[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From another pet post where someone asked why there are so many pits in shelters rescues.

Makes sense to me. This is what I see happening here

‘Because a lot of people who want pit bulls intentionally choose not to get them fixed which leads to a million pit bull mixes in shelters. People who actively seek out pits often like them for aggression, and think fixing them will decrease their aggression.

It's a frustrating cycle. And what we should really be doing is forcing pit owners to fix their dogs, going after breeders that cater to these owners, and really cracking down on backyard breeding, which is illegal. But the whole conversation gets disrupted by people who adopt pits from shelters, fall in love with their specific dog, and then become very defensive about the rep pit bulls have, and fight against "discrimination" against the breed. It's exhausting.

I increasingly think you should need to get a license in order to have a dog, in order to ensure responsible dog ownership, make sure animals get fixed, and make it easier to take dogs away from people who abuse them or are otherwise irresponsible with them.

Until then, yes, like 95% of shelter dogs are pits and pit mixes.’[/quote]

No, what's exhausting is that you keep muddying a decent point with your anti-pit hate.

Go after the backyard breeders of ALL dogs. Go after the unlicensed dogs. Create a mandatory license for all dog owners, and go after anyone who violates it. Demand proof of liability insurance coverage for all dog owners, and go after anyone found without it. Hire more animal control officers to enforce the leash and other laws we already have, and go after all the jerks who frequently violate them, regardless of what kind of breed they own.

But you keep trying to make it about "pit bulls", at which point, anyone with sense corrects your stupidity. If you make it about responsible dog ownership, regardless of breed, there's really no argument. [/quote]
