Rude, immature person answered my call concerning the neighbor's aggressive pit bull. She was hostile from the get go. I called because I live in a neighborhood banning fences, the neighbor is hostile and the dog is acting in a aggresive fashion, making direct eye contact with me, standing with it's tail straight up, and barking every time I am gardening in my yard. I don't feel safe in my yard. The Humane Society's response of suggesting I calling the police instead of them is grossly inadequate. The Humane Society has blood on its hands. It is directly responsible for severe injuries and deaths of thousands of children, teens and adults and the mauling and deaths of even more animals by promoting the adoption of pit bulls. A pit bull image is currently the logo of the Huron Valley Humane's society literature, posters, and on fundraiser posters. One of my neighbor's German Shepherd had its eye gouged out by two pit bulls that escaped from a neighbors electronic fenced yard. Promoting adoption by default promotes popularizing the breed and encouraging more breeding. Pit bulls are completely banned in 12 countries including Denmark. Pit bulls and pit bull mixes are responsible for the majority hospitalizations due to dog bites and the majority of deaths in dog attacks. Insurance companies in other states charge more for or refuse to insure homes whose owners have a pit bull because 1/3 of all home insurance claims are paid out to victims of dog bites and the vast majority of these bites are pit bulls. The Michigan Humane Society spearheaded legislation that prevents Michigan home owners from being penalized for owning a pit bull - which means that the rest of us who don't own pit bulls are subsidizing the cost to society by having our insurance rates hiked up to cover the cost of insurance payouts for pit bulls. I think people who choose to own a dangerous animal should take full responsibility and full consequences - including being sued, having their insurance go up, and being jailed for harm inflicted by their furry weapons.
