[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I own a pit bull. He was a street dog I found with a thick collar and chain dragging behind him. He hopped right in my car as I opened the door. I was afraid the chain would catch on a bush and he’d get stuck and die of dehydration or the wrong people would get to him. I intended to bring him to the humane society the next day but quickly realized almost nobody would adopt a middle aged male brown pit bull. I’ve had him a year. He was a nervous dog when I found him who is now super friendly and frequents the dog park. He has no interest in fighting other dogs and will run away if they try to attack him. With that said the way they are treated and disposed of so often I think breeding them should be banned. Let the breed die out. Too many people don’t want them or want to abuse them. [/quote]

If breeding any breed of dogs without a license cost significant fines, only responsible, reputable breeders would put in the work to do it right. The practice of indiscriminately breeding dogs for profit would stop and both the dog and human populations would be better for it.

Make it so.[/quote]

We need non pitbull bred mutts

Why?
There are plenty in shelters and rescues. I have 2 non-pit mutt fosters right now in my house and no takers for 3+ month. We don't need more mutts.

Most people I’ve spoken to find that most shelters are full of older dogs or young pit bull mixes. [/quote]
Well, my experience with a local rescue organization is different - there are plenty of non-pit bull dogs to choose from. Easy to check, really... Do you need assistance finding a dog? Let me know, I'll help you.[/quote]

Please don't enable yet-another mediocre dog owner. If they can't even figure this out for themselves, what does that say about their willingness to troubleshoot and problem-solve whatever behavioral issues their dog will have? People who can't do this basic legwork for themselves self-select out of dog ownership, which is as it should be. We don't need more ignorant, entitled people having dogs, which are a privilege and significant responsibility, not a right.[/quote]
