• You Breedist!

  While walking today, this lady wanted to pet the dogs (actually just Nori, poor Mochi, he's being ignored in favor of a smaller cuter brother.)

  Well, besides making the mistake of just liking the smaller cuter one, she bends over and then stops and asks me if this is a pit bull -- you know because she never touches pit bulls.  I find a lot wrong with this.

  1. She is already too close, if she were facing a pit bull that she should be afraid of at that range, asking whether Nori was a pit bull would have been one of the last things on her mind.
  2. Since she had to ask, I deduced that she had never met a pit bull.  If this is the case, then she made her decision on not petting pit bulls on ignorance.  This FUD based decisionmaking is always a bad thing and earns only my scorn.
  3. Since she most likely never met a pit bull, she never knew them to be really cute dogs when raised properly.
  4. BESIDES HOW CAN YOU EVER MISTAKE A PUG FOR A PITBULL?!, stupid lady.

  I'm thinking about this also because the rainman sent me a couple links to articles about Pit bulls.  It's all FUD + Ignorance.
