Provocation, even extreme provocation, hasn't stopped some people from killing dogs that simply tried to defend themselves.

And there are people on this board who have advocated killing all pitbulls period. And there are areas that are doing just that.

I used to dream of moving to Canada. Now I won't even consider it for fear that my very gentle lab/chow/x shelter dog would be killed because somebody might decide he looks like a pit bull. Because that is the standard. If a person in "authority" decides your dog is a pit bull, it is a pit bull and is killed.

And now that brainless, malicious and hateful mentality is migrating south.

If bald guy is upset, maybe that is the reason for it.
