Blaming the owner

A Virginia woman, Bethany Stephens, was mauled to death by her pitbulls and already the law is blaming her. Sheriff James L. Agnew said Stephens’ body was found guarded by “two very large, brindle-colored pitbull dogs.” He suspected that the dogs had been bred for fighting.

One of the immediate responses in every pitbull mauling is blaming the owner. they abused it, they bred it to fight, on and on. Why do we never have people mauled by golden retrievers? What about Labradors? Pure and simple, it is genetics. Yes, they are beautiful dogs. Yes, they can be quite nice, loving affectionate, every trait found in a poodle or papillon. If you were to google those breeds, you would find information specific to them.

Pitbulls are a breed that was developed for fighting. It is genetic. Nothing we do can change genetics. just because some guy want to be a girl does not mean it is possible. Sure, he can get his nuts hacked off, have his pecker hollowed out then shoved inside, receive hormones to enhance his breasts, but he can never breed. He will never produce egg cells.

The DNA is a blunt and inescapable fact. Not al pits will ever hurt some one. Not all alligators will hurt some one either, but if you decide you want to keep one in your living room, I won't be visiting very long.

When a pit kills, the apologists circle the wagons and blame the owner. Cruel? Not likely. trained them to fight? Even less likely. Stupid? Yup. Got her killed. My condolences to her family, she had a lot of potential. Her mistake was in loving an unpredictable animal. Happens a lot. In this case, the animals wasn't her boy friend.
