You should see some of the hysterical posts from pitbull apologists in a dog forum online. It's always the owners' fault, or the victims' fault or something else. It's never the dogs' fault. Or it wasn't a pitbull, it was some obscure crossbreed that miraculously resembles a pitbull. These people need their heads examined because they just can't wrap their heads around the simple fact that these are fighting dogs - not cute, cuddly, playful family dogs - and that they have no place in modern society!

No that would be stupid.

Perhaps you need to explain in what context you believe there should be a seperate law for each dog owner.

Paramedics and police were called to the scene in Dundonald Street following the horrific attack.
Mr Hewitson was treated at his house before being rushed to Royal Preston Hospital.
But despite frantic efforts to save his life, he passed away just before 6pm. 
The dog was subsequently taken away by handlers and put down by a local vet.
At first, it was thought that the pitbull was owned by the victim himself, but police later said they thought it belonged to his girlfriend. However, reports on the dog's ownership remain divided.

Neighbours say the the animal went by the name of Tiger.
DI Jane Webb, from Preston CID, described the New Year's Day incident as 'tragic'.
'This is a tragic incident in which a man has sadly died,' she said.
She added: 'Enquiries are on-going to establish the exact circumstances and my thoughts very much remain with his family who are being supported by specially trained officers at this time.'
This evening, Mr Hewitson's family and friends were taking to social media to pay tribute to him.

If you spent more on your human capital you would find that it takes but a few seconds to find such a thread.

I've had both Shih Tzus and pit-bulls, also a pair of Rotties.

None were aggressive, and none ever attacked anything or anyone.

it's all in how they're brought-up, trained, and treated.


My Shih-Tzu..

Pitbulls have a thread in their D.N.A. they are inherently an attack dog.

They have no place amongst civilised society. They need to be banned out of existence. They don't belong in the Jungle and they sure as hell don't belong in suburban backyards.

It's alright until it goes wrong Kat and pitbulls are attack dogs.

Just how many times have you picked up a paper and read about the family rottie turning on the family's kids.
