Only thing I remember you saying is that you see pit bull attacks on the news all the time.

The NCRC follows up with those reports and finds that the media uses that pit-bull term often without determining what the actual breed is. Most cases it's not a pit-bull attack.

What is stupid about this? I know you don't give a rat's ass, but I own a Pit, and she's perfect. I don't feel like I should have to worry about where I live, the insurance I have, or whether Animal Control is going to come take my dog away and kill her. All because people like you support banning an entire breed because of the actions of some bad apples.

It's obviously NOT one specific breed, so, again, how will banning pit bulls reduce dog bites?

You're right. People aren't getting mauled, maimed and killed by Pits. They're making this shyt up for attention. Stupid dog attack victims and news people! :duh:

Apollo has never bitten me and I take his stuff and run around with it all the time. When I make him wear clothes or accessories he just looks at me like Butters...."well....okay...."

I'm sure there will be backlash when I say this but, am I the only person who thinks dogs deserve their dignity and would never dress them in ridiculous outfits? Imo, they are regal creatures and deserve respect. I feel nothing but sorry for a dog when I see them in a get-up.

I'm thinking it's an animal with a brain the size of a plum. They couldn't care less what you dress them in as long as the food and water bowls are full.
