I have yet to grasp why anyone needs a pit bull. You can have any dog you want, but why must it be a pit bull, or a dogo? why a dog bred specifically to hunt and bite and be impervious to pain when in attack mode? why choose a dog thats going to turn off 1`/2 your neighbors? born with a bad rap and a worse breeding program? .. don't flame me about how great of a dog they are. because there are 1000’s of dogs that are every bit what a pit bull is without the nasty breeding past. And don't talk about “it's the owners because 99% of pit bull owners DON'T CONTROL THEIR DOG!. explain in simple terms why you want a pit bull over any other dog . A simple question, why? They offer nothing you can't get from many other breeds...

I’m not discussing Pittys. I’m discussing the hate and vulgarity that fills these threads. Most of the really nasty stuff is spewed by the Pitty haters at other people.

Love the dogs, hate the dogs. But act like civilized adults. This is the last of these threads I will participate in. I will no longer tolerate the vileness that pervades them. I don’t take that crap from liberals and I damn sure won’t take it from ersatz conservatives.

Over all, even in other topics I see the deterioration of basic common courtesy on FR. If it wasn’t such a good clearinghouse of information I think I would just not bother anymore.

For the record, I don’t own a Pitty, I’ve worked with them as rescues and probably know more about them than most of the participants in these threads. But if I did own one (yes, I happen to like them), I would see no need to justify it to you or anyone else.

I will not respond to anything else in this thread. I have had my say.
