Yes, believe it or not... I just went to lunch with a friend at an outdoor cafe in downtown Los Angeles.

When I got there, the couple sitting across from me had two dogs, A two year old Lab mix and a 14 month old, female, Pit Bull.

Believe it or not, in person, I try very hard to hold no prejudice towards individual dogs. I asked both owners if I could "treat" their dogs with chicken nibbles that I carry in my pocket and they both excitedly said "Yes".

Then the owners with their two dogs moved tables because they wanted to smoke.

Again, I gave both dogs the benefit of the doubt.

As the couple exited the restaurant, with absolutely no provocation, with my dog lying down, belly on the floor and head up, the PIT BULL attacked Maggie.



Luckily:
a) the owner had her pit on a pronged chock collar

b) The pit only got ahold of a little muzzle and some hair.
-- Otherwise this report would be coming to you from the vets office.
(Did I happen to mention I was eating and had a knife in my hand. Had that attack gone on one second longer, I would have stabbed the Pit Bull.)

Yes, I swear to god, this is what just happened, 15 minutes ago.

At the very least, the owner of the Pit Bull has the graciousness to emphatically apologize on her way out.

-- By the way, I know you're a relatively new member and probably don't know I'm Jewish. But your use of "Mein Kampf" to try to label me as some sort of Nazi is so offensive, I don't even know where to begin.
(p.s. - No, I would never waste my time reading Mein Kampf when there are books like The Diary of Anne Frank or Dawn and Night by Elie Weisel that could occupy my bookshelf.)

Sounds like you're getting pretty desperate and are reaching for thin air. And using anti-semitic material to validate your points.

My arguments are based on facts, your arguments are based on emotions.

My dog was just bit by a Pit Bull. Your dog is wearing weapons.

My statements contradict everything you have said:
- There are animal behaviorists (at Cornell Medical School) who 100% agree with me.
- 78% of all serious injuries, killings, etc. come from Bull breeds, esp. Pit Bulls.
- The information I have presented has been well researched, delivered, is not mass hysteria coming from some paranoid person, as you would like to have people believe.

READ THE FACTS.....

So, maybe you spend a little less time reading Nazi propoganda and a little more time educating yourself on:
A) How your use of holocaust and Nazi and Hitler propaganda is intrepereted by Jewish readers.
B) What the statistics of Pit Bull attacks really are.
A. Sorry your dog was attacked, mine has been too. It sucks.
B. My reference holds but I will qualify for you. It was neot meant Anti-Sematic. The core theme of the Holocaust (I am German, my Holocaust history is quite thorough) is the unjust blanketed suppression and genocide of a group(s). You are indeed proposing a similar philosphical answer to a complicated problem. (granted, on a much different level) I brought this up to address the fundamental argument here that we have not discussed.
I know the facts, but I see a vastly different and long term viable solution. This is the core argument. APBT are half the attacks it is well publicized. Outlawing them and others will not offer a long term solution.
Education is the key. Bringing out the dirty laundry that has built with these animals can bring about positive change and improve our communities as a whole.
BTW: fear is ok. Your fears are just that, items that cause you great concern. It is human nature to be afraid of rational and irrational things. Unortunately all our fears are not the same. When shared they often do not reach the same depth. I do not share the same fears with you regarding this subject. There are millions of others as well who do not. They answer is to identify the core issue and deduce a fair, equal and viable solution.
I am fortunate and have an animal who exhibits positive traits and behaviors. He proves it every day. Should he suffer because of those that don't. The question is that simple. The answer is not.
I will Pm you with my personal info. this has gotten WAY out of control and these nice people need not be subjected to any more of our pettiness.
