| ah... the famous pit bull debate. I think we all agree that the owner is responsible for how a pit bull's personality will be (for the most part). SO! I think that it should be required to have a special lisence to own one. Last edited by Epsilon; 04-29-2008 at 12:56 PM. Reason: using iPhone... So I had a lot of grammar errors I didn't notice. |

| I do agree good training can help a pit bull but it's aggressive behavior in it's back ground can show it's ugly head at any time. The 12 yr old that was killed her in Akron was from a family pet that had always been gentle. Those that have them and trying hard to train them certainly love their pets as much or maybe more than we do but because they seem so easy going for a good part of the time, they put their guard down. I don't know what the answer is but something more does have to be done.

I have heard sooooo many stories of how pit bulls are raised "right" and still going and attacking a child or an adult or even another animal! These animals were breed for meaness ect. and at any time they can snap and do snap and at least other dogs you have the chance to unlock there jaws from you or your child and that is not going to happen with a pit bull!

| I dont agree that the owner is responsible for how a pit bulls personality will be I think all pit bulls have it in them to be killers, and attackers and have the ability to snap at ANY moment!

Donating YT 11K Club Member | I am so sorry about Dior, I hope you find the pitbull's owner. They should have had him on a leash. Where were you exactly? In Manhattan?

I agree with you completely. A yorkie bite and a pitt bite are too totally different things. I have had this same argument with people several times. If they are the same then a garden lizard and and alligator have the same bite.

I agree, they are killers! If they weren't then why isn't there an interest to try and take Labs or say.. Australian Shepards and train them for the "fighting ring"..because they aren't natural born killers like Pit Bulls are...I am for doing away with this breed altogether..theres been too many generations of these trained to kill and I know that brings up the "enviroment verses genetic" reasoning...I think its both...its just a dangerous breed..

My Little Man! Donating Member | I am so sorry for your friends loss. Pitbull had to be leashed thats the law in NY. It sad to see that wrong people have this breed. I think pitbulls are good dogs but the wrong influence from the owner create different behavior in a dog. On the top of that only responsible owner should own this breed but it is sad to see most of the times it is not the case.

In so far as the pitbull a lot will depend on whether the owner is found. If the owner if found then really a lot will then depend on whether he has ever attacked before etc. In NJ when an attack occurs animal control by law is called and notified. Who is the person that was walking the dog? Are you certain that she or he is not the owner and just b.s. ing to cover their own butt? There is really no way of knowing this for sure but I think she can be held liable as well since she was the one in control of the dog at the time of the attack. It may be worth having a free consult with a good attorney. You can also sue for your injuries and you because you are a person and not an animal are entitled to pain, suffering, emotional distress from YOUR INJURY not emotional distress in seeing your dog injured. You have to make sure that you say you were tramatized from the bite you sustained. If you say you were tramitized by watching your Yorkie being attacked all you will get is it's unfortunate but... blah blah blah. I'm really sorry for your friend and I wish her all the best.
