before the wild dogz on FR begin their viscious anti-pit bull ranting .....
I have owned 3 pit bulls and I have owned toy poodles.
I had a toy poodle that would tear out your throat if you got near my son when he was a baby. By current pit bull just sighs as my jack Russell terrier terrorizes him when he's trying to take a nap.
Are pit bulls dangerous? - only as dangerous as the human who trained him. Just like horses, cown or any other large animal, you do NOT allow chilren to play with them - they are not toys and they are rough.
Ignorance of anti-pit bull dogs is no different than the ignorance of anti-smokers and anti-gun fascists.
In the case of this article the dogs' owners should be jailed and charged with assault and the animals , unfortunately, destroyed since they have been irrepairably damaged by the owner.
I would prefer to have the owner staked out on the ground naked and pour gravy over his privates and then let his pitbulls out for a snack.
While I do not care for pit bulls I have to agree with you on most issues in your post.
As a general rule, not talking about your poodle, I've found that owners of little dogs let them get more out of hand.
Ankle biters PO me to the max. The owner is going "Oh, isn't he cute, he thinks he's a big dog." as he's nipping and chewing on the bottom of your pants leg. Since I have to be nice I were long jeans when I'm working.
Big dogs I can handle, it's the little ones I want to drop kick to the other side of the room.
