well the thing is, if you drive a car recklessly then theres a high chance of death or serious injury, if you take the right precautions then those risks are very much minimised, its the same (to an extent) with dwa animals, with the correct safety measures and training then the risks are managable.

This is my excuse...

If you love and have a passion so much about somthing, you would take care of that animal, even though it could kill you.

There is many people who keep DWAs just for the thril and the "too look cool infront of people"

But there is a fair few people who keep it for the passion,


That is all
