Pittbulls kill 2 year old and 5 month old
![]() Quote:
How do you feel about PittBull's? I posted this because my wife shared this story with me and my son was just recently participating in a "read to sheltered dogs" event where you could adopt a dog (I know brilliant). I've heard the arguments that PittBull's get a bad wrap, but it seems time and time again they are the focal point of dogs who do these horrible acts. |

We have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi who is trained and relatively well behaved most times. Some times though she ignores us and does what she wants. It stems from her being a herding dog. It’s instinctual for her to be the one in control. Doesn’t make her a bad dog or a dog with no discipline, just one whose instincts take over at times. Pit Bulls are bred to fight and all the training in the world could make them passive, but the risk of that side coming out is always there.

Just socializing this type of dog is not enough. They need constant focused training and the owners need training as well on how to handle a large breed dog with that much power and how to spot aggressive body language so aggressive behavior can be stopped before it manifests into an incident. I volunteer at a rescue for pits and in my estimation only about 5% of the population is capable of being a good owner for one. There are so many things you have to learn about these dogs and so much specialized training required that you should really need a license to own one. You need to now what their specific triggers are (food, possession, noise, same sex, etc...) and you have to work with them on dealing with those triggers.

Pibble owners should be young, single, and live a quiet, solitary life.

Nah, just regulate breeding to start breeding some of the aggression out of them and require a license that can only be earned through rigorous training classes to own one. No reason to outlaw a breed that has been around since the 1800s.

I feel like we need a faster form of darwinism, though. Maybe we should put big electrified fountains in town squares with signs that say, "Don't go into the water."

I gave you a thumbs up because what you suggested is a good idea. My only question is why have them? What does a Pit Bull provide outside of being a status symbol?

My neighborhood now full of kids that are 2-5 years old. I'd just hate to see something bad happen to one of them because the 110lb woman can't control her dog that is 80lbs of muscle. Plus there has been a few occasions that people have dumped pits in the country and they wander into my neighborhood. |
