Pit bull attacks police horse in Golden Gate Park.

These dogs are vicious, and many of them snap. What would possess a normal dog to attack a friggin' horse??

The "Fort Woof Dog Park" in Fort Worth was just ranked as the number one dog park in the country, based on cleanliness, dog-friendliness, and safety.

Do you know why it's considered safe? Because pit bulls are banned, even on leashes!!

More and more people are on to this breed. Soon, they'll be classified as livestock or wild animals, and will only be allowed on wild game preserves.

Improper socialization, poor breeding, irresponsible owner, lack of exercise leading to boredom and frustration, there could be many reasons. I don't condone aggression in any breed. The owner let her dog off leash. I blame the owner and not the dog.

I am involved in organizing and sponsoring spay and neuter clinics in my state. I rescue dogs of all breeds. In my work as an animal trainer, I have recommended that an animal be put down. I just don't believe that banning a breed of dog based on the actions of a few makes much sense. I've lived long enough to understand that once it starts it won't stop at one breed. Germany can be used as an example. We disagree. That's life.
