[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scariest thing is not just the pit bulls, but their owners' insistence of how sweet, gentle and good with chidren these dogs are, even in the face of facts and statistics.

The pp with the dobermans is far less cary because that person is not deluding herself about the risks of the breed and takes reasonable precautions.

There is a guy in our neighborhood who I have seen twice walking his "gentle" pitbull on the sidewalks by the elementary school just as it is letting out.  His arrogance and stupidity makes my blood run cold.[/quote]

What facts?

Yes. Some statistics were copied and pasted (and we still haven't seen the actual source). Sources about pitbulls surpassing other breeds in temperament testing was also posted. Sources disputing the myth that pitbulls have greater jaw strength then other breeds and can lock their jaws were also posted.

Stereotypes and myths and media reports does not mean an entire breed of dogs is inherently evil. Just like stereotypes and myths and media reports does not mean an entire race of humans is evil. Tomato, tomato. Bad owners = bad dogs. Breed =/= bad dog.

You should never leave any animal alone with a child or blindly assume that everything will be fine. And you need to train kids as well as the dogs. But again, pitbulls who bite do not bite because they are pitbulls. They bite due to poor training (bad owners). [/quote]
