You consider yourself a responsible administrator? Shame on you!
There's a big difference between monsterfish and killer dogs. There's nothing friendly from dogs bred to kill. Try telling that to the families victimized by these vicious dogs.
Your reasoning is perverse, irresponsible, and may be criminally misinformed.
I don't know where you are getting your information but pit bulls have been bred for ages not to be aggressive towards humans. Before a dog fight the dogs are released by people other than the owner meaning the dog has to have interaction with someone they are not familiar with. If a dog in these fights bites one of the people to my understanding they are put down immediately. I have also seen countless episodes of Animal Cops on discovery where they are seizing dogs from what looks like a dog fighting type house and they will go in and grab maimed dogs that are covered in blood. The dogs on very few occasions show agression towards the animal cops and some even come out wagging their tails.
I cannot defend the breed against other animals espcially male dogs. My Pit is very dog agressive. But that is why I never I mean never let him out of the house off his leash. It is the law in VA to have your dog on a leash anyways.
It all stems back to responsible ownership. These dogs wind up in the wrong hands a lot of the time and it really makes me sad. I have seen it first hand when I was in college. The towny crack heads and they were literally crack heads had an underground fighting ring. They treated the dogs horribly. You can change a cocker spaniels disposition by beating it, not feeding it, locking it in a dark kennel etc but the pit bull breed has the physical characteristics and gameness that they are after.
I know my post is probably scattered thoughts but it really bothers me when I hear about Pit Bulls being vicious or evil dogs. For the rest of my life if I am going to have a dog as a companion it will be a pit bull. I have never seen a dog with so much personality, loyalty, and intelligence. He would undoubtedly follow me into a burning building to be with his master. My dog Grimace just turned 6 this past November and when I think of him getting old and dying I almost have a mid life crisis that is how much he means to me. Responsible owners of pits know exactly why other owners love them.
There is something to be said about all the "Pit Bull" attacks that are dogs of a mixed breed. One of my buddy's has a pit mixed with something unknown. His dog is close to 100 lbs. It closely resembles a pit bull but is looks to be mixed with mastiff, boxer, unknown dogs. If his dog were to attack someone it would surely be chalked up as another vicious pit bull attack.
Kevin I swear he only looks intimidating. He would not hurt a fly
Ask Li how much he loves Grimace
