I don’t often do this but today I issued a public apology. I’m sorry to all of the pit bull owners that I’ve criticized over the years. I realize now that your reasons for owning these animals are valid. I was wrong. I’m sorry.

A family in Fort Smith, AR, just shared a horrific story of a pit bull attack on their farm, in which one of their cows, Maple, was attacked, dragged into a pond, and drowned by the dogs. The entire family, children included, are traumatized. The pits have yet to be put down.

My son was mauled to death by two of them raised from puppies. They turned on their owner and killed him. The attack lasted almost 10 minutes. youtu.be/iFa8HOdegZA

Pitbulls should be banned and there is no sane argument to the contrary. They are dangerous animals, responsible for a vastly disproportionate number of fatal maulings in this country. The fact that you think they're cute does not outweigh the danger. Ban them.

Record adoption numbers and they can’t even pay people to take these things.
