Stabbing people in the face is probably not a socially approved way to show my displeasure towards ignorant people. I really really really wanted to though.
This pic doesn't really explain my fury.
Anyhoo, your classic case of irresponsible dog owner came in to my work today. First he asked me if we did K9 (ie. police style attack/guard dog training). I work at PETCO for Pete's sake, of course we don't do fucking police training there! He then asked if we do ear cropping for dogs there. Of-fucking-course we do not offer that!. I told him he'd have to check with his vet and I knew it was pretty expensive. He asked if I knew how much, and I replied I had no idea probably somewhere around $200 bucks. I then asked what kind of dog it was (although I already knew) and he replied pit bull.
So there I was, a responsible pit bull owner, face to face with a ignorant irresponsible pit bull owner and all I could imagine was the violent actions I wanted to do to him. It was really hard for me to maintain my neutral composure. (He had purchased the pit from a back yard breeder, received her about 3 weeks TOO EARLY as she is now about 8 weeks old and he's had her for about a month, has not had any vet visits and she has had no shots. He does not plan to spay her and is obviously only interested in owning a pit bull because of how "tough" they look.)
Yeah. Poor Fay looks really fucking tough. Maybe because she is missing her bottom lip because of all the dog fights her "owners" put her through. (She ended up passing away during the surgery to help fix the damage from all the dog fights.)

And don't even get me started on the fucking bastards on Craigslist.
This all totally over shadows the incredible experience we had on Saturday when an elderly woman, who had never seen a pit bull in person got to meet Stella. She said meeting Stella and having such a great experience with her and seeing how she is so well trained has totally changed her impression on the breed. She was so excited that Stella let her pet her and gave her kisses, and was legitimately happy to see her. :: sighs :: I know, I know... I gotta keep my head up and continue the good fight, but it's really fucking hard.

That really sucks, I hope some one reports that guy for how he treats that puppy.
Poor, poor little dog, that is a very sad story
That is really great, changing peoples mind one person at a time, but when you change one persons mind then they change some ones mind and then they do the same, you are doing a good thing.
