Let's kill all the pit bulls

You are right on the money. Every last one on the face of the earth should be killed. Make 'em extinct.

I hear reports about deaths from gunshot wounds all the time too, do you suggest we take away everyone's gun? (Sorry couldn't resist)

I'm not saying that there isn't inherited aggressive behavior in pit bulls, but I think the bigger problem is people who raise them to be attack dogs. Mastiffs, dobermans, rottweilers (sp?) and bulldogs all have aggressive tendencies but people aren't training them to be attack dogs, or for dog fighting on the same scale of pit bulls. People like Mike Vick are the problem, not the breed of dog.

Personally I prefer border collies and black labs myself.

I don't think an outright ban is the solution. I think the problem has been uncontrolled breeding mainly for the aggressive and ruthless traits needed for drug dealer gaurd dogs and/or dog fighting. These traits have also bled into dogs who haven't received such training and aren't kept for that purpose. As a result, all those dogs out there kept as family pets with unknown pedigrees can be the product of any number of lines of fighting dogs. As such they are all potentially ticking time bombs.

For all those people who love pit bulls and have kept them as pets without incident for years, I don't want to see the breed die out. I think the solution is to outlaw their breeding by anyone except licensed and responsible breeders who would have to agree to certain standards and practices in order to get that license. On the other hand, I would make it illegal, effective immediately, to own a pit bull who has not been sterilized. Punishments could range from heavy fines to confiscation and mandatory spaying or neutering before the returm of the animals. All aggressive dogs kept for such traits would be banned and if necessary destroyed upon investigation by the authorities who would be empowered to do so based only on citizen complaint rather than waiting for such animals to kill or maim first.

This kind of law would not only allow only responsible breeding (sales and registration would only be allowed again once the bad traits had been bred out. If it takes decades then so be it) it would end the breeding of aggressive dogs and eliminate immediately the ones most likely to attack.

I'm thinking mandatory prison terms and loss for life of the right of an owner or anyone in his/her household to own one of these dogs if the dog ever harms someone. Put the faces of the owners of pit bulls who injure others on the front page. Journalistic coverage could make the trials high-profile. That sort of thing. The pleaders for these dogs should have no problem with laws of this sort because they are such fine, careful people and their dogs are just dears. But the social exposure for those who have pit bulls who do such harm should be very high. The victims of their dogs appear disproptionately to be children and elderly people.

PS. Eventually, it would be illegal to own an unregistered pit bull without a pedigree from a licensed breeder.

Outlawing pit bulls is not comparable to outlawing guns. A gun will not, of its own volition, race out an open door and attack a little girl. Pit bulls can, do, and have.

I like Peggy's solution, but I would add strict requirements that pit bull owners keep them in secure cages and be subject to felony prosecution if the dog attacks anyone.

Chris,

Problem with the argument is that your guns don't take a walk on its own. Aggressive dogs can escape and harm others.

Someone mentioned Golden Retrievers... I have met several insane goldens, too. Now mind you I don't believe in killing them all, but you must realize that dogs are animals. They are not people.

Finally I had to put my 15 year old Border Collie Mix down six weeks ago. He was getting aggressive toward the neighborhood kids, and to my 18 month old son. I loved my Dog, but I love my son more.

We now have another boarder collie mix and he is a love. But if he goes aggressive on the kids, you will bet that I will not hesitate to have him put down too.

Oh please Loudon. Not that I necessarily agree with Rod's plea, but what function do pit bulls serve that other breeds do not?

I'm of the opinion that owing a dog should be akin to owning a gun, and someone who owes a dog that harms people should be treated the same as someone who'd left a machine gun laying on a kitchen table with the safety off and it went off and sprayed the neighborhood kids.

There are dangerous and less-dangerous dogs and guns, and there are responsible owners of both sorts of both things. Sadly, while the irresponsible dangerous gun owner tends to end up in prison, the irresponsible dangerous dog owner just has their dog killed.

I think all dangerous dogs near other human beings should, frankly, be found and the owners notified that they cannot keep a dog like that. I think going by breed isn't the way to go...the way to go is simply open up the cage, let them off the lease, and see if they bite a test person. The concept of 'breed' is iffy in the first place and training is just as important as genetics, so let's just wait until someone complains about an overly aggressive dog and then see if it will actually attack someone.

Ditto DavidTC
Liberty of ownership means liability for your private property.

