Perhaps you should take a look at the facts. Then go get one if you want, get a pit and rot. Train them well, wish you the bestQuote:

We had a rottie when I was growing up. Best dog you would ever want to be around, unless you were the electric meter reader. That dog knew when that man was coming. We lived out in the country, and Tag-a-long would start barking as soon as he heard the truck at the house up the road. Why did he hate this man so much? Because the dirty SOB sprayed him with mace and Tag wasn't doint anything to him, he was pinned near the box, but not where he could get the man. After that, it didnt matter who was reading the meter, Tag knew the truck, and wouldn't shut up till they were gone.
He was a sweatheart. There was one incident with a friend of mine, he thought she was threatening me, and he nipped her leg, without breaking the skin or doing any damage at all, to warn her, and that was the only time the whole time we had him that anything like that ever happened. he would even follow my dad out on the watershed and lay on a log in the water while dad fished from the boat. I miss that old boy, havent thought about him in years.

I would in this day and age hope people wouldn't watch the news and assume everything they hear on it is a fact. The facts are...pitts and rotts combined only count for 3% of all dog bites. That's it. More people are in the emergency room for small dog bites on a daily basis. Yes, if you train your pitt or rott to be mean, or you neglect them as so many people do, the chances are you will get hurt worse from their bite. But, if people are gonna say we should ban these dogs, then I think fair is fair, the little dogs should be banned also, as they do bite more often. And for a child, it is tramatic no matter what bites them. It always amazes me that everytime i hear a story about a child being attacked by a pitt, you also hear of the horrible ways these dogs are forced to live. Abuse, neglect....it's a shame. Then you hear of these stories where dogs are being banned. There was a search and rescue rottie that had to be put down because of BSL and this dog had saved hundreds of lives. A couple of the dogs that were there for 9-11 had to be put down. They did more for people than most people do for people, sorry you feel these dogs are bad or dangerous.
"is that because it is easier to blame a breed and hate a breed than possibly learn facts about the animal most people fear the unknown (in this case the pitt bull)"
It is easier because it is factual and the people debating these facts or throw out info about other breeds likr the killer poodles (to take light off the pits) don't want to see them becasuse then their doggies at home might be seen in a diferent light. We know some of you have pits that haven't atacked. Again these breeds were designed, ie. bread to FIGHT. There is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO way around that. A fact is a FACT. So yes rally for your pets if you must but know that these breeds are not like any other pets and they will never be. No matter how much love you give your pits they could turn at a moments notice because of theit breed. facts again. I am glad your pits are ok, for now. But don't come in here complaining that something set them off and they bit as they were intended to do by breading.
The REASON they were 'bred' to fight, is because they have VERY powerful jaw muscles...THAT is what they are born with, and WHY they were the desirable breed for fighting...they were/are TAUGHT to fight and attack
Pitbulls are dangerous and vicious. It's in their nature to protect themselves first. I don't think we should completely wipe out the pitbulls, not all of them are vicious. I think it's seriously how they are trained, because all dogs can be trained to not attack kids. I mean what are we to do, I know that pitbulls won't be completely wiped out no matter what. There are pitbulls lovers out there.
Thats what makes these dogs so dangerous. They should not be allowed to be breed for all the reasons you listed above.Quote:
