Obviously there is a fine line between necessary deadly force and animal cruelty.

The other source says pit bulls are basically bad animals, good and lovable ones are flukes, and most of the information supporting their good qualities are full of misinformation.
That mentality can be applied to just about anything from guns to soap to Kids crafting scissors to the ham samich that you are about to eat for lunch.

Guns, soap, crafting scissors and ham sammiches don't have much of a record of chasing other living beings down and mauling them.

Admitting that something can be dangerous isn't saying that you despise it and want it destroyed. Large dogs have the potential to be dangerous; burying our heads in the sand doesn't change this.

Flint, that is the whole issue with this entire thread... not all of us are convinced either way regarding the incident posted.

That could be a possibility. It is not unheard of for people to use their larger dogs, especially ones with reputations for being "fighters", as a tool of intimidation.

However, none of us were present.
