This was my exact quote from RAMONES!!! previous post on dog attacks:
<i>"I'm gonna get flamed like '76 Pinto on this one. Pit Bulls need to be banned and the breed eradicated. That said, these animals are an unpredictable breed and, in my opinion, dangerous as hell. Owning one of these animals is like leaving a loaded .357 on the floor of a daycare center...it's <b>asking</b> for tradgedy to ensue. Here in Omaha there have been numerous Pit Bull attacks. Always on the news clip is some mullett sportin', Walmart shoppin', NASCAR watchin' (sorry race fans), stained t-shirt wearin', Pabst Blue Ribbon swillin', trailer livin' refuse of the universe saying to the reporters that "He was always such a good dog. Real friendly...never bothered nobody." [fade to the blood soaked sidewalk] If further proof is needed of the need to eliminate the Pit Bull breed, just ask the Florida Power and Light meter reader for her opinion. Or, for that matter, anyone that's had a child killed, screaming in agony, while being mauled to death by one of these spawns of Satan. It's happened in Omaha on several occasions. O.K...flame away. Just don't acuse me of being an animal hater. I love my Shelty almost as much as my kids, and the cat's kinda cool, too. Oh, and btw, "Pit Bull Nazi" has kinda been overdone as well, just to let you know."</i>
My stance on this has not changed. Yes, <b>any</b> dog can be vicious under the right circumstances...but <b>not</b> to the degree of a Pit Bull. Most, not all, but most owners of these animals keep them as some form of status symbol ("Look how tough I am, I have a Pit Bull."), or keep them as guard dogs to protect their Meth Labs. Outside of the police or the military, I see no reason that the average citizen needs to keep one of these animals.
I have kids. Should they <b>ever</b> be attacked by a Pit Bull, not only is the dog going down, but so is the owner. And I don't care <b>what</b> kind of ass raping I get in prison.
