Re: “Pit Bulls And Profiling”
eb30 - I think you were missing the point entirely and that it is the human behind the dog that causes it to act dangerous or not. Dogs, of any breed, raised with owners who love and train them WILL BE great dogs to have around. Likewise, thugs, negligent and just plain irresponsible dog owners (ie. those who buy a dog because the kids want one only to leave it neglected in the yard) will raise these dogs that end up being a menace in our societies. You use the argument about pit bulls were bred to fight. So maybe we should target all terriers who were bred to chase/kill and bulldogs who were bred to take down large prey, or the newfoundlands who were also bred to protect livestock, as were many other breeds you don't feel the need to address. I assume retrievers are dogs that you would also deem as safe dogs since they were bred to retrieve, then why are they number 2 for dog bites in Seattle, WA. Obviously their breeding has not prevented these dogs from biting, again, it gets back to owner responsiblity. Oh, and please show me the gene that makes a dog aggressive. If this is in fact true, then we would have a hell of a lot more pit bull attacks since they are a highly popular dog. Yes, your argument doesn't fly and rather than knowing dogs you are obviously just re-hashing someone else's weak argument.
Is not a chihuahua that kills a new born just as dangerous as an alleged 'pitbull' who ravages a person? So why don't we make blanket legislation that deems all dogs as dangerous. Yes, this sounds stupid, doesn't it. Just as stupid as deeming an entire breed or a few breeds as dangerous!

Re: “Pit Bulls And Profiling”
Interesting post and I assume you were trying to be witty stating your fear of Staffordshire bull terriers based on one incident. Again, it all comes down to owner responsibility. I hear news reports of people being attacked by pit bulls or alleged pit bulls, however, I own two who happen to be the sweetest breed of dog that I have ever owned. Oh, and both of my dogs have earned their Canine Good Citizen titles and my Zoe is now certified as a therapy dog. It all comes down to the human - yet again.
