I don't understand why people keep these animals. It's insane. Everyone thinks THEIR dog won't do this...

Tell that to the people that have been hurt by these 'lovable' dogs.

I know this post won't make me popular, but nothing I say does!

It's absolutely impossible to train aggression out of them. It's genetically imprinted into there behavior and unless you breed them into a new species,

enter sands: with some cut-and-paste about the left proposing a ban on the right to keep and bare fangs.

Nope. But I will point out your misuse of "species". No need to, "breed them to a new species", just a different breed. Breeds are different varieties of domestic animals of the same species. For example, Golden Retrievers and Pit Bulls (American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and any crosses between the three) are different breeds, but the same species - dogs.

Damn Sands U thee man. I think jimBO BYRNT HIS BRAINS OUT STAYING IN THE SHOWER TO LONG WHILE ON SHIP. TJMHO

You do realize that it's the owner, not the breed. Kind of like a Steyg AUR.

...there lies, the true travesty. The dog will be euthanized, when the owner is to blame. BSL(Breed Specific Legislastion)is like banning certain "species" of the human race because they might be purple, pink, black or white.

Any dog can be aggressive. It's not just Pitbulls. I've known many Pits that were the nicest, most gentle of all dogs that would come into our Veterinary Clinic. Never once did I even have one growl at me. Now, bring in a Poodle, Shit-zu or Cocker Spaniel, talk about nasty demeanors. Sorry but it is the way the animal is raised, or lack of care and training. Not all Pitbulls are out to kill or hurt!!! Try working with animals once in awhile, volunteer at a shelter, and maybe then you'd learn exactly what I mean when I say this!!!

Regardless of your anecdotal experiences, scientific facts prove otherwise. Pitbulls (and to a slightly lesser degree Rotties) commit a HUGELY higher percentage of serious injuries and fatalities in every quantifiable category.

Those animals were intensely bred as war killing machines. Genetics are what they are, and cannot be 'trained out'. They can be conditioned to be less so, but only slightly.
