I saw this on FB. The "Guilty until proven innocent" people posted it. What got my panties in a bunch was the comments.

For those that don't want to read it, a Pit Bull got loose and escaped her yard then attacked and killed a Chihuahua. The Pit Bull was 18 (allegedly) and the Chi was 16 (allegedly). The PB owner says he has no idea how she got loose and no idea why she was aggressive to the other dog. The kicker? She was being kicked and hit in effort to get her to let the Chi go and did not harm the humans hurting her. But because the owner doesn't understand DA or proper containment, he says he is putting her down.

Somehow, from video or pic, the FB commentators decided the PB was chained and that's why the incident happened. Never mind the breed tends toward dog aggression. Never mind that this is a genetic trait. Around 30 people were saying this never would have happened if the dog were allowed in the house, kept unchained, socialized and loved. Even though there was nothing in the written article or the video that suggested the dog was always chained and not allowed in the house.

Why can't even the PB lovers understand the traits of the breed they tend to love and understand that genetics play a role? Why can't they understand that a chain spot is a valid containment tool and place the blame on the owner who failed to keep his equipment in good order? But noooo, it's all the chain's fault!
