Thank you for bringing this to the attention of OPP participants. I live in an area that is afflicted with an epidemic of pit bull ownership. I see them all the time at the public parks. Many are owned by "testosterone fueled" young men, who brandish the un-neutered males as if they were a loaded gun.

Then there are the "kindly" folks who "rescue" these predators. They always say things like he's so sweet, he would never hurt anybody, etc., etc.

There is an 82 year old man who comes to our local dog park. He uses this type of line. One day, I watched his two friendly pit bulls get into a fight with each other. One ripped open the side of the other one, drawing huge amounts of blood from the gash in its side.

I now have to schedule my daily walks with my Labrador, Gracie, to avoid any unwanted meetings with this man and his "trusted" companions.

I wish they would outlaw them here like they do in Miami. The very least they could do is give their owners a $10,000 dollar fine if they attack anyone. That should solve this problem of gruesome fascination with owning an alpha predator.

I am curious about other OPP posters who have had unwanted run-ins with these "friendly" animal companions.

Isn't it wonderful how our Lord God's Word can be applied to all things, so long as it glorifies his message and intent for mankind!
It is my own baseline belief that this chapter you've pointed out is part of a deeper doctrine regarding the Jews first, then the Gentiles, as scripture states regarding judgment.
The Jews stood before the Throne of Judgment first in WWII where "ALL" their Riches of Gold and Silver they worshiped instead of Jesus Christ were taken from them. Then, per God's 10 Commandment, and the Book of the Law, the children (lineages) of the evil Priests (father's) that manipulated Jesus Crucifixion- were k**led. Jesus, who purged all their sins on the Cross, then came back in their Deaths to escort them to Heaven. "Every knee shall bend."
Remember, to us it is "Faith UNSEEN" However, we did see and witness the physical acts of WWII on the Jews. That is to be our lesson for us, into our future, on God's Promises to the Good or the Evil.

As was Hitler Robbing and Stealing as a "Thief", we have a President and his Administration that is selling out all of America's Citizens Money. This is our Tribulation, and Trial.
The Jews before the Throne of Judgment "First," then the Gentiles. "What is the root of all Evil? Riches, Gold/Silvers, Money." When Man gets to where he relies so heavy on Money, Golds and Riches, before God, and all the Corruption that comes from those things, God takes it away. I don't see our government nor country turning back to God, not under Obama anyway, so how far will we go??
Judgment for the Gentiles is Individual, at each our demise and not as a complete race (or Body) as the Jews were. Still, Every Knee Shall Bend before the Majesty of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at Judgment.

I do like your interpretation of those verses towards mankinds self indulgence, and self obsorbence- no matter what the cost to others! Awesome, Thank You~

In the mid to late 1980's, the Great State of Texas outlawed owning pit-bulls in their state. They were to be moved from Texas, or turned in to Animal Authority's for uthenization.
This was due to several years of gross maulings and deaths resulting from Pit-Bull attacks, a lot on children.

Many people claim their Pit-Bulls to be loving, dev**ed, and loyal pets. However, to the stranger on the sidewalk or street, those loving pets become k**lers.

Pit-Bulls are not one of nature's natural breed of dog. They were bred into existence through viscious tempered dogs from though out the world. This is their core temperament no matter how loving they are to their owners. Their massive muscled body is overwhelming to a child or adult in an attack. Their massive head and muscled jaws 'will' crush bone in an attack on a human. Their Jaws lock on what ever body part they've attacked and will not let go until those massive mandible muscles have spasmed through it's cycle.

While working in the ER, I've seen several grueling wounds to the body from bites, and detached body parts from Pit-Bull attacks, ears, fingers, etc. Mostly to children.

I knew a family who had two pet Pit-Bulls, Cleo and Bandit. The family said that they were very friendly, loving of people, and nothing viscious. Then one morning, they awoke to bleatings and screams going on in their small mini farm to find their llama walking around with it's throat ripped out, their goat mauled - ripped apart, and dead. The attackers with blood all over them, the two Pits.
Pit-Bulls, the name is what they were bred for. It is their inner core temperament that cannot be changed. Loving to their owners, but deadly to outsiders.

I purchased a pit bull puppy at the local flea market. I wanted it because when I was a child - teen we had a pit bull terrier which was a marvelous family pet.

Is the terrier a different breed? It was very protective, especially of my mother.
One evening when we were talking to neighbors, an old friend of my mother approached her to give her an affectionate pat on the back. Fortunately the dog was on a lead held by my father as it leaped at the man whom it thought was going to do my mother harm. At that time back East dogs were always required to be on a lead and I'm certainly glad of it. It had never shown ill temper before or after that incident.

At any rate, I purchased this puppy and found that, although it was a puppy, people shied away from it. I was advised by neighbors to put a harness on it attached to a cinder block in order to build up its muscles.

Perhaps the pit bull (terrier) of my childhood was not from the same stock or breed as those in Texas where, it was known, they were bred only as fighters. Maybe, since we got the original on the East Coast, they were not bred to fight.

It was quite difficult to house train and, after leaving it in my back yard, I came home to find it missing. I was very happy.

I also had two of my cats disappear from my front lawn and was told that someone living around the corner had pit bulls and would let them out at certain times of the day. The pound was called numerous times but, of course, at those times the dogs were behind tall fences.

That this was less than 10 years ago and I would like to know of the Texas law is still in force.

One summer evening, while walking my twelve year old black lab Bailey through a bike path, unleashed, because he's never more than thirty feet from me, when a pitt came from around a corner. I damn near sht my pants, then Bailey saw "it", no collar, all scabbed up from fights, and he takes off going right at "it", gets there and stops, because thats what he does. They sniffed for second, then the "it" snapped, Bailey held his own, but I freaked! May God help me, but I kicked that thing as if I were trying for a fifty yard field goal, and nothing, "it" hardly blinked. Then this reprobate comes from around from the same corner running, with some sort if club in his hand raised, I didn't know if I was being "set up" or what, now I'm calling Bailey away, and just as the dogs separate, he clubs "it" right in the back of the head, full wind up, it was as if it didn't even register with "it" but "it" knew enough to stop and just lay down. Bailey was right on my heel as we passed by, in Mass. pits are supposed to be muzzled, at the same time, Bailey was supposed to be leashed, so I didn't say anything. I was more than happy to get out of there with minor injuries to Bailey. The pittbull was/is made to fight, pure and simple, a genetic experiment gone wrong. Just ask Michael Vick....

Gee wiz Brian, I just don't get you. How do you equate guns with pittbulls, and other nationalities visiting this country?

Bullying and violence is everywhere, what the heck would I care if someone decided to cross us off their bucket list? Unless you're refering to an Asian or European K-9 breed, and even then I don't get you. You b***h about bible thumpers going off topic, what the heck did you do? Other than your first sentence, all I see is off topic blah blah blah.


So far when it comes to your posts, color me a Neanderthal .

I hit the "report issue" button. Obviously this person is just here to peddle their religion and proselytize. This is why it is so important to have freedom FROM religion.
