I watch the animal cops shows, you know, Precinct (New York), Miami, Phoenix, Houston and Detroit. Usually they have Miami and Houston on, like today. Yesterday I saw a Miami show where two pit bulls jumped in some ladies car and the male was guarding it from her. So an ACO comes and gets them and they have tags so he goes to their house. Of course Pitties are banned there so he tells the guy he has two days to get rid of them or they die. Luckily he bumped up the time to a week and the man moves. OK, no biggy that's BSl, they did not bad mouth the dogs much except when the male was guarding the car which is understandable. Today I was watching another episode of Miami and there were two pitties who got loose, went into someone's yard, tore into their bunny hutches and killed all but three rabbits. So of course they are aggressive, dangerous dogs *sigh*. The narrator tells that because pit bulls were bred as "savage fighting dogs" that they often attack animals and humans and that is why they are illegal in Miami. The ACO was saying "well the two pit bulls ripped open the cage and kil...murdered all the rabbits" (because of course the dogs are murderers now). So he busts out a big piece of wood and his catch pole, the wood is to block the dogs in case they charge him. Both dogs are laying down paying no attention to him by the way. So he SLOWLY catch poles them and the narrator says "although they *look* placid the ACO knows what these dogs are capable of" as the camera pans back to the dead rabbits. SO he catch poles them which they do not even react to, they get up and walk with him. He puts them away and then says "well we know they are aggressive by seeing what they did to the rabbits, the obviously didn't want them for food they just wanted to kill them" 
Both dogs were PTS because they are banned.
So now anyone watching that show that had no opinion or an on the fence opinion about pit bulls knows they are vicious murderers. They also now know that dogs who kill bunnies are going to soon turn to people and than animals aggression is the same as people aggression. Thank guys!
What's even crazier is that on a different episode of the same show a Rottie Bit on of the ACOs while he was petting a female Rottie that came in with the Rottie that bit. You could tell the dog was going to bite, he froze, gave whale eyes and puckered his lips before biting. The ACO needed stitches but they decided not to put him down but to put him in training. OKay I gugess, he had just gotten there, was in a kennel with another dog and in a new situation being leaned over by a man, fine. The trainer focused on dominance. A while later the ACO went to meet the dog again who was now a supposedly reformed dog (he's in a Rottie rescue at this time). The ACO and a foster parent I guess were sitting a bench while the ACO was petting him and they were talking about how good he looked and the do suddenly turns and grabs the ACO's arm and the ACO goes falling off the bench. He was bleeding again. This time the dog gave NO warning signs (good job trainer dude!). This dog is once again spared from being PTS.
So they let a dog who bites someone twice, once without warning and even the warnings the first time were subtle (no growling, snarling or showing teeth) live and they dub two pit bulls vicious murderers for hunting rabbits, two dogs who showed no aggression towards and person and have them put down. WTF?
I hate that show, I want them to start showing more Animal Precinct, they like bullies. One of the ACOs adores them, he always talks about how beautiful they are and sweet. I love that show.
okay that's enough out of me /rant.
