It is exactly as Sheik said, the OWNERS need to be accountable.
You should not own a dog (ANY dog) if you cannot control it.
Agree with both statements BUT what good does it do to say the 'owner is accountable' after his/her Pit Bull has just killed a child?
The problem with Pit Bulls (and why they should be treated differently than other dogs) is their combination of incredible power and jaw strength. In addition they have a mindset unmatched by other breeds. This dog takes no prisoners. When they get violent............they have just one thing on their minds: KILL!!!!!!
To even compare this dog to Shepherds or Dobermans is assinine.
Sure those breeds are capable of biting someone. No argument. But Pit Bulls are in class by themselves.
I don't know whether you have ever witnessed an attack by a Pit Bull but I can tell you from personal experience it is absolutely terrifying.
When I was a kid I saw 3 grown men beat on a Pit Bull that was attacking our neighbours' 7 year daughter. They hit it with hockey sticks and shovels and the
dog didn't even flinch.
It's all well and good to say that "dogs should be licensed.........and owners held accountable, etc.", but you must be living in Nirvana if you actually believe that will prevent Pit Bull attacks from occurring. It also won't prevent the wrong kind of people from acquiring these dogs. What you'll find is an asshole attending whatever course necessary, and simply pretending that he is not an asshole until he gets his license. Then once he does....... it's back to being an asshole.

The problem with pitbulls is the media sensationalizing every god damn attack. You never really hear about german shephards, pr even chiuahuah's attacking people but IT DOES happen. Why are they so focused on pitbulls.... because it gets a reaction, that is why.
Wrong Sasha.
It's because whey Pit Bulls attack people............people die!
