Lately in the news I am hearing to many stories about dog being killed, and it seems that almost always it is a pit bull. I will be posting a few links that you can read and see some of the stories that I am referring to. I am so saddened by this and I know that our situation is not entirely the same as some, but the end result is death of a family pet, and it is that end result that has got to stop. Coco is not with us today because of ignorance and fear of a police officer. That statement is mild compared to what I would really like to say, but I do have to keep in mind that we want to take the high road! We miss Coco every day and the more times I hear about pit bulls being shot the more I wish I could hold him just one more time.
Today I was contacted by the people who owned this pit bull and also by someone that was at the incident. My heart goes out to them because I know how they feel. They are going to be engaging on a journey for justice just as we did. I do not know all the facts and I am not in anyway putting fault on any party, but I am saying once again an pit bull is dead because of an officer who could not think of another way to handle his fear(keep in mind alleged fear!)
