I really needed that video. You see I have this beautiful teenage daughter who won't stop telling me that pit bulls are just dogs. Before she gets her face chewed off by one of her friends pit bulls, I want her to know how different they are from the start, and nothing said it like the two puppies ripping each other apart until someone separated them. Is there any way You can send me a link of that video in my email at<br />getapetahome@gmail.com? I have a lot of sound and solid reasons for being very concerned about the explosion in births of pit bull dogs. We desperately need the cooperation of a lot more people like me and the average person coming forward, speaking out, and fighting for protection. It should not be something that only happens after someone in our family loses a life or a limb. Just getting started on a very careful campaign to protect my own child.

A troubled breed attracts troubled people to start with. Ask yourself why this guy HAD to pick a known banned breed instead of any of hundreds of NON fighting breed dogs to start with, thereby thumbing his nose at the law and no doubt thinking he'd get away with it.

And they say the mainstream media is full of lies about pit bulls? lol.<br /><br />I think it's crazy how many people were called heartless idiots for saying 'well it WAS a banned breed, he should have known better/it's his own fault' and yet having read more I see that pit nutter are very happy to go on the facebook of parents of dead children and pass about the blame to anything other than the dog(s) that did it.

I was told I have no grasp on the facts and was spreading urban myths, that pit bulls are little cuddly bundles of loyalty and love and could never hurt a fly. I was presented with the tale of the nanny dog, whom before becoming the guardian of children was a large game hunter not a bloodsports breed at all (oh lol, hunting IS a bloodsport) and how cruel humans twisted this purpose making them fight in pits despite their child loving, do no harm nature. Oh and that they are not called pit bulls for either fighting in pits or for the bull baiting of their bull dog ancestors, they never said why they got these names but they were adamant that the fighting and the bulls were just evil rumours. My list of the dead was ignored and I was told I was spreading inaccurate media hysteria. The thing is I never said all pit bulls/ bull breeds are dangerous, I even said I'm sure there are loving family pets out there but I was treated as if I was suggesting their own dog had commited a great crime, there was one reasonable response that ended by asking me when was the last time I'd heard of a pitbull killing someone, like it would be so long ago that we should just forget it, that's why I did thee list, most of whom were killed around 2013, the most recent was an 11 month old girl, killed by an american pit bull (a breed that is banned here) in 2014. <br /><br />I had never heard this story about nanny dogs and I'm pretty up on my history and English dog breeds, so I googled and found your blog. It was sort of a relief to see that the rampant denial of the true nature of their pet is being combated elsewhere. I've never come across the phenomenon of the pit nutter and it disturbs me greatly that they own these dogs, I think a responsible dog owner should be fully aware and accepting of their breed's traits so they know what to expect and how to react. This constant rewriting of history and denying the basic facts on what these dogs were specifically designed to do is very worrying and completely irresponsible. It worries me that they spend so much time spreading the lie that pit bulls are completely harmless, yet are happy to point out other dog breeds are dangerous, have bitten or killed people like it somehow makes it alright that maybe a bad owner let their pit bull kill someone except that never happens because pit bulls are the most loving and loyal dog in the universe, how can you have such a huge disconnect in thinking?Miss Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879571595012941167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544290607494171011.post-56874216828794538212015-04-06T12:21:18.756-07:002015-04-06T12:21:18.756-07:00Good stuff, Richard.

For the past 35 years pit bull type dogs have been the number one canine killer of people, pets and livestock. The AVMA can't tell me this is not breed specific issue. There are 400 dog breeds and only a few breeds that continually kill humans. The problem with targeting "irresponsible"owners is that you only know they're "irresponsible" after the death or mauling has already occurred. That's too late for somebody. Good BSL or breed bans eliminates the problem before it happens. Guns don't kill people- people kill people. Same with pit bulls- they are a dangerous breed and those that own them need to be regulated and controlled.juliewallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210707518902310476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544290607494171011.post-80519581635150948802015-04-03T06:34:33.436-07:002015-04-03T06:34:33.436-07:00The vast majority of these pit bull advocates are ...The vast majority of these pit bull advocates are truly under the impression that love and obedience training can overcome an animals natural instinct. I'm not saying that every single pit bull type will kill. We have all seen Labradors that are afraid of water; there are plenty of exceptions to the rule out there, in any breed. When we discuss other breeds that have instinctual behaviors, such as pointing or herding, it is widely accepted that these are natural traits that one should take into consideration before adopting, owning, or breeding. Pit bull advocates refuse to accept or follow the same line of thinking when it comes to pit bull type dog. Pit bull advocates are more obsessed with ignoring the power of genetics, foolishly convincing themselves that they can outsmart Mother Nature. The pit bull advocates accomplish this by convincing the general public that if you are a good enough person, you can overcome the odds, pull a pit bull off of death row at an overcrowded shelter, and end up with Lassie.juliewallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210707518902310476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544290607494171011.post-55682067007375481342015-04-02T16:14:56.812-07:002015-04-02T16:14:56.812-07:00Jeff!

The following is on the AVMA website: <br /><br />"Why breed-specific legislation is not the answer<br /><br />Imagine you were told you weren’t allowed to live somewhere or do something because had a specific “look” about you that some people didn’t like. Or maybe you look like someone who did something bad, even though you haven’t done anything bad yourself. Imagine someone who’s never met you decides that you’re a bad person and a danger to society. They won’t let you live in their neighborhoods or walk in their parks or streets. Is that acceptable?" https://www.avma.org/public/pages/why-breed-specific-legislation-is-not-the-answer.aspx<br /><br />WTF?!!! And tell me again WHY we listen to these ass clowns regarding BSL and public health and safety?

If Breeders stopped their discriminating selection process, pit bulls would disappear off the face of the earth. All breeds would melt in the pot and the canine species would be like a bowl of mashed potatoes. Then it would be impossible to know which dogs are dangerous and which dogs are not. <br />It is a nice to be able to determine life safety at just a glance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15265166305331444498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544290607494171011.post-86281176847953353492015-04-02T08:40:46.254-07:002015-04-02T08:40:46.254-07:00Something nutters don't want to understand-the...Something nutters don't want to understand-there's a big difference between discrimination and discriminating.
