I may be the only one but I dont think its the breed of pit bulls thats bad...it all comes down to the way they are raised. I have grown up around pits ALL my life...whether it was my dads pit or my uncles, or my cousin, or my grandparents, lol...yes we have all had them. lol....but you get the idea...I grew up around pits..basically raised with them and we NEVER had one ever try to bite us or anyone else and the only thing the dog ever killed were squeaky toys. Lol. We showered them with love and affection and they all turned out to be the best dogs. However...you get people who buy them and shove them in a cage all their life not letting them have enough exercise and attention or if they do something wrong..instead of calmly correcting them..they hit them and yell at them...then yea...That dog is gonna grow up and be your worst enemy or just wait until it can get away from you and tear up the first thing that comes into its field of vision. They can be mean but its all in the way their owner raised them. Im not trying to cause a congflict I just disagree with what people think of pits and feel obligated to share my story in defense for the breed...not for the dog that attacked the horse..but for the breed. So please dont act like they are terrible breeds that need to be done away with...its the crappy way people treat animals that needs to be done away with...Vick...man raping dog...come on..that is disgusting and disturbing! We need more of us YTers to own animals! :animal36

I am sorry the horse was injured. But what kind of life had the dog had? His owner came over and shot it! He could have had him put to sleep. The dog was probably not trained or loved. I could not shoot one of my dogs for any reason. There are no bad breeds just bad OWNERS! I hope the horse has a speedy recovery.

The dogs owner shot him right there....:eek: I could never own a mean dog because there would be no way I could shoot one.....but I am glad he did, I guess, because that could have ended up worse then it did.

We have a friend that has a huge rott (HUGE) that she has had forever, but he is MEAN! They have him in a cage with a cage (or pen)...it is a huge cement slab w/ a wrought iron cage and then another wrought iron fence around that....She said that has he has gotten older, he has gotten meaner (is that a word :cool:) and she just can't bear the thought of putting him down! :eek: Well, if you can't even love on your dog or let him out w/o the worry of him attacking someone, why have him around??? --course, I have never been in that position (and won't ever be)...be really!
