Letter to the Editor: "No defense for pit bulls"

Don’t tell me pit bulls aren’t naturally vicious. I’ve had three encounters with them while walking my dog. One encounter cost me a $600 vet bill. And all three of the pit bulls were loved by their owners.

One local veterinarian won’t even work on them unless they’re muzzled.

I’ve never been attacked by a basset hound. There is a reason pit bulls are the dog-of-choice for drug dealers.
