all animals are potentially dangerous they all have there defense mechanisms to condemn a breed because they bite hard when provoked is ridiculous, condemn the dog not the breed.

I have seen pits on both ends of the spectrum. I know people that have pits that are just as friendly as any lab that I've ever seen, and I have also known people that had pits that were complete maniacs. I honestly think that a lot of it is the way you raise them. They are just so notorious. Have you ever seen what the dog whisperer can do to a pitbull? haha

Please present your ideas, thoughts, etc WITHOUT the unnecessary profanity.
Continued abuse will result in my removing posts.
If that does not solve the problem, I will be forced to consider other administrative actions.
PLEASE, STOP THE PROFANITY!!!

I am sorry karl.My post has gone right over your heads pitbulls are an exotic animal that simple.So are mastiffs wolf dogs german shepards and many other breeds.Exposeing children outside of your home with out your personal supervision or in the home is a strike at all keepers.I KEEP PIT BULLS AS WELL AS COBRAS.MY GRANDAUGHTER IS NOT GOING TO PLAY WITH ETHER ONE.IF you think they are a normal breed you are just an accident waiting to happen respect the abilities of the breed not some simple fact that they are on the most part like a friendly teddy bear.They are the best dog on the planet to me and I have scene what a nice friendly dog can do when pravoked .A pitbull is every bit a dangerous as a lion on the right day.I know you people who advocate this breed will never listen so oh well when your dog kills a child you can blame the breeder or anything except your responsibilty to keep that child safe from your exotic pet.SAome times I think there should be license to be a human.

Getting back to the original subject, I saw both programs and was horrified by the mindless psychobabble given by people with no credentials to do so! Animal Planet did a fine job of painting any who keep reptiles as psycho sickos. By doing so they are destroying any credibility to our arguments against restrictive legislation. Irresponsible opinions presented as fact play right into the legislator's hands. After all, they're the experts in it!

Does it really matter at this point .We are painted the color that we have created for our selves by the inability to come togather on any subject of importance.The shows make me sick and we need to fight back but now that we are all mentaly unstable psychotic herpers where we stand does not matter.Propaganda has done its job and done it well.I would love to see some answers on this subject.

Define "pit bull", Pictigastger. Do you even know that there is NO BREED that is officially named "pit bull"? Do you know that this is a MEDIA term used to refer to any and EVERY short-coated, muscular dog or nowadays, any dog that does something perceived as "bad"? If you call every dog meeting those criteria a "pit bull", naturally it will appear that "pit bulls" are involved in a disproportionate number of attacks on people or animals. Do you also know that many, many other breeds of dogs that you probably consider "safe" were also "bred to kill" SOMETHING, including every Terrier breed? That Yorkshire Terriers were bred for the blood sport of "rat pitting", where one little dog would be tossed into a pit with several hundred large rats and bets taken to see how many rats the dog would kill before it itself got killed? Can you provide any scientific basis for your claim that "pit bulls" have larger brains than other dogs, and that this makes them more dangerous? I'm sure that my biologist friend and canine expert would love to see your sources and review their credibility.
The truth is that the public perception of "pit bulls" was generated back in the '80's, when the HSUS converted from an animal welfare organization to an animal RIGHTS organization, and put forth an effort to make it socially unacceptable to keep or breed certain animals by stirring up negative perception of those animals. One of their tools was a popular tv show, the "Lou Grant Show", and the HSUS were credited with providing information about "pit bulls" and dogfighters for the show's writers, which including the myths that "pit bulls" had "locking jaws", that they were all "bred to kill" and that they could just "go crazy" without warming. Up to that point, few folks outside the rural South had even heard of a "pit bull", and suddenly every punk, gang member, wannabe bad***, and other dregs of humanity wanted to get their hands on one and start breeding them. The media has done everything that they can since then to ensure that the "pit bull" remained in the spotlight, always highlighting the negative, never the positive, counting on exaggeration to fan the flames to mythic proportions. Now, every dog that someone is scared of, or bitten by, is reported as a "pit bull", no matter if it actually was a Standard Poodle! This is EXACTLY the case with snakes; people who "know" that there are these horrible monsters out there called "rattlesnakes" are scared to death of them, and of course, every snake they see now is a "rattlesnake" or a "water mocassin", and every behavior they see is an "attack". Ask the Average Joe to identify that big snake he saw in his yard, and what will he tell you it was? It was either one of the aforementioned snakes, or now, it could have been a killer "Burmese python"! Ask the same person to identify the dog he saw chasing his cat and guess what? He'll tell you it was a "pit bull", since it's been so deeply ingrained in his brain that "pit bulls" are the only dogs that do bad things. He cannot conceive of it being anything else, just like he can't fathom that the snake was a Rat Snake or a Garter.

I was an Animal Control Specialist for Broward County (the dog pound) working the “bite” department for over two years. When dog fights got busted, the animals were impounded as evidence until trial. If the owners gave up the dogs (If they didn’t, they got charged to kennel them until they got out of prison or were found not guilty) they were euthanized. Same with drug busts, we got the dogs. Sometimes bad *karl* trained guard dogs. Rotty, dobe, real pits, you name it. One of my absolute favorites was a killer pit named “Bozo” that was an absolute dog killing tank. Sweetest dog I ever cared for and loved me. Had him almost the whole time I worked there. One day they put him down behind my back because they knew I really had gotten attached to him. As great as he was, Archie is right on. That was not a normal dog, more like a sweet lovable jaguar. I’d rather see him dead than go out to a home where he was not treated like the dangerous animal he actually was. People first. Only trained keepers with specialized housing and maintenance protocol should keep them, same as venomous snakes. It’s just another example of people using poor judgment and a lack of personal responsibility that ruins things for those that do it right. Truth is, those that do are a very rare few and far far far between. Sad but reality, and leads directly to the thinking that it requires broad all encompassing baby sitter legislation because so many people are just plain stupid. Not fair to the intelligent minority but so much easier on authority to safe guard the masses. The people that smooch their pet lions are ruining it for the rest of us. They are nuts and there’s nothing wrong in calling them out within the hobby and policing ourselves and letting everybody know we don’t condone any of that, that is not what we do, not who we are, not representative of us at all. Those people are shunned among other keepers. Can we present that image to the public? Each one can do their part. Represent the positive image at all times.
