I am willing to bet these dogs were never properly trained as you would any other breed. people who leave their dogs in situations that makes them aggressive desire it as they want to scare off potential threats. I am seriously sorry for what happened to this man, and I pray for his recovery as much as is possible based on his injuries.
But I am not surprised at the poster, once again the gratuitous Norski and his I hate Pit Bulls thread and his followers who would gladly kill them all. Norski and his steaming hatred, you must be a barrel of fun at family gatherings
I could stay and fence with you about this crusade you are on and there are thousands of others who would flush this thread like a toilet with opposing views. There are bad dogs to be sure, but not across the board as a breed as you constantly posit. Even Police Departments are using Pit Bulls as service dogs, but you insist that your mission is to kill them all
And please, I don’t need to see your “statistics” or travel to your site and give you hits
Go ahead, roll around in your hatred and vitriol, it will take you down some day
Sad, very sad
And I would rescue a Pit Bull any day, each dog is different and I have been around many different breeds and never been attacked, all the way up to Cane Corso Mastiffs an many others
In my opinion it is the owner, not the dog virtually every time
Good for you, so can I get you to come to Albuquerque and adopted the 200 to 250 pit and pit mixes to keep them out of the hands on well meaning amateurs and felonious criminals? And oh you will need to do this every couple of months? Also I am sure there are just as many up for adoption across America.

True, but I do not believe you meant to tell the truth. The owner of a dog is ultimately responsible for the actions of the dog he owns. A large part of the problem is that the owners are lying about these dogs, to themselves and everyone else. Norski.

“. . .Due to selective breeding for the purposes of dogfighting, pit bulls are highly dog-aggressive. This aggression is not limited to dogs; pit bulls frequently kill other companion pets and domesticated animals.
Leading pit bull education websites warn pit bull owners to, “Never trust your pit bull not to fight.” These same websites also state that pit bulls should never be left alone with another dog or animal.
The practical and moral question is: Why is “pit bull dog aggression” tolerated at all?” . . .(excerpted)
