Another vicious pit bull attack. I had a question about eliminating all pit bulls a few days ago?

Question

Well it happened again. Another vicious pit bull viciously attacks a child and almost kills him. Time to put these horrible animals to sleep forever. To those of you that think it is cool or that blah blah blah... you are wrong. What do you think?http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,393982,00.html

Answer 1

Obviously pit bull attacks are not "cool".  But like everything else, it's not a black and white issue.

It's common knowledge that pit bulls are a relatively vicious breed.  Anyone who buys a pit bull and allows it to exhibit viciousness is irresponsible.  After all, a pit bull is only a dog.  Dogs are pretty unintelligent (relative to us), and will behave as they are trained to behave.  I think people need to stop blaming the dogs for these attacks, and instead should start paying attention to the irresponsibility of the dogs' owners.

EDIT: Check out this article: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/st...

It outlines the Dog Whisperer's views on pit bull attacks, and he claims that it is the fault of the owners for not training their pets properly.

Answer 2

i think it horrible to put animals to sleep for any reason but especially for their breed,its not their fault,i honestly think its the breeders that should be put down. theres no reason these dogs should be bread and no reason people should want them dead, if they stop breeding them and try to change the dogs society skills as in breeding with another dog just to get the pitt out of the bull so to speak we can all rest safely and so can our kids

Answer 3

Any attack is horrible but if they think by eliminating all pitbulls is the anwser they are wrong, I have two pits they have never bite anybody, its the owners. They need to crack down on dog fihgting and the dog seized from fights should be retrained then given to experianced homes. MASS MURDER IS WHAT IT IS.

Answer 4

Did anyone know that german shepards are the leading breed for dog bites the last time I checked. Pitbulls just get all the publicity. I don't believe every pit is a bad or aggressive dog. If they are so horrible, STOP BUYING THEM AS FAMILY PETS. They should be owned by experienced owners.

Answer 5

Ten times more people will die this year from... falling coconuts!

Bad things can happen to anyone at any time..

A whole heck of a lot more children die everyday in car accidents..

Quit trying to bubblewrap the world. It doesn't work and it makes the world a lot more unpleasant for the majority..

I wish I knew what you loved.. I'm sure anything you like has killed more children then pit bulls.. I would put everything I could into banning it, whether it be music, art or anything else. That way, you would know what it's like to have something taken away because other people don't know how to be safe..
