Sorry if this makes me unpopular, but I am tired of hearing how they are great dogs, if they are so great why are they the ones named in all these attacks?
I love animals and it isn't their fault this has happened but it has and now it has to stop. |
Pit's ARE great dogs... Like you said, they were bred for fighting and were mistreated by humans - THEREFORE HUMANS needs to be blamed - not the dogs!
My ex-husbands father bred pitbulls and they are the friendliest, most loyal dogs I have seen (until now that I have my Yorkie). But yes, I used to be scared sh*tless of pitbulls.. NOT because I have been attacked by one or any of my family or closest friends, BUT because of the stories on the news about attacks.
ANY ANIMAL - treated the way some HUMANS treated pitbulls for fighting WILL be very dangerous - regardless of its size. Only reason why a pit causes so much damage because they are very strong dogs!

A well-raised pit bull of proper temperament is the most loyal and loving dog in the world, bar none. "
