Pit Bulls are an unpredictable breed well suited for guarding but not for pets. I've seen too many incidents to ever be an advocate for this breed. I hope they ban them as pets. For the sake of the breed and it's hapless victims.
I tend to agree.
And to those who say it is not the breed it is the owner. Well I guess that tigers should be allowed to be pets too. It would not be a tiger's fault if it attacked, it would be the tainer's fault, right? Oh tigers are such nice little kitties! Here kitty kitty kitty ...
Where do we draw the line? How about a GSD and timber wolf cross? Sounds cool to me.
Why are tigers not pets and cats are? If you had a huge 300-pound house cat do you think that it might be of concern?
Some animals are too primal and too strong to keep as "normal" pets. I think that pit bulls fall into this category because of their breeding history; meaning how and for what purpose they were breed.
