(driftdriver-courtesy ping)
I am not defending pit bulls as a breed. I was responding to a statement made by driftdriver up-thread with a situation that is anecdotal, I realize.
Son’s friend did his research before getting the puppy. Not only the breed, but the breeder. I seriously doubt he would leave a pit bull alone with a child, hungry or not.
The bet is the kid has tattoos. Does he, doesn't he? Your answer is vital to my research on pit bull owners. Not only the breed, but the breeder.
By this time in "pit bull" history who the hell knows what a pit bull is and isn't. If it looks as if it got loose, it could rip a baby to shreds, and if it's chained to a broken down crack house in the 'hood, it's a frickin' pit bull. Of course, the obamasons breeding program churns out Rottweiler, Presa Canario, Dogo, Mastiff, Doberman hybrids further complicating matters. Anything to frighten whitey.
