They were a horrible human errors in breeding and they all need to be neutered or spayed -- putting an end to the cruelty that was started by man. I know I will hear that the casualties are human fault -- and I agree. But people cannot be trusted to always keep these animals away from children and small animals. If they are to continue, they should have the same restrictions as other wild, dangerous beasts. People are not allowed to keep a lion or a tiger in a residential area, and I think the same would apply. JMO. |
I agree. These dogs were bred to be aggressive. I've read too many times about the sweetest little pit bull, who had been perfect all his life, and then upon seeing another dog or child act vulnerable, he attacts. Leaving him outside all the time wouldn't seem to help with his socialization either. People are always talking about training, but it's very difficult to train against instinct. All you can do is reduce the number of aggessive acts not totally eliminate them. Aren't there other "manly" dogs your husband likes? How about some power tools?
