Pitbulls are not a pet they are a killing machine. Any one who purposely has one needs to seriously think about the ridicule they are setting themselves up for. I have a friend in Toronto who was walking her dog and they were both attacked by a pitbull. Her dog has since passed away from it's injuries and she is still terrified to go outside. Yes the owners should be held responsible for owning a pitbull and anything that their dog may do. They are a breed that under no circumstances should be t

i do agree it is the owner not the dog.
evey one on both sides of this issue need to get all the facts straight. the media has a lot to do with people's views on this breed, you only hear the cases they choose to use in there stories. dogs take on a lot of the traits of the human that raises them. and lastly boxxers are not visious dogs, so please don't just list dogs that you think look mean.

By saying these dogs have been breed to kill.. is that to say that if two murders produce a baby will that child grow up to be just like them?? NO! because take the child out of that environment and guess what.. violence is not in our blood!! likewise, How is this puppy to know that his ancestors were trained to kill.. you put that dog into a loving home, and train him effectively then why should he want to hurt anyone? For all of you pitbull haters out there.. your cocker spanial or german she

I guess J.D. missed the part about my comments where I said if you do not have an intelligent argument just keep quiet. Comparing pitbulls to lions is completely ridiculous. How dare anyone make fun of my sincere comments regarding my dogs. I have owned these dogs for 6 years, they have been raised in a loving home. Those who have not entered my home and met my dogs have no right to say anything. When I first moved into my neighbourhood, obviously neighbours were worried and stand offish, now th

I really have to disagree with Margo! Of course you wouldnt own a bear or a wolf there not domesticated, but who knows maybe with proper training and a loving family a bear or a wolf could be a great pet. Its the enviroment in which the animal is raised which will determine the kind of pet it is! if the dog or any animal is abused, tormented, or just not trained enough of course it will be violent. Im not saying that all owners beat the pit bulls but not training them properly is just as bad.

Regarding Margo's comments, apparently she didn't bother to read all the statistics about pitbulls and all the information about the breed. She left out how some pitbulls were used in the army to pull wounded soldiers to safety and how pitbulls are not the breed with the most bites. What about the pitbull from the Little Rascals, was they any concern about him being around all those children, no because these dogs are not naturally borm killers. They are capable of inflicting a lot of damage but

The problem with the dogs is the owner NOT the dog. In most bite cases ive heard of or know of the owner TRAINED the dog to be violent. As in the case with the last bite that killed the old man you yourself said the dog had a history of aggression. Also unless you know the total backstory on the case with each dog you can't make any comment since you don't know what lead up to each attack. I have read some place as well that miniture poodles are an extreamly aggressive dog and are the cause

Hey T, T, and S,
I own three lions. I am a responsible owner. I educated myself about the species and train and raise them accordingly. They are my children. My life is complete and happy because of my lions. They are affectionate and compassionate to everyone who enters into my home.
Wow, that sounds completely ridiculous doesn't it? Pitbulls are known to provide exactly the sort of tragedy that happened the other day. Whether it is the owner, the dog, or the man in the moon's faul

pit bulls were bred for one reason, and one reason only, that was to fight, in pits, to the death. these dogs are only doing what is in their genetic makeup.just like huskys were bred to run, what do they do? they run.sheep dogs were bred to herd, what do they do?they herd.it's irresponsible owners who exasperate these traits in pitbulls. Just take a look at the kind of clowns who own these dogs. They are a misconstrued sign of machismo to these people. These dogs have no place in our parks , p
