I Have never seen a story about a labador retriever or a cocker spaniel, ripping anyone up.

Really? Well here's a story you must have missed:
Isabelle Dinoire received the world's first partial face transplant. Dinoire was severely disfigured in May 2005 by her pet Labrador. In November 2005, surgeons grafted the lips, nose and chin of a brain-dead woman onto her face.

You don't read much about these stories because the media decided yrs ago that "pitbull" scare stories hooked readers by praying upon their fears...you'll notice that we don't have posters here scouring the net looking for Labs attacking children stories, but we do have posters who are always seeking out "Pitbull Attacks!" articles and posting them. I suppose they relish the ensuing hysteria.

There are dog bites all the time from pets and some of them really bad. I was a victim of my pet when I was a kid. It was an accident.

My folks had the dog put down. Doesn’t anyone do that anymore?

There is nothing that will sway me from the knowledge that the pitt bull is way out there on this issue. The breed should be banned.
