Pitbull kills toddler.......yet again.

[SyberBitch]

Certain breeds of pitbull are like Jack Russells, they have a habit of suddenly "turning" on owners or the owners family or friends they are familiar with. 10 years of happy/trouble free ownership then for no reason whatsoever - CHOMP!

Fuck.

I'm actually starting to change my mind about 'pit bulls'.

Here's the thing. I have worked with dogs all of my life. I know for a fact that with very rare exceptions, a dog truly does become 'good or bad' based on the actions of its owners throughout its life. The number of 'bad' dangerous dogs is actually quite small... however the fact is, that it's impossible to control the way dogs are raised and people continue to create vicious animals. Now, that's not such a big deal when the animal is a chihuahua, but when it's a pit bull, that's a problem.

I do not think that pit bulls (or any other breed) should be rounded up and exterminated, but I'm starting to think that there should be a ban on breeding them (and other breeds which commonly are responsible for human deaths), which would essentially wipe them out within the next 15 years or so without 'harming' any dog.

I hate to come to that conclusion, but it's starting to weigh on my mind.
