You seen to be implying because you haven't seen orexperienced it, it can't be true? Oh well......no sense in wasting time trying to change your mind if that's the case.
Another breed was mentioned that brought on a thought--as best I can recall, the most trouble I've heard of in my area as far as folks getting bitten, livestock being mauled/killed, and other animals being killed was due to chow-chows. They have very powerful jaws and go for the throat too--never saw even one story in the newsabout them though. My bet is every instance would have made the news if the exact same thing had been done by a pit bull.
We've also lost livestock and neighbors were threatened a year or two ago by a couple of mixed lab mutts that ran wild for a while--not a newsmaker there either, and for the same reason. Several years back there was a pack of wild dogs led by a german shepard that was causing a lot of trouble.
Reckon why we never see a story about any other breed? Shoot, I've had trouble with dobermans, german shepards, rottweillers, etc.--those are bred to be aggressive also, and have been known to "go off". I think it's simple--they aren't pit bulls.
Seems to me that some folks look at pit bulls like HCI looks at firearms.
Just so folks know, I don't own a pit bull, never have owned one, and don't intend to own one.

thanks for posting this Chad....i feel lots the same...ive posted before on threads like this and i dug it up here it is, its exactly how i feel. posted a year and a half ago.
its too bad you dont here about all the otherdog breeds that bite people every day on the news....But when its a pitbull it gets national attention.....i understand that somedogs have temperment problems but dogs are individuals and have their own personality traits, its not the breeds fault....and it doesnt help that there jaws are very powerfull(probably the some of the most powerfull of all domestic dogs.)
somedog owners dont train their dogs they just let them be wild...
its not the dogs fault its the owners. Ifa dog has a horrible temperment and just wont Submit to training(wich is Rare) it needs to be put down.
no BIg dogshould be untrained...infact it should be mandatory, due to the power that they have.
a traineddog is usually a happydog because its adog that you can do things with and take places without worrying. properlytrained dogs dont "just"bite ...and thats a fact.
im gonna ad that its always sad when a dog attacks and kills or injures a person...
i think training for Large dogs should be mandatory.
the problem is how do you go about doing it????....maybee, every year they should have to pass a test...at the owners expense,i think it would make people understand not to take dogs for granted and be responsible dog owners.
....not that i like the idea that much but i think it would stop alot of "dead Beat" dog owners from getting/keeping problemdogs.
there is no excuse for a untrained, unsocialized dog....chances are that dog is miserable, and thats why he bites/attacks.
you can work with a dog for 30 minutes a day...for a few months and have him completely trained and jumping throu hoops or whatever you want....for his master
once you get a dog to understand that hes supposed to pay attention to you,they are very easy to train....from there on out. all you have to do is spendthe time with him(pay attention to him)and his behavior will become automatic, he can be taught to do whatever you want from him.
the thing with problem dogs is that their owners dont pay attention to them so they dont pay attention to thier owners....
