While Aurora, Colorado considers getting rid of their discriminatory ban that has done nothing to assist in the concept of public safety, local columnist Dave Perry wants everyone to know that any dog that he deems to be a Pit Bull is probably hiding behind a tree ready to kill you. His latest column in the Aurora Sentinel is chock-full of hate, vagueness, fear, doublespeak and outright deception.

Here is just a few responses to his most asinine claims:

“Well-organized lobby”?
No one needs a “lobby” when the absolute truth shows that millions and millions of these animals are completely innocent and have done nothing negative to anyone. The “lobby” portion of this debate are people like yourself, promoting statistics from hate groups like DogsBite.org (another “lobby”), in an effort to criminalize millions of dogs through legislation for the actions of 0.0000000001% of the same dogs that are visually identified (by you) to fit the determination of a “Pit Bull.”

“The evidence is unwavering and indisputable”?
Again, total opposite day hogwash. Actually, evidence shows that 99.9 infinity 9 percent of these dogs are innocent. You want to talk about evidence? Evidence actually shows that any dog who has ever fatally killed a person almost exclusively is a roaming or a chained dog that is acting under not a lick of supervision from its owner. That’s evidence. The “evidence” that you use against Pit Bulls is cherry-picked nonsense that hardly ever gets verified on any level.

“Pit Bull owners have conspired to perpetuate a host of myths”?
This sounds like what you are doing, by typecasting entire groups of literal millions as one. That’s common sense. I know it hurts to be called out.

It’s quite ironic that the people that soak themselves in doublespeak all too often end up accusing others of the exact acts that they routinely carry out. They are folks without mirrors, and without a shred of conscience or ability for self-examination. They are folks who scoff at questioning, and only want to pay attention to the bits and pieces of information that (in their minds) confirm what they already think.

Finally, you claimed that people who adopt Pit Bulls are “misguided.” Really? Listen to yourself. Listen to how extraordinarily judgmental you sound. I’m not even going to provide other contextually relevant versions of that statement, people are certainly smart enough to do that on their own.

Dave Perry, for all intents and purposes, you are a fool. So with that, I’m not going to bother with calling such a flagrantly arrogant and ignorant person anything but a fool. Fool.
