Heck no its not legal! But I just have their word, so no real evidence, thats whats bad. And here in the town I live in, theres not many pitties around-I think the one girl is from another town and recently moved here.Originally Posted by marie-p
Is that even legal?
could you report him to the humane society or the police?
Man-she was beautiful!! So sorry you had to go thru that...ppl are idiotsOriginally Posted by SheffieldLass
yeah i agree, its best to report even if you have no proof as it may just be a lead the police need.
i had a pitt, she was the best dog ever, the most beautiful colour with these bright yellow eyes. a lot of people were scared of her because of the way she looked but if you got to know her or if you didnt take dogs on face value & came for a stroke you would know that she was the sweetest dog ever & would never harm you.
unfortunatly some stupid idiot shot her with a pelit gun from the bed room window while she was in our garden. it was the most upsetting day of my life.
but people who make dogs fight are inhumane to animals & give certain breeds a bad name, like the pitt. over in the UK its many type of dog that have bad reputations now like the mastiff, english bull terrior & rotties. its such a shame because they are all sweet natured dogs & people just dont seem to understand that dogs like children are only the way they are because of how they have been brought up & trained.
wasnt she cute?!
While I mostly agree, I do contend that this statement is not 100% accurate.Originally Posted by psjauntie
It is not the dog it is the owners. If you don't train them to be aggressive they won't be.
Not ALL animal control will do anything. Where I live they don't do anything UNLESS the dog bites you. I have a VERY vicious dog next door to me (cross between a chow and a pomeranium(sp?) and it is chewing down the fence to get to me and my cats. It IS nice to it's owners but HAD bitten the young boys of the family.Originally Posted by valanhb
I agree with the other posters. Find out who the girls are (names at least) and report what was said to the police and animal control authorities. It's people like that who will get the breed banned everywhere and then the world will be a worse place without these beautiful and special dogs.
I'll move this to Other Animals.
