No they shouldn't be banned and no they most certainly aren't horrible animals. Any dog, no matter the breed, can have a bad temperament. If this is the case it's the owner's responsibility to be extra careful and train them appropriately.

I work at a shelter and we get pitbulls all the time. The mean ones are this way because they've been abused or neglected by people. Many of them turn into very sweet dogs once they're shown some love and care. I could train a poodle to be vicious if I wanted to.

My German shepherd mix will take biscuits from my mouth. If she goes too fast I say "gentle" and she backs up right away and takes it gently from me. She does this because this is the way she was trained.


Damn right I'm good in bed, I can sleep for hours!

You love it. You know you do.

Pitbulls are already banned in the UK.

Is it legal to own a wolf in the USA?


Those who don't believe in evolution haven't benefited from it.

I use to think Pit Bulls all were mean and any Pit Bull that had been fought was beyond redeeming. But that was before I started watching The Dog Whisperer. He has several Pit Bulls in his pack and they use to be fighters and are now happily living nonagressive with other dogs. Granted it would take a strong patiant person to retrain them. But The Dog Whisperer has proven it can be done and he has changed my view of Pit Bulls.

They banned them here in Canada around a year ago, but people still own them, that had them, now they must wear a muzzle at all times in public...............and can still buy them from people who breed quietly..........if you get my drift, so even if yours are banned................., it does not mean you have to get rid of your own pit bull, as said above regarding the muzzle.


But, in my opinion, its not always the dogs fault.........its how it is brought up by its owner.

Pit bulls are known for security guards here at factories, they are on their own, outside, 24/7 etc..............they know to kill!

German Shepards are used for our police dogs here, they are also trained by the officers command............

I do not and never have blamed any kind of dog for what it does.................it has to do with the owner.

Also, no matter how friendly a dog is.............never leave a child unattended with it, they are like you and me, when we want to be left alone or not bugged..................they will attack.................so many people do not realise or care enough to find out info on dogs and cats.


I love it when a plan comes together!

Annski's opinion > anyone else's in this thread.

Life experience owns those without.


Every moral has a story;
And every story has an end.

not a pit bull...but a guy (in florida) recently bought a guard/attach dog for protection.

paid $10,000.00.

the first week home it attacked his mother...was going for her neck when they stopped him.

now, I do not know his mother, but I am guessing that was a waste of $10,000.00.

(My opinion...stupid people should not own attack dogs..pitbulls or whatever)


Irrefutable logic:
