I don't see that she needs to die because she's DA.

Actually, maybe I should reword that, as well as expand upon it. I don't see that Tank nor Bailey, nor any other dog aggressive dog I have or will handle in the future should have to die because they are DA and OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T FOLLOW LEASH LAWS! I can't control what other people do with their dogs, but I can control my dogs chances of being, or not being involved in an incident!There is no way in hell I am going to be trapped in my house or yard with my dogs because of irresponsible idiots who don't properly confine their dogs, and not have complete freedom to go wherever I want, whenever I want, with my dogs to work on their training, socializing and get them some excercise. My dogs have just as much right to be out in public as any other dog regardless of their dog aggression but I also have enough sense to know that idiots will be idiots and I don't want my dogs biting another dog AND THEY WILL IF GIVEN THE CHANCE! That would put them so far back in their training and all my hard work to desensitize them to behaving around other dogs in public. Muzzling looks alot better to the public than me having to pry one of them off someones dog. I am very much against laws requiring certain breeds to be muzzled especially when half the dogs included in muzzle laws don't need to be muzzled, but I also have enough sense and experience to know what dogs I'm handling will benefit, YES, BENEFIT from wearing a muzzle. I hear it again and again from pit bull owners how they are so scared to walk their dogs for fear a loose dog may approach them or whatever so instead, they hide their dog in the house or walk at night in fear which I'm sure is GREAT for the dogs psyche! That is so sad to me, for the dog and the owner! I've actually asked ALOT of people what their first impression was when they saw me walking Tank with his muzzle and you know what they said, not that they thought "look at that mean dog" they thought "look at that responsible owner!" Muzzles have improved my dogs life. His life sucked before I got him. He was always locked away or getting in crap. Now he's much better trained, better socialized, in better shape and under control because of his muzzling. He LOVES his muzzle. As soon as I touch it he dances around so excited because he knows a walk is coming. You know what all these anti muzzle people sound like. Just the same as the people out there who won't leash their damn dogs! "If your dog needs a leash, it's a bad dog" type attitude. Seriously, our breed would probably be in a BETTER state if people used the tools at their disposal to keep their dogs safe, and in my opinion, for some dogs, that includes muzzles. That's my rant for the day.
