Those of us who have adopted and loved pitbulls for their entire doggie lives know that pitties aren’t inherently violent. People who have been victimized as a result of people’s mistreatment of these very powerful dogs don’t know that.
Liberal Portland, Oregon is filled with pitbulls, but it is not filled with lifted trucks. The city is just aware of how great they can be when you don’t abuse them into being bad citizens.
My pit died last year at old age from cancer. He was a sweetie who never did anything violent. We have a puppy now (corgi mix, hilarious clown of a dog), but I still miss my lunkhead every day. There’s something different about them and the way they need to cuddle at every moment of the day.
I was raised with a pitbull and I have been around a lot in my life. I will have to respectfully disagree with you. They are inherently unpredictable. I know of at least twelve people with facial scars from pitbulls. You really cannot compare them with any other breed.
Having said that our pitbull was an amazing dog any never hurt another human or animal except for other dogs. For whatever reason our much loved family members would snap around other dogs for no definable reason regardless of being socialized with other dogs frequently.
I remember we got a litter of kittens and our pitbull took care of them like it was their own. One kitten would climb up on their head and our pitbull would hold perfectly still while the kitten slept on its head.
The Venn diagram of people who own pit bulls and people that own lifted trucks that they can’t drive is almost a circle.
I think its a pretty vicious cycle.
No it isn’t
