If only we could employ the unemployed to turn their meat into pitburgers to feed the hungry, their hides into tends to shelter the homeless, and their bones into glue to seal the muzzles of those still owed by ignorant dickheads with small children.

There is no right answer here. These dogs can be great house pets or killers, however they act on instinct and training, as well as pack behavior. I wouldn't want to put a number on how many unpredictable dogs equal the life or even the scarring of my grandsons.
If I had my way the aggressive owners of these mutts would also be in cages, perhaps even cages containing other peoples aggressive dogs.

Breed specific legislation doesn't work for any breed. Chihuahuas that have manners are no more likely to bite than any other dog. All dogs can be trained unless they are insane or profoundly stupid!

Just to expound on this point. There are 100s of dog shows in this country and over a 156 AKC recognized breeds, with the number of dogs being shown at any one show can be from 600 to 4000, and a stranger has to go over them to judge them. The incidence of dogs biting at dog shows is negligible because dogs can learn to tolerate strangers. Not everyone is smart enough to have dogs or children....

And those judges give 'em every chance to get pissed, too! I'm gonna open your mouth and look at your teeth... I'm gonna feel your underarms... I'm gonna straighten your tail... then this other person is gonna lift you by the crotch and trot you around...

whoops, attached the wrong doggy pic there, and I can't seem to fix it. ahh, well, this is what I meant to post.

But maybe, this is the real reason for the campaign against pit bulls.

It seems to me that if you live in an area that outlaws owning a certain breed of dog, then you are at fault for buying that dog in the first place. If Diz died (ouch!) and I lived in a town that banned owning Singapuras, I would get another type of cat - or more probably a moggie, to save it from being put down by an over-crowded shelter. Now Singas have a definite type - they have noticeable character traits which I adore, but I would not risk a cat I own being killed.

So how come people aren't spaying their restricted breeds and the numbers dropping? Surely these numbers can't all come from people moving in from out of state (a very harsh situation I admit). As usual, irresponsible people cause the problem, but they're rarely the ones to suffer.

I think, as I alluded to before, it's a status thing. A strange kind of status, in my opinion, and it's hard to verbalize what I mean.

It's "this dog is controversial. This dog is disallowed. This dog has a bad rap. So, I don't want any other kind of dog, EVAH. I iz an individual. See, I got this tattoo to prove it."

I do believe there are loving pits that wouldn't hurt anyone...but as SG said, irresponsible people cause the problem, and it's a shame...but it isn't a risk I would be willing to take.

My mind keeps going back to The Life of Pi, where Pi was talking about growing up in the zoo, and his dad's lectures about never forgetting that animals are animals. God knows I love animals, I've always had a sensitivity towards them. This penchant for the critters does not preclude me knowing that there are things about animals we can't know or understand, and therefore can't predict...nor does it preclude me from eating a couple of 'em.
