatal attack. He's back to being my good boy now, but he goes absolutely psychotic when a large dog rushes him. It's actually pretty frightening. One dumb owner ruined 2 dogs and nearly killed mine.
