But A Pitbull Biting Someone Makes Headline News Daily…What About The Other Breeds That Bite People? Never Hear About Em Do Ya?
Isn’t that strange?
I don’t think that you can blame the media, nor the breed of dog.
There is a huge reputation for pitbulls as being extra strong, and aggressive.
Rather it be the cause, or the effect, or both, if you are involved with dog-fighting, you want the strongest most feared breed, to ward-off threats.
If you want a strong fearful defender to watch over you, your family and you belongings, you want the strongest and most feared.
Therefore, a higher percentage, than less-feared breeds, will be placed in roles of violence, potential violence, and/or intimidation.
I don’t think that there is anything wrong with the breed, over other large dogs. But I don’t think that you can push the blame on the media as if they had somehow all come together to persecute one breed of dog unfairly.
You blame those who own the individual dog, as stated above.
Owning any large dog with children around is a risk. And if you have trained it to intimidate, then that raises the risk.
If you have trained it to be violent, then that raises the risk considerably.
If you are not certain of the dogs upbringing from birth, (Say you bought the dog at a year old) then that too raises the risk of the dog having an incident with violence.
i end up saying the same thing every time there is a “pitbull attack story”. you have to understand that there is no greater incidence of attacks by pitbulls than chiuahua’s. but when cute little muffin is nippin at your heel you just kick him away. when a pittbull bites your heel he crushes your ankle. that’s why the reports seem to be more, not that there are more of them but they are more serious because of their bite strength. german shepards are responsible for just as many attacks but yet there is no call for the “police dog” to be banned. even the bite of the larger german shepard is no match for that of the pitbull. not a bad dog breed, just a dog breed with the jaws of an alligator.
It is very sad. I work at a large plumbing co. and our field supervisor went to a customers home yesterday….got out of his truck and was walking up to the house when a pit came out from the back of the home and started to attack. He was able to get back into his truck…however, not before the dog did some good damage to his leg. He has several gashes….where the dogs teeth ripped his leg………OUCH!!!
The sad thing is, the owner came out and could NOT get the dog to stop….and then wondered why our guy told him he wasn’t going to return to his property. (The dog was indeed taken by animal control)WHAT IF THIS HAD BEEN A CHILD WALKING BY THE HOME!! IT WOULD OF BEEN ANOTHER TERRIBLE OUTCOME!!