When we lived in Germany, owners had to keep 'em leashed and muzzled. When you're out with an animal looking like Hannibal Lector, folks soon associate the kind of dog with the kind of owner: pimp, ethnic gang members and other shady businessmen, who use their "moveable asset" to intimidate "clients."

"(Bundes-)Gesetz zur Bekämpfung gefährlicher Hunde (Anti-aggressive canines Federal Law) applies to Pitbull Terriers, Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers as well as to crossbreedings" and bans import of such dogs (even for vacations) and for registered owners, mandates muzzles for public spaces.

advice to travellers at http://www.germanembassy.org.au/en/informations/service/MB%20Einfuhr%20Haustiere%20engl.pdf"

My caveat: first we ought enforce the laws we already have:

"The Canadian city of Calgary, which had a problem with dangerous dogs in the eighties, halved aggressive incidents through strict licensing enforcement: it let officials keep computerized records of complaints against individual dogs and impound them or require them to wear a muzzle if they posed a clear threat to the public. Eighty percent of Calgary's 100,000 dogs now have licenses; 90 percent of New York's 1 million dogs don't. The city should step up licensing enforcement."

And for municiple taxpayers, another consideration:

"Pit bulls are also wreaking havoc on the city's public property. As Manhattan Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe observes, "Some pit-bull owners train their animals to fight by having them lock their jaws on rubber swings in children's playgrounds, which very quickly destroys the swings." The cost to taxpayers: $250,000 annually. "Perhaps more ominously," Benepe adds, "these owners have started to use young trees to train the pit bulls."

quoted in www_city-journal_org/html/9_2_scared_of_pit.html

And for the pet lovers, remember just how lethal these wild creatures really are:

• A Pit Bull bite is three times worse than a Rottweilers.


• A Rottweilers has 800psi (Pounds Per Square Inch Jaw Pressure)


• A Bull Terrier has 1200psi,


• A Pit Bull’s bite force is 2000+ psi plus.


• A Pit Bull does not lock its jaw as do other dogs, but its lower jaw scissors back and forth to rend flesh from the bone.

Children are not the only ones at risk. In our area (southeast Michigan), pit bulls attacked and killed an older man taking a walk on his rural road. In the same community, some pit bulls got out and killed a pet horse. The county humane society is considering a policy to euthanize any pit bull that comes to the shelter (they are worried, of course, about liability). My neighbor is a backyard breeder of pit bulls, so there are always 2-8 pit bulls around. They are usually tied up, and I haven't seen any aggression from them, but I am very nervous about letting our kids play in our own fenced yard. I have no doubt that the dogs could get into our yard if they were motivated.

So, yeah, I hate pit bulls, but if the breed is banned then the folks who breed them for their aggressive tendencies will just move on to corrupt some other breed.

Perhaps we can round up all the pits and all the homosexuals and put them together. The most aggressive pits will help cull the gay population and all the rest will get to enjoy that hot man on animal action you're so worried that gay marriage will lead too.

Rod, could you actually pick out pit breeds from look-alikes?

Kill these dogs, I live in a inner city neighborhood where the ownership of these monsters seems to require a room temperature I.Q. Some hero should wander down alleys flicking poisoned meat over fences and sliding muffled .45's through fences and blasting away. Pit bulls are trash and usually so are their owners.Thankfully my city is getting aggressive about confiscating and euthanizing them, and requiring owners to carry insurance.A dead pit-bull, is the best pit-bull.

Scott, Labs definitely can and have inflicted serious damages. Locally, we had one that took part of the face off a child in an unprovoked attack. Many of the smaller breeds are nasty fear biters. There are no 'safe' breeds per se. 'Safe' dogs, but not breeds.

The argument that it's not the breed won't cut it...However, the canine pal trotting beside the head-shaven, tatted up, car on blocks tweaker is always, always a Pit Bull. Gee, why would the speed-addled and criminal invariably want a Pit Bull? Maybe it's something about the breed?

You seem to be in a catch-22 with those statements. I will agree, they, like any other working bred dog are very high energy, they feed off their owners energy.

What a strange set of priorities our governing class has. They will ban smoking just about everywhere using the slimmest of evidence about the purported dangers of second-hand smoke. But when a real menace to our health and safety emerges, namely the epidemic of pit bull attacks, they have nothing to say.

I love dogs, and I hate to condemn an entire breed; but pit bulls seem to attract the very worst sorts of dog owners and dog breeders.

