Because if I leave the gate open on a couple Labrador retrievers they would be out in the street in seconds all OVER that 70 year old lady.... sniffing her and trying to get her to pet them.
If you have a caged beast that is ready and ABLE to kill the second it gets out...... no, couldn't be the breed.
After all, it isn't like dogs have personalities to go with their intended function.... Oh wait THEY DO!
Dogs bred to fight and kill..... fight and kill. Pits were bred to fight and kill.
And your source for this is...Oh, wait! The MEDIA!! Of course - and we ALL know how trustworthy THEIR information is!!! How about a little scientific evidence to go with that?? No?? Hmm...why am I NOT surprised!!?? OK - I’ll help you out with a few FACTS: HISTORICALLY, pits were the “nanny dogs” - staying with children. Has their nature changed so much since then?? No evidence of it.
And here’s another FYI - rotties, chows, and dobes have ALL been subject to the same “RUN FOR YOUR LIVES. IT’S A VICIOUS ____________ (fill in the blank with the latest whipping post breed of dog.)” As for Labs, you are comparing apples with oranges since a Lab also isn’t a “guarding” type of dog... However, if we must go down this path: Have you ever seen a poodle or chow or any other breed of dog bite someone? Of course!! Which re-emphasizes my point: RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP is KEY — not killing off a politically-incorrect type of dog because the owners/parents/breeders can’t seem to handle some of them. ANY DOG needs responsible ownership. This is EVEN MORE SO when dealing with a powerful guard-type dog. It’s really not that complicated an issue.
Agreed, I am all for wiping out the breed entirely and hope I live to see the day when it happens.
