"They do have to be trained. Specifically, as soon as they are born they are deprived of food. The idea is that they get so hungry that they have to fight from birth when food becomes available. This can be done with any breed. I wish the MSM would report when other breeds commit these violent acts. It does happen just as often with other breeds. Dogs may be domesticated, but they are still animals."

Your comment is at best incompetent but more than likely intentionally misleading.

I am the owner of a pitbull (my second).

I appreciate the breed very much but the fact is that they are naturally and incomparably aggressive. Some more than others but it is simply the breeds instinct. They do not need to be trained to be aggressive.

It is my opinion that only people who are naturally themselves Alpha Male, should own one of these animals.

An owner must set down very strong guidelines for this animal, otherwise...there is a stronger than normal possibility for one of them to attack another animal or human being.

It just is what it is.

But I love mine and feel overwhelmingly confident in its ability to defend and protect me and my family.

They can be very sweet dogs.

FYI: A dangerous mix is having a female pitbull that belongs to an incompetent male owner.

As pitbull owner I must disagree. Maybe I am lucky, but I have never experienced this. The only time I see aggression is in the pitbulls that we rescue from fighting rings. We always have to put them down. It is actually very disturbing for me. We have had some bullied handed over by owners because they could no longer care for the dog. These people were not ready to be dog owners and did not realize that you just can't feed a dog and let it out when it whines. We have had great success with finding good homes for these pitbulls.
