Pit Bulls: What's the appeal?

why will she love me

chihuahuas are the worst in my experience for being aggressive bitey beasts. and not only are they nasty, they are also ugly. sorry, chihuahua fans.

I am a bitey beast too

ugh that some of the opinions in that article are dumb - if pit bulls are banned, do they think that the kind of ppl who train/breed them to be so aggressive will also magically disappear?? no, they'll just use other dog breeds instead.

yeah but other breeds a re weak and can be kicked away

german shepherds? dobermans?

Pits and bulldogs do have disproportionately strong bites/jaws, and a style of bite that clamps and grinds, instead of being a quick slash with teeth or some other kind. I'm not sure one is "better" or "worse", though.

yeah, they are a victim of their own genetics in a lot of ways. i just wish there was more focus on the owners of vicious dogs.

Or that the vicious dogs have changed breeds over the decades as social trends have mutated. Hell, the switch from dobermans to rottweilers to pitties only tool, what, 15 years?

It's like even the rate that assholes ccycle thru fad breeds has accelerated along with everything else.

right after the dogs killed the cat, the owner - a common or garden variety guido douchebag, as far as i could tell - started punching them pit bull on the head with a closed fist and screaming "YOU ARE SUCH FUCKING BAD DOGS"

no wonder, right?

hmmm poor editing but i think you could tell what happened.

dude is just repeating what his father and god did to him; i feel bad for the dogs

i just wish there was more focus on the owners of vicious dogs.

There will be, that child being killed by the pitty (it ran, unprovoked, into a house, chased 2 children, and mauled a tiny girl to death in the face, I mean jesus) has sparked a new law that means owners of such dogs will, if it kills anyone, be charged with manslaughter.

(so I heard this morning anyway)

tbh i felt bad for all involved forks but most of all for the kitty

Hmm, I remember when Sassy reviewed candy and junk food, someone wrote "Fritos smell like dogs."

this is great, if true imho.

This seems to suggest its on the cards - they have passed the law just this week also that all suspected pits have to be regustered as dangerous, proved otherwise, or destroyed which is p full on:

All dangerous restricted-breed dogs will need to be registered in Victoria by September 29 or council officers will have the power to seize and destroy the dog, under changes announced by the Baillieu government.

i'm pretty sure if i saw someone trying to take my dog to use as a bait dog i could feel justified in beating him with a hammer.

I say lets breed all pit bulls with toy poddles so the result is a "useless" dog - they have them all eat dog fight theives

Hey,

I'm a Police Officer in Baltimore City. I am originally from Wilkes-Barre, and I am a fan of your organization and Pit Bulls. Today I received a call while on duty about a vicious dog chasing kids. When I came on the scene, I noticed people yelling out their windows at the dog. I followed the dog into an ally to see how it was acting. Going on my own approach, being a dog lover, I got out of my car and called the "vicious dog" over to me. The dog came over with it's tail between it's legs and panting. I grabbed my water bottle and the dog sat down next to me and began licking my pants. I started giving the dog water. I brought the dog over and waited for the pound to show up. My partner was not a fan of dogs and was startled by my approach. I suggested to him that this dog cannot be put down, and should be taken to a shelter. We took it upon ourselves to take the dog to the shelter, and transported it in the back seat in the back of our patrol car. Then I decided that I wanted to keep the dog, and spoke to the shelter about the steps to take to adopt it. The dog was originally kept outside and was filthy, and now it just might have a new home. I know you like positive pictures so I have attached a few. Have a great day and keep up the good work!
