Support for Rudman's 'pit bull on a barbie' column

Herald columnist Brian Rudman's call to "throw another pit bull on the barbie" has caused an international storm, but is now bringing words of support.

Angry emails from the US, Canada and the UK are pouring into the Herald after his column spread online.

Rudman said people should "not get too sanctimonious over one dead pit bull" in the wake of the story about a dog being cooked on a family BBQ in south Auckland earlier this month.

The email feedback was almost universally opposed to Rudman's comments until this article was published.

    "Rudman reacted to the comments today by saying: "If the abusive and threatening tirade from US pit bull owners is representative, then is it any wonder that their pets have learnt to be equally aggressive and life threatening?"

    Considering Rudman just sits there throwing insults at Pit Bull owners from the safety of his newspaper column, I vote The Herald pushes the old dog out the gate a bit to defend himself. I wonder how comfortable he'd be defending his own comments if he were to write an entire article on what he believes to be true about Pit Bulldogs IF the people he likes to insult had equal opportunity to correct him where he needs it. Rudman himself should have no problem with this idea because he already knows everything already according to him and doesn't much care what normal people think. I would also like to point out that it's only your life they were "threatening" Rudman, and you were asking for this response anyway.
