[QUOTE="Stackle2, post: 2062803, member: 27067"] I have a couple pit bulls, & I agree, they are incredibly fast, ridiculously strong, and can be utterly overwhelming, but mine are two big couch potatoes that just like to cuddle. OTOH, if I am out in the neighborhood and a large pit comes at me in an aggressive, threatening manner, I'll shoot it, I wouldn't take a second to see if its going to stop and roll over for belly scratches. One of the original posters stated that he thought owners should be charged with responsiblity for the actions of the dog, I agree 100%. Another issue I have with so called "vicious breeds".... why does the person trying to pay for groceries with food stamps, have 7 kids running around the buggy, and a pit bull tied up outside the grocery store!?! That has been chapping my @ss for years, doesn't make a bit of sense, but every time we've had a dog attack in a town I have lived in, that has been the typical culprit. (btw, just to prevent confusion, I am referring only to financial status, nothing else) [/QUOTE]
