I love animals as much as the next person, but there are limits.
I have absolutely no use at all for Pit Bulls or Rottweillers, and yeah, Elphaba, I know that Gus is a big baby, but 16 stiches in my arm that could have been my neck from someone's sweet family dog (Miserable Rottweiller) changed that opinion forever. (What finally got this dog off of me was several shots from the policeman who lived next door's service revolver fired into this dog.
Years before that, I was involved in a Big Sister program and I used to pick my little up at this pretty wretched housing project. One night, I had dropped her off at her apartment, and walked her in, on my way out, down a dark stairwell (because the elevators were broken) a Pit Bull cornered me. I had my pepper spray in my hands and was prepared ot use it against this dog, when it's owner finally came for it. I had no idea what this dogs intent was, I Know what my intent was going to be...
I know there is one person here who has a pitbull for a pet,andI"m sure is a responsible owner, however, that I am sure is rare. I have no problem with Pit Bulls being wiped off the planet.
