Yep, got a rise of me also - what an idiot.
"In the opinion of the editors of PETSTATION, the day of "guard" dogs is over, and it is time to evolve to a higher consciousness with regard to the responsibilities which we put upon our canine friends. Protecting humans from other humans is not a function for which dogs are prepared or suitable as we enter the 21st Century."
What "new wave" crap. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> So these editors have taken it upon themselves to determine what a dog's role is in the world? That's so ignorant that it defies description.
"Perhaps once upon a time a big dog might have served as a serious discouragement to a would-be thief or mugger. But those days are long gone. In this age of gang-banging, automatic weapons, lethal steel spikes, tazers, body armor, pepper-spray, and dime-a-dozen murders, it is ridiculously naive to presume that a mere dog is going to be able to protect our person or our home from anyone who is serious about violating them."
Once again - what crap. What number of common house break-in's involve "body armor" and "automatic weapons"? This is a common tactic of the stupid - they use the "see, your dog can't protect you against a B-52 strike, so it's totally useless type logic". Use of these type of fallacies should be a tip off that the argument doesn't have a valid basis....just like here.
The "editor's" comments about guns shows me that they don't know crap about firearms either ( big surprise ) "The majority of those guns happen to be extremely powerful and lethal" Oh pleaaassee.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> I'd question if the fool that wrote this ever even fired a gun. And I live in fear for the day that I'm attacked with a sword or lance - is the writer of that article on crack or some type of hard drugs to be writing insane drivel like this?
And then you have the "progressive" GSD breeder piping in that GSD's are not for protection - no doubt true for the loser AKC American Lines crap that the breeder no doubt sells.
BWHAHAHA..and then we have the use of the myth that guns are used against their owners and cause more harm then good, just like a protection dog. This myth has been busted so many times that it just isn't funny - but it show's the anti-self defense bias of the author quite nicely, thank you.
These "editor's" put forth every anti-self defense myth in existence as the gospel
So what we have here are a bunch of "peacenik hippies who are totally against the use of self defense whatsoever, not just dogs, but any form.
I invite those of you that are concerned with the total lies that these idiots are putting into print to take a look on their "marketplace" page and perhaps let them know that due to the site's extreme bias against a Constitutional right of self defense, that you and your family won't be using their products:

I for one and going to start hitting idiots like this in the pocket book - you want to post stupid crap like that ,fine, but let's see how your sponsers like some potential loss of business, shall we?
