Here in Atlanta, we have a lot of pit bull/American Staffordshire terrier type dogs for some reason. I have my theories about those reasons, and I have my own personal database of anecdotal evidence from living near the park, but I'm not about to touch that with a 40 foot pole. Suffice it to say, my knee-jerk, unfair, judgmental predisposition toward anyone walking an AST type dog is to assume they have some serious cognitive or emotional impairment.

For those of you with severe cognitive impairments, I'll put it simply: if you own a pit bull, I don't like you, for no good reason other than I think you're a moron, for no good reason other than I don't like your dog. Like Andy Rooney once said, I recognize this is a narrow-minded, mean-spirited opinion, but I hold it.

Pit bull/rottweiler mixed breeds mauled some granny to death last week, and the owner of the dogs isn't going to be held responsible (but God forbid someone find my gun and commit a crime with it). Pit bull apologists always croon and moan about “Oh they're suuuuuuch sweeeeeeeet puppies if you socialize them right.” And as long as you keep it under glass, the Ebola virus is a delightful and fascinating little microbe, but there's a reason we keep the thing in secure facilities. It's crap. They're mean, violent, dangerous, rotten little dogs, and it's time people stopped trying to keep them as pets. “Poor mistreated abused little doggies” my arse; my little Sarah was beaten, tied up, and abandoned, and even if she ever wanted to do more than lick you to the point of annoyance, she certainly hasn't the strength to kill.

I'm tired of pit bull apologists. Your little pets are natural born killers, and it's time you owned up to it.
