I'm not saying that the abuse which is often inflicted on pit bulls in the process of training them to fight isn't a significant factor in the high number of attacks and serious injuries caused by these dogs. Psychologically disturbed dogs of any breed will obviously be more dangerous than non-disturbed dogs of the same breed.

But both psychological and physical factors combine to produce the total statistics for injuries/deaths inflicted by dogs. The reason pit bulls are the breed of choice for the sub-humans who engage in dog-fighting is their exceptional jaw strength. Certainly, other large dog breeds are capable of killing a human, but the amount of damage inflicted by a few bites will usually be much higher with a pit bull. The sub-humans know full well how lousy a "trained" German shepherd's chances are in a fight against a "trained" pit bull. That's why they stick to pit bulls, and occasionally Rottweilers and other short, broad jawed breeds and mixes.

I have no sympathy for the sick people who train dogs to fight -- if I was in charge of administering justice, they'd all be executed, ground up into dog food, and fed to their victims. But that doesn't change the PHYSICAL facts about pit bulls.

How do you know that is the reason "sub-humans" own Pit Bulls is because of their jaw strength? If you ask me why those people buy Pit Bulls, I would tell you after researching the matter that those people buy Pit Bulls because the media has portrayed them to be monsters (which couldn't be farther from the truth) and because they are cheap compared to other pure bred animals. They get the mistaken impression that Pit Bulls are mean dogs.... when they aren't. Sure they are strong, but they are generally less agressive to human's than most other breeds, period.

If you ban Pit Bulls, those same "sub-humans" will move on to another breed.... whose next? German Shepherd's? Rotties? Dobies? Should we just ban all of those breeds because there are going to be low-lifes that buy them and abuse them? If you look at the facts and figures, you will see that actually, Pit Bulls are not even first on the list of dogs that bight. Furthermore, They are practically tied with Rotties for dogs that have killed people. This is because Pit Bull's are the #1 breed owned by trash, and Rotties are the #2 breed owned by trash.... Punishing the breed of dog by making them illegal to own, will just mean that the same criminals will move on to another breed, and you will see just as many bights and killings if not more. Do you think we should ban every breed of dog that is capable of killing someone when abused or mistreated?

Believe me, after owning 2 German Shepherd's in my lifetime, I can tell you that the breed is way more agressive to people, way more protective, and very capable of seriously inguring or killing someone. Especially if as many people owned them. You have to be responsible with any of these breeds and make sure that you socialize them and train them, and spend AT LEAST 2 hours if not 4 or 5, like myself with your dog to make him/her a decent member of society so to speak.

None of us can help that there are bad people in the world that will train dogs to be mean and agressive. These people will never go away, but we can help to fight this issue by pushing for stricter laws against people that get caught abusing all animals, and by doing whatever we can to educate people on animals in general. A lot of people have the misconseption that you just go pick a puppy from the store or pound, and everything works out great. You need to research every trait the breed has and personality characteristics and become very educated on dog training. If you do that, your dog will be the perfect dog for your family no matter what. My dog fits my lifestyle perfectly. I wouldn't own any other breed, anyone who has met him LOVES him. Even people in my family or circle of friends that feared Pit Bulls at one point.

You know what I do to catch this trash? When people ask me if I want to fight my dog, I agree... and then turn them into the police. Buddy and I are attacking the problem, not dog.
