| Barked: Thu Nov 5, '09 11:37am PST | |  |  |  |  | Wow, I'm sorry if anyone got personally offended, I wasn't trying to attack anyone. For the record, I do not deny that the Pit Bull was ever used for fighting, there are several breeds of dog that are popular family pets that have had dog fighting in their history, I simply stated that they weren't originally bred to kill other dogs like some people (a lot of whom I've noticed also support BSL, in my personal experience) insist that they were. The APBT has a history as a LOT of things ranging from a bull baiter and dog fighter to a working dog and show dog/family companion, all of their history should be taken into account. To focus primarily on the fighting aspect of their history makes fuel for the "Pit Bull" haters, or so I've seen. I also don't take either of the dogs to any off leash areas because I know that if another dog started in with them, heck even if they didn't retaliate, the Pit Bull usually gets the blame, and I don't encourage others to do so either for the same reason.
Maybe I just need to word things better, I get misunderstood a lot on places like this .
I respect anyone who does this kind of thing, I've done rescue myself although I can't afford to run a large scale rescue, and can't imagine how stressful it must be for people who ARE capable of doing large-scale rescue like you guys. Just because I have a different opinion than someone else doesn't mean I don't like them/don't appreciate or respect them and I wouldn't attack someone just for having a different viewpoint on any given thing verbally or otherwise.
As far as the s-bomb goes, I wasn't offended, I can just be a worry wart sometimes, and people can be really uptight when it comes to swearing. I worry about any little thing that could potentially make someone go off on a rant about Pit Bull owners or their dogs, they'll always find any little excuse to be upset about them even if they've never met an aggressive Pit Bull in their life. I've gotten so many rude comments because my rescued dogs are an ABPT and a mix thereof that I tend to walk on eggshells so to speak when I talk to someone who either has a negative opinion of them/their owners or has yet to form an opinion of them/their owners. I wasn't trying to sound like a goody two shoes either, I've let swear words slip too when I've been stressed, it happens, and I can't imagine the stress you guys can go through, I'm not trying to judge.Edited by author Thu Nov 5, '09 11:44am PST
