I have seen pitbulls that are very sweet but like I said it takes alot of love and companionship once these dogs attack someone for them to stay in the same enviorment where the behavior was learned sickens me, its not the dogs fault, but it is still a behavior that is learned from where that dog lives, there is no bad dogs only bad people who unfortunatly teach them these behaviors. I not only have stories about pit bulls this goes for all breeds, pitbulls through my experience can do alot of damage because of their strength. Any dog that bites has learned this from somewhere. For the neighbors to be able to continue keeping these dogs after they have attacked a child that sickens me! Until you walk a mile in my shoes don't be to quick to judge, Ive seen things that you cant even imagine in your wildest dreams! People are the most in human animals on the earth! They prove it to me everyday! And whats the chance these dogs wont attack again can you gaurantee they wont attack again, why should we take that chance for a dogs second chance! Ruin a life or end one, Im sorry thats not a chance I am willing to take and to compare people with dogs is absurd! Like I said no bad dogs just bad PEOPLE! |
I would like to toss my opinion into this debate
The reason that Pitbulls are so dangerous is their lineage. I have read a lot and learned a lot on this forum. I've read many posts in the breeders forum from RESPECTED breeders and they always speak of how you need to know generations back in the dogs lines. This is not only true from a Yorkshire Terrier but ANY dog that is being breed. They look at these things for color, coat, size, TEMPERAMENT...etc. So if reputable breeders are breeding for the good of the breed, disreputable breeders are breeding for just the opposite. They are bred for their strength, power and aggression in dogs like Pit bulls. Many (not all) are bred to be fighting dogs. We have a lot of very sick people out there going horrific things like dog fighting and they are doing this to WIN!
Sadly, this type of breeding has been going on with the bully breed for so long now that IMO the breed has become forever ruined. It is just like when I hear people speak of how people are looking for smaller and smaller yorkies. They are not being bred to standard because of the demands of the public. This argument can also be carried over to this debate as well.
I hear outrage all the time about BYBer and breeding ethics. It makes me stop and ask about the breeding ethics of the owners of these vicious dogs as well. In truth, it really is about taking responsibility for your actions. The BYBer and puppymill many times breed sick dogs without care or concern and only the money in their pocket. The Pit Bull breeder breeds for aggression and the money in their pocket. It is all very irresponsible and disgusting to me.
