pets, pits and poverty

Animal Uncontrol posed the following: "Should people with pets, particularly multiple, large pets be eligible for public assistance?  I.E. Welfare, food stamps, WIC, Section 8 housing, Medicaid, etc..." and one of the more lively debates erupted at his blog. one of the craven regulars, Pit Dispatcher was involved in that lively debate and then sent me the following comment and photos.

Aw fuck it, AC, you win.
Here are 2 homeless bums, with a huge sign declaring that they are hungry. 

But what are they doing? Feeding an enormous, well muscled, gripper. While begging for food and money.

This is right next to a busy restaurant, at at intersection of a busy shopping center.

Of course this monster isn't neutered, and even with that collar, there is no way they would be able to control a mauler this size.

I generally have no problem with homeless having dogs. It's practical to have one if you have to camp everyday, and let's face it, they can eat garbage.

But I object to homeless with huge grippers. It's super reckless, and a public safety issue. It's offensive and ridiculous to pretend your hungry while feeding a dog that probably eats more food than they do.

Xylitol treats for all!