ANY dog can be a danger, if it is not properly socialized and trained. A poorly-bred, unsocialized, untrained, unloved Labrador retriever who is kept chained in a yard with no opportunity to play will likely become a nasty, aggressive dog as well. However, the sort of people who want a Labrador retriever are usually not the same people who want a vicious guard dog. I've seen pit bull pups advertised as "Extra Vicious!" so clearly the breeders are not targeting those in the market for a gentle family pet.

I certainly agree that little lap dogs are often the most foul-tempered beasts around -- but an eight-pound Chihuahua is a lot easier to control than a sixty-five pound pit bull.

There are aggressive, bad-tempered dogs in every breed, especially in the popular (and thus over-bred) breeds like Goldens. However, bad temperment is a lot more likely with a breed like pit bulls who have been bred specifically for aggression (traditionally, they were bred for aggression only towards other dogs as befits fighters, but in recent years they have been bred by idiot breeders for human aggression as well) as well as being very insensitive to pain. It takes a LOT of socialization and a very experienced, dominant owner to create a well-trained, well-behaved pit bull -- whereas a dog that has been bred for gentleness and non-aggressiveness like a golden retriever, beagle, etc., is a lot easier to train and socialize, even for a novice. An poorly-trained beagle, for example, is likely to steal food, ransack trashcans, howl, and be a general nuisance, but they are very seldom vicious.

I do know some very responsible pit bull owners, who socialize their dogs well, train them and exercise them; but I have also seen even well-trained, well-socialized pit bulls get nasty in circumstances where most dogs wouldn't. I do not allow my dog (a beagle/coonhound mix) to play with pits and I don't like my kids to pet them, either.

Buster Brown's dog Tag, Petey from The Little Rascals, The RCA dag Nipper were all American Staffordshire Terriers, aka Pit Bulls. These dogs can be found in many photographs from the 1850's through the 1950's with children. These dogs were nicknamed "nanny dogs" because of that. When the breed was brought to the American frontier they were highly valued for their protective qualities. They have one of the lowest innate tendencies to attack humans of all dog breeds.

If you take away these dogs from their owners they will change back to Dobermans or find some other breed like the Irish Wolfhound. Heaven help us if these owners find out about the Catahoula. That is the toughest, scrappiest, meanest dog on the planet. The Spanish Conquistaroes war dogs, genetically similar to the Dalmation, bred with the native american dogs to produce this breed. They might not have the psi bite of a Pit, but they are smart and nasty and fearless.

Once again, a bunch of liberals who cannot see the root of the problem. You guys are just a bunch of hatin racists actin like the man who wants to take away one of the simple pleasures of life for the socially downtrodden, like makin babies.

As a triathlete who spends a lot of time out on the open road on my bike or running, I hate all dogs who are not on a leash or in a fenced yard. I think all dogs who cannot take the command "sit" on cue should be euthanized. All dogs can be trained to be good citizens. If you own a dog who cannot walk next to you on heel through a park, then you should be trained to learn how to train your dog to do so. Guess what the #1 dog for dog bites is.....Cocker Spaniel. My son has a scar on his neck from an attack from a .......Lab. I have a scar on my butt from an attack as a young boy from a ......Poodle.

Yes, I cannot deal with those people who get a dog, don't bother to train it at all, and then dump it at the shelter because it jumps up, barks too much, chews, poops in the house, chases cars, etc.

I also have a huge problem with the puppy mills and pet stores that breed with no thought given to temperment, health, and matching dogs with responsible owners; and with those breeders who breed dogs with nasty temperment because that's what sells (Joe Thug, upon looking for a dog to guard his crystal meth operation or crack house, does not look for a calm, well-adjusted dog -- he looks for the nastiest Rottweiler or pit bull he can find).

And the hunters who dump the dogs who don't live up to their standards by the side of the road; and the people who cannot be bothered to get their cat spayed so she produces three litters of kittens a year which they then dump somewhere...eeeegggh, don't get me started on people who are cruel to animals!

Just one note to add to all those who have zero tolerance for pit bulls. I used to be in your camp until I befriended an abused pit bull puppy in my neighborhood. I approached him only because of his age and because he was so scrawny. He was so starved for kindness just like any puppy would be in his situation. He looked up at me with his warm puppy eyes and wagged his tail.

That was the last time, I blindly hated all pit bulls. (Afterwards, I learned about Mercy, another local pit bull who died after being set on fire. Her sad face was just unforgettable. At no point even in her pain was she aggressive according to her care givers.) Now I am no fool. I would not have one in my home given the unpredictability of the breed. I would not hesitate to report one to animal control if it was loose in the neighborhood even if I knew it might be euthanized if taken to the shelter. I would not enter a home if they kept a pit bull in anything other than a fully enclosed kennel and kept by an experienced and responsible owner. As they are today, they are just too dangerous to be handled any other way.

