Uncle Tony tried to warn everybody.

 

Oh I get it, this is because I'm upset they are killing the pit bulls.

I really dont care about the dead animals anymore then if they stacked people like you two up in big piles. Now if a terrorist did it then I might care..

In general there are way to many stupid laws protecting stupid people. You should always be able to protect you and yours. The police aren't your answer to being safe you are. Laws while sometimes helpful aren't going to mean much to people who dont care what the law is.

Pretty much while it sucks and is unfortunate attacks happen I dont think banning a breed is the way to fix it.
Way more out of control attacks performed by say blacks,arabs,skinnys, ect people then pits. No bans in place yet really.


Btw I didnt respond real fast because I wasnt paying much attention.

 

I bet street racers kill more women, children, cripples, nuns, etc, then all the pitbulls combined. I think they should start banning all aftermarket modifications to cars because modified cars are more prone to be used in street racing, therefore we should target the whole population instead of gearing legislation to handle those that can not handle their freedom responsibly.

Is there a difference to the logic?

 

Don't be judgmental of dogs you don't know.....

Search and rescue dogs, flying disc champions, pet therapy miracle workers. When we think of these special dogs, our minds usually imagine the lovable Lab, the agile border collie, the comforting golden retriever. Most people usually don't picture the American pit bull terrier (pit bull) in such a positive light. Let's face it, if a play was being cast, a pit bull would be a shoe-in for the role of the villain.

How did a dog that was the most popular breed in the United States in the beginning of the 20th century, known as the nanny dog with children, get such a bad reputation? We have all heard "there are no bad dogs, just bad owners." Enter the wrong people with the wrong intentions. Admirable qualities such as strength, loyalty, courage and eagerness to please can be very attractive to people looking to turn these traits into something dangerous.

The nanny dog now is portrayed as a breed to fear and, according to some towns and cities, should be banned. Lately breed bans and breed specific legislation (BSL) have been debated in the local news. Neighboring towns have considered laws against the ownership of particular breeds and those that resembling a particular breed. Pit bulls are usually the prime target of such laws. Under BSL all dogs of this breed category or appearance would be considered dangerous and illegal to own or highly restricted, sometimes requiring owners to have fences, muzzle their dogs on walks and purchase high amounts of liability insurance.

Yes, some dogs are dangerous, but we need to look beyond the breed and to the cause of such aggression. According to the National Canine Research Council, studies have shown that 90 percent of fatal dog attacks are by unaltered dogs, and chained dogs are almost three times more likely to become aggressive. Chaining or tethering for extended periods of time denies dogs of the companionship and socialization that is crucial to a well-adjusted dog. Behind every dog attack is a story we don't hear. Sadly, pit bulls are often neglected and abused. Shouldn't we focus on laws that would protect all dogs and people such as anti-tethering, leash laws, and mandatory spay and neuter?

American pit bull terrier statistics would surprise the public who seem to get only reports of the bad news The American Temperament Test Society has tested 122 dog breeds on stability, shyness and aggressiveness. Out of those 122 breeds, the American pit bull terrier has the fourth-highest passing rate overall. This means that they score higher than the Bichon Frise, Portuguese water dog or German shepherd, to name a few.

Shouldn't we be teaching our children lessons of fairness and compassion versus profiling and discrimination, which leads to banning entire breeds of dogs based on the acts of a few? Let's all learn about Dakota, the search and rescue dog; Wallace the flying disc champion; or Berkeley, a local therapy dog working miracles with struggling young readers. They are all very special dogs and, yes, all pit bulls.

 

Yes we can!

Seriously though no. We dont need more laws we already have more then enough. Mandatory nothing. Why should I have to do anything like this? Because some other assholes mistreated dog had a crime of passion?!

Lessons of fairness? Dude really wake up. Life isnt fair and thats not going to change. I'd rather teach a child to be tough and smart, because it isn't fair and never will be. You really want your kids to have a fair shot then equip them with some mental weapons.

 

I'm not gonna bother reading all the bullshit on here , but I am gonna say this . There are no bad dogs , just bad owners. Ive never had anything but pits , Ive had 9 of then and have 3 still. I wouldnt trust any other dog around my little girls , I dont care what kind of dog it is. if its not mine I dont know how good it is . Ive NEVER had a problem. But just about everyone I know who has some other kind of dog has been bitten.I gaurantee you i have total control of mine ,not only verbally but with hand signals. And trust me , that took a lot of work. If a dog bites someone , it's because the owner didnt put in the work, BOTTOM LINE. All dogs can bite some one , the pit just has a harder bite. A pit is like a gun , and youve probably heard this , but guns dont kill people , people kill people. Its much easier to put the blame on the dog than the owner. Ill put any amount of money on this , any kid can take my dogs food from them while they're eating it. How many of you can say that about your dog?

 

+1. Hell, my dog sleeps in the same damn bed as me. I've never woken up with any gashes, lacerations, scrapes - just a big, funny looking, underbite filled pit mix next to me.

 

True story! My son was feeding our Patterdale Terrier one day and went to pet him while he was eating. The darn dog turned around a bit him on the face. He has a nice little scar now because of it. BUT....The dog was punished, and trained, and now doesn't even look at anyone funny when they mess with his food.

It was OUR fault for not training him or seeing the warning signs. Not the dogs fault for doing what it had to do when it lived on the streets. (We got him as a stray)

 

Exactly. It took my parents and I multiple years to act around our dog the way we do now. She was abused by previous owners, so God only knows what's messed up in her head.

 

What?

A Pitbull is a dog with a frame built for killing. Its a dog. As in, a lower lifeform. Sure, its domesticated, but its still an animal with its own free will and its own potental to snap. A gun is a tool that cannot do anything without input from the shared_user. Comparing the two is inaccurate at the very least.
