I know this is a touchey subject, as I realize most people love their dogs, also I have nothing against pitbulls / am stafs. I think there a cool looking animal.

The way I see it is they are just to much dog for the average owner. They are much more capable then other breeds. You need to be an EXTRA responsible dog owner to keep this type of dog. This is clearly not the case.
Im a firm believer in, if you cannot control your dog at ALL times, then you shouldn't have it. This is why you can rarely ever blame the dog.

Alot of people are not willing to make this kind of comittment or devote this kind of time, because they have other things going on in there life, and also alot of them just dont know much about basic dog behavior in general.
Seems like people just dont want to do their homework/ research before they buy, not just dogs, but most animals in general.

Most dog owners I talk to at the park were I walk, dont really know squat about there own breed of dog. They just have them.
Like the saying goes, there are dog owners, and there are dog people.

I couldn't agree more. Dogs will almost always give some kind of signal whether they are scared, stressed, excited or whatever. It's our job as dog owners to read their body language and understand it.

I tend think of pits like piranha. Both have the potential to kill but it doesn't mean they are all murders. They do what comes natural to them

Piranhas don't attack by themselves.. they need the whole pack of piranhas to be aggressive.:)

True but it only takes one to start the frenzy or injury and possibly death. If a piranha takes a chunk out of your body and just so happens to bite a major blood vessel. You will bleed out in a matter of minutes. Many members keep piranha and face this danger annually when they put their hands in the tank.

Domiedee, there is no comparison.

We are living in an " civilized, urban or quasi urban" envionment.

Our children and elderly do not come in conatct with schools of Piranhas :). Unfortunately we don't live where they are, nor do our kids bathe in the amazon....

I love pits, as i love all working/ guard dogs, and find bad ownerhsip to blame,solely.....but let us not facilitate..

The only similarity i often think about, is that it is quite often the same type of person who keeps both, for bad reasons.

See you misunderstood me I'm talking piranhas in General. Your thinking of it in a wild setting when in reality it can happen in either wild or captivity. If a piranha felt cornered or in danger they will defend themselves same as a dog would. I've recently seen a thread someone made of what member's piranha have chewed thru and a few members stated they would think twice about putting their hand in the tank.


I agreed with the fact that they get the bad rep from bad owners and people who keep them for the wrong reasons.
