have a completely different take on pitbulls. I work in the fighting
capitol of the south - Atlanta. We have too many to number breeders of
fighters.
The Professionally bred fighting dog is not a threat to humans in any way,
shape or form. These dogs have been bred and CULLED for generations to get a
wonderful temperament with people. FYI - all three sets of fighting rule
contained one requirement - there must be one judge and one handler PER DOG in
the ring during a fight and NONE may be known to the dogs. Results - if a dog
showed ANY type of aggression toward humans they were immediately destroyed
and "daddy" was ashamed/insulted as if someone told him his son played with
dolls (remember these were the "good Ole Boy" set.) Professionally bred
fighting dogs of the old fighting lines do not pose a threat to humans.
Infact,
they are among the MOST stable kids dogs' you can find.
Move into the present......... We now have primarily drug dealers and other
ner' do wells, who want a 'tough' dog and the rappers made the breed
infamous. These small time "doggers" as they call themselves wanted a tough
dog who
could fight at teh Sunday afternoon picnic and also guard the family's
stash. So they took a very human gentle breed and turned them into killers!
They did this by breeding from inferior "cull" lines and crossing in other
stuff
- We've heard everything from Dingo to any of the various Mastiff breeds, to
Tosas.
The problem with breed bans is that theyare not being projected properly
from a public safety standpoint. Once pitbulls are gone the "doggers' will
move
on to bigger and better. We are already seeing this in Atlanta. After the
death of the LaCrosse teacher in California everyone around here started
calling their pit/rott crosses Pressa's and started selling them like
hotcakes.
Within the past year we have been impounding Corsos, Pressas, Tosas, and
Filas. Imagine your local police officer going in on a drug bust only to face
200 pounds of dog specifically bred to kill humans.
Until our legislators understand that its not teh breed, but teh way these
animals are raised, we will continue to have human deaths associated with dog
bites as a greater and greater rate. Every one of us should be campaigning
with a very thoughtful slogan. ITS THE DEED, NOT THE BREED.

That's what I meant. I think we are more in tuned than you think, but
thanks for the history lesson. Seems like you have done a bit of study on the
subject, and I respect that. I can just remembering as a child seeing
fighting
pitt bulls, and being told to stay clear. They were all tied to small dog
houses, and very aggressive. With my own eyes I saw these dog for what they
were, killers. Nothing I would sell to the general public. That was many
years ago, 50 +. Possibly now of days, it may be different, but I doubt
it.
One thing for sure it is THE DEED, NOT THE BEED!

It is, in the final analysis, the owners not the dogs. On that we agree.
