Was i Wrong? Should i have just minded my buisness?
Yesterday i was at one of my friend’s house and one of his friends who i don’t know bought his 7 month old pit bull puppy over. So we’re all sitting around chillin and this dude starts slapping the dog in the face and pulling on his ears and using his feet to push the dog across the floor and the dog is clearly irritated and barking and snapping at him. So i said to him “why are you treating your dog that way”? And he said “hey, this is a pitbull, not a Lab, he’s supossed to be mean and not a sissy”. Needless to say i disagreed and we got into a heated argument over the way a dog should be treated. This dog was in pain when this dude pulled his ears cause he yelped everytime. It made me angry that somebody would treat a puppy that way and if it wasn’t for my boy i would took this dude outside and made him yelp! But my boy broke us up and i just left to keep from slugging this jerk in the mouth. Do you think i was wrong? I’m a straight-up dog lover!

You were definately not wrong!! In fact, I think your friend needs to NOT be a pet owner. That’s how good dogs turn mean.

I’d have kicked the cr@p out of your friend. That is NOT the way to treat a dog, unless you want it to become aggressive and attack you sometime.

I think you did the right thing. This is the kind of jerk who should never own a pitt bull. They think that a pit needs to be all tough, and are mean to it. Pulling a dog’s ears a little in play is fine, doing it until it hurts is wrong. But don’t worry, a man who treats a big dog like that will learn when it turns on him. Its just sad because this man is going to turn his do into the animal that the media portrays pitt bulls to be.

No, you were not wrong. He was abusing the dog. I don’t care what breed it is, any dog can be made mean by treatment like that. And any dog, regardless of breed, and be made loveable by proper treatment.
Turn him in to your local humane society for animal cruelty. I would.

You were absolutely right, and the dude has no right owning any type of animal. What he did is considered animal cruelty, and you should report him.

your not wrng, that kid was wrong. that is animal cruelty and just casue it is a pitbull doesnt mean you can treat it like sh*t… if you really wante dto do somethign about it you could call an animal cruelty hotline so they can save the dog or otherwise, if it grows up in the vilolence it will become the steriotypical pitbull, nasty… i am not saying all pitbulls are nasty, i have a really sweet one who sleeps with me at night but if you treat them like crap they are going to lash out when they grow up

Your reaction is honorable. You did the right thing. Now you should call animal control on that guy. Hopefully you have his name. If not, ask your friend where he lives but don’t tell him why you want to know that. Thanks for watching out for animals.

HE SHOULD HAVE THE DOG REMOVED FROM HIS CUSTODY!!!
Anyone who tries to make an animal viscious needs to be locked in a psych ward.
One day the dog will bite or attack because of the ause from the owner. He’ll land in jail plus get sued for everything he owns and the dog’s fate is sealed.
Call your animal officer and report the abuse of hitting and striking the puppy to make it mean. So he doesn’t talk to anymore if he figures out who complains?? Who wants too have anything to do with someone like that??

No you weren’t wrong and you should have done to him what he was doing to that puppy and show him how it felt. Him and owners like him is what is getting pit bulls and other dogs banned in some places. Maybe if you can try to get the humane people in the picture and let them know what is happening.
