Couldn't have said it better myself. Great point about the racism! I like to use that analogy myself. So many people claim to be animal lovers, or dog lovers, but if your a dog lover wouldn't you understand that it's not always the animals fault? Also, more people are breeding pitbulls to be vicious dogs. Of course, when more pits are being trained this way, won't more end up like this? If all yorkie owners were training their yorkies to bite, then yorkies would be "the problem". It can happen to any breed, and for some reason the pitbull was chosen. Instead of banning pitbulls, I think the government should have laws regaurding screening people who want to purchase dogs. Maybe have proper training required, or things on the lines of that. So many dogs end up in the wrong hands, and they turn vicious or end up in shelters and on doggy death row. I think this should go along with stricter laws for breeding, there should be stricter laws for pet owners too.

| These dogs are one of the most vicious dog breeds ever recorded. They have killed children and even adults. |

| The difference between pit bulls and toy dogs are much different. Pit bulls are bred to handle bulls. Their jaws are like a vice grips. One serious bite they can kill you or definitely a small child. They can rip a persons arm off with just a twist if they want. |

Yeah because they are ALOT stronger than yorkies. It's like asking who could kick your a** harder, a small child or a grown up weight lifter? Hmmm...let me think about this, this is a hard one ya know! So of course if a yorkie attacks someone, and a pitbull attacks someone, chances are the pitbull would do more damage because of the strength. Not just because the dog wants to do more damage. Yorkies were bred to KILL rats, not just handle them, but to KILL them. And some yorkies can be mean too. Any dog breed can have mean dogs. I know a lot of people who think smaller dogs are all mean nasty little dogs. Would you agree with them? Do you think it's fair that because a few small dogs are nippy that it's right to give every small dog a bad rap for it? In my life, I have met more mean small dogs then mean larger dogs, but I'm not going to be idiotic and naive about it and say "oh well I guess all small dogs are mean" And BTW, a pitbulls jaw is no different from any other canine jaw either.

| Rae Rae I am a complete animal lover. I dont have it out for pit bulls. I am sure there are some nice pitbulls. But the breed is recorded with the most killings and attacks of people in the history of the dog breeds. You are right too. Yorkies were originally bred to kill rats or any kind of rodent. .........But a rodent and a bull are two different animals. One outweighs the other by several hundred pounds. How many yorkies have you heard of mauling, or killing babies or adult people? |

And like I already asked you, who would be able to kick someones a** more...a small childer, or an adult weight lifter? It's common sense as to why pitbulls can "do more damage". So I guess strong people are bad too then huh? Or people who own guns or any other weapon are bad because they can do more damage also? A mean dog is a mean dog, no matter what the size or how much damage they can physically do. I'm positive that if yorkies were the same size as pitbulls, the mean ones would do the same amount of damage. And if pitbulls were 15lb dogs then they probably wouldnt be able to kill a person. And of course, if a pitbull was bred to handle a bull, it has to be larger! a smaller dog (what were yorkies...30lbs originally?) would get stepped on! As for pitbulls having the most attacks in history..I don't know if I would believe that. As I research, I'm coming up with sites saying they are the most, then sites saying that they arent. Other sites are saying how it's the pitbulls turn or whatever. Before it was dobermains, now it's pitbulls. Who knows what will be the "fighting craze" 10yrs from now. And you have to keep in mind, you cannot trust everything you read in the media. Of course the news is going to focus on pitbull attacks more than anything else. There's such a controversy over these poor dogs, it's going to get more readers and watchers and listeners. Also the whole nation is starting to hate these dogs. I'm sure some of the pitbull haters are also in the news business and have control over what's going out there. Media lies through their teeth at every chance they get, and they'll write anything for a good story, no matter how immoral or untrue it is.
