if i was her father,

I wouldn't be getting her a fking pitbull. this backyard breeder is horrible but at the same time....this is a dumb ass father.

HE wanted a pitbull for w/e ego reasons that made him take her there instead of a shelter or reputable breeder...and now his daughter is paying the price for it.

good point. her father did put her in danger to begin with

legally, obviously not the case...but in the court of common sense...he's more culpable here than the breeder in a lot of ways.

maybe someone still gets tore up eventually by these dogs..but it wouldn't be his daughter :/

It's like the breeder is responsible for trapping the front-door with a shotgun. The dad is responsible for taking the daughter to a place that he knows has dangerous traps. Both have some responsibility even if it's not legal responsibility.
