[My Dog Likes Me]

In my neck of the woods (Alabama) we had a pitbull attack and kill a grandmother who was raking leaves. She had been "minding" the dog for either her son or grandson for several days before the attack.

I was surprised at local media coverage here afterwards. Experts were beating that "nature versus nurture" drum immediately. The pitbull just wasn't raised right??!! Give me a break. Why don't collies attack and kill people on a regular basis? I think pitbulls should be banned.

They're just, by nature, killer animals.
