Urgh. I really can't be bothered with this. It's one thing having my threads locked and being threatened with a ban when all I'm doing is expressing my personal opinion and quite another when I'm being consistently denigrated or misunderstood. If my views are that upsetting to you, please don't bother to respond. I've been perfectly fair and reasonable in everything that I've said
I couldn't honestly care less what people say a pit bull is. In truth, anyone with a pair of eyes, can determine a bull terrier type. Any terrier/mastiff hybrid that was designed for bull baiting and then further bred for aggression is a dangerous dog and should be eliminated as a breed for the simple reason that they are hardwired to attack other dogs and that makes them a serious threat to human beings for any number of reasons: both physically and pyschologically (as the topic of this thread has proven). This does not include terriers as a group or mastiffs as a group (with the exception of those mastiffs used as baiters and not herd dogs). This covers any dog and it's cross from the American Pit Bull, Staffordshire Bull Terrier right through to the English Mastiff, Presa Canaria, Dogue de Bordeaux, Napoleonic Mastiff and the Dogo Argentia. I am not talking about the traditional mastiff breeds (such as the English Bull Dog or Boxer) or their crosses. I really hope that's clear. If you think I'm such an awful person for being pro BSL legislation, then that's up to you but I really have researched a lot on this subject and this is my opinion and I'm sticking to it |
