PITT BULLED OVER!

PITT BULLED OVER! (Frazer Chronicles)

I suppose I should go slow on this subject, since my son-in-law is a lover of Pitt Bulls, but it's difficult for me to trivialize the number of deaths attributed Pitt Bull type dog attacks every year. There is absolutely no getting around the fact that Pitt Bulls are some of the most beautiful of dog species that we humans have domesticate. The several different types of Pitt offspring have magnificent features, unique to that breed, making ownership, initially, an advantages criteria for dog lovers. Me personally, I like my dogs, short, fat, close to the ground, docile and willing to lay around, eat, and take naps.

From my kind of dog, we must make a leap to an animal in the dogie kingdom that is so different from my wife's Chihuahua, that there's not any sense in making comparisons, there aren't any. Missy is a fat little drum with 4 legs, a snout and tail. Yes she nips.....at the ankles and barks to let us know whenever anybody is walking down the sidewalk, but that's as far as her watchdog skills go.

She does run our household, letting us know when she needs a pee break, or that poop walk for the other. She barks when she needs food, water, or for attention. She does not take kindly to visitors, nips at kids, and generally lets us know that she doesn't appreciate it when we have guests over, or for that matter her sisters and brother, "our kids."

Could she inflict much damage on anybody, absolutely not, if she was a cause for that concern, she would no longer be a member of our family, she is a pet, an animal and really an extensive of how my wife and I are. If she hurt somebody, she would be on the first train out of the Frazer mansion.

People own all kinds of dogs for all  kinds of reasons, be it companionship, a guard dog, for medical reasons and for show. There are two more reasons why people own dogs and sadly it usually is because the owner needs a boost in his man-hood, or that somebody has a sadistic attitude and wants to train fighting dogs, or attack dogs.

A 75 year old women is in critical condition today in a San Diego, California hospital after her neighbor's 2 Pit Bulls attacked the women in her own back yard. The women was bitten repeatedly on her legs and arms until her husband chased the animals out of their yard.

The county Department of Animal Control confiscated and euthanized the animals shortly after the attack. The attack happened Saturday morning and is just one more example of what can happen when people harbor animals that actually have no business being held by anybody as domesticated pets.

Pet Bulls are dangerous, they always have been and always will be, at least that is the way I've always felt. I have always been at a loss to understand why people would want to own animals that are dangerous, they hold no practical purpose, at least to me. The certainly attack strangers, they attack friends, they attack children and they attack their owners.

You are not impressing me, if you own a Pit Bull, I hope you don't have kids, many friends and live somewhere way out in the sticks so that when your "pet" strikes, you are the only one involved, and die a slow, terrible death, because your an idiot.

I read a Pit Bull Lovers website and came away with some beautiful  examples of total denial, unless the guy is also an idiot. A 14 month old baby was mauled to death by the family Pit Bull when it "snapped" and attacked while the mother was feeding the baby. This joker said that the "attack didn't have to happen, that the owners missed aggressive signs and that the owners didn't reinforce that the attack mauling action was in-appropriate, "what." 

Irresponsible owners are to blame, while others make their dogs mean on purpose, because they are cruel, irresponsible and mean people. The solution to Pit Bull attacks is to get rid of all the irresponsible mean people, and those people that do not follow breeding regulations. There needs to be "breeding wardens" that register all Pit Bull breeding's and inspect kennels.

Public and Pit Bull community awareness classes, "if you want a Pitt Bull, rescue an adult." If you want the public to know that Pit Bulls aren't all baby killers, train them, title them, and take them out to public gatherings were dogs are welcome.

Become an advocate for Pit Bulls, show non-owners that it's the owners and not the Pit Bulls that are responsible for all attacks. That is the jest of the Pit Bull advocates website, and although, according to the United States Constitution, "everybody has the right to his own opinion, and can freely speak it," this guy needs to take his doggies into a dry dark room where they stay together for several weeks until the dogs get the message, and do their thing.

The Center for Decease and Control Prevention keeps statistics, "as best they can" with regards to dog death count, want some sobering figures, read on:

A. Since 2005, 178 deaths have been attributed to dog attacks

B. 100 from infants to 10 years of age

C. Between ages 11-60, 37 deaths

D. 61 and over, 41 deaths

E. Of the 178 deaths, 104 have been Pit Bull type dogs.

I believe it's time for us all, like the Pitt Bull advocate said, "to educate ourselves" and get rid of all Pit Bull type dogs in the United States. If my Missy dog hurt anybody, she would have a real short funeral.
