All About Pit Bulls and Bully Breed Dogs

First They Came for Pit Bulls

by

BSL or Breed Specific Legislation is a threat to ALL dogs, not just Pit Bulls or other “dangerous breeds”.  Basically, BSL looks at the breed of a certain dog instead of the behavior of one specific animal.  An analogy for BSL in humans would be racial profiling, due to the fact that it does not look at the characteristics of the individual, instead generalizing them to be true for an entire breed or race.  Think BSL doesn’t affect you because you only own labradors or golden retrievers?  Wrong.  If the knee-jerk reaction of BSL catches on in the way that many supporters of BSL hope it will, people will then see that once all of the Pit Bulls are gone, issues related to dog bites will still exist.  The proponents of BSL will then move onto the next breed, and so on, until BSL does affect you.  [Read more…]

A dog, cat, lizard, what have you, is a living, breathing, and most of all, FEELING creature, and should not be subjected to abandonment because of a careless owner’s own selfishness. [Read more…]

Tiger Attack Blamed on Pit Bull

by

When three tigers attacked a worker at an exotic animal park in southwestern Missouri on Monday all eyes were on the Pit Bull.  In an attempt to cover up the tiger attack, the owners and associates at the park went ahead and cleaned up the site, telling authorities that the victim had been attacked by a Pit Bull.  Only later during the weekend were authorities told what really happened, and were subsequently led to the tiger’s carcass, which had been taken to another property as part of the cover up.
