Annie Cowan Brown "I have an idea! We need to construct pit bull/dangerous dog protection kits and market them. What would they consist of?"

All "Bully" breed owners this is what you're up against when trying to keep your pet alive as these people will kill your pet without batting an eyelid just for looking like a "Pit Bull".

 They shout from the roof tops that "Pit Bulls" are responsible for 60% of dog bite related fatalities but what they hide is that they created the "legal term" "pit bulls" which actually refers to more then 30 actual breeds and that's why in spite of the hundreds of thousands of pit bulls killed under breed specific legislation the death toll on average has grown hence the many municipalities repealing and legislated against Bsl.

 As the ever increasing death toll indicates this is more then just a "breed" issue by anyone's logic to try and use breed specific legislation when you're actually targeting a type of dog is absurd and is doomed to fail and how many more victims in the meantime?

Lew Heifner Carry now, teach your kids gun safety. Tell them they are allowed to ask you to look at and handle the guns ANYTIME they want. Make it a weekly thing, unload, clear the gun, and had it to them. Teach gun safety. I've been shooting since I was 5-6......See More

Lew Heifner We had an "incident" in our home years ago, someone burst through a window, pistol close by or it would have been bad. Lots of questions and answered, but my family, very young kids were safe. Believe me, you won't hesitate if the need is there.

Karen Branson No because I have a vision problem that causes my eyes to have difficulty lining up. In the beginning I don't hit any but after a warm up I can hit most. But I can't trust my eyes but instead do it more on feel or blind luck! I was really good as a kid because my dad was always making me shoot cans off a fence and would give me a quarter for every shot right in the center. Back in the 80s I was also really good at the indoor range with a pistol but I haven't fired a handgun in almost 30 years.

Annie Cowan Brown Seriously though. An ACTUAL kit. The reason is TWOFOLD, 1) First and foremost to help people protect themselves and their pets from dangerous dogs. Maybe have a breadstick, spray, tazer, knife, strap (to choke em out) and a video demonstrating how to use them. This would enable people to at least have a fighting chance. 2) To raise awareness and MAKE this an issue! Can you imagine Dangerous Dog Protection Kits hanging on the shelves at Petsmart, Walmart, Petco? With a pic of a pit, staff i.e., bully, mastiff and Rottie on the package! I say we do it! TOTALLY serious here.

Gwendolyn Hanan Sounds great but do not overlook the liability problems inherent in selling something described as being effective protection from pit bull attacks....... because as soon as someone gets hurt or killed despite properly using the product its gonna be law suit city.
There will also be a huge "public perception" problem in regards to who will agree to carry something lethal enough to be effective in stopping a pit bull attack. IE anything even remotely like that will bring the rabid pro pit warriors out in force, boycotting, picketing, social media lynching, pinning the scarlet R for 'dog racist" on everyone from cashiers to CEOs in any retailer brash enough to carry a product meant to hurt a pit bull!!
If you're serious budget for an atty to minimize product liability law suits and also budget for a spin doctor to provide effective 'positive perception camouflage' for the product.

Barbara Ghiselin Annie- I have been thinking the same thing for quite a while now- dogs do have protective collars and gear ! Any ideas out there? I thought of some kind of metal mesh and helmet of hard plastic. I really think if we protect ourselves and our children much of the attraction for the BEASTS will decrease. Of course the cost will be a problem- but with some victims facing hundreds of thousands of dollars - up to $1 million in medical bills--- Our federal government should pay for it because they are not doing their job by protecting us from dangerous dogs!! Obama is SO gullible and believes the LIES and MYTHS and PROPAGANDA!!!

 If you own what these people consider to be a "bully' breed please be extremely vigilant as you can see these people obviously suffer an irrational fear of dogs and want to inflict it on the rest of society.

 I've said it before and I'll say it again are these the comments from public safety advocates or is it closer to the truth to say they're bully's and thugs?
