this is a board that talks about issues concerning animals...your own pets as well as animal rights,alerts,bills before congress that need our attention.This is a family board but as abuse cases may be posted it may not always be for the sensitive readers.Please be kind to each other,thanks!
Jim Dandy: I have a question,would you rather be locked in a room with a crazed pit bull or a crazed weiner dog?....why is the pitbull crazed?? THAT is the attitude that pisses me off.There are VERY few dogs that I would never approach,but I do not base this on BREED.I WELCOME AGGRESSIVE dog legislation...but NOT breed specific,that is just wrong.check out the atts site...labs ratre LOWER the pits in temperment testing.
I dont argue that larger breeds such as pits are more powerful,sure but little dogs can and do bite,often more then larger dogs..I believe it was a pomeranian (sp) that attacked and killed a baby a few years back.
100% in agreement that these dogs often fall into the wrong hands and THIS is the problem that has to be addressed......How many shelters have you voluneered at Jim Dandy? how many pitbulls have you had personal experiance with? How many time a week do YOU take the time to read the breed history/profile,stats...and how many times a week do you talk to real owners..the ones that love the breed for the breed,NOT the rep of having it??
