I don't hate any breed, but I think it is absurd for pit bull advocates to portray them as the gentlest and least dangerous dogs in the world and then point fingers at chihuahuas. If people can't be realistic about a particular dog breed, then I don't think they should have those dogs.
The man who was killed recently in his home by his two pits in my town, there are many conspiracy theories floating around about him too. Pit bull advocates claim the coroner is lying, the police are incompetent, and all kinds of silly things. |
I totally agree. A lot of Pit Bull owners on other boards can't stand a lot of these "Pit Bull activists" because it makes it worse for them. Like, responsible Pit owners DON'T take their dogs to the dog park. They have a very high tendancy to be dog aggressive. Then when a fight breaks out and the Pit kills a dog -- there's another Pit ruined in the media. It's the ones who are like "oh they are just like any other dog - it's the way you raise them!" who help ruin things for the breed. With owning such a powerful breed comes great responsibility.
