Yes. I too am getting tired of these endless breed-hatred threads... For a site which is supposed to be so “media-savvy”, there are a lot of Freepers here who seem blind to the manipulation they are being subjected to. Google how many simple “dog attacks” there are without any mention of the breed. (You may assume these are NOT attributed to “pit bulls” but were attacks by another type or breed of dog.) I am absolutely ASTONISHED that those who are so zealous of their liberties elsewhere want the government to “outlaw” certain types of animal-ownership. These are liberty-loving conservatives....?????? Or just those who want the government to tell them what to do and how to do it???? Irony indeed!!

Great post JLLH.

The other thing about the story of pits that supposedly “snapped” is that the owners have a legal interest in portraying the dog that way because many states have laws that base liability on a dog’s known past viscousness. So if a dog has no past history of viscousness there is no liability for negligence and no question of insurance coverage. So no person would admit to anything but an unpredictable “snap.”
