She has not said anything rude or spiteful or sarcastic to any one here, but she has been disrespected by many "bull-headed" people on this thread. How dare anyone imply that because she is "new" to PT, that she doesn't have a right to express herself. She is obviously a "dog-lover" as she has posted on many other threads here and offered her help and kindness. I pray to God that none of you have to experience the very thing that she and Tim both are trying to educate you about. She has not suggested that any one put their beloved pet to sleep because it is a pit bull, she is simply sharing some horrific experiences she knows of and trying to prevent further ones from happening. The polite and adult thing to do would be to thank her for her advice / warning and move on instead of being hateful.
WHY THANK YOU! That is exactly what I am trying to say...
In most areas, " when you cant say something nice, dont say nothing at all" does not apply in the pet area. Half the dogs that end up in shelters were taken originally by well meaning, but un knowing owners. Like the one that gets a saint bernard, with no clue this can really up a 150 pound dog. Or get a collie because it looks like lassie- no clue that (rough) coat takes daily work and care in brushing. Or the one that gets a border collie with no realllll total idea this dog needs alot of stimulation and a job to do. Or a terrier unknown they can be barkers.... Even my own breed- I could not own a cat with my older one in my life- I love cats! But I know the limitiations here... This actually the first time in my life I havent had a cat.
YOur words of kindness, obviously totally understanding the intent in my posts has me touched.. THANK YOU!
