now with a title like that half the people attracted to this post will be pitbull haters. i want all to know i fully SUPPORT pitbulls. i’ve grown up with them and NEVER once been bitten. at one time we even had 7! I firmly believe the saying “PUNISH THE DEED NOT THE BREED”. ANY dog has the capability of being ‘vicious’ but would classify a dog as viscious if it would let a young girl dress it up in her clothes without so much as a growl? I’ve seen the dog chase a kitten one way through the house and the next minute that same kitten(still breathing and not covered in blood and bite marks) chase the pitty back through the house. anyways i got on the topic of pitties because on facebook I’m a ‘fan’ of a group called ‘Save ontario’s dogs’ and they posted a link to a pitbull attack story. its a MUST READ for pitbull fans(you’ll see why when you check it out)

so i got lookign into other pitty stats.
these people test dogs on temperament. if you’ll notice pitbulls(and related breeds-staffordshire terrier, american pitbull terrier and bull terrier, ect) rank higher that most common breeds. most are 80-90%. some common breeds dip down to 70% so i’d say once again ‘punish the deed not the breed’ makes sense.

i hope we can end BSL(breed specific lesgislation). For all the dogs that have been killed needlessly because they were born to the wrong parents. we don’t kill muslims because a few are terrorists so why should we ‘racially profile’ dogs?
