The page I was on (http://www.dogsbite.org/dangerous-dogs-pit-bull-faq.php?gclid=Cj0KEQiA-aujBRDqj772vpGfgooBEiQAzWAZUqQ8lTDXL_hJCNlAz4e1qVT_2KU031-TL8CZgANP0mEaAvO88P8HAQ)
What upset me first was there answer to dog fighting. They talk about how "dogmen" (they shouldn't call themselves this they are anything, but a true man. True men don't abuse dogs and use them for a "game") like specific types of Pit Bull breeds and like there dogs to keep fighting even when they are left with only stubs to walk on. Owning two dogs myself it would cause me extreme pain to say my dog break one leg by accident, say jumping off a porch that was too high, never mind putting my dog in a ring to defend it's "honor". I wouldn't sit proudly on any sideline that encircled my dog being battered.
This website feels that lawmakers are "too afraid" to make laws against Pit Bulls. I on the other hand completely dis agree and feel that lawmakers have made too many laws for Pit Bulls. In Boston for instance a Pit Bull must wear a muzzle. I think public safety is important, but punishing the Pit Bull won't stop the attacks. Getting the abusive humans put in jail will stop the attacks. It is always the owners problem, not the dogs; as the people would learn from the world renowned Cesar Millan (dog trainer).
Another thing I find interesting is that dog trainers often support Pit Bulls. For instance, Cesar Millan's Pit Bull is known world wide for being a sweat and impressively well trained dog. I find it funny that the public doesn't trust a dog trainer, someone who works with dogs for a living, instead they trust what a news caster says, someone who works with the news for a living.
This website also talked about a Pit Bulls bite. I do agree that a Pit Bull, AS DOES MOST DOGS, has a strong jaw and is muscular. A trait that Pit Bulls has is to hold on to and shake the object in it's mouth, there toy in the case of the Pit Bulls I know. What I saw on this website is a breed blamed for it's genetics. I find it funny, the people that made the Pit Bull, will now blame it for it's traits. You can't blame a dog for something it can't help. Instead work with it, train it and take proper care of it and then you might just SURPRISINGLY find that it is a kind, gentle, loving and loyal dog.
The website also makes fun of Pit Bull owners for saying that there dog "might lick you to death". I found this to be extremely immature. One thing, I myself, have noticed about Pit Bulls compared to other breeds is that they love to lick people. I don't use this cover up the other issues Pit Bulls have instead I re-direct people to the positive and factual traits of Pit Bulls.
What was the websites solution to the problem with dog bites you may ask? Pretty pathetic.
They said that they would reduce the number of Pit Bulls. Once again Pit Bulls are being abused and then biting people. They are trained, basically, by their owners, to do the damage they do. By eliminating the Pit Bull breed the problem will not be solved. These awful humans will only pick a new breed to use and abuse.
Ture dog lovers take care of their Pit Bull the proper, caring way and therefore their Pit Bull is perfectly loving.
These comment are quite ignorant: http://blog.dogsbite.org/2014/01/2013-fatal-dog-attack-identification-photographs.html
As you probably could tell I was extremely disgusted by what was said on dogs bite.org. I decided to move on and try to find a article. I found this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/douglas-anthony-cooper/merritt-clifton-pit-bulls_b_5866176.html.
I am very happy to say that this article discredits dogs bite.org and talks about how it is actually biased. It turns out that the author of the website was attacked once and hates Pit Bulls (as you probably could already tell by reading what she says). As I read through her website before finding this article I became angered and truly hurt by what she was saying because even though what she seemed to be saying was true she was saying the facts at a biased "angle". Clearly after reading this article this website is debunked and should not be trusted. There was also many other websites debunked and a man by the name of Clifton going to jail for his incorrect "statistical data".
I also unfortunately learned that because of this awfully incorrect data Pit Bulls were put down in shelters (1 million last year) just for being a Pit Bull. Another key fact is that some of these animals aren't even a Pit Bull, they are just wrongly identified. It's unfortunate how such evil people can ruin the lives of helpless animals, when what these evil people are saying isn't even true. That is why it is important to CHECK YOUR FACTS before you act in such heinous ways.
I am proud to say the Pit Bulls came out on top.
