For yall that own pits,i have a serious question.Why did you choose to get a pit over all the other breeds out there?

But they're misunderstood, gentle and don't hurt anyone.

... a dog whose breed rips apart terrified, innocent children or adults who can't defend themselves, giving their last moments on earth an unbelievable hell of ripping flesh and the blood running from their cooling bodies crumpled in a heap as these gentle misunderstood dogs stand by ready to rip and tear again.

most of the people i see that own pits are wussy little thug ass black dudes, they walk them with big huge chains instead of leashes. i see it the same way i see them toting chrome pistols and putting 28 inch wheels and a skittles paint job on 94 crown vics, all so some other dumbass will look at them.

And you got this information whose link doesn't even show a Pit Bull in the Pic. They show a White English Bulldog,.....not even a Terrier. See what I mean...not misunderstood dogs at all. Mis-identified to be made to look more dangerous than they are.

Correct 6% of the population yet 81% of MIXED BREED Pits. Read the stories and not the headlines!! Geez I cant believe hoe gullible you guys are. No wonder we are losing the war on our rights.

I didn't decide, I was raised with them. Now I am not talking about a perceived pit, I am talking about a bona fide real American Pit Bull Terrier and not these "mixed" breeds that are commonly grouped in as Pits. I owned Pits before they were "cool" and before they apparently out of nowhere, started attacking and killing everyone. They were just like my Lab or Retriever they were Pets and family members.

I was exposed to Pits for as far as I can remember. They were catch dogs when we Hog hunted and pets and family members when not hunting. Never, ever got bit by one and never seen them Bite anyone. Dad would, as I would also, shoot on sight before the second hand made a revolution around the clock any dog that would bite or attempt to bite a child. All of the Pits I owned or were family owned were all from the same bloodline and not some inbred or mixed fence jumping breed.

Any dog can be vicious, jump in on a pack of Walker Hounds that have caught up to a deer or Hog and try to get em off. They'll tear you a new one. I've been ran out of a yard by a Chocolate lab, barking snarling and throwing slobber. And I have a small chunk of cheek missing when a Chihuahua decided he didn't like me laying on "his" pillow. I got bit by my own Golden Retriever when I came thru the gate on my dirt bike once. They all can and will Bite gents and some will do it faster than most and yes, some are more efficient when they do bite but singleing out a particular breed based on false information is just emotion because it involved children.

Go to the link and read the stories. The vast majority of the cases involving children were "mixed Breed" and in almost every occasion they were unattended children.
One story in particular, the little boy in Calloway Florida they have the breed listed a Pit Mixed breed and that is untrue. I know of this case personally via animal Control friend and those doge were Boxer mix and not Pit. This makes my point. Any number of Mixed breed dogs are called Pits and yet everyone ignores this simple fact and spouts off their hatred of a breed of dog they know nothing about because some biased magazine article tells you to be afraid of these dogs.

As I mentioned earlier, the dog whose pic is on the webpage linked to in this thread isn't even a Pit Bull or is it even a terrier!! It is a White English BULLDOG. Like I said, bias based on emotion. None of you have ever owned a real Pit Bull and seen them attack anyone that any other dog would not have attacked.

Pits should be eradicated. Period.

One thing for sure, if a pitt looking dog is on my property I'm not going to ask for its ancestry papers to see if it came over on the Mayflower.

What a load of hog wash. You're like the guy who wanted a blood test before you would admit what kind of dog it was. You would rather look for any excuse to defend the %$&^% dog rather than the 4 year old child it killed.

Let me put it like this. Any dog that looks enough like a Pit Bull to be mistaken for one needs a bullet in the head.

Where are you seeing a white english bulldog on that link?The only dog pic i see is a blue pit with the kid it killed laying on it.I have had 2 english bulldogs and I'll tell ya,if thats the only dog i gotta worry bout getting tore apart by i aint real worried.Them damn dogs are to retarded to even know how to bite somebody.

Percentage of dogs killing people is high. (high as He!!)

If you own a pit, me or my family members won't come visit you. If you come visit me and bring a pit bull, I will kill it.

my point with the dna statement was to prove that you didnt actually read the article. You only read the part that you thought fit into your way of thinking. And I see your still havent read it because if you did you would see were it said they took dna from the dogs to determined what breed it was and not just an uneducated guess at it which seems to be very common practice with some people. Keep beliveing what the goverment tells U.

For some reason its not showing a pic in the upper right hand corner when i look at it.Im sure once the dog/dogs killed someone and were quarantined it was determined by someone that knows more about dogs than me whether the dogs were pit or not.If a vet calls a dog a pit its a pit in my eyes.
