and what about the safety of other people's kids, dogs, and animals as well?
it never ceases to amaze me how volatile people get in defense of these dogs.. they actually turn it into something like a race issue... "don't practice breed discrimination"... uhh, yeah, right. i WILL practice breed discrimination, thank you.
the fact is that yes, humans have obviously bred these dogs into monsters, and they still do.. but whoever's fault it is, the fact remains- that these dogs are dangerous. and i want to slap anyone who says "oh it all depends on how you raise them". . just because your darling little pitty-poo sleeps in your baby's crib and is the sweetest thing ever, doesn't mean that 90% of pit bulls, as a general rule, are not potential psycho killers who will snap at the slightest provocation (or, sometimes none!) and do serious damage to an innocent and unsuspecting victim.
i have heard too many stories of pits who were lovingly raised FROM BIRTH who suddenly snap and go berzerk on another dog (even ones who are their best buddy, who they live with)- or a person-- for NO reason... and cause far more damage than other dogs could do.
and you cannot depend on "education" to save this breed. because there are too many thugs, wanna-be thugs, drug-dealers, white trash jimbos, rebels, outlaws, wiggers, and other assorted idiots with a chip on their shoulder against society who want to have these dogs and act like the world is against both of them (hhmm... wonder why?). but unfortunately there are also many intelligent, cultured dog rescue folks who love pits too... who are only contrinuting to the problem, IMO, by perepuating LIES about the breed (that they're not dangerous, it's how you raise them, it's just the evil media making them look bad, their jaws DON'T lock, etc.. all these are outight lies... love alone can't cure everything.)
come on people,, there are so many OTHER fantastic dogs out there to choose from.. why on earth choose a pit bull?? why do you want the trouble?
