a LOT of people donnou the breed, really, and just comes out with ideas. The same way a yorkie that is not properly bred can show different temperament, same thing can happens to pits...the breed temperament itself should be very friendly with humans, that is one of the reasons pits are NOT good guard dogs. Now with animals, specially small animals, it brings out their hunting instinct, so yes, not all pits can live with other animals (even other pits).
Poeple have all the right not to like a certain breed, now to prohibit and KILL animals from this breed is out of questions. We have to respect, first of all...i agree with making all different kinds of requirements for your to have a pit, but not to kill a family pet who is not agressive at all, just because the breed is illigal?
Yes people, they just SHOOT those dogs. Even though the police denies, i see and know many cases that these dogs are not even euthanized, they are just SHOT.
One day my bfs neighbor went to a supermarket, there was a pit in the parking lot (just as a note, pitbulls are banned from Miami since 1989 if i am not mistaken...but there still a lot of pits here, the only thing it does is prevent these pits to get the proper training and veterinary care they deserve!) well, this puppy, walked into the supermarket, and he is about 7 months only...do you know what happened? People started running around screaming like crazy, it was like there was a bomb ready to explode...and it was just a hungry puppy trying to get some attention.
Thankfully a co-worker of mine, that lives in a neighbor city where pits are legal (broward county) took him in. That was the pit in the pictures with Mojo...and he couldn;t be sweeter
I am just so happy this little guy had a happy ending, and specially happy that i could help, after all they deserve it!!
