I own a Pit Bull and he is a very nice well-behaves dog. I realize that there are instances were the breed has attacked people, but that should not be used to condemn the entire breed. It is usually the result ofpoor training and irresponsible ownership. Any type of dof can attack a child. Large dog breeds do the most damage. The media sensationalizes Pit Bull attacks and ignores the story when another type of dog is involved in a vicious attack. The media also reports Pit Bull attacks when it is actually other breeds. This happened in San Francisco when the woman was mauled to death by another breed of dog. This is bs media sensationlism. How many kids were harmed from violence, drugs, and other real problems today.
My sons dog, a German shorthaired pointer, the gentlest breed of dog around, bit at my grandsons face once but although it looked unprovoked, it turned out ( he was 3 years old), he had gotten curious about the dogs privates and grabbed him and the dog reacted. I am not saying this child did that but it may have done something to the dog.
Bull Mastiff actually... still a bulldog...
"The media sensationalizes Pit Bull attacks and ignores the story when another type of dog is involved in a vicious attack."
I'm in court all the time and I see several dog bite cases come through where people are really hurt. Our city attorney says about ninety percent of those cases involve pit bulls. I don't know if that is exactly right, but I know from what I have seen that it has to be pretty close. Pit bulls are just dangerous animals. No doubt some are great dogs, but I sure as heck wouldn't own one and I'd rather there were none in my neighborhood.
You are such a pathetic apologist.
You have managed to invoke virtually every cliche that comes up in these threads--all in one post!

Statistically, pit bulls ARE the most dangerous dog in the country. In what state do you and your cuddly child-mauler live--Denial?
