The Pit bull Problem
I am not doing this post just for pit bull abuse, I can\\\'t stand any animal being hurt, but for some reason pit bulls have a very bad rep. You hear about pit bulls on the news most of the time it\\\'s negative. Pit bull attack on baby, baby injured. This is the owner\\\'s fault for leaving the child unsupervised. People think worse and worse of pit bulls when stuff like this happens. Explains why so many places have banned pit bulls. Watching Pit bulls and parolees has surely opened my eyes to see how kind these dogs are. after they go through so much. These dogs could be dog-fighting dogs, most of the time they bounce back, some may be dog-aggressive though so through eyes of humans it\\\'s the dogs fault. This sure sickens me to think, the best breed in the world is getting put-down like this. I really think this isn\\\'t right and most of the times it is not the dog\\\'s fault at all! Like I said pit bulls are so kind and loving I hope to start a rescue for pit bulls when i\\\'M OLDER!! Anyways enough of the lecturing, the debate is.... Is it right ban this breed?

I live by the rule that bad owners make bad dogs, living in the UK, pibbles and their types are already banned, however they are still popping up all over the place, ive been lucky enough to meet a few when theyre still at the innocent age before theyre ruined by their ganster wannabe owners, i honestly believe, if this anti pitbull stuff can be stopped, start by educating the public with proper facts, show examples that these dogs can be good if brought up correctly, we recently had a tv show over here about staffies, and they just ripped the breed to shreds, the amount of staffs that were probably dumped after that program. The media needs top stop taking advantage of them too.

<i>"As I said, saying pit bulls are nice is not doing any harm."</i><br /> It does when the Pit Bull shows it's terrier side against small animals or children. :(<br /> Labeling a breed that IS dangerous (let's not deny it, a Pit Bull Terrier is extremely dangerous if it's instincts kick in) and is prone to DA, Small-Animal Aggression, and sometimes HA "always nice" and "nanny dogs" gives people the impression that they are a great dog for the average joe to bring into a house with cats and kids.<br /> When the dog shows it's natural side.... erpp... whoops! I guess Pit Bulls are "bad dogs" and "should be banned" now!<br /> <br /> EDIT: My cousin's ex's dog is being PTS :(<br /> Pit Bulls are banned in my city (as well as dogs like Amstaffs, Staffs, and dogs that look like these)<br /> My cousin is jealous and vindictive about the dude about issues I won't mention here, and as a way of screwing him over, called the city about his dog and falsely labeled it as "vicious". The dog is 8y.o APBT and has never hurt a human or an animal, but is being put down. It's a very sad issue.
<i>Yeah. Everybody is so offended when all pits are labeled rude, but not when they're labeled all nice. </i><br /> <br /> Because this isn't a current issue. There are no laws being passed about pit bulls because people label them all to be nice, there is no media hype and mis-reported facts, and there is no abuse of the animals for being called nice so someone wants a tough dog that will 'fight'.<br /> <br /> The labeling is not 'rude' either. The argument being made is the breed is inherently bad and needs to be illegal. The argument being made is that they will bite and kill people without warning. The label is not as innocent as pit bulls being rude.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Generalizations, blanket statements, yes they're bad. But they happen all the time, and certainly just not for pit bulls. As I said, saying pit bulls are nice is not doing any harm.
"But what I'm getting at is people saying that ALL pitbulls are sweet, loving, kind, loyal. Yes, and I bet SOME are. But you can't put that label on ALL Pit Bulls"<br /> I agree, this drives me up the wall. These people hate when people make blanket-statements like "all Pit Bulls bad", but have no problem calling all Pit Bulls "nanny dogs" or whatever<br /> <br /> Yeah. Everybody is so offended when all pits are labled rude, but not when they're labled all nice. But, yes, I also agree that some pit bulls are nice. But I'm still not a fat :3

xD I'm wondering what exactly you're reading in Shadow's posts that sound sarcastic? I'm assuming, that since you mentioned her being a 'sarcastic jerk' after her argumentative link, you find "I suggest you do more research into dogsbite.com before you go quoting it like its full of facts." sarcastic? I don't see it as sarcastic =x<br /> I see a completely valid, serious statement.<br />

Shadow, I've changed my moods, you just can't look past the first post. <br /> <br /> As for this debate, I'm done. Clayton, if you would like to continue, I'd love to do it privately. I can't say I debate often, so you'll have to excuse me:)
