Every publicity whore in the dog world came out to bemoan one dead Pit Bull in Belfast a few weeks ago, but as I pointed out at the time there were a hundred dogs a day being killed in Ireland and dog rehoming places begging for funds, while nearly a million Pit Bulls a year are killed right here in America.
We hardly need the likes of Victoria Stilwell (or anyone else) flying around the world if they want to do good work for dogs in general, and Pit Bulls in particular.
Of course, if it's just a matter of being a publicity whore, then that's something altogether different isn't it?
Since I wrote those words, in my own County two Pit Bulls attacked a man stepping out of his car, seriously injuring him right in front of his young son. The police shot one of the dogs dead.
Now a dog "rescue" in Montgomery County, Texas has been found with 300 Pit Bulls jammed into crates and cages and covered in filth.
Petco has supplied crates (God bless them) and the Humane Society of the U.S. was called in to help, as it was deemed too big a case for the local Montgomery County Humane Society to deal with.
So how many Pit Bulls will Victoria Stilwell take, train, rehome, and guarantee as safe? Ten? Twenty? Fifty?
Remember, this is a woman who flew across the Atlantic for publicity, spending thousands of dollars on airplane fair and hotel accommodations to save a single dog in a country where she does not live. Now, how much time and money will she spend to save the nearly One Million Pit Bulls killed in this country every year?
Does she really believe they can all be adopted out? Is the depth of her ignorance about the Pit Bull problem in America and the Bull Staffie problem in the U.K. really that deep?
