>>How fortunate to have such a wonderful dog breed.<<
Yes, and child rapists sometimes save people from liquor store robberies.
The numbers say that pit bulls are a menace to everyone around them — family as well as others.
Oh, there are 100s of these positive pitbull stories... how many do you want? 2 a night? 100 a night?
That’s what they say about guns too.
Shame on you!!! Do you make your mind up on your own or do you let everyone tell you what to think and believe?! If you want to listen to facts check all of them before you condemn one breed based on what the humans in thier lives have taught them! Dogs are like children, they wan to please thier masters! They desperately want to make us proud and happy! And pits (if you read the akc description if the Pitts nature) are even more desperate to please than most dogs. Pits are loving companions, yes they were bred a long time ago for aggression, to other animals, namely dogs and bulls. But of one of them showed aggression towards a human they were immediately put down and not bred as the handlers didn’t want the dog to turn on them I they were trying to break up a fight. Pits are cruelly misjudged because we have thugs and other bad sorts buying these dogs and abusing the fuck out of them and as a result, yes they become aggresive. But that isn’t just pits, any dog can become vicious if mistreated. Also in temperment testing Pitts actually score higher than that of a common family pet, like a golden retriever. Have you ever seen pits with children? I have, in fact I own a pit and she is the sweetest thing ever! She loves cuddles and kisses and even te vet says there isn’t an aggresive bone in her body. Pits are actually widely known for loving people, of all sorts. My baby, Hazel, has never met a stranger in her life, she loves on everyone! So please! Before you shun and condemn an entire breed spend some time with one, check all of your facts and do your research before you make an opinion!
Not only that but if you wanna talk about mean and aggresive dogs lets talk about mean and aggresive dogs: chihuahuas. They are the meanest and most aggresive dogs I have ever come across. But nobody reads stories about chihuahuas attacking children even though it happens frequently. Why? Because it doesn’t sell. The media only posts the stories about pits because fear sells and pits are powerful dogs. And out of all te reporte dog attacks only half of the dogs that are liste as pit are actually even pit. Tere are many breeds that share certain characteristics with the pit. Great Danes, boxers, bulldogs, etc, so many dogs are mistaken for being a pit by the person attacked simply because try were attacked by them and because they might look like a pit they assume. Even animal experts say it is nearly impossible to 100% determine if a dog has pit in them. And because of this not only are pits getting a bad rap, but there are other good dogs that, under the BSL legislation, many would like to see exterminated completely, like German shepards. Yes they are on the list of “bully breed” dogs. As are Great Danes, boxers, Akitas, huskies, bulldogs, and many other great dogs.
