Ignorance!

I took my sister in law to the shelter yesterday, she was looking for a lap dog but fell in love a little pit puppy. So we were at the cage with the 4 pups and this little girl and her mother came in. The little girl started screaming and I mean screaming at us to get away from those puppies, they are pits. While her mother was rushing her away from the killer puppies to look at a hound that looked like he wanted to come through his cage to eat someone. I just turned to my sister and said very loudly that, that is the type of ignorant people who give these WONDERFULL dogs a bad name. So anyway, she is probly going to get the little guy. They think he is a pit/boxer mix. HE is sooooo cute. Has a black patch over his eye. So I hope she gets him and I will have a new puppy to play with!!! Anyway just had to rant for a minute cause I was so mad. Thanks all for listening!

On hallowe'en a little girl came to our door while her father waited on the end of the walkway. Anyways, she saw Harley and said
"Is that a Pit Bull?"

I replied "It is a breed that is considered to be a Pit Bull."

She then gets this look of horror on her face and says "Did you know Pit Bulls eat people, I don't know HOW you can live with it".

OMG! This girl was like 6 yrs. old. I was fuming, I just glared at her father and I looked at her with the full bowl of candy and said, looks like we're all out! Have a good night.

I know it was totally childish of me, but I felt good after. hehe. Embarassed

Some people and their thoughts make me SICK!
The funny thing is this:
The people who make the biggest stink about pitbulls are usually the people who have never even seen one. They are just pure ignorant imbeciles!
Tomorrow at our local shelter, I am running a POSITIVE PITBULL ADVOCATE TABLE!
I have tons of literature and magazines and newspaper articles (some I have written myself)
I should be in for a treat. Good thing I already have PMS and am ready and waiting for an argument! I will be diplomatic and to the point! I will however, GET MY POINT ACROSS!
My shelter Pitbull/mix Ginger will be accompanying me for the day!

Wish me luck!!

Sue I wish you luck! I think that is a great idea. So many people just listen to what their hear about this breed. I dont own one (yet) but love the breed. My husband was like many people when I met him and thought they were the devil. After seeing my brothers precious bunch he has no problems with them.
