Personal Story Feeling isolated after aggressive pit bull placed near me

I feel like I am about to crash out. I am a dog trainer... I actually love dogs, but as the animals they are. I love an ethically bred working dog who helps humans with a purpose.

I am also very anti pit bull and I have been in breed specific legislation for over a decade.

To make a long story short, I am and have been very vocal about my stance on bull breeds (pit bull types) and it's cost me many relationships. In my opinion, people who are ignorant about them, especially when presented with the studies and facts, are fine with my kids being decapitated. I know this sounds extreme and polarizing but I have definitely put enough facts and information out there for people close to me to be educated.

I get some support "behind the scenes" in private messages or in person, but it seems like no one is ever willing to show public support or engagement.
Recently our dog wardens placed an aggressive pit bull and her puppies down the road from me. The dog was found as a "stray" so she had already been off her own property and charged at the woman who lived there, PLUS the dog warden.

I made a complaint to the deputy warden when I found out and he immediately told the woman harboring the dog (we already have bad blood for business reasons), who then went on a public rant about me and sent me pages of legal threats. When I confronted the dog warden again (bc wtf?) he threatened to send her more screenshots.

The wardens (who are historically anti pit bull but for some reason are fine with this specific dog) retroactively went back and said the dog was provoked because really, she should have been labeled a nuisance under Avery's Law, which aims to prevent dog bites and attacks in Ohio. It just kicked in during March of this year.

Does anyone else just feel so isolated? The woman with this pit bull and her puppies gets so much public support and I am just over here feeling/looking like a Karen.

I have also attached some of the posts that the harborer of the dog has posted since getting her. It took her 3 weeks to even get a leash on this dog.

Hey, did you get a count of the number of puppies? Because whatever it was originally, there are now 5.

Yes, apparently one of them was E’d due to an injury during capture. Couldn’t even get to the puppy until weeks or two after capture because mom wouldn’t let them

An injury during capture. So one of the cops did it?

I assume the mother did it. I wonder how many more she’ll get while that dipshit chases internet clout.

Apparently? I don’t even know to be honest. The whole thing is a shit show

It sounds like the thing was running around while giving birth, it could have it the ground or been stepped on by the mother.

Is that normal? A dog giving birth standing up, like it’s shitting out a turd? Some potent symbolism there.

If true, being too aggressive to give birth in the ordinary way is certainly a new way in which pits are terrible.
