Hey Give Him,
Thanks for teaching me something (or in this case, RE-teaching me something) I love to arm myself with knowledge. I got on the web and looked up what Res Ipsa Loqitor means…despite my screen name, most of my Latin class is gone, gone, gone :-)
Peace, and happy New Year!
While I do no have a pit I do have a rottweiller – my 3rd and a more loving dog you would never find. She came from abusive background – beaten and trained to fight. With patience and love she is now wonderful. I am sick to death of the system protecting gangs and criminals – Ban them – better yet – they have trained themselves to kill – put them in an arena. maybe some good old fashioned Roman justice will get through their thick heads – and if not – no loss. Toss the politicians in too!
AMEN! as a matter of fact, when I was 7 my gerbil bit me and the wound became infected…I could have died. BAN THE GERBILS!!!!
Chihuahuas attack mailmen in disproportionate numbers…BAN THEM!
Let\’s see, what else can we ban…Oh, yeah, stupid people who sit around taking up my resources and breathing my air!
(for the record, I own a stupid little dachshund who\’s as docile as a kitten so no, I\’m not a pit bull owner I just know lunatic laws when I see them)
Add another amen to your posts. My mother-in-law had a chihuahua that had the most miserable disposition that a dog could have towards others. Solution?: Keep the kids and others away from the dog & vice versa. Seemed to work for us. Wonder what the dog bite statistics in the banned cities are now? Just a different breed? Can we ban politicians, attorneys, etc. too?
I want to chime in on this discussion. I firmly believe that it is nurture more than nature that results in dogs attacking humans. The statistics are interesting with some of the follows as examples:
-Majority of dog attacks occur at home or in a familiar place
-Vast majority of biting dogs belong to the victim\’s family or friend
-Baseball/softball injuries generate about 1/3 more emergency room visits a year (shall we ban baseball or softball?)
-In 2000, a Pomeranian killed a 6-week old baby (this is a four pound dog – vicious killer)
On the other hand, during a 24-year period in the US, about 65% of canine homocides were the result of attacks by pit bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes.
I say, impose much harsher penalties on the people who own dogs that bite/attack. Make owners more responsible.
My question to your pit bull defenders: why would you want to own a breed that was bred for the sole purpose of attack, and risk injury to your child, grandchildren, or unsuspecting neighbor, when you could own a \”safe\” breed like a lab, etc?
there are lots of option available, with a fraction of the risk.
First be required to take a course in dog training of a proven vicious breed.
The law of large numbers show us that Pit Bulls as a bread have a propencity to rip people to shreds at random. Girbils are not as likely to do this. So that Girbil argument is stupid. Interesting that you still own a gerbil as a grown man though…..
Assualt Weapons? Banned….Pit Bull, assualt Dog?? Banned, unless you take a course in pitt bull training.

LOL!!! I second the AMEN!
Ban Stupid People!
…But then what would we do when all the politicians are gone? =)
These dogs actually make great family pets. Smart and very loyal. Poodles attack too! Dont see anyone banning them, do you?
