Since that comment was posted, there have been even more dog fatalities in the US -- I think the number is now 28 or 29 -- and pit bulls are responsible for about 75% of those deaths. Last month, a family pit bull that had never been mistreated and had never shown any aggressive tendencies killed a newborn in Jacksonville, FL, and a woman in Tennessee was killed by her pet pit bull that she had for 8 or 9 years and had raised from a puppy. It had never shown any aggressive tendencies either. Women who have pit bulls are always unattractive ghetto or trailer trash types, and men who own pit bulls are trying to compensate for what they DO NOT have in their pants which, I've no doubt, is the case with you, TJ!

Dog fighting is outlawed in the US. Now, there is nothing a pitbull can do legally that another dog cannot do better. I've met tons of them, and way too many are aggressive toward other dogs.

Pits do NOT operate on the pack mentality. Just because your pit bull makes you laugh now doesn't mean that she's not going to turn on you one day, just like other people's pit bulls turned on them. It's not just a "few" ignorant people. Less than 2% of the dogs in the US are pit bulls and pit mixes, yet, they account for more than 75% of dog attacks and 65% of deaths by dog in the US. There are a LOT more ignorant owners of Labradors, Collies, and other dogs than there are ignorant owners of pit bulls, but you don't read about Labradors and Collies attacking and killing people all the time. At one time, any pit bull that showed aggression toward humans was culled (killed) and not allowed to procreate, but that stopped happening 20-30 years ago. Today's pit bulls are the result of negligent, defective breeding and it is no longer safe to have them as pets. I wish you had given your full name so that when your loving, humorous pit bull tears you to pieces, we will know it's you! To KMA: Are you so daft that you can’t comprehend what KlondikeSam said?

I have a one year old pitbull that i adopted from the human society and i absolutely love her they have a sense of humor like no other dog breed. She IS CONSTANTLY Making me laugh and smile and we are inseparable. Why punish the breed for a few bad dogs. when i was younger i got bit by a black lab why dont we ban this breed to. the only reason pitbulls are recognized as viscious dogs is because they are used for dogfighting. I have a one year old cousin who is over all the time and he loves my pitbull they are always together and i will not have people put a breed ban on these dogs because of a few ignorant people in this world To klondike sam: I agree with you that pitbulls are not like other dogs.

I trained and handled dogs in the military and later in Alaska and I can say, with first-hand knowledge, that pit bulls are NOT normal dogs. They do NOT operate on the pack mentality in that they will attack an alpha dog in a pack and no other dog breed will do that. This is a result of breeding to ensure that a dog that has fought and been defeated by a dog will fight that same dog again. Pit bulls will turn on an owner just as quickly and without provacation as it will turn on an alpha dog in a pack, no matter how well trained or how well that owner has raised and treated the dog. So far this year in the United States, 19 people have been killed by dogs and pit bulls were responsible for 11 of those deaths even though pits make up a very small percentage of the dog population. After working with few pit bulls and learning first-hand that they are not like other dogs, I refused to work with them and I discourage anyone from owning pit bulls - especially if there are children in the home.
