In after the "kill the breed" canuckle heads. It's not the breed, it's a individual animal that did this and "it" should be put down not the breed.
“””...how the dog is treated and what the dog is taught, determines how he acts or reacts.
It’s not the breed, it’s a individual animal....””
Do you say the same on all of those ‘child mauled by poodle’ threads?
Oh wait. There aren’t any. Wonder why that is?
Until you train a Yorkie to hunt pheasant, or Shi Tzu to tree a coon, your comments are meaningless.
Why do search and rescue teams use bloodhounds? Because they are bred for it.
Why do duck hunters use Labrador Retrievers? Because they are bred for it.
The AKC would sure be amazed at your contention that breeding means nothing.
“Not the breeds fault’ they keep saying, again, and again, and again...
(1) When a Pit Bull "misbehaves" the owner should be arrested and jailed.
(2) The owner and the Pit Bull shall share the same cell.
(3) Neither the pooch nor the owner shall be fed for 90 days.
(4) At the end of that 90 days, whichever of the 2 cellmates survives should be immediately euthanized.
The Pit Bull controversy is very dangerous ground politically. You see, if a particular breed of dog is found to be genetically disposed to attack, it is very likely that some particular breeds of humans might be genetically disposed to anti-societal acts. God knows, we ain't goin' tbere. Can't have that. No Sirree, Bob! As a breed (WTF knows what a "Pit Bull is, anymore?) Pit Bulls are not the most aggressive, not the most likely to bite. However, they have very dangerous equipment and do fearsome damage. Like Malemutes in Alaska, they should never, NEVER be loose. Like Malemutes in Alaska, a loose Pit Bull should be a dead Pit Bull. Period.
It's not the breed, it's a individual animal that did this and "it" should be put down not the breed.
Yup, dog lover, your heart' is in a good place. But, you need a course in insurance underwriting. Before that, that, type "Pit Bull" into the FReep search menu.
