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 don't know if I all the way agree with them being innately vicious. I know that many Pitbulls are, but I wonder if that is in the breeding and raising? Mental issues in the dog that have been carried down through generations? I always have had mixed feelings, because I think there are some beautiful Pits around. Then again, I don't know if I would feel that comfortable with them being around my Yorkie. We, as humans, know not to provoke a dog, especially a Pit. I don't know if our little Yorkie babies will know not to. If they make the Pit mad, we all know who will lose that fight.
