Exactly. Again, only speaking of my personal experience but the vast majority of bad pit owners are also shit parents. Their kids are constantly in harm's way, with or without a potentially vicious dog in the mix.

I like most dogs much better than most people. People are selfish, idiotic, greedy, etc. Yeah, some dogs are assholes, but most are great. Yell at someone when you leave work today and see how they treat you tomorrow. Yell at your dog when you leave the house and see the difference when you get home.

Teehee

I have always been against this breed of dog, but I got a chance to know a great one. He was a rescue dog and prior to that he was a bait dog. His lips had been basically removed. He always looked like he was smiling. The more I was around him my feelings about pit bulls was challenged. He was such an awesome dog. He was white and weighed about 120lbs. He was the calmest most perfect pet/friend you could have. He would make such the perfect circle with his blanket when he slept under it (always). He was such a great dog. He was probably the greatest lap dog anyone could have. I am still not a fan of pit bulls, but Diesel was a great dog. I miss him a lot, he was my son-in-laws dog. Every time I was around Diesel, I always made sure he received most of my attention. I think the dog has to have a great owner for the chance to be a great pet. I hate pet owners that just chain them up or mistreat them in any way. If you can’t let the animal be part of your family, you really don’t need the pet. RIP Diesel I miss you tons.

Working dogs were bred to work
Herding dogs were bred to herd
Sporting dogs were bred to sport
Pit Bulls were bred to-

exterminate vermin. That is what terriers were bred for.

Especially effective at squaring up on vermin like this.

Enough with these stupid dogs.

Take care of the ones that are already alive. But ban breeding them immediately.

Seriously, how many people are we going to let these things kill?

420

Ban all dogs

So many heartbreaking stories.

Pittbulls kill 2 year old and 5 month old
 

My sister finally got rid of hers (it was a mix) after it started getting aggressive with their other dog and in general becoming erratic. Would have only taken one instance of that aggressive behavior on one of the little kids to have a bad outcome. Glad they didn’t shrug it off and say “its one of the good ones and just needs more attention!”

There are no bad dogs, only bad dog owners.

One thing that many do not do is train themselves to know how to control their dogs. Without structure, dogs will assume they are the leader of the pack. They also humanize their animals thinking they understand language. Pit Bulls are seen as a status symbol by many owners, they are tough guys because they have the bad ass dog.

I had an 85lb Dalmation; he was pretty much uncontrollable. I took myself and him to dog school; it wasn't easy and sometimes wasn't fun however the dog and person that came out of that school had a new respect for each other and I had a dog that wouldn't run away if the door was left open.

No one ever believes their dog could do something like that; they need to remember that this is an animal and not a person, they can and will behave like animals.

Well, yeah but when a Yorkie gets pissed off it’s not a killing machine.
