I would like to respond to the writer of “Skewed Values.”
I probably don’t live in the community where these “six pit bulls run wild, biting both adults and children on a regular basis” as I’ve never seen this in my neighborhood.
If I did I would most certainly take pictures or video to substantiate my claim to the officials as to the activity and actual breed of dogs for identification purposes.
I take exception to you reporting a situation relayed to you by a friend naming a specific breed of dog.
I find it highly unlikely that six pit bulls would all be on the loose and attacking people together.
I’m no dog behavioral expert but every pure bred pit bull I’ve ever met has been well behaved, socialized and well adjusted.
Unless you are positive these dogs are in fact pit bulls you should not report it as such.
You are doing just as much disservice to the breed as the person calling the conservation officer on the bears.
Not every bear that wanders into an interface needs to be destroyed just as not every dog that attacks people is a pit bull.
