"Having Pit bulls as pets is as sensible as taking your KIDS on a VEGAS VACATION!!!"
You are able to write, but must not be able to read! The Border Collie was the attacking dog. There is no mention of the pit bull mix being involved in the attack - only the foolish and unfounded assumption that particular breeds can be assumed dangerous. Do you know what happens when you assume something?
Check American Temperament Testing and you will see that the breeds that are commonly referred to as "pit bulls" rate as high as Golden Retrievers - better than many common pets. There are reasons that some of these dogs are indeed dangerous and those reasons need to be addressed. It is inefficient to pursue an entire breed when it is not the breed's temperament that is a problem. Go to the source of the problems and resolve those - the 2 legged monsters who are allowed to create 4-legged monsters and unleash them on our communities.
First, we have to set aside the prejudice and educate to eliminate the ignorance that is seen when pit bulls are criticized for an attack that is actually perpetrated by a border collie. Without my pit bull service dogs my life would be lonely and difficult, but these are wonderful dogs who are trained to do a job that they love. Temperament testing proves that they are not born as dangerous dogs - it requires work on the part of human beings to create a dangerous dog and that's who we need to go after - with a vengeance!
