Now on a random encounter with a dog what should be my logical response be if that dog ends up being a pitbull? Raise or lower my awareness? Raise is the obvious answer. Now does it matter if its the owner faults that pits have a violent reputation, who cares, that doesn't change the situation.
A month or so ago i was doing some rounds at some rental property, there is a empty pitch black old school barn on the property (that no one is supposed to use). I heard some noises from the barn, so i walk in. I find 2 pits barking their asses off at me. Luckily they were chained up and not able to get to me. Did i shoot them just because they were a few feet away, barking like crazy animals at me and because they are pitbulls? NO. Like any situation you assess the situation and move on. In this situation i blame the owners for their aggression, because if i was chained up in the pitch black rolling in my own piss i would be pissed off too!
For whatever its worth, i ran into one of the same dogs a week or so later and it was a really sweet dog (at that moment at least).
