(403 posts)I don't blame my childhood incident at all for my dislike of pitbulls and their owners. You seem to be the one doing that.
Pitbulls are the "assault weapons" of dogs. Their proponents will find 18 reasons for why they should not be or can not be classified as something different than other breeds. But the argument doesn't pass the smell test and their proliferation is neither good for our society nor a tribute to the quality of our people.
I realize that most pitbull owners fall into one of two categories: horrible people who like to menace those around them and animal lovers who refuse to believe anything bad about a doggie. I understand that the pit bull people frequenting this forum most likely fall into the latter category. But don't fool yourself into thinking most pit bull owners are buying them because they feel they are misunderstood. Most pit bull owners are buying them because they can kill people and they like walking around with a weapon on a leash.
