I would never be so arrogant, as the owners of Pit Bulls are ,when they proclaim "It's not the dog, it's the owner".

We have been very bad shepherds of God's creatures, we have bred viciousness into dogs.

We have also fine tuned the breeding of hunting dogs, working dogs, and companion dogs.

Show me a retriever that you have to teach to retrieve or a terrier that WILL retreive. These animals do these things because they have been bred to do so and it's in their DNA.
A German short haired pointer never needs pointing lessons, the dog just points!

I have owned several different breeds of dogs in my life and they all possessed predictable breed traits.
Having said that, I know ALL dogs bite, but Pit Bulls, well Pit Bulls are fined honed biting machines.

Pit Bulls are bred to maim and kill and attack. They have been bred to do this for hundreds of years, it runs deep deep deep in their DNA.

They have no place in a civilized society. They are banned in the UK.

The folks who delude themselves and keep them in their homes as pets are dealing with some control issues they should examine deeply.

Michael Vick is the other spectrum of Pit Bull owner, he is an animal torturer, his issues are unspeakable.

Why do I care about this?

I unfortunately have first hand knowledge of the viciousness of Pit Bulls and the subsequent arrogance of their owners.

An animal is an animal and to assume you know what it is thinking would be disasterous mistake especially when a child is involved.

Cross the street when you see one, tell your children how dangerous they are and never, ever trust that the owner has that dog under his or her control.

If you are asked to sign legislation to ban Pit Bulls , do it. Because their aggressive owners are highly organized and fight these bills vigorously.

Don't bother to harrass me with emails to the contrary, I will ignore all you Pit Bull owners and NOT publish your rants. I've seen how you've conducted yourselves on forums and your emails are threatening , crude, and attack oriented, just like the very animals you defend.

Pit Bulls are responsible for 1/3 of the overall dog bites a year. Wake up a smell the statistics.

This is not a debate for me, it's an absolute.

whats sad is i like pit bulls. There are a few i know that have good temperment. The even worse part is what are we going to do now? It be inhuman to just simply put them all down. *shug( maybe we should just stop breeding them and hope they have good lives and let their type of breed die out =[

Who said anything about putting them all down?

And whoever wrote that has no knowledge on the breed at all, either. To a pathetic degree.

Too bad that essay is full of shit.
There is absolutely no solid statistic on the number of dog bites per breed a year. None.

And whoever wrote that has no knowledge on the breed at all, either. To a pathetic degree.

I fully agree. Anyone who could write this essay does not know a thing about the breed or dogs in general.

"Show me a terrier that will retrieve."

I have one.

"A retriever that you have to teach to retrieve."

I have one of those too. He doesn't like retrieving and he also hates water with a passion.

I hate stupid people.
