Attacked by Pit Bull - GET RID OF THEM!

yea this is kind of funny, dogs aren't agressive unless trained to be
so......yea right!!!

While I've never had a pit I have had a crazy ass lab/husky mix who thought
that regardless of size that it could take on any damned dog it pleased. He
was never abused and certainly not trained to do so he just hated other
dogs. His whole life he only ever got along with 3 other dogs one of them a
stray that I took in and my sisters chi hua hua's.

Do you mean to say they are now running a 'no-kill', open door shelter? I'd
like to see that. On some scales I can see this being true, but in the
broader sense I have my doubts. The problem is, there just aren't always
enough of the right homes available, or space to keep the animals while you
locate the right home, regardless of resources thrown at it.
As a case in point, how many packs of human aggressive chihuahuas do you
think you could place? I'm surprised they even found one. Imagine now that
another pack comes in... then what do you do? Do you keep them around until
the right home shows up? What if a pack of puppies then comes in?
In some sense, you always have to prioritize your resources. Sometimes this
means euthanasia, although as you point out, the resources involved in
euthanizing an animal are not nil.

Dunno, I wouldn't like to be confronted with one, although it might be funny
to watch on some kind of sitcom.
