Pit bull owners also demand that we put our children's and our own lives in jeopardy in order to give pit bulls the benefit of the doubt. Even though pit bulls are constantly launching off property, unprovoked attacks on people on the street and even children in their own secured yards, pit bull owners demand that we treat them like normal companion animals.
It is important to note that many of the people are traumatized by being forced by pit bull advocates to perform such a violent act to protect their family. And many of these people who ended up stabbing a pit bull to stop an attack were not armed at the time. Many had to stab a pit bull in their home and retrieved a kitchen knife or had to leave their pet being attacked to run inside the house to get a knife.
But, the public is becoming aware of pit bull dangers to people and pets and are increasingly arming themselves for protection in the overwhelming absence of action from legislators and civic leaders to regulate pit bull owners.
The number of pit bulls that have had to be stabbed by desperate pet owners to stop a vicious attack is astounding. But, arming against pit bulls is not an ideal solution as many of the victims pets died anyway. At the very least regulation requiring pit bull owners to muzzle their pits or carry break sticks, or better yet a ban, is what will save us from having to think about how to kill a pit bull to save our loved ones.
