In reply to the discussion: We DID PITT BULLS BEFORE! [View all]Wait Wut
(8,492 posts)27. I wish more people would do the research.
Every dog needs different types of training. Pitties need socialization, just like Shepherds, Rotties, etc.
I've had dogs my whole life. German shepherds, mutts, a wolf hybrid...the pitties were the most affectionate. Tough to get anything done when you have a 60lb pit bull in your lap.
I know how you feel. My last one was my last. I can't even bear to look at pics of him.

Do you know who Trained or Owned the Pit Bulls you've come in contact with, though?

I suspect that's why "pits" are blamed for a disproportionate number of attacks.

I think it's a mistake to demonize them and a mistake to not acknowledge that they can be dangerous.

DogsBite.org is a scam. It's run by one person named Colleen Lynn, and she makes her money

DogsBite.org is not truthful. It promotes genocide & sensationalizes vary rare events

So are you finally backing off your accusation that they steal money from victims?

There is no "they" at DogsBite. SHE dosn't steal money directly from victims - I never said she did.

The blog you lifted that from (unattributed, I'll add) is out of date and not telling whole picture.

I have an aversion to legislation based on bullshit propaganda. A breed-neutral approach is the way

Enforcing laws that work takes fewer resources than trying to enforce laws that don't work.

What are you claiming - that all these breeds can just "turn off" their instincts?

You do realize the entire case you're supporting against Pit Bulls is a straw man argument, right?

Do you have any arguments other than personal attacks on those you disagree with?

There is a reason for this bumper sticker I saw on the back of a pickup truck, too: Pit Bull Inside.

Nowhere does your post specify the forum as a whole rather than me. And aggressive? Project much?
