MODERATORS
I don’t disagree entirely (although I think an attack instinct kicks is a lot faster in pit bulls), but that’s my point. A pit bull bite is simply inherently more lethal. Since we are not going to license and regulate dog owners and monitor their training efforts, the best alternative is not having dangerous breeds.
Not all pitbulls are work dogs. It's not even a real breed first of all but the dogs that we consider pitbulls come from all kinds, they have work dogs and dogs that were bred for homes. If any kind of dog should be outlawed, it should be work dogs in general. To single out such a broad kind of dog, like "pitbull" is ignorant.
I will never agree. Pit bulls are dangerous, and I will die with that opinion
Which breed of dog are you talking about though? Because "pitbull" is not a breed. Do you mean all of the 3-5 breeds ignorant people consider pitbulls? Or do you just mean one of them, if so which one?
No, the breed’s most people consider pit bulls. Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and so on, as well as mixes.
Stop claiming people are ignorant just because they disagree with you. That is what is truly ignorant.
I hate pit bulls with a passion and would gladly kill every single one. The world would be a safer place.
You are a bigot and sound exactly the same as the people who fought for racist slavery. One is a lot worse but they're both bad and come from ridiculous opinions.
You are a ridiculous asshole. It’s a fucking dog. Maybe when a pit kills one of your loved ones, you will see what horrible creatures they are.
I would want to kill the dogs owner not the dog if that happened because I understand it's a product of it's environment. There are no bad dogs just bad people. How you can't see that is beyond me.