But when I think of that puppy I know it doesnt have to be that way. As an animal lover, I just can't see any animal breed, subject to human meddling both good and bad, as wholly bad and completely unreedeemable. If humans made pit bulls bad in the first place, we can make them good again. If other gaurd type dogs like dobermans and Rotties can be both protective and trustworthy companions then so can pit bulls if given a chance.

And in case you are wondering, I do not know what happened to the puppy. After I reported his owners several times for neglect and for breaking the leash law in Dallas, he disappeared. I just hope the shelter took him. I just couldnt do more. I couldnt take him and there arent many places for pits to go besides to a shelter.

i found this article and want to share it. it was written by two individuals at the end.

“They tell you they are evil and only owned by people who deal drugs, only to be violent and hurtful towards people, but pit bull owners know different.”
I am writing this letter in reference to last week’s article in the paper about Scott Nelson and council, and last week’s “question of the week” and to everyone who responded as well.
I am ashamed that our mayor and council had the inconsideration to state that pit bulls, and just pit bulls are drug dogs.
I am a proud owner of two wonderful pit bulls and I would like to give the City of Williams lake a little insight to the history of the American pit bull terrier.
To start, pit bull is not a breed of dog, it is a term typically used to group three breeds of dog, The American pit bull terrier, American Staffordshire and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
Pit bulls have no control of what happens to them. They are trained to fight and left for dead. These dogs are never given the chance to live with love and decency. Some people only want to see pit bulls behind bars, or worse, dead. But when did it become guilty before proven innocent? When did it become OK to kill puppies all because of who their parents were? Or simply for what breed they look like? When did it become OK to hear of an abused pit bull, and think it deserved it?
Yes, pit bulls have attacked and killed humans. But you’d be fooled to think that only pit bulls are capable of this. In the U.S., a Pomeranian killed a six-week old infant.
Every year, 440,000 people die due to cigarettes; 40,000 people die in car related accidents; 38,000 people die in gun shot related injuries; 2,000 children killed by their own parents; and three are killed by dogs.
So where does the real epic lie?
We need to stop punishing the wrong side of the leash. It’s the people who train the dogs to behave like this to be aggressive and mean, and it’s you who makes us believe it was the dog.
Pit bulls have been a popular breed for ages. Helen Keller, Theodore Roosevelt and Michael J. Fox were all (APBT) owners. (And I am almost positive they were not drug dogs). Three pit bulls helped find the astronauts from the 2003 space shuttle disaster. One of the most respected U.S. customs drug sniffing dogs is a pit bull. 
Any dog can be trained to be aggressive. Pit bulls passed the temperament test with flying colours — 83.5 per cent when Chihuahua’s passed with less than 72 per cent.
Banning breeds only hurts families. You wouldn’t want a beloved member of yours being taken away simply because of the way they looked, would you? 
I am a very strong believer that pit bulls are wonderful dogs in the hands of responsible owners, just like any other breed. As with any dog there will always be irresponsible owners and poorly bred dogs. That does not mean that all of these dogs are evil. 
Humanity is the evil one when it comes to pit bulls. Because what man doesn’t understand man fears, and what man fears, man destroys.

Rod,

You have some valid concerns here. You also have a phobia. The latter causes you to take positions about the former that do not represent you at your analytical peak. You might want to lay off the topic, IMHO.

I feel like if you'd spend some time with Ernie, my former-stray rat terrier from the mean streets of Old East Dallas, you'd conclude that dogs are not the worst things since the Enlightenment. He would lick you into submission. :)

Nowadays people can treat their pets like children. And, unfortunately, it can blind them to the fact that their pet is not a child but an animal and animals can be even more unpredictable than human beings. Personally, I am always very cautious around dogs and have a grave concern about certain breeds including pitt bulls, dobermans, and rottweilers. I certainly don't think running out and killing all of them makes any sense, but I also don't think many owners of these breeds properly understands them or cares for them with the proper precautions.

Another comment...

A friend of my father's had his grandson attacked and nearly killed by a Pitt Bull several years ago. Upon further investigation it was shown that the owner of the dog kept him chained in the back yard, fed him irregularly and put various things in his food to keep his stomach irritated in order to make him more angry/aggressive. It also came out that the man was using a stick to taunt the dog for the same purpose in order to use him in dog fighting. When the dog got loose from the chain because his collar broke, he attacked the first two-legged thing he saw, which happened to be this innocent child. But it wasn't the dog's fault... it's just too bad his owner wasn't around at the time to get a bit of his own medicine.

