James Harrison's Dog on Roids too

[hammertime]

The original topic of this thread was a pitt bull bit a 2yr. kid.

There is no other mention of any other dog. To stay on topic which is PITT BULL BITES 2 YR OLD KID.

Love your dog as you may, you are exposing anybody who has contact with him to possible harm. That is not a point which you can argue.

BLOODSPORT. BLOODSPORT. BLOODSPORT.

As nice a dog as it may be the PITT BULL WAS BREED FOR BLOODSPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I"LL say it again i hate to see any kid hurt by an adults ignorance. No matter what breed the dog is.

First off I started the topic so anyone here can talk about anything they want.

Second, you are dead wrong about the breeding of "Pit Bulls". They were originally breed to assist bringing down Bulls and baiting them after bullfights or general rounding up animals in Spain. The dog would tug on the ring in the bulls nose and the effect was calming on the bull. Hence pit BULL. Never were they breed to fight. It's that type of ignorance that gives them a bad name.

"Pit bulls" have superior physical and mental characteristics that make them excellent partners for responsible, active, and caring owners. These same outstanding qualities can, however, make them a little difficult to handle for people who don't have a lot of experience with dog ownership or for those who don't understand the breed well. Luckily, pit bulls are intelligent, very responsive to training, and, above all, eager to please. Therefore, "pit bulls" should be enrolled in obedience classes as soon as they are up-to-date on their shots.

”Pit bull” is NOT a breed. It's a generic term often used to describe all dogs with similar traits and characteristics known to the public as "pit bulls." When we use the term “pit bull” here, it should be understood to encompass American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, and Staffordshire Bull Terriers.

No one has answered the question why PIT BULLS are a banned breed and no other dogs are? (for the most part)

not all pits are bad, in fact the dog with the most attacks on people is the lab or retriever i believe

actually labs don't really attack people, they just bite everything. EVERYTHING. Sometimes people, but they don't mean anything bad by it, usually. My Lab tries to bite me all the time when I play with her. It's just what they do. She ate some broken glass last week too.

Pitbulls may not be #1 in attacks, but I'm pretty sure they're most likely to do serious injury. Not too many cocker spaniels rip the throat out of their human handlers.

The fact pitbulls are used as status symbols is pathetic.

EDIT: I should have said..."Not too many cocker spaniels have the capability to rip the throat out of their human handlers."

Sorry for the implication that that's what happened in this case.

I will say this again.

It's the owners responsibility to get it trained.
