Bingo! And lest we forget, PBs are being bred by the most unscrupulous breeders on the face of the Earth to be as aggressive as possible.
The sweet ones are fed to the aggressive ones or are abandoned. The aggressive ones are allowed to grow up, fight, and breed offspring animals that share the same traits.
What we’re left with are animals that are not representative of the breed at all.
Pits can be as sweet, loyal and trustworthy as any breed out there - IF we can rescue them from the human scum who are breeding them, raising them, buying and selling them, training them and abusing them into becoming fighting dogs.
I wonder if people really believe that if Pit Bulls were banned tomorrow or exterminated, the dog fight crowd wouldn’t turn its attention to another breed and ruin it in the public’s mind, too?
Pit Bulls should be known as the most abused dog breed, not the most vicious. imo
Well said, LibWhacker.
I used to think that it was the owners and not the breed. Then the year-old dog of a couple who had lovingly raised the dog from a pup suddenly turned on the wife who was sitting on the couch with the dog. The husband had to shoot it while its jaws were still clamped onto the wife’s arm.
There ARE plenty of people who mistreat this breed and train them to be mean, but I think there is something within the breed too.
Well said!
