[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's actually something narcissistic in the way pitbull owners get self-righteous about the restrictions and "prejudices" placed on the breed. They never seem to acknowledge that the deaths are devastating and scar the victims' families for lives. Oh no, let's gather together and rant about how mean and uninformed society is. Plus our pitties are sooooo sweet and look at my girl's goober eyes! Yeah, I dare you to talk like that in front of a grieving mother whose child was torn to shreds by badly raised dogs. [/quote] I look upon pit bull owners the same way I look upon open carry people. It's pathetic. Both are using some external object to intimidate others. Pit Bulls are 2 percent of the American dog population but commit more than 70 percent of all attacks on humans. It's an incredibly dangerous breed. It should be outlawed like it is in many countries. If you own a pit bull, you are a horrible human being. Trashy. The kind of person that enjoys scaring people. Genuinely bad person[/quote] You are a simple person. Pit bulls are five different dog breeds not including the many mixes so there are a lot of " pit bulls" [b]The dogs that have attacked have been abused, neglected. [/b] Many years ago, other dog breeds were vilfied..German sheperds, Rottweilers, chows, etc. It is the humans fault, not the dog[/quote] This myth needs to die. Look at the family in TN where their 2 5k+ XL bullies raised by them from puppyhood in a nice home with nice parents got triggered and killed the two kids nd mauled the mom. There are a ton of stories of people thoughtfully raising puppies who, as they hit the "magic age" start to get aggressive and sometimes kill. Are these dogs the only dogs out there where genetics mean squat? They're just total blank slates and it's all in how you raise them? That's pretty remarkable. It's not true, but it would be remarkable if so. [/quote] [b]We're you living in their home? [/b] I cannot remark on this story but to condemn five different bully breeds because [b]a few attack[/b] seem wrong. Humans do way more damage on animals, humans and the environment than dogs do.[/quote] So, you're going to blame the Mom and Dad who raised these dogs and by all accounts adored them who had their babies torn to shreds? And slander them as animal abusers? You think they TAUGHT their dogs to kill their kids? Pit apologists are so classy. BTW, it's not "a few attacks," they happen almost daily, not even counting what they do to other animals. So yes, I will condemn them. What humans do to dogs is not relevant to this conversation. I believe in genetics. A retriever will generally retrieve. A pointer, will point. A herder? Well they will herd (maybe your kids!) A dog bred to fight other dogs and large animals in the pit to death, no matter what (gameness) will always have those genetics. Does it mean ALL? Well, no. Just like some retrievers don't actually like retrieving. Would I roll the dice that I'm going to get the one that won't fulfill it's genetic destiny? Hell no. One of the most frustrating things about you Pit people, BTW, is that you rarely seem to be [u]actual[/u] responsible owners of these breeds. People with Rottweilers, Pinschers, Akitas, Malinois, etc. generally KNOW they have powerful, dangerous dogs on their hands and they tend to train and treat them accordingly. They don't act like they're some kind of misunderstood dog that becomes harmless once you slap a pair of pajamas on them. That they're handed out for free and billed as this blank slate perfect family dog is basically criminal. [/quote]
