"I don't think it means what you think it means"

You keep using these words... what was it that Dean Vernon said?

Your inabiity to keep up does not constitute a problem on my behalf.

Good night — I hope I don’t see your name in tomorrow’s newspaper as the latest pit bull victim.

You are in my prayers.

But it can’t muzzle a weapon.

I’m sorry but neither me is. I actually love Pitbulls and my family breeds German Shepherds...

Unless you want to encourage the gun-grabbers by making their argument that guns are as dangerous and unpredictable as pit bulls.

They would not make that argument.
They would make the argument
that gun owners can not be trusted to be responsible
just as 'pit bull' owners can not be trusted to be responsible.

For example, here is an actual paraphrase of a politician....

"You can no more trust a pit bull owner to put a muzzle on his dog
than you can a gun owner to put a trigger lock on his gun"

Please explain how your post, and only your post, was removed, HamBoy?

You didn’t follow the rules.

My point exactly. Great quote.

What is the rule? Is also calling me an idiot within FR rules?

Thanks for this story, Porterville. I am thankful for these wonderful dogs. I live in the city, and spend many days at home with my little ones. Our rottie girl is both a loving companion and an excellent visual deterrent to any unwelcome intruders (however, since she's never met a human that she hasn't loved, I'm not sure she would be anything more than a visual deterrent). :) Photobucket

I never needed proof of training to buy a gun.
You live in LA?

Shame on you!!! Do you make your mind up on your own or do you let everyone tell you what to think and believe?! If you want to listen to facts check all of them before you condemn one breed based on what the humans in thier lives have taught them! Dogs are like children, they wan to please thier masters! They desperately want to make us proud and happy! And pits (if you read the akc description if the Pitts nature) are even more desperate to please than most dogs. Pits are loving companions, yes they were bred a long time ago for aggression, to other animals, namely dogs and bulls. But of one of them showed aggression towards a human they were immediately put down and not bred as the handlers didn’t want the dog to turn on them I they were trying to break up a fight. Pits are cruelly misjudged because we have thugs and other bad sorts buying these dogs and abusing the fuck out of them and as a result, yes they become aggresive. But that isn’t just pits, any dog can become vicious if mistreated. Also in temperment testing Pitts actually score higher than that of a common family pet, like a golden retriever. Have you ever seen pits with children? I have, in fact I own a pit and she is the sweetest thing ever! She loves cuddles and kisses and even te vet says there isn’t an aggresive bone in her body. Pits are actually widely known for loving people, of all sorts. My baby, Hazel, has never met a stranger in her life, she loves on everyone! So please! Before you shun and condemn an entire breed spend some time with one, check all of your facts and do your research before you make an opinion!

Not only that but if you wanna talk about mean and aggresive dogs lets talk about mean and aggresive dogs: chihuahuas. They are the meanest and most aggresive dogs I have ever come across. But nobody reads stories about chihuahuas attacking children even though it happens frequently. Why? Because it doesn’t sell. The media only posts the stories about pits because fear sells and pits are powerful dogs. And out of all te reporte dog attacks only half of the dogs that are liste as pit are actually even pit. Tere are many breeds that share certain characteristics with the pit. Great Danes, boxers, bulldogs, etc, so many dogs are mistaken for being a pit by the person attacked simply because try were attacked by them and because they might look like a pit they assume. Even animal experts say it is nearly impossible to 100% determine if a dog has pit in them. And because of this not only are pits getting a bad rap, but there are other good dogs that, under the BSL legislation, many would like to see exterminated completely, like German shepards. Yes they are on the list of “bully breed” dogs. As are Great Danes, boxers, Akitas, huskies, bulldogs, and many other great dogs.
