Like I've said before, I agree that this is a terrible thing happening, but comparing it to the Holocaust is just plain silly.
And the owners of these dogs being forcibly taken are responsible for their dogs death. They knew the ban on BSL's had been lifted, but yet they kept the dogs. They were told that their dogs would be rounded up and killed, but still they kept their dogs. I'm in no way saying that it's okay for the city to do this, but if I was told my dog had to go or they were going to kill it, I would either move, or find a home for my dog outside of Denver county. The Jews were not told they could leave peacefully. They weren't allowed to live in another part of Germany without persecution. They had little to no warning. |
True they can leave and move, for some this is hard, they'd have no way to start over and pick up and move but they could find somewhere for their dog instead of allowing it to be taken. But then we are just discussing the Denver ban (where this stuff hasn't happened) and not the Germany ban or bans and the other european countries, where are these people supposed to go all of them to US (in cities that don't have BSL of course) or flood other countries. Moving from another country really isn't an option for many people, and in some cases these people didn't know the terrible things that would happen to their dogs. Sometimes the BSL wasn't even passed yet before people started targetting Pit Bulls and their owners with violent acts just because they were Pit Bulls. I don't compare it to what happened to the Jews, but I see why people do and I don't think they are pathetic. |

I am sorry if I offended anyone about comparing to the holocaust, becuase its still happening in this day in other countries like Africa. I was trying to state below what luvdapitss says.
"was comparing it to the fear and dread of that inevitable knock on the door. Or trying our best to hide our dogs in the attic or basement. I was comparing it to genocide which means "the deliberate and systematic killing of another living being."
Its so hard me me to comprehend what used to be the darling breed of America has ended up this way.
My dogs are notpbs, but if they were, and I lived in Denver, I would move, if it meant I had to drive 2 hours each way to get to work, relocate, etc. my dogs are my family and I would do anything to make to ensure their safetey
they have to be muzzled and I think certain fencing is required. |
