Evil People

[TaraJo]

Theist in the way your talking about evil here then I am in agreement with you. Except its all shades, there are those that would laugh at us talking about animals suffering when there a fucks about like the 'lords resistance army' doing worse to people. But to my mind you let the small things go and they become bigger. You are probably not aware of what is happening in London at the moment. The police had a crack down on the carrying of knives, many of the local ruffs started using pit-bull type dogs as a replacement for the knives. Most of these sods have no idea how to look after an animal, and consequently even seeing eye dogs are getting attacked by these out of control animals. Where as a few years ago walking the dog was an easy way of meeting people, as owners would actually approach each other an get chatting about their pets, in my locality now wise owners avoid other dogs, because there are so many attacks, and many dogs learn to be more aggressive. Evil, no but the effects build up. Also rings running dog fights seem to be getting more common. And that is happening in a country which was once known for its love of dogs.

I've seen jackasses like that here, too. It's kinda ironic because firearms are legal in Texas (or Oklahoma, where it happened) but that doesn't prevent people from being jerks.

A few years ago, I had a job at a Walmart. I didn't have a car so I had to walk about a mile or so through my neighborhood to get to work.... and it wasn't the nicest neighborhood. Most of the people in this neighborhood considered their dogs a sign of how tough they are; they raised their dogs to be mean and aggressive because it made them look mean and aggressive. It's problematic because cheap neighborhoods like this don't always have good fences to keep dogs in the yard and it wasn't uncommon for their dogs to get out and chase people around. I had to call animal control on multiple occasions to do something about it.

Some people want to ban pit bulls because that's the dog most often being used as "I'm-a-badass" dogs. Truth is, I don't see that working. If pit bulls are banned, these assholes are just going to get a doberman. If dobermans are banned, they'll just get another type of dog. The problem isn't the dog, it's the assholes who raise them to be aggressive.
