"Well by that estimation I outrank you, JR, so I'll vouch for the san man."
That's just stupid. He's been a member for less than two weeks, and you and I have been members going on five years, with you being registered a few months longer than I. Dumb is as dumb does.
"One comment you made earlier, something about "I know my dog has the potential to be dangerous but I'll keep it anyway" makes a point. What should you care if I choose to keep pits. As long as I keep them correctly, it's none of your beeswax."
The whole thing comes down to "correctly." It's always the same gap-toothed, blank-eyed, slack-jawed boob hanging over the porch rail, speaking into the TV news camera, saying, It was a good dog afore the sheriff done shot 'im. Never hurt nobody before till today...when he ripped off the neighbor boy's head."
All the "stats" in the world don't change a fundamental truth that you continue to deny: pits are far and away the most "hair-trigger" of all canines, known for instantly acting deadly, when they've never done that before. I really don't care if Yorkies bite more...if one of them gets onto my calf, I'll slap him off. If a pit bites my calf, he's likely to snap the bone or rend the flesh from it. Big dif.
But go ahead, keep up with your "pit bull rights." And I'll keep up with my second amendment rights, always ready to plug a pit bull right in the brain.
Y'all enjoy yourself.
Yep, I'm the big ol dumbass for picking the side of somebody who comes out with reports and documentation, rather than some hair-trigger ad hominem act with an invective agenda. Yeppers.

Sounds like a plan, JR. When you blow yer last fuse, one of us will be that slack-jawed hick saying "well he shore was a good ol boy afore the sheriff shotim..."
San, I'm sure you'll agree with me that I'll trust my pits sooner'd I'd trust many a human...
I have a neighbor who raises pits. She use to show them in pulling contests. She has a male and a female. She swears that pits have gotten a bum rap, that if they are raised and handled properly there won't be problems. She swears her's are the most gentle dogs you could want. BUT (I find this funny, but also telling, and to give her credit responsible). They are both ALWAYs in crates or tied out with "LOG CHAINS". Children (even her own son), are told to stay away from the dogs, and no other dogs are allowed around them.
I had to feed for her one time when she went on vacation. Everything went fine but I admit to being nervous, my husband went with me and took a gun. I think it hurt her feelings, she asked if I was nervous of her dogs, and I told her yes. Now she boards them at a vets when she goes, and I just have to feed the horses and other animals.
