Here in Ontario, Pitt Bulls are banned. I do know a lady who has one though and it is a very well behaved dog. She even lets her young grandchildren play with it. I don't believe that it is actually the dog, but rather the owners who have created this situation. The problem being that there are so many irresponsible dog owners out there who refuse to keep their dogs controlled so they are not able to attack other small animals. I am aware that many breeds are also responsible for attacks, however the problem with the pitts is that their bite is so much more lethal.
I have seen many of those "sketchy" owners here who own the large breed dogs who beat them, and treat them very badly in order to make them more vicious. These low lifes use the dogs as a "tough guy" status as they obviously have some inferiority complex problems. |
