Editor: There is a simple solution to stop the constant reporting of pit bull dog incidents in the news, once and for all.
The solution is to put a muzzle on all pit bulls when they are out in public parks.
My dog has passed on, but when I used to take her to the public park, there was a pit bull at the park that had a muzzle on it. This pit bull had a great time playing with all the dogs, as the pit bull was now playing instead of fighting.
Pit bull dogs are taking a lot of blame these days, but a lot of the blame is due to the owners themselves and the way that they are raising their pets.
The muzzle can also be used on other dog breeds that seem to have a problem with other dogs around them.
A muzzle does not constitute cruelty to an animal. The emphasis to put this solution into action is the full responsibility of the animals’ owners. Just plain commonsense.
