I walked my pitbull 3x/day for a total of 4-5 hours and he was with me or my gf the entire day...it was the best and kindest dog you can imagine and it loved our cat and the cat bossed him around all the time...both me and my gf were previous dog owners and he was the absolute best a dog could ever be because of it...I could now take a grown pitbull and be completely OK with it because I know how to handle large dogs...
a pitbull is like a 1000cc sport bike...the bike will not kill you, it is however up to you how you ride the bike and the 1000cc is not for beginners...there is nothing at all wrong with the 1000cc even though most fatal accidents happen with high power bikes...
oh and the white man is 1.850.000.000x more likely to kill you  |
No, a pit bull is not like 1000cc bike. You can raise a pit in a loving home and 10 years later its DNA will take over and it will go pit on you, your kids, your neighbors. I'll bet any money his pit attacked him or someone else and got the needle like most of them do. All you need to ask yourself is why are all the local shelters FULL of them? They are not the most popular dog by a long shot. And remember, not only are those shelters chock full of them, they are also constantly euthanized. I believe the numbers are upwards of 3,000 pits a day. Los Angeles alone puts down 200 a day.
It's really pretty tragic because they are just dogs. Albeit dogs that have been bred to kill other dogs. With the amount of abuse and euthanization, People like crucifissio who claim to love the breed, should be doing everything in their power to stop the breeding of these dogs. But no, according to crucifissio they are just like every other dog (which is a total lie) go on Youtube and watch for yourself. No other dog launches an unprovoked and unrelenting attack like a pit does.
Normal dogs will growl at you and if you invade their space they may bite. Pits do not even warn you. it's not in their DNA to do so. They give zero warning. Normal dogs will bite to get you away from them. Pits grab, hold and shake to tear flesh from bone and inflict as much injury as possible. They are not trying to get you away from them, they are trying to kill you. It's from centuries of breeding the meanest nastiest dogs trained to fight with other mean nasty dogs trained to fight, creating the ultimate fighting dog. They fight to the death. They feel no pain. crucifissio will never tell you that.
