Oh, there are 100s of these positive pitbull stories... how many do you want? 2 a night? 100 a night?

Anecdotes are just that.

Hows about some facts?

According to the Clifton study, pit bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes are responsible for 74% of attacks that were included in the study, 68% of the attacks upon children, 82% of the attacks upon adults, 65% of the deaths, and 68% of the maimings. In more than two-thirds of the cases included in the study, the life-threatening or fatal attack was apparently the first known dangerous behavior by the animal in question.

A it bull is a loaded gun when no one in the house knows gun control.

From a Clifton Study? Is that as reliable as a Al Gore climate study? Like a Pomeranian? Here are the facts from the same source: ■Any dog, treated harshly or trained to attack, may bite a person. Any dog can be turned into a dangerous dog. The owner or handler most often is responsible for making a dog into something dangerous. ■An irresponsible owner or dog handler might create a situation that places another person in danger by a dog, without the dog itself being dangerous, as in the case of the Pomeranian that killed the infant ■Any individual dog may be a good, loving pet, even though its breed is considered to be potentially dangerous. A responsible owner can win the love and respect of a dog, no matter its breed. One cannot look at an individual dog, recognize its breed, and then state whether or not it is going to attack.

Me’s think a certian “xxxxdumb” needs to get a bit smarter.

I thought you followed these threads closely,
have you not seen the information presented on Merrit Clifton and his “study”?
It has been posted many time on FR.
