There was a fracas in a Dallas dog park this past weekend. A pit bull mix attacked an Australian shepherd. The owner of the shepherd tried to separate the dogs but was unsuccessful. So he pulled a knife out of his pocket in an attempt to rescue his pet. In the ensuing melee, the woman who owned the pit bull was accidentally slashed across the forehead with the knife. The man trying to protect his dog was arrested. They arrested the wrong one! What he did was in self-defense.
When will people learn that pit bulls are unpredictable, aggressive, mean animals? How many people, most of them children, have been killed or seriously maimed by these devils? How many innocent pets have been killed or seriously maimed? The clueless idiot who owned the pit bull in this story? She says of her dog, the one that almost chewed the nose off the dog he attacked, that "I don't have problems with him. I've had him since he was a baby." And she says that the breed shouldn't have to suffer for the actions of a few animals that show viciousness because their owners haven't cared for them properly. Obviously, she doesn't feel her animal fits in the vicious category. I have to wonder just exactly what her definition of "vicious" is.

There are two pit bulls that live right behind our house. Even though they are fenced and also chained I live in fear knowing they are back there. I worry constantly when I let Penny or Mattie in the backyard.
