Rottweiler, Mixed Breed Owners, German Shepherd owners...watch out, you're next....

It is patently IGNORANT to assume that dogs are killers by breed. Roll your eyes, CHILDREN, I don't care. Look at the stats in the link I posted. If dogs are killer by breed a lone, my HUSKY is a killer. I have a Rottie, too...which makes me the owner of TWO killer dogs. In fact, if anyone remembers, a POMERANIAN killed a baby a couple of years ago, which makes my mom's dog a killer breed.

Aggression and gameness can be characterized by breed, but not a kill drive.There are millions of dog bites a year...rarely resulting in fatality (I'm not exaggerating...I mean it--MILLIONS). Not that it matters to you smug folks who embrace that illogical leap from this story posted to "pitbulls are killers!!!" There are MILLIONS OF pits (sloppily bred pits to cautiously bred amstafs), Rotties, German Shepherds and mixed breeds in America. Again, no exaggeration--millions. And somehow there have been less than 300 fatal dog attacks in the past 20 years. Some of you people are like the idiots who want to take away my guns because some criminal shot up a courthouse with the same caliber I own. Or want to take away my guns because some kid accidently shot himself with his dad's handgun.

For godssake, most of you would never accept the argument you are using for dogs if we were talking about guns, would you?

I know that pits can be loyal and affectionate and they would defend you 'until the death'. It's just a question of whose death. And sure they can be snuggle bunnies and have their bellies rubbed and lie down right next to the baby, etc.

But for some strange reason, pits just seem to 'freak out' and go from snuggle bunny to crushing jaws in an instant. I really think there is something dangerously unstable in the breed. If you're going to own one, please live out in the woods and don't have children.

I've never had my neighbor's gun try to break through a fence to shoot me... When will you people admit that there is a difference between owning a dangerous dog and a gun. I can gaurantee the safety of my gun by locking it up. You can never fully gaurantee the safety of a pit bull.
