Read Time:1 Minute, 21 Second

Even as Americans are becoming more enlightened about the many good qualities of Pit Bull dogs, some have yet to accept these wonderful animals as anything but a threat.

(Newser) One family in Moreauville, La., says its beloved dog has never bit or attacked anyone. In fact, the family with six children calls Zeus something of a therapy dog for daughter O’Hara Owens, who is in a wheelchair and suffers from severe neck problems that also have her in a brace. But Zeus is a pit bull, and he now risks being put down thanks to the town’s recently passed ordinance banning all pit bulls and Rottweilers, reports kalb.com. Moreauville has sent out letters advising owners that if such dogs aren’t gone come Dec. 1, it will confiscate them for “further disposition.”

The family, which has also been interviewed by CNN, recently took its story to MoveOn.org, where, as of this writing, more than 145,000 people have so far signed a petition asking the tiny hamlet’s mayor, chief of police, and aldermen to reconsider. (The 2010 US Census puts the population of Moreauville at 929, so enough people to populate it more than 155 times have now, in effect, signed the petition.) Even if the ordinance holds, “They’re going to have to take him from my cold, dead hands,” O’Hara says. (Check out how one pit bull recently saved a boy from a bee attack.)

Dogs are only aggressive if they have been trained to be or allowed to be. This is disgraceful.

I have known several pit bulls in my life and not one of them was dangerous or aggressive. One was rather dippy, but I’ve been accused of that myself.

I did know a dachshund though, that wold rip a finger off at the least provocation.

My Yorkies, if I order them to attack will look at me as if I had grown a second head. “Are you crazy? This is our new best friend!”

A know that a lot of small dogs can be aggressive as a means of compensating for their size. But this one was always in a bad mood towards everyone.

Chihuahuas have known often were a bit sensitive but not towards their caregivers.

It’s like all the village idiots have congregated and tried to one up each other. My aunts’ pitbull is the best dog ever, next to my yappers of course.
