THE PLIGHT of THE PIT
One of my oldest friends hail from Denver. I met her when her family moved into my neighborhood when she was a little kid. She's a military brat like I am. She returned to Denver after college and had been living there until the early 90's, when she chose to move because of the city's ban on her beloved Pit Bull breed. She recently lost hope that the ban will be lifted so she can move back to her beloved Denver. She loves Pits as well as I. They are the most misunderstood, albeit mishandled, dogs. I had a Pit that was more pussy than dog. He was the sweetest dog in the world who only wanted to play. However, I really don't know where I stand on this issue. Although the breed itself is a very sweet dog, it can be trained to have a very aggressive nature, and often is trained that way. They are quite often used as fighting dogs. As a result, they strike fear in the hearts of most. My Pit, though a pussycat he was, surely didn't look like a pussy. And that was deterrence enough. Pits are the most banned dog in the USA and abroad. Are dogs truly man's best friend? Yes! Man is just not necessarily dog's best friend. Which side of the fence do you stand? Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father.

Pits are the most slandered breed. If a pit is mean, jail the owner... Don - When any group seeks political power in God's name, both religion and politics are instantly corrupted.

When you come across a mean dog, regardless of breed, it's the owners fault almost every time. And if the dog is mean anyway, I blame the previous breeders for not culling out dogs that are mentally "wrong" because the breeder thought they had the right "body", "posture" or "look". --- Jack of all trades and destructive tinkerer.

I agree the owner should be held responsible, but the problem is that there isn't a crime committed until the dog bites, maims or kill. The death of a 2-yr-old girl is the cause of the ban in Denver.

I kinda agree with pitbull bans, mostly because it's so hard to ban certain people from owning them until it's too late.

I love dogs, and agree with much of what has been said. The main problem with pit bulls is that if you do get a mean one, it is a much bigger challenge than a mean toy dog. A secondary problem is that far too many inadequate men buy pit bulls and miss train them to appear tough.

Common response to holding owners responsible.

IMHO, anyone buying a dog as a status-symbol have automatically disqualified themselves from owning a dog. --- Jack of all trades and destructive tinkerer. Anyone who have simple solutions for complex problems is a fool. |

I finally got to watch the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. Daniel the Golden Retriever won best in group but not best in show. My Labrador Retriever who is a seeing eye dog reject slept through it. The wife's puny Pomeranian is far to small and inconsequential to be taken seriously as a dog.
