Pit bulls only as dangerous as their owners, ASPCA tells city
Saying that a dog is only as dangerous as his owner is like saying
a child is only as dangerous as his parents. Dog activists want to
do everything they can to have a dog treated like a human so that certain breeds are not discriminated against. It is a fact that all dogs bite. It is also a fact that when a Pit Bull bites it is a more viscious attack. There is no such thing as a perfect parent and there is no such thing as a perfect dog owner. We all know that all dogs bite, so all of us who have children feel very uncomfortable having a Pit Bull in the neighborhood. Especially when they accidently get loose running out the front door. You can not blame all these attacks on the owners because many of them are good dog owners.
Pit Bulls are dangerous because when they bite, they clamp down hard and naturally do not want to stop. Should this dog be accepted as a pet? This means I have to trust that the Pit Bull owner living next door to me will not let his dog loose. NO WAY!
I don't trust anyone with any dog and I certainly DO NOT want a Pit Bull in my neighborhood! This is definitely risky! THat is why the insurance companies do not want to offer insurance to Pit Bull owners or they want very high fees. I say, "Thank God for the insurance companies. This will help keep people from choosing Pit Bulls. A note to the Pit Bull breeders and activists: If you would stop promoting this breed as a good family dog, maybe we would not have such a problem. Face it. It is not the best breed because most dog owners can not be in 100% control of their dogs. I don't want to visit any ones house who owns a Pit Bull. Not after what I saw they did to Nick Folley (google Nick Folley and see for yourself) and not after I experienced first hand, my own sons face being ripped off!
It is too risky for our children. There are plenty of other great dogs out there!!! Why pick a Pit Bull? To put more children and people at risk? I don't get it. I love my dogs but children come first!