You are an idiot you know that! People who make comments like you are scum and in all reality Pit Bulls (as stated previously) are animals, what's your excuse?? Maybe people like you are the ones who should be exterminated, did you ever consider that!

I recent'ly had a pit bull attack in which i was playing baseball very far away from the dog and the dog came out and started chasing me.
luckily i escaped because i started running for my bat and threw balls at him.
After the owner came
(she's my neighbor)
she apoligized and i took her apoligy
i think that if a dog can't be trained.
it doesn't deserve to live

Have you ever looked up the stats on how many people (to include children) have gotten killed or injured by Pits VS German sheppards, great danes, bull dogs, any other breed. Doubt it! Your an idiot and an ignorant one at that! look your shit up dummy!!

My daughter was chased by a pit bull two days ago in Pflugerville. It had chewed its way out of the back yard fence. She called 911 and then me. I got there first and the pit bull =ran from me and my ax handle before I could kill it. Our lazy assed cops did not do a thing about the dog and it was the 3rd time fir this dog to be loose.

The reason that you only hear of pit bull attacks is due to the media! Negative news is more popular in the media! Look up statistics and meet the dog before you start judging a couple of news stories! Labs were voted as the number one dog for the last couple years by the AKC, yet they have more attacks and bites then pits! Sadly some of the most trusted breeds are the ones who have actual issues! Pit bulls are targeted because they look tough and some people try to use them as a gaurd dog, when they were never bred to be a gaurd dog! Owners are to blame! These same people who owned these pits that have attacked would have had the same problem with any breed of dog they owned. They are irresponsible pet owners who chain their dogs up, under socialize them, and do not use any obedience training. These are the leading cause for most dog attacks per any breed! I am a certified dog trainer and have also worked in shelters for a long time now. Pits have been the least of my problem dogs. In fact statistically nationwide they pass official behavior tests better then most breeds of dogs. Please do your homework before judging any breed of dog! You can't believe something just because the media says it. Punish the deed not the breed! And start holding owners more responsible! Maybe then they will buy dogs because they want them, and not as a status symbol.

KILL THEM ALL!!!! That would be great, but it won't work. What we need to do is make the owners PAY. You can't own a tiger, or a wolf without a special permit. Why? Because they are dangerous animals and, as a society, we have decided not to let just anyone own them. For the same reason, I can own a hand gun, but not an automatic assault rifle. So you want to own pit bulls, you should be willing to pay. A special permit fee for each one you own. Another fee if you want to breed them. And you should be forced to carry liability insurance. Not fair? Heck, I have to have one MILLION DOLLARS worth of liablity insurance just to set up my little booth at a flea market. And my booth has never bitten or mauled anyone. Why shouldn't people have to carry insurance if they own dangerous animals?

What Animal Do I Speak Of?

Their love is like no other; their heart is pure as gold.
Yet while going on a friendly walk, they're faced with stares of cold.

They're so very close to human, in how they act and what they do.
Unless you've known their devoted love, it's impossible to explain to you.

They are greatly more misunderstood, than any other breed.
We tend to punish this loyal dog, instead of mankind's deeds.

They are always and forever clowns, with a wish for center stage.
Yet while displaying this sense of humor, most people disengage.

They, oh, so want to make new friends, and run and jump and play.
Yet when they happily approach, most people shy away.

Often I've seen children poke, or hop on for a ride.
And when I felt they might get mad, they've only beamed with pride.

I've seen these children yank and pull, with nary a reaction.
Yet media's not interested, unless they've put someone in traction.

They love to snuggle up real close, to give lots of loves and kisses.
Yet they suffer more than any, from unfair prejudices.

What animal do I speak of, whose love is so unique?
If you've truly known one, you know of whom I speak.

There is no creature on this earth who will ever make you merrier.
The animal I do speak of, it's the American Pit Bull Terrier.

