One response to “Bluefield, WV Considers BSL”
It is not just the pit bulls fault. People do not take the time to understand the dog. any dog that feels threatened will attack. It’s all about who raises the dog. Some people are the same if they are raised the wrong way they will attack for no reason and keep doing it until they die. Are you going to bann people too? Im not saying what you all are doing is wrong but pitbulls were bred to be FAMILY dogs not what these people are making them. Something else needs to be thought of to save the pitbulls and keep them sweet like most are.
