I'm not trying to start an argument on the bad breed or bad owners....but in our area there have been as many as ten recent (maybe more... it's hard to keep count) instances of pit bulls attacking either children, other animals, and in one instance, an elderly lady. The children were brutually attacked, the animals all died as did the lady. ALL of the pit bulls involved were, quoting the owners,..loving, family pets. Two of the pit bulls jumped privacy fences to get to their victims....one of which was a yorkie sitting INSIDE her sun room. That one destroyed a door to get to her....ate his way through it.

I agree mean owners make mean dogs, but I am leary of pit bulls. The only breed in our area that has attacked anything has been pit bulls...having them contained hasn't even stopped 3 of them in this area. One instance was two pits involved in attacking another animal.

Needless to say our area is one that pushing for legislation. And if it were my pet, or family member who'd be attacked, I'd certainly endorse it....it's happened here too, too many times. The legislation that you must keep your pets contained, or restained, just isn't working......
