Pit Bull haters are not IN-sensitive!

[BaxtersMommy]

Again, you made the assumption we were going to debate. I simply said, I cant stand the dogs and you cant trust em. Nothing wrong with that. Next thing I know, people are quoting me, thumbs down and saying I lack compassion.

I have stayed out of the YT drama, but this clearly ticked me off because the comments were unneccesary. I said my peace here.

there was nothing wrong with what you (or I) said. once again, people who have no dog in the race (all pun intended) want to stir the pot. don't worry, it's a hobby for some.

unless the OP comes out and complains - what's the problem? even if that had happened, i don't know that i would feel it was insensitive, but it would make a difference. that didn't happen.

I don't know who you are aiming this thread too but I do feel it's important to get some things out there for guests and other members who come and read this thread. Knowledge is key, and it's always good to learn new things.

There are dog statistics done every year by the ATT (American Temperament Test Society). Anything above 80% is good. APBT got 84.3% last year. Collies got 53.3%, Chihuahua 70.3%, and the list goes on. Now I'm not stupid enough to realize that these dogs can certainly not do as much damage as a Pit or any other strong breed. Clearly they are strong dogs with a lot of power. Who made them that way? Humans!!! Humans created this breed, and now humans want to destroy them.

I also want to point out that a "Pit Bull" is actually not a breed. There are many different kinds of them, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire, etc. So it's not really fair when people name "Pit Bull" as #1 most aggressive breed. It doesn't make for fair statisics. Besides the fact that thousands of people are bitten by small dogs but I'm sure it goes unreported. The most important thing to know is that when they were bred in Europe, before coming to the US they were bred to fight. When a dog was born with a human aggression gene it was killed. They bred the dog to have animal aggression not human aggression. They make the best pets for young children and families. This is fact.

These dogs do NOT have a a knack for turning on their owners for NO reason. There are owners who get attacked for failing to properly train their puppies from day one. There are warning signs that most dogs give, and pits are no different.


Totally agree with this for ANY dog!

Also, did you Goldens have moved far up on the bite list? I think they're #3. Bad breeding, inbreeding and other humans have screwed up that breed for us as well. Friendly family dog is now one of the top biters. Way to go humans!

For every fact toward a breed you can find one that is different. Just like some Yorkies act like vicious little attack dogs, and others are so loving and cuddly. Yorkies are known for being yappy annoying little dogs, yes some live up to the name, but others do not. So who is right and who is wrong?

Yes all dogs need to be on a leash. When I see a dog running at my dogs when we are walking I'm afraid... but yes when it's a large dog I'm very afraid.

But we have ruined so many breeds just to make them look different or to make them as small as they can and this is now the result, dogs with bad attitudes or dogs now with health problems.

I'm not even believing this. The OP may have been a little busy these past couple of days attending to her son...remember the son she had requested prayer for?

So, as long as you don't feel something is insensitive, then it's okay? Perhaps you should check into to "sensitivity training".

She actually did say she was offended by the YT'er who questioned why she was on YT posting about it.

I honestly think any normal person would not be a fan of a pit when it hurt someone. Just give it up! You continually pointing fingers is not helping. It is over with.

Who said I was a fan of pits? Not once in these threads have I voiced my opinion of the breed - which, if you care to know is that, I'm NOT a fan of the breed at all! My only point/opinion was and remains - A persons prayer request thread is not the place for a debate on the breed.

I wasnt referring to you, but the OP. It is one thing to say we dislike a dog that attacked her son and another to question her for WHY she was posting on YT. That was a direct hit to her and she was upset & let it be known on the thread.

I think I got your point awhile ago.

Next we can compare the Presa to the Fila to the Boerbel. There are good and bad in all breeds. Naturally the small breeds do a lot less damage, but I have seen a few 4 pound dogs that I would not want to run up against if they weighed 130 pounds. This thread is getting old, and nothing now is being accomplished. Everyone has their own opinion. I have made mine known, and that is my story and I am sticking to it!

I agree. Why I asked that it be closed.
