I have 2 pitbulls and I dont live anywhere near the ghetto.
I have a male and Female and they are wonderful dogs. They are completely obedient and not angry at all. They play exceptionally nice with our 2 cats also.
The only time a pit will get uneasy is if 2 males are around eachother(as with every other breed) or if they sense a struggle or fear in their owner. What Im trying to say is they are VERY loyal. They dont like strange people coming around AT ALL. If they sense their owners in danger they freak out. Then yeah its time for something more than just a 2x4 with nails.
The scary thing about pits is that they have no sense of pain. It sounds cruel but you cant just smack a pit on their ass when they do something bad, you have to hit them way harder then you think you should. They think your playing with them if you do otherwise.
All in all, They are a great breed if their brought up like a normal dog. If your ghetto, starve them outside and when you do see them you hit them.. Yeah theyre going to tear your head off. Any dog will act that way, its just that pitts are so strong that theyll hurt someone. Its a shame they are conceived to be crazy dogs that eat nothing but humans. They are very very nice dogs that are loyal to their owner and listen very well!!
I suggest you spend some time with one(who was brought up well) before you stereotype them! I love my pitts! Theyre so playful!

You're kidding right? 1 puppy is left with a baby and chews off its toes and you're saying that is reason enough that pit bulls should be shot on sight? How about the novel idea of being responsible for things and not leaving a child unprotected from an animal that doesn't understand that what it is "playing" with isn't a toy.
It makes me sick just how violent and disgusting some of you humans are. "Bait it" or "shoot it with your gun". How about you turn the finger around and look at yourself and your own race and tell me about how human's deserve to be treated only try applying a little consistency to your judgement this time.
How many times have we heard of humans deliberately treating dogs and other animals as objects of torture? While you're thinking about that consider the fact that we're a supposedly intelligent race so the decision to carry out such acts was made with "conscience" and understanding.
While you're at it have a look at how some humans treat other humans and tell me that by your logic everyone of us should be shot on sight or baited!

Its not just one though. There are more violent pitt attacks than any other dog. Pitt attacks are ALWAYS serious.
I dont think they should be shot, but I do think they should be illegal to breed and own.

I find that interesting but I think your retort ignores my point and I also would not use the word attack to describe what that puppy did. How many attacks do you think humans have made on dogs, other innocent animals and other humans?
Also my summarised interpretation of your reasoning is that it should be illegal to own anything that may attack in a serious manner. Do you think that guns should be legal to own? Ever here of a gun attack that wasn't serious? I'm sure you can see where I am going and I'm happy to hear a much less violent and cruel approach to what I agree is a problem but I don't agree with the attitude towards the problem that most have displayed here.
I know this goes into much more detail and may even be congruent to your unexpressed thoughts but I believe that all animals should require a permit. Of course it could be argued that begets the necessity for a permit to breed anything and turns into a whole other matter but I still feel that the responsibility should be put back onto the owners and the right to own should be controlled. It'd sure help reduce the amount of strays as well as assist in the reduction of animal neglect, mistreatment and abuse.

I agree, pits as a breed should be legally required to be castrated/spayed and then the breed should die out. If I'm at the dog park and someone brings a pit, I usually make sure we are far from it and I've seen pitbulls be playing and fine and suddenly go off viciously for no reason. No thanks.

Look at case studies of any of the cities and jurisdictions where a pit ban was initiated. The governing polititians have never been able to statistically prove the need of the bans. These bans are almost always emotionally driven and are implemented by virtue of public immage.
That is not even taking into the considerations the number of reports filed mislabeling the offending breed of dog as a pit only to be changed later. People see a dog attack and automatically cry pit bull. It's sad. It's mass hysteria. I've seen people mistake pugs for a baby pit bull! The majority of dog-unsavy population will easilly mistake a hyper lab for a pit under the correct circumstances. For crying out loud, I had a person once ask me if the vizsla I was walking was a pit bull!

I would agree with you if there was some sort of structure in pet ownership/licensing.
[QUOTE]However, pittbulls are an over aggressive breed WAY more than most dogs.
