[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem isn't the dogs. Its the irresponsible people who own them. No dog of any breed has any business running loose / unattended. Either manage them properly, or don't own them. [/quote]

I foster quite a bit and I've yet to have a pit or pit-mix NOT have some kind of aggression issue.  I'm fostering two pit-mixes right now and even at 8 weeks old, they are very aggressive.  One more than his brother, but both are more aggressive than any other breeds I've fostered.

Also, the group I foster through is hesitant to place pits or pit mixes with people who have young kids.

Have I met some sweet pit bulls?  Yeah, definitely.  However, even they had their aggression issues from time to time and had to be kept under a very close watch.  [/quote]

Why on earth would you foster these dogs, and why on earth would any group try to place these dogs? So what if they're not placed with people who have young kids? Do you think that mitigates the risk to young kids -- or any other people -- out and about in the world where these dogs will be?

I think it's horrifying that people are so pro-life for dogs that they won't make a rational decision to euthanize dogs -- and puppies -- that are aggressive. [/quote]
