What do you think of pit bulls?

[Miss Z]

I haven't met an awful lot of pit bulls as yet, but people cannot distrust them or not like them for the sake of what others say about them. As many others have said, any dog, regardless of the breed, can have aggression problems. An old neighbour used to have a Pomeranian which was a mean little thing, and we still have neighbours with two very aggressive border collies. And of course people who own these breeds would not hesitate in saying that these breeds are the sweetest they've ever met etc, so it's really unfair, and offensive to people who own pitbulls, when someone expresses their hate for them. With kind treatment any animal will be a loving companian, but some people expect animals to stay placid when they are ignored, beaten or neglected. Some non-pettish people I know need to wake up to that fact.

The most foolish, silly dog I've met in a long time is one of my co-worker's pit mixes. Just like any other dog, if they're raised right, they're fine..


Breed legislation is senseless feel good BS so the politicians can stand up on campaign and say "See, I did XYZ". It has no basis in statistics (if BSL was stat based they'd ban cocker spaniels, which is top of the USPS's most frequent biter list)
