Borzoimom, OK we get it, you don't like pit bulls. I'm sorry about what happened to your friend, but campaigning against all pit bulls is not going to change the past. You know what you should do with your dislike of pit bulls? Don't ever get one. The end.
If you support breed specific legislation like the banning of pit bulls you are just opening the door to banning of many other breeds (which has already happened in some places) and eventually possible restrictions like this on ALL dogs.
I've worked at a grooming salon for over 4 years and we did have one pretty bad incident with a pittie, but I don't hold that against all pits. The worst bites I have received working there were from 2 poodles and a cat and I don't blame all poodles and cats for that either, that would be ridiculous.
ALL dogs are capable of biting, that is how they defend themselves. Some dogs just have a much higher tolerance level of what will push them to react and bite.
I personally would not get a pit bull, they are just not the breed for me, but I do not have any problems with responsible people having them and I think they can be great dogs. I have a siberian husky and I've had many people take one look at him and think he is a vicious dog, and it hurts to have people feel that way about your beloved pet. Your comments are hurtful (especially what you wrote about Maximus...I hope his "mom" doesn't see that), you've said waaaay more than your 2 cents.
Just adding one more thing........the most unpredictable and out of control dog I have ever met was an ex-police trained german shepherd. He would attack without warning or reason. I am not trying to say anything bad about GSDs, just that any dog, reguardless of breed, can have "issues" not just pit bulls.
This thread needs to be closed IMO.
