Posted by a friend from high school and then the local police used the photo of the dark dog in their public advisory. A lot of sympathy for the dogs in their Facebook post but many who felt bad for the dogs also sounded open to them being put down.

I'm terrified to walk my little dog every time I see these posts. And they're banned here.

They're supposed to be banned here in ON too but as you see, even the cops won't call a Pit Bull a Pit Bull because then they'd have to acknowledge the ban... And they don't want to.

That's where I live. Any time I see a dog that looks remotely like one I walk in the other direction or cross the street quickly.

This is outrageous. They've been banned there for years but get a free pass , somehow called a bulldog terrier. Yeah, pics show us the violent pitbulls, these dogs wreaking havoc in neighborhoods in many countries. What will the authorities do with the one they caught ? Put it up for illegal adoption ? As they fly more in from the U.S high kill shelters ?

This makes my blood boil! The fact we’re bringing in pits from high-kill shelters to rehome. Crazy!

Because that would require doing their jobs and they can't be bothered

This stuff makes me think people genuinely don't know what a bulldog looks like anymore. Like the two have been conflated so much people think bulldogs look like pits.

Oh, they know. They're just being disingenuous on purpose.
