Calm down T.J. i'm not trying to pick a fight with you, all i'm saying is that I believe you have probably read about a few incidents & I don't doubt that they were horrible & possibly fatal. But I do not believe for a minute that you can honestly tell me that you have read hundreds of articles about pit-bull attacks. I live in Georgia where the English bull dog (UGA's mascot) & Pit bull dogs are abundant, I haven't read more than 2 or 3 attacks in the U.S. period much less Georgia. By the way I don't think that people in Urban areas should have these dogs because of the possiblity of what happened to the Child there in Chicago. But that doesn't mean that there are those of us responsible enough to keep our dogs in check, in my case a bad dog regardless of the breed would be shot the first time it snapped at me or my family.

That is where almost all of the fatal attacks happen. The laws for keeping other dangerous animals are also relaxed in rural areas. Wild game farms and private zoos come to mind.

Sometimes these dogs turn on their masters, which although rare, happens. I have personally seen that with a great dane. It was ugly.

Exactly. If it chases and kills my chickens or any other livestock, it will receive the death penalty also.
