baby toes are so tasty

Rottweilers were bread as cattle dogs - actually marched with the Roman empire as herders and then were adopted as cart pullers by butchers man - Media says they were guard dogs - there history is well documented though. Dobermans are 40% Rottweiler and share many of the same characteristics. Again I don't own a Pittbull - but I don't think there is anything wrong with them. A useful suggestion would be licensing where certain dogs are put on a license list and mandatory training and socializing classes were put in place before adoption of one of these dogs is allowed. I took my Rottie to many classes and read numerous books on training - and as a result got a good dog. They are alot of work and not everyone should have the right to own a dog that has the potential to be dangerous.

This is a tragic event with out a doubt. I have owned Rotties and Pits and I have small children. I am not a drug dealer nor a felon. I'm a single mom who adopted 2 children and to keep their piece of shit birth mother away I have a 6ft chain link fence and dogs that do not like strangers. I however would never leave my small children alone with a hungry puppy. These parents deserve to have their child taken away with out a doubt. I do disagree with the ban on Pitbulls. Granted if this dog has been with someone who trained it to be mean it should be destroyed. ANY dog regardless of breed should be destroyed if picked up from a home where fighting has occured.

I can see both sides of this coin. I had a beautiful red nosed pit bull that was as gentle to my children as any 'pet' would be expected to be. She slept on the couch and went bye bye with us and played lovinly with my children. When I was younger my cousin had a german sheppard that had been a family pet for years but one day her son was laying on the dog watching tv like he had always done, and the dog attacked him severely scaring his face for life. Do you think all German Sheppards should also be destroyed? Its not fair to the entire breed to be killed becuase something bad happened.

what am I, chopped liver?

it wasn't the dog, it was a ferret that daddy left out of his cage. Buster says let's kill all Ferrets.

Cute, how much does he weigh?

that is horrible...:(

Firt off there arent "thousands" of pit bull maglings each year,, you do hear about it often because it makes for a more shocking story than "poodle bites girls toes".

Secondly for the amount of pitbuls compared to attacks and black people , i would think you would eliminate black people befr you eliminated pit bulls, they are much more dangerous... responsible for literally hundreds of deaths per year as opposed to one or 2 that pit bulls are.

And lastly every mutt they can't identify as something else, they just call it a pit bull. Makes for better headlines.

Buster is about 65 lbs.
