Former 'Scandal' Actor Hungani Ndlovu attacked for Defending Pit Bulls: “Stop Embarrassing Yourself”

• Hungani Ndlovu had a rough day on the Twitter streets when he shared his position on the banning of pit bulls
• The former Scandal actor posted several tweets defending the dogs and saying the breed is not naturally dangerous
• Mzansi people were disappointed by his stance and asked him to stop embarrassing himself, along with thousands of comments attacking him

In the wake of an 8-year-old boy getting mauled to death by a pit bull in Bloemfontein last week, calls from the public to ban the breed have been intensifying.

Hungani Ndlovu weighed in on this touchy topic on Twitter and said that dog owners are responsible for the spade of fatal human attacks, reported Zalebs.

"Pit bulls aren’t inherently dangerous dogs. The owner is responsible for how he/she moulds the dog. Y’all wanna ban Pit Bulls but keep Rottweilers, Bull Terriers, German Shepherds, the list goes on! It’s not the dog! It’s the owner!"

The former Scandal actor further elaborated on his stance and compared the death caused by pit bulls to people dying in car accidents.

"You can’t drive 300km per hr then jiki jiki you’re in an accident, and we must blame the car. It’s the owner, not the dog! This pit bull situation is like blaming alcohol for the drunk drivers on the street instead of the drinker/driver. The problem is the owner, not the dog."

South Africans were not in the mood for his differing opinions from the majority and wrote in his comments section that they were shocked by his way of reasoning.

The influx of backlash comments forced him to delete the tweets just to silence the public's outrage.
