I said this on another thread and I'm saying it here. Pit Bulls are mankillers. That is how they are listed under dogs along with several other breeds. They are listed like this because they have the ABILITY to kill a human being. Alot of people speak in favor of them but that doesn't negate the fact they can kill. I know alot about Pit Bulls , but all I really have to know is that they have to ABILITY to kill a human whether they do or not.
Chihuahuas are not listed as man killers, they are listed as a toy breed. Alot of them are obnoxious, but they do not kill humans.
I am a dog lover, I have six dogs. A few years ago my daughter brought home a pit bull and we took the advice of so many and treated him with ultra kindness, he was our baby. We held him on our lap until he was so big it was impossible. We kissed him, hugged him, he was a valued member of our family. Then one night about 7:00 pm, I sent my grandson to the back yard for something. "Butch" evidently did not recognize him, attacked and tore off his ear partially. So I know for a fact that pit bulls can attack without provocation. He was put down, its a shame, but these dogs are just
not suitable for pets for families with young children. One other story, I use to visit someone in my church who had small children.
They bought a rottweiler. I said, you shouldn't have that dog with your baby. Its just not safe. They laughed, told me with kind
care that dog would be a great pet. They said I didn't know what I was tahking about. I said ok, maybe I don't. (rottweilers are listed as mankillers also) A few months later as I was visiting again, I noticed the dog was gone. So I asked where is he. They said we got rid of him cause he tried to eat the baby. I didn't say a word, but it is a foolhardy person that will put his/her child at risk with these animals. They are guardians, they attack, they are not pets for the novice. No matter how kind you are they still have the propensity to attack and they can still kill.
