NEVER TRUSTED one of them though, and saw a couple explode on innocent dogs. They are a liability to their owners and others around them, and for the ASPCA and other groups to adopt these animals out and make excuses for the breeding to aggression problem is nonsense.<br /> Would I ever own a pit? It is possible, I think I can handle any breed, but my mind would be open and anticipating situations constantly.<br />Can the pit be tamed? Sure, any breed can. The problem is with the morons that keep and breed this time bomb to BE a time bomb.Dog Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376192910646365366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-71160700651234704882014-07-23T10:51:59.909-04:002014-07-23T10:51:59.909-04:00Loved the article.

When I came home it was clear this hound mix was a pit bull. <br /><br />Knowing that I had a young child and would have many others around the house, I took the dog back. This was hard on all of my family and was a difficult decision.<br /><br />The Humane Society worker admitted that the "Hound Mix" claim was a lie. He said that if they told the public it was a pit bull it would never be adopted. When I stopped at the front counter on the way out the lady at the desk told me that I would not be permitted to adopt a dog their again as I had returned an adopted dog. I told her that that was not a problem as I did not intend to adopt from them again.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13877910729727346340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-72972685084795757052011-10-26T03:55:14.838-04:002011-10-26T03:55:14.838-04:00Oh My God!!

We ...Oh My God!! What a tragedy. What a travesty.<br />We have owned 2 pits and my Jacks are much more likely to bite than they were. But then Tiger was 80 lbs and Bonnie was 65. My Jacks are 14 and 16. And yes, I do muzzle when we're in tight places and I do occasionally get bit.<br /><br />Tiger, Tiger in the night. <br />Tiger, Tiger burning bright.<br /><br />All pet dogs should be neutered. Why, just cause you (the public) are idiots and can't manage your dogs or your kids.<br />Pat, the people should be spayed and neutered too.<br /><br />Debi (who drives a school bus) and the TX JRTsseekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054814598250286797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-1126698893189686402011-10-26T02:59:49.745-04:002011-10-26T02:59:49.745-04:00I can't speak to the context of the following ...I can't speak to the context of the following but here is a moment of zen on the matter, these statements are within 4 days of Darla's death.<br />http://www.opposingviews.com/i/society/animal-rights/husband-forgives-pit-bull-killing-pregnant-wife-darla-napora<br /><br />"Greg Napora says that he forgives Gunner for killing his wife and unborn child because it was “just a freak accident…They (their two pit bulls) are the most loving animals I have ever had in my life.

As far as my comment, I can't improve upon what one commenter on the news story said <br /><br />"I have compassion for that animal, but would never trust it.<br /><br />Most pit rescues are trying to take care of the overflow without addressing the source. The sources of unwanted, mistreated, poorly-bred pits are immune to education and outreach. Making pits a middle class dog will do nothing. You must support mandatory spay and neuter, so that many fewer pit bulls die in our shelters and those that live are rarer, more expensive,and better kept. I haven't seen a better solution.
