In the News #5 (Pit Bulls Response)

I find that pit bulls just like any other dog can attack a person. Just because they may have a higher tendency toward aggression that doesn't mean we should make them illegal. If a person or family is planning on getting a pit bull for their pet then their are aware of the risk factors just like any other pet. I don't agree with the fact that dogs are being put to sleep for killing because they are unintentionally reacting on their instincts. If a dog is out of control and is continually attacking with aggression than something needs to be done. Some humans have just as much aggression toward dogs and do not nearly receive the same punishment as a dog would for the same aggression. I think that if dogs are being put to sleep for killing humans than humans should be put to sleep for dogs. If not that, than, a dog should not be put to sleep since humans are not. A fair ground needs to be found between dogs vs. humans. Personally, nothing in my mind, ideas, or attitude toward pit bulls has changed due to these recent public attacks.
