Fight4yourights: Forget what you heard .......these are the facts......

Everyone should have the right to own the dog of their choice but because of irresponsible owners Media hype and poor breeding people have a negative perception about Pitbulls even though every legitimate animal organization states otherwise .

You can believe what you like but these are the facts.

1) Pitbulls by nature are not people aggressive, its either taught or the result of abuse or poor breeding.

2) Pitbulls were one of the most popular breeds and very well might be again, if I see ten dogs a day six are Pitbulls.

3) They are the most abused dogs in our country just with dog fighting alone then you add irresponsible or abusive owners im surprised there aren't ten times the amount of attacks.

4) Pitbulls have scored better than 121 other breeds in temperament tests only out scored by the Golden retriever visit the National Canine Research Council

5) Less than one tenth of one percent of Pitbulls attack anyone or show human aggression. there's an estimated 3.5 million Pitbulls in the U.S that means there's really five million but even with 3.5 million that means 35000 Pitbulls would have to attack to equal one percent of there population .

6) The media are blood suckers who feed off tragedy's and will do whatever it takes to boost ratings,lets face it what brings more viewers Collie attacks or Pitbull attacks.

7) Rampant cross breeding with large people aggressive breeds to achieve a certain look or color. That's how they went from 25 -60 lbs for over a hundred years to 55-135 lbs over the last 15 or 20 years.

8) Over breeding they are the most bred dog but the hardest to place in homes that's why our shelters are 40 to 60 percent Pitbulls.

Before you start pointing fingers do some research and get your facts straight.

                                         One more thing Pitbulls & genetics,

Are genetics a predetermining factor in a dog being human aggressive or not is widely debated but the truth is they were never bred to be people aggressive they were bred for animal aggression and one has nothing to do with the other.

look at the Vick dogs all except four are living as family pets,therapy dogs and living with other dogs and they were some of the most aggressive dog fighters who were faced with unspeakable abuse. And in case you think they were special cases here's another example of their ability to forgive The biggest dog fighting bust in U.S history these dogs have a bunch of scar's ,missing ears legs one has no lips but notice all of them are wagging their tails & all of these dogs as abused as they are have no aggression towards total strangers as they walk up and pick them up

If they are so dangerous why are almost all of the Pitbull rescues run by women ?
There's even one run by little people. Stop feeding into the frenzy and spreading the negativity open your eyes and start putting your energy into trying to help this loyal misunderstood breed .

Is the APBT the problem ?

I agree there's a problem but BSL means that the crimes of a small amount of dogs a year punish million's of dogs who haven't done anything wrong and never will.

I guarantee 90 percent of the dogs who attack are irresponsibly owned abused or trained by bad people to be bad not to mention back yard breeders cross breeding for looks & size instead of temperament and disposition cross breeding is a tricky thing.
That's the problem with half of the Pit bulls today they took people aggressive breeds and crossed them with Pit bulls a breed with extreme determination and drive and hung papers on them as Purebreds thats how Pit bulls went from 25 to 55 lbs for 150 years to 70 to 135 lbs in the last 10 or 15 years. What they did was create monsters that are " Dangerous" Not all of them are bad but the ones that are can do alot of damage.

Because of this allot of good dogs and their owners suffer.Pitbulls are a very loyal & loving breed by nature who are being exploited. There are 100 other ways to fix this problem tattoo id numbers on dogs that attach them to their owners Large fines for unregistered dogs when you register you have to bring your dog in an evaluation... anything except BSL...Are we going back to hanging women for witch craft next.

To say a whole breed is born bad is just ignorant and narrow minded. With the amount of Pit bulls that are abused fought trained or just encouraged to be bad Im surprised there's not more problems out there .

Bsl does nothing to address the real problem it just victimizes good dogs & responsible owners & it lets the guilty ones go out and buy another dog of another breed and repeat the whole thing over again. Do you truly think if Pit bulls were gone tomorrow ..there would be no more dog fights or people would stop abusing them.
Sounds like People might be the real problem not Pit bulls.

We have made mistakes in our country in the past and have come along way in just 300 years but BSL is like taking ten steps back,,it's the easy way out to blame a dog when the real problem is people. People fight the people abuse them people make them aggressive people poorly breed them, and now people want to blame them and kill them. Tell me how that's fair how its in Society's best interest... its a travesty and makes me ashamed of a country that I truly love.

It doesn't take a genius to know what they are doing in Denver Florida Ohio & Georgia is disturbing only sick people would do this
& the rest of the people who can put a stop to this madness and haven't are not much better. I thought everyone was innocent until proven guilty in this country.... where is due process ?

The Constitution of the United States guarantees us these rights, and countless thousands died to ensure us of these rights and every time we allow them be violated we dishonor all those who died for our country.In Ohio you can have Lions Tigers & Grizzly bears but Pitbulls are Illegal...... Ya that makes sense !
