Continued from where? Is this thread II of a trilogy? I need to know where I am in the continuity. And can I go back to the first thread and contribute a post that derails things so badly, this thread no longer exists? ---

> [@bucketybuck](#): > > Why is this Pitbull such a hot topic all of a sudden? > > I had never even heard of Pitbull, now he has songs out with Shakira, Christina Aguilera, and some guy called Marc Anthony. He doesn’t even sing, and he’s just this skinny white dude, how exactly did he get so popular all of a sudden? Appearantly, he bites children a lot or something. Mostly, I think he just looks like someone brought thier recently divorced father to a party. The dogs, on the other hand, are pretty cool if you raise them right. Not like Chows…or Yorkies, the little bastards. ---

About a month ago my 30 lb beagle picked a fight with a pit. The pit was completely non-aggressive, but wanted to sniff an area that my dog had just finished rolling in. My little Ginger took offense and went after the pit. The pit, cute girl named Carolina, was at least twice the size of my dog in height and weight. My wife and I and Carolina’s owner pulled them apart as quick as we could. Ginger ended up with two stitches on the top of her head and two in her neck, and deserved all four for being a butt head. Hopefully she’s learned her lesson. ---

I’ve never seen a Pit police dog. I assumed that was because they all had criminal records or something. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > Confession: I hate pitbulls. But I admit it may have more to do with the owners. Too many seem to have them to perpetuate their tough guy image. Which leads to them be raised the wrong way. The only dog I’ve had to shoot was a pitbull. It was terrorizing the neighborhood. But the owner raised them in outdoor pens and treated them like livestock not pets. Never could prove he was raising them to fight. We foster for the local rescue and pit puppies are very lovable. I would never own one though because I wouldn’t want to have to explain to everyone we meet that it isn’t a killer. I like my idiot lab/beagle mix who runs away from everything. Oh and Yorkshire Terriers are completely evil. /confession Your hatred probably has everything to do with the owners and how badly some people train pitbulls. If abused or raised for fighting they can be viscious. Of course the same is true for many human children, but there is rarely a call to euthanize them. I love pitbulls and have owned several. The current one is called Odie. Orginal it was supposed to be Odoacer, but as he is regularly bullied by the housecats, we have altered his name. ---

The problem is that the ‘rabid” defenders of Pit bulls and the equally crazy phobics are making a smokescreen for the real issue- that ALL dogs of ALL breeds need to be neutered and that breeding should only be allowed to registered and licensed breeders. Too many dogs, too many dog attacks and too many wonderful puppies without a forever home. **Stop the madness.** \*Both sides. \* This means, I’d support a “ban on unlicensed pit bull _breeders_’ as a means to an end of banning ALL unregistered breeders. ---
