If I were her I would stay gone by any means necessary. Texas is not going to be here friend after this. Texas is very sad place. There are many people in Texas who hate all of this and they feel pretty helpless. The Republicans have had Texas by the balls for decades.
I think people are stupid about pets in general, just like they’re stupid about everything else. There are plenty of people who could make a good home for almost any animal, even a pitbull. There’s no “one size fits all” when it comes to pet ownership.
I agree with you about how awful it is to use these dogs as fashion accessories and put them in crates. I also think it’s because a lot of people desire the “lopsided love”. It definitely feeds their egos and a lot of them are narcissists, don’t know any better because they’re stupid or both.
Animals should only be in cages temporarily for the right reasons. I hate when people claim that their dogs love their cages. They don’t love them. They are just trained and conditioned to tolerate them. Most dogs do want to please their owners and it’s very convenient for these assholes to believe their dogs love being in their cages for hours on end.
I also want to add that my current dog is a 140lb Bull Mastiff/German Shepherd mix. I adopted her from a friend after my friend realized how big she would likely be.
My dog is now 7 years old and still just acts like a big silly puppy. She’s never bit anyone and is even friends with my cats.
However, if I had small children I probably wouldn’t have her because I’ve seen very nice dogs snap many times. Unfortunately, the size of the dog does correlate with the damage they could potentially do. I also make sure she can’t bite anyone or other pets if I have to take her out. She loves everyone and everything but any dog can snap under the right circumstances and since we are not dogs coming we cannot read their minds and don’t always know what the circumstances are. I wouldn’t rule out rescuing a pitbull. All dogs are not the same. I think it’s all more an issue of responsible pet owners and knowing your dog the best you can.
Never forget though that accidents can and will still happen, even under the best circumstances.
I know a lot of it is from what people did. When I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s, we lived in a town which had many illegal dog fighters in it. They mostly chose pitbulls but not solely. We ended up saving one puppy from them and he was some sort of mastiff mix.
One of their pitbulls escaped once. I opened my door and it came running from out of nowhere, snatched my cat from beside me and shook her to death in front of me. It was so terrible.
They would do the worst things to these dogs. They would beat them, use food against them and for a long time it was even really popular to feed them gun powder to make them more aggressive. They would condition their dogs in any way they could to make them good fighters and as aggressive as possible.
Pitbulls have a lot of sharp teeth and sturdy, muscular bodies, so they never had a chance with these assholes.
The dog breed I’ve personally seen get out of line as a pet and bite people the most is the German Shepard. That’s just my experience. Either way I believe that dogs are like people. They can have genetic tendencies but their environment will have the largest influence on them most of the time. I’ve never met an aggressive pitbull outside of those terrible dog fighter’s dogs.
I was saying boourns.
We also need to arm all of the new B-21 raiders. I believe I read they’re going to start off with producing 100 of them.
We’re at the end stage of capitalism.
Exactly that. We are run by corporations more so than our elected officials. A lot of people fail to fully understand this fact. Corporations and capitalism is the answer to why everything sucks.
Everything is cheaper and made of thinner materials. But I can’t tell if it tastes worse because it’s of lesser quality or because of the covid I had.
You’re not overboard. I’ve spent a lot of my life in Texas. I never thought it would get worse than it was 10 years ago but here we are.
