So there is a lawyer in Ontario that wants the Supreme Court of Canada to look at the pitbull ban. He is appealing the decisions of other courts to the Supreme Court. Apparently the S.C. does not want to look at the issue and believes that this breed is unpredictable and will attack. Well if you think about it any animal is unpredictable because you never know what they are thinking. There are many dogs larger than pitbulls that can do just as much damage. There is no such physical thing as lock jaw.
A woman in my neighbourhood had a german shephard and when she was outside the dog was outside without a leash around her children and my friends and I walked home from the bus stop passing by. She saw my dog and thinks it is this breed. She said he's unpredictable and dangerous. We know my dog's personality and history and he is an absolute awesome dog that is scared of everything. He is not a fear aggressive dog, he is pretty much a coward, but we love him, he is a joy and his temperment is perfect. Even though we know my dog he's still unpredictable she says. And she says she knew her dog and she was trained. So you know your dog and left her off leash around kids and strangers and she was predictable even though you can't tell what any animal is thinking, and any animal can "snap". But we know our dog but that doesn't matter because of what she thinks he is. She also pulled her hand back and pretended to hit him but he didnt do anything. I guess she was expecting him to bite or bark or "attack" or something. A week ago a newspaper described a pitbull as blood thirsty. This got me angry but i guess newspapers will say anything to get people to read and buy the paper.
Anyways I am going on a little rant however, I don't watch Rachel Ray at all but I stumbled across this on the Badrap website.

If you want to learn more instead of relying on the one sided media read about these animals from pedigree books or read about their history. It is better to be informed and make your own decisions rather than relying on ignorance and media.
- even though you are watching media on here lol.
