I bet he's gonna have to wear a pink collar...

I believe a breed has to fit the owner.

I could never train a few breeds out there. Vizla are too high strung. I like hunting or working dogs most

Take it easy and have a bran muffin or something. Geezuz.

As an animal lover, I have a problem with both, but I agree that putting him down is probably better for everyone, dog included, than keeping him in a cage for the rest of his life.

I don't like Pit Bulls at all, but I'll bet that this dog does not understand why he is in jail, or even that he did anything wrong. Pit Bulls can be vicious dogs. Maybe its in their nature.

What I will say though is that owning a pt bull should come with extra responsibilities. If your dog attacks another person or animal, YOU are responsible for the damage it caused. This means paying any fines, paying damages, and going to jail.

On a side note, if you are one of those idiots who casturates their dog then buys artificial balls for it because you somehow think that a ball-less dog is in some way a reflection of your own personal manhood, then you should go to jail for twice the time just on principal.

Not all dogs are created equal. My 2-pound chihuahua spends the whole day with my son (8 years old), and I see no danger in it. BUT one of my models has a pit bull and she is forbidden to bring it to my house. Her dog is really cool and very friendly, but I don't trust him around my son.
If people actually took care of their kids, this kind of things wouldn't happen.

You guys always regurgitate the same nonsense. Comparing a pit bull from 1920 to the backyard inbred pit bull of today is laughable. Those dogs have been destroyed, the genes are garbage and they should not be bred.

Isn't it just the opposite? I thought Pit Bulls were inbred, with breeders breeding the toughest, strongest dogs, no?

You made his point. He was referring to the comparisons of the gentle pit on "Little Rascals" with current pits.

As opposed to if it was another breed/dog?

I can just imagine a prison full of dogs... a bunch of them clueless as to why they are doing time, and half of them understanding and realising they did a bad thing. Those are the ones more likely to get parole, obviously.

Back to the ones with zero remorse or acceptance that what they did was wrong... I can even picture the documentary (dogumentary?) focusing on 3 or 4 of them, each telling the camera over and over: what these humans don't realise is that's nothing wrong with my behaviour... it's perfectly natural...they need to get with the program and understand that.

Camera pans out, forlorn dog is looking through a barred window, unblinking...sad but powerful music leads into fade, into credits...
