HUGE difference between CONTROLLED BREEDING and GENOCIDE.

I'm not against harsher penalties against those who breed fighting dogs or dogs that are intentionally aggressive.

WHOOP-A-DEE-DOO.
That'll do NOTHING to stop the problem.

The problem with the argument against pitbulls is that it can be applied to any dog - and most pets and farm animals.
I've personally seen problems with all dogs, except the pitbull. But I also know one person who ended up in the hospital and another person who lost part of a finger due to cat bites (in both cases serious infection was the problem). I've been stepped on by a horse and had another one squeeze me against a tree, seen another person bitten (for no reason I could see) and another person mule-kicked by a horse. Granted, the person who got kicked was tormenting the horse and deserved it, but ... I've seen people butted by goats, bitten by parakeets, bitten by parrots (until I saw that and looked it up I didn't realize parrots had a reputation for biting, and beaks strong enough to crack a Brazil nut), even people bitten by a hamster.
The only pet I can think of that can't directly harm anyone are fish, unless they're carnivorous piranhas.
And animals don't have to physically maul you to threaten your health and life, as the people with cat bites would tell you.
I do think there are breed-specific characteristics in dogs, but pitbulls seem to be on the better end.
Personally if I were going to get another dog I'd get a standard poodle, as they're intelligent, friendly, calm and easily trainable. In terms of trainability, of the things that I've read, they outscore every other breed. OTOH dogs that are bred for a high prey drive - terriers and herders, and dogs that have to act semi-independently under harsh conditions like sled dogs, have a reputation for poor trainability.
Of all the dogs I'd make a point to stay away from, and maybe even outlaw, the presa Canario is at the top of my personal list.

The two pitbulls I've met in my life are both sweeties.
Damn, are you ever out of practice on arguments.
Cars are necessary, pit bulls are NOT. And since you met a whole two of them I'm sure that makes you qualified to report on their behaviors.
Cars are not "necessary," you fucking twat. That's just pure stupidity on your part. Cars did not exist before 1886, so to claim them as necessary is utterly retarded.

I think you can rightfully criticize Wish's arguments, and maybe even her behavior, but posting a slur against her female parts is disrespectful to everyone else here who has female parts.

It don't bother me, that statement is quite easily the dumbest thing I've read here in years. 
If you think they ain't necessary, then don't ever call an ambulance, cop, and don't EVER buy any food store bought.

This is a perfect example of why regular people should not have pits..
The whole neighborhood KNEW this dogs were dangerous and could do nothing about it. Emotionalism gets in the way of intelligence EVERY TIME....

I have never owned a car, or a pitbull. Perhaps that makes me unqualified to comment on either of them, but I can look at statistics, and think one is a widespread problem that for some reason everyone just ignores, and that the other might be fearmongering.
As for the insults, sorry to see that was said. I don't come around this board much anymore.
