Looks like I'm definitely not a dog person

There's so many attacks from pit bulls and other "fighter breeds" each year. Also, the owner just doesn't know what happened to their well tempered dog.

How many of these attacks will have to happen before people smarten up.

Pit bulls belong in junk yards and mongolian dog fighting arenas.

If thats the case then why do so many people own a car. Cars are probably the most leading cause of death in the US. Or why do people spend there money on things like cigarretts. I mean if they keep smoking them there eventually going to kill them.
Seriously think of how many people own pit bulls and other fighting breeds and then see how very few of those dogs actually have attacked there owner.

Good question. I'm still a cat person though. Always have been, always will be.

For most of us a car is a necessity, a big ****ing pit bull isn't. I just can't see why people(especially people in the city) are so hell bent on owning a dog like a doberman or pitbull. It's just asking for trouble.

I've personally known several pitbulls who were thought to be completely harmless....but later on showed extreme aggressive behaviour. I'm not saying all pitbulls are violent.

Which is more likely to attack(and cause serious injury)? A golden retriever or a pitbull. They've been breed over the centuries as fighting animals. It's in their blood and it's not their fault. They just don't belong in an urban area.

Cars necessary for some, and pit bulls aren't as necessary? Never thought of it that way. Good one, bouncer. As for why some are so hell bent on owning pit bulls? Protection perhaps? Also, it seems like people like to walk these kinds of dogs without a leash to prove a point. Trying to look big and bad. Trying to make people fear them. I hate that.

Also, now that I think about it, you have more control over a car than a pit bull anyway. At least you know yourself when you're controlling a car (provided you're sober). Unless you're that pet psychic lady from that Animal Planet channel, perhaps you're all set when it comes to reading a pit bull's mind and knowing what will make it tick.

I'm definately a cat person, but I generally don't have much problems with dogs.
I just wouldn't want to own one because they smell, always walk in your way, loose hair and usually they're not as cute as cats. They don't come sit on your lap.

Im a dog person all the way. Dont like cats at all.
