[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remind me again why pitts are still legal pets?  They need to be allowed to die out as a breed.  Mass sterilization.  I mean seriously. [/quote]

Agree. And I am a dog fanatic, but not for pitbulls, dobermans, or rottweillers.

It's actually because I'm a dog fanatic that I hate Pits. They were literally bred to take down other animals in bloodsport, if they're not a threat to me (dubious) they go at my sweet dogs more than any others like they want to eat them for breakfast (I have 70 plus lb dogs too...)[/quote]

The NYT didn't specify the breed of the dog.  They did say that the neighbors thought the dogs aggressive prior to the attack.    Apparently the Postal Service tracks dog attacks by state and Florida is in the top 10 (for whatever reason),

Letter carrier-in Florida-here (I'm nowhere near where this happened though). The reason we have more dog bites here is because, with good weather year round, dogs are outside more so we have more contact with them. In places that get cold, dogs are usually inside then so less chance of bites.

I feel so bad for my carrier sister...her truck broke down and I'm sure she got out of it because it was really really hot-she was probably seeking shade. You don't expect a pack to attack you.[/quote]
