It undoubtedly says something about the human condition that 50% of marriages do not work out.

Are pit bulls safe to have as a domestic dog?

Some drug dealers used to have the vocal cords of their pit bulls, Dobermans and Rottweilers severed, so the dogs couldn't bark. They wanted the dogs to approach any intruders silently--giving them no warning so they could escape.

It really, really bothers me when neighbors have those pit bulls. They get them for protection, not realizing that the dogs are a greater threat to their safety than the likelihood an intruder might harm them. There are people living in my "stateside neighborhood" who have them. Those dogs are quite adept at escaping pens and yards, and they will often come into other people's yards and attack them with no provocation whatsoever. Then the owners say, "Oh, I just cannot believe Buster killed that poor child! He was always sooooo sweet!" When I hear pit bulls owners say things like that, it makes me want to take a baseball bat to them.

I don't worry about them except to just be prepared. If any of them ever attack any neighbors, I will ask my wife to call 911 so they can pick up the perforated pits. I am not sure of the proper etiquette in these situations--should I bill the owners for the cost of the ammunition used? ;-)

I hate working for the company I work for.

Really--how GOOD is the union you have there? It sounds to me like they've been neutered. A union rep is not allowed to speak during a meeting? What does he do--mouth words to you that requires lip reading? I mean, what GOOD is a union that is so hamstrung?

Here's something you could toss out . . . it could be possible to sue both management AND the union. I know you don't want to go that far, as you'd probably have to shell out a lot of money up front. I found out some time ago that British lawyers do not like to work on a contingency fee basis.

Ultimately, the solution is to find another job. In the meantime, don't let them beat you. Continue to document everything. If it's legal in the UK, record some interactions with management.

And be sure you don't do anything that would give them justification to let you go.

There are organizations that are as mentally disturbed and dysfunctional as some individuals!

Are pit bulls safe to have as a domestic dog?

Here's a great article on dog breeds that are uninsurable (meaning that if you have one of these, most insurance companies won't insure you):
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/canine-cor...

Here's an excerpt fro the article: "The dog breeds which can be found on these lists seem to be drawn from a series of research studies such as one commissioned by the U.S. National Center for Injury Prevention and Control that was published in 2000. It looked at the statistics on fatal dog bites (click here to read more about this). However, it seems as though any dog bite incident that receives wide media coverage can also land a dog breed on such a list. Thus the Presa Canario was a dog breed that few people had heard of prior to the media coverage of a 2001 incident in San Francisco. The media luridly described how a woman was viciously mauled to death by two of these big dogs in the hallway of her apartment building. As a result the owner of these dogs is now serving a sentence of 15 years to life in prison. Although the Presa Canario remains a quite rare breed in North America, it now seems to appear on every prohibited dog breed list issued by the insurance companies."

Now, think about that: a dog owner is SERVING a 15-year prison sentence!

Another couple was successfully sued for $2.2 million as a result of their dogs attacking someone--but their homeowner's liability was only for $100,000. They lost their home and are now in massive debt. You cannot discharge a court judgment through bankruptcy, either!

Hope this helps . . . just trying to point out if you own a pit bull, the risks outweigh any possible benefits!
