Re: pit bulls
I understand everyone has different opinion about
the vicious dog and some wild animals. And I also
believe that the owner should be responsible about
their own pets, especially s/he keeps the animals that
may endanger other human or animals. S/he have to
keep them in the strong cage or chained or/and put the
muzzle on and also provide enough space for the
animals. Personally, the pet which have remote chance
of bite my hands off does not appeal to me as "PET".
Some people keep them whatever reason is. And I am
well aware of that there are some animals out there
which you should not keep them at the regular house in
crowded neighborhood if there are any chance that they
can escape and harm other human or animals. And I do
question the dog breeder who do breed the hybrid of
the wolf and the dog just because they can make more
money and sell to some uneducated people who have no
idea how dangerous they can be. I read about the wolf
hybrid can be unpredictable and they turn into wild
wolf without any warning.
But I'm sure this is the petition for ALL the
animals right. Like other lovable peaceful dogs,
cats, birds etc. So please do not think this is for
just vicious dog like pit bull only. This is against
the ALL THE ANIMAL CRUELTY.
