Pit bulls, down go the Dodgers and brisket tacos
Pit bulls. Sadly, the dangerous potential outweighs the likely truthful argument that it’s the fault of the owners when a pit bull goes on the attack. Pit bulls have the genetic chops, literally, to clamp down and kill or maim. The recent attack on the horse in Morgan Hill is just the latest example. Children, and many other dogs, have been killed or seriously injured, too. Breed specific local legislation isn’t perfect, but it does make sense. Too many idiotic owners “train” pit bulls to be aggressive and you just can’t know enough about an owner to make a snap judgment about the dog that’s walking toward you and, perhaps, your child. You can say this, however. When a dog breed establishes an aggressive reputation, it often unfortunately attracts a certain personality type as an owner, a person who is not prone to ameliorating any aggressive tendencies in the breed but rather preys upon those tendencies to create a menace to society. I’m a fierce dog lover – have two, a Golden Retriever and an Old Time Farm Shepherd – but sadly I believe pit bulls should be regulated.
