I would get myself one, along with a permit to carry a concealed weapon and I would shoot every loose, aggressive dog that charged me while I was afoot and the streets of this little town would run red with blood. My dog, Mr. Poopus and I had a close call with a pit bull this morning. If I hadn’t remained calm and if I hadn’t developed, over my years of pedestrianhood, a talent for walking backwards, Mr. Poopus would be dead and I’d be good and mangled at the very least.
I called this in to our animal control guy. I believe I woke him up. He sounded drunk, but he was sympathetic and said he’d check it out. We’ll see.
I know pit bulls are supposed to be as nice as any other dog as long as they’re raised correctly, but it seems to me that most of the people hereabouts who are attracted to this breed do not raise them correctly. These animals are bred specifically to fight and to kill and that’s what attracts these neglectful, abusive idiots and that’s what makes these dogs more dangerous than most other animals when they aren’t raised correctly.
If something isn’t done about this problem in my little town soon, I may just manage to get over my dislike of firearms. In the mean time, I’ll be investing in some wholesale quantities of pepper spray.
P.S.
It is all well and good to call for a problem to be fixed when you do not have a solution. I would recommend against pepper spray as that is liable to make the dog mad as opposed to incapacitating it.
If it is your contention that you wish to see the breed banned, I guarantee you it will not solve anything. They are banned here in NSW Australia, as are guns or pepper spray for self defence. The problem of dangerous dogs continues, surpise surprise, and there is little one can do about it personally. Consider yourself lucky your government trusts you enough to remedy your problem yourself.
Dear Dumbfuck,
Are you commenting on what I wrote or something you read elsewhere? Nowhere in the above entry nor anywhere else have I ever stated that I wish to see the breed banned. I think that’s a stupid, impracticable idea.
As for “calling for a problem to be fixed when you do not have a solution”, I do offer a fucking solution to anyone who isn’t too stupid to comprehend what I’ve written i.e. treat your dogs properly and keep them locked up.
You know, I rarely get comments here, so maybe I should be more appreciative of the ones I do get, but maybe you should just refrain from commenting until you improve your reading comprehension skills.
I was talking about problems in my own little American town. I don’t give a shit about NSW Australia because a neglected pit bull in NSW Australia, probably yours, (I realize I have no logical foundation for accusing you of being an abusive, neglectful pet owner but I’m using your m.o. there.) because a pit bull in NSW Australia ain’t gonna maul me or my little doggy.
Fuck off and/or learn to read.
P.S. About the pepper spray, yes, I’ve heard accounts of that method being ineffective on pit bulls, most notably from my brother the cop. I guess I’ll just skip right to the gun and shoot every fucking pit bull that looks sideways at me. Thanks.
Wow, someone can’t read or is being purposely hostile…enjoy writing to yourself you twat!
I can both read and am being purposely hostile. It’s irritating when someone such as yourself comes off all superior and suggests that I would “contend” something I haven’t even remotely contended. True, you write, if it is my contention etc…, but it’s pretty clear you expect that to be my contention. You pretty much ignore what I write and preach at me regarding your own bugaboos.
And I do, in fact, enjoy writing to myself as well as my fellow twats such as yourself. I just wish that when other twats comment on my twattery, they’d comment on what I’d actually written rather than what they imagine I might be thinking.
