Jim Dandy: The bad guys are the ones that place them in a position to fail,your right 100%...the laws enforced for animal abuse of any kind are laughable....they say they can't do much else becuase prisons are overrun with "real" criminals....ok,so be it,then give them THOUSANDS of hours of community service in shelters,MAKE them take MANDITORY classes regarding animal abuse/safety/etc.....MAke them take MANDITORY anger management and if needed drug consuling.It's not the dogs...it's the beasts at the OTHER end of the leash,the dog's are the ones being punished tho as the idiots that abuse them walk around free.Makes me sick to my stomach that people want to punish the dog.....I read summin just this morning...it said.."If you were lost,and my SAR dog was a Pit,would you stil want me to find you?" I would guess that you would...pit or no pit.