By Patty Letawsky

Kill all Pitbulls before they kill another human. I was walking my 3 yr old male Dobe when out of nowhere a pitbull attacked me. My dog defended me but, as we all know, pitbulls are killing machines. Without hesitation, I jumped in & got one arm around the pit's neck bringing him close to my body so he would not be able to bite me or my dog & the other arm around his abdomen. Luckily for me and my dog, I'm a big guy & am trained in martial arts. The owners came out of their house & said the same thing all pitbull owners will say sooner or later... I never saw my dog do that before. The woman told her husband to get their dog from me. I was about to break it's neck. Although I've recovered (lost a tooth from the impact of the pitbull knocking me down) my friendly doberman is still friendly to humans but, not other dogs. I don't go anywhere without my gun now. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a pitbull either.

KILL A PITBULL BEFORE IT KILLS YOU!!!

how can you be writting on a "spiritual" site when you talk like the devil? kill all the pitbulls?? all pitbulls are not mean in fact they have a better rep than a pomeranian and you can check those stats on the web! it is NOT the breed that should have a bad rep it is irresponsible owners who are at fault! if an owner teaches ANY animal to be mean or fight or attack then that is all they know. if they are raised with love and affection with dicipline then they are truly a gentle giant, you sir a a big mouth hypocrite who needs to get your facts straight before you go and write about something you obviously know NOTHING about.

I have never owned a pit bull, but have come in contact with several. Both of my sisters have a pit bull and a friend of mine has one, as well. If we are to assume that good natured pits are few and far between, should we not also assume that at least one of these three dogs are dangerous. These dogs are no more dangerous than any other breed of dog. Pits are not the only dogs that attack. Doberman's have a reputation, as well, although we don't hear about it much now because all the attention is focused on pit bulls. Aggressive pit bulls are aggressive because they have been trained to be by ignorant people. I have seen reports of people being attacked by different breeds of dogs, not just pit bulls. I have seen reports of people being attacked by other animals, even cats. Not too long ago a cat had to be euthanized for mauling a baby. I'm sure we all know by now about the chimpanzee that attacked a family friend. Come on people, use common sense. In reality, all species have that potential. How many humans are incarcerated for murder or assault. Shall we have a mass suicide to rid the world of the violent behavior of humans? Let's not be ignorant. Pit bulls do not fight to kill either. For the comment by someone of supposed "spiritual" lifestyle, someone should pray for you and your ignorance. As said before, I do not own a pit bull, but they are members of our family. Before that, I had reservations about the breed because I had been influenced by those whose ignorance has rampaged and intoxicated our minds. Luckily I have had the chance to experience the good nature and loyalty of this breed to know that I should have no more fear in their presence than I would have with a chihuaha.

For every uneducated moron out there bleating about how lovable and kind pitbulls are, there are 4 or 5 former pit bull owners whose dogs have turned on them. On the same side of that coin are dog lovers touting the "It's the owners who train them to be aggressive that are the problem". I don't agree. They are too unpredictable. Lions and Tigers are beautiful creatures too, but we don't allow them to be domesticated because they CAN'T BE DOMESTICATED!! I believe that the breed (Which is not a natural breed, but a hybrid) never should have existed and we should put every one of them in a shredder and make dog food out of them. I can't let my kids play in front of their own home because you never know what irresponsible owner will not confine their poor choice of a pet well enough. Kill em all...every last one of them.

If I had to guess, the dogs that killed the child were American Bullies, not to be mistaken for American Pitbull Terriers. American Pitbull Terriers are bread by legit breeders that can produce papers, temprament history, family history, and will gaurantee their dogs. Unfortunatley there are a lot of trashy breeders that I like to call backyard breeders out there that have created a designer dog called an American Bully and unfortunatly these unedcutated trash pits of society decided to call them Pitbulls to try to push their dogs on people as somthing else. There is only one true Pitbull and that is the American Pitbull Terrier. If you see a dog called a rednosed pitbull, bluenosed pitbull, or just plain pitbull, these are not Pitbulls at all and should all be correctly classified as American Bullies. They look nothing like an American Pitbull Terrier, act nothing like an American Pitbull Terrier, and are plain bad dogs just like the trash pits that breed these American Bully dogs.

My little sister was almost killed 3 times by the same naighbors pit bull before I finally told cops I was going to kill it myself if they didn't take it away. This same dog had also gotten loose and attacked other children in the area. The when huby and i bought our house one of our naighbors had a pit. He had goten out of the house and attacked one of my sons playing outside. Thank god it only got him in the back as my son turned and bent to the ground covering his head. The owner was able to grab the dog before much damage was done. 10 stitches in his back but he was fine otherwise. The part that makes me the most mad is they quarentined the dog for 10 days, then gave it back. Even after they knew what it had done. What will it take for people to realize these are not pet material. They are dangerous things.
