I live in New York City and we have been hearing about this for a while. You can be sure that things the city governments want to do or change are usually very bad ideas. Example: The Olympics in NYC, come on. No one really wants that. This is the same, everyone thinks it is a stupid idea. |
Ok so here is my minor rant. I am appologizing in advance. Here in Oklahoma a little boys arm was chewed off by 4 Pits this month he had to have from the shoulder down amputated i feel horrible for this boy but dont blame the breed specifically and dont blame the owner because before being told to he put his dogs down. However this is the stupidist idea i have ever heard of i mean out of the mouths of Animal Control officers around here pits half 1/2 the hold time of normal dogs before they are put down because they do tend to be "Aggressive" if it looks like a pit its a pit no matter what you call it. |
This is the silliest thing I have heard. I say just leave their name alone! Most definitely nothing compared to a Yorkie. |
That is totally ridiculous! Could we email the person who came up with this idea? I don't mean to offend anyone, but I do not like pit bulls...glad there is a ban in our city and they aren't allowed. To call them yorkies...that should not be allowed. I can't understand how they can do that. If they must change the name, then pick one that isn't already a breed! |
That is just idiotic. Do they really think that is going to cure the problem. I mean i like pit bulls and it is not thier fault that they are raised the way the are but come on. So then maybe we should rename manson to snow white and release him cause then he wouldnt be a maniac. |

Pit bulls can be too dangerous. They defiently do not need to be confused with something as delicate as a yorkie. I like your names junebug. Bronx terrier- thats a good one. |
There has been over 10 pit bull attacks in the San Francisco area in the past month. Just about every night when I watch the news there is a new story. Here is a story on the front page of the SF Chronicle this morning. Five pit bulls remained under quarantine Tuesday following separate attacks in which children and other dogs were bitten, authorities said. All of the incidents occurred within an hour of each other Monday and were the latest in a string of such attacks seen in the Bay Area in recent weeks.

OMG!! That is the stupiest thing that Ive ever heard. If we all started calling Roses farts they would still smell good right? Well calling a Pitt Bull a Yorkie will not make the breed or their rep any more intriguing. Not that I hate Pitt Bulls, their just scary!! I think some people need brain transplants!! :rolleyes: lmao!! |

Once a pitbull always a pitbull... no matter what ya call it! Same goes for a Yorkie! :D |
I agree. That is a very dumb idea. Hopefully NY Yorkie owners will fight that one. NY is hoping, by changing the name, that more Pit Bulls will get adopted. If that happens, then there is just going to be more Pit Bull attacks. Most owners of a Pit Bull haven't got a clue how to train one. They believe that the Pit Bull gives them some kind of power image. I don't believe I have ever read of a YORKIE attack on people. Ankles, maybe !! :rolleyes: |
