Yet another dog attack.

When I was a kid all the nasty boys had Dobermans , then the next gen of bad boys had Rottweilers, now it seems the thug wanabees have Pitt Bulls.

Maybe there should be an attitude test before allowing a dog purchase, just sayin. Sure Poodles bite more often, but I would have less fear of a thug with one.

I think there should be, absolutely. Breeding should be clamped down on as well.

Yet in the other article they're apparently Pitbulls.

"Tyreman would not say what breed the animals were."

A single hog hunt would likely deter almost anyone from wanting a PB for a pet.
I have had some great ones in my time but I always kept the reality of the viciousness of my hog hunts with them in the back of my mind.

However, I don't agree at all with any government telling anyone what dog they can own.(Ontario)

I like this post the best.

Shame he didn't just have a gun to prevent him from being eaten alive in his own home.
Oh well he would have had to go thru the BS of storage laws, and ammo laws, discharge laws, yada yada.

Why would anybody who lives among people want to have this risk around? Of course not all pitts are killers but enough of them are to make them a menace.

• 86% of attacks that induce bodily harm
• 81% of attacks to children
• 89% of attack to adults
• 76% of attacks that result in fatalities
• 86% that result in maiming
• Embody 9.2%+ of the total dog population

since we are in canada this is better info

and i would also venture to say that alot of the so called pitbull attacks are mistaken identity
i have first hand experience
i was given a ticket and also a warning for owning a pitbull that was not fixed and not muzzeled by bylaw officers and they were trying to sieze my dog
animal control came to my house on another occasion there was a complaint of me walking a pitbull without a muzzle
i told them i did not have a pitbull they said i was lying that they saw it the back yard
to make a long story short i owned a %100 purebred Boxer i had to pay for gentic testing for court
so the people who are in charge of saying what is and isnt a pitbull have no clue

i'll just let you two [terrym and last5oh-302] go at it for awhile. happy new year
