Another A**hole with a fighting dog. How many more adults, children, and dogs need to be savaged before dogs that were, primarily, bred for fighting, are banned. Horrific incidents involving them are all over the net and news almost weekly. And before someone says; "I have one with a sweet nature," then you are a responsible owner, no doubt like the woman whose dog savaged her grand-daughter. Her comment was; "He was so gentle, I have no idea what happened." Obviously, any dog can snap, and any dog can be made viscious, but when a dog is inherently a fighter, and when -Be honest- the vast majority who have these dogs do not have them as a loyal companion, but have them for status, intimidation, and protection, the attacks will continue. I have a Tamaskan. He is a big powerful dog but everyday I come across pit bull type dogs who go nuts to get at him. I can only pray, as I pass, that their leads don't snap.

Firstly, looks as if from the description that the animal was owned by someone who like many dog owners in general, regardless of breed, fail to consider before taking on the responsibility of pet ownership; Before taking on the care and control of a breed as predictable as a pit bull they might have looked to the future when the dog was an adult what they were in for. Most people make emotional decisions when choosing a pet. Oh~Quite certain that it is illegal to own a Pit or Rottweiler in the city limits of Denver.
Most insurance companies require a special rider for owners of certain breeds as well-the rates are higher. That this choggie took on the responsibility would suggest that instead of having the animal abused by another idiot owner (notice The blame be directed NOT at the canine?) instead it be humanly cared-for and exercised, in a fenced yard. The dog also looks well-fed (no collar though).
Regardless of the situation, I hear the above argument many times, usually evoking some tragic situation where some ghetto-raised Pitbull has mauled someone. Again, who is to blame, the careless owner or do you simply solve the problem by eliminating the breed? I tend to agree with the breeders: Eliminate the idiot factor~Humans too ignorant to have the dog.
Bottom line is either educate the idiots who own animals without a frikkin' license to do so, or butch-up: The world is an hazardous place and the #1 animals that make it so are the

"Oh my little fluffy wouldn't hurt a fly!?", said the elderly woman whose ferocious Pomerweenian, tore out the eyes of another elderly woman at a bridge party, this and more stupid human bullshit at Seven, right here on The Good Moron Show, with Katerine Stuffupper and Glans Deferens!

Indeed, plus, pits just love to bite and hang, that is what they were bread for (well bull dogs were and the bread is part bulldog). This is just a vertical game of tub of war, the dogs personality determines how noisy he gets in the growl area. Really, this is just a dog and his master having some harmless fun, and getting out some of the energy safely from a bread with a lot of power...which is a good thing! In my games of tugowar, I have gotten my hand munched a few times, the dog hear me scream in pain and knows to stop. Some might say it is a bad idea to teach a dog to bite to have fun, and there is some wisdom in that...but some does just love to do things like this and it will just frustrate them if you don't. Dogs are like 8 year old's, you need a plan, but that plan has to be adaptable to the state of the kid/dog.
