You really think if my dog was UN-predictable they would allow it to be a service dog inside a hospital and work around kids? Adults are not the only ones that get cancer?

Sure, some people can't handle the responsibility of training and socializing this breed. But you can say the same about people owning guns, some people cant handle that responsibility. Its not for everyone. But that doesn't mean the breed should be banned. This breed is also the most decorated military dog in USA history.

Research pit bull service dogs before claiming such insanity.

sure,  why wouldnt a second rate country like the USA  have second rate policies  centered around   "I love my pitbull"

lol

The USA also allows people to own artillery too.

You obviously dont know what a dog goes through to be able to be a service dog and be around kids like this. The dog is tested in so many ways, they pull at its face, they do all sorts of messed up things to see its temperament. They don't just say, oh wow he can smell cancer, lets put him around kids!

A bunch of UN-educated morons.

Okay, so your pitbull was put through a long line of tests to make it able to qualify as a service dog.  So therefore your pitbull is likely a very safe dog.  That is certainly very plausible and I won't disagree.

No one is saying all pitbulls are dangerous.  Just that most are based on genetics.  If your dog was able to go through many tests to be accepted into a program, then your dog is likely very safe.  And much more than most pitbulls.  Just like humans, dogs have personalities and some humans are much more docile than others.

No one here is saying all pitbulls are bad.  But people need to take into consideration that pitbulls in general cause the most problems with attacks among all breeds of dogs and the problem is getting worse because many people who own pitbulls are generally people who are poor, who do not fix their dogs because they are poor, and the breed is flourishing due to that fact.

You can call us morons for mentioning all these things.  But you need to use some common sense too.  You might have a unique pitbull by its demeanor.  That is a possibility.

Even so, I still wouldn't trust it too much.

How can you say "no one here is saying all pit bulls are bad" when the majority here that are against want a breed ban? Thats where I get pissed off.

Hey, I think all morons should be euthanized. But at least I know there are morons in every culture, every country, every race and economic class.  I mean, just look at this thread, right?

Your emotions are getting in the way of seeing the facts.  This is not about dog eugenics or anything of that sort.  At least not for me.  I just think pit bull owners need to be smarter.  I don't like having them in big cities with lots of people and other dogs.  But I am not saying we should kill this breed or totally ban it.  I just don't think it should be allowed in large cities.  Live in the country if you want one. I just don't think they are safe.

And to go with your argument on morons.  No one said pitbulls were retarded, they are more psychotic.  They are just more unpredictably violent.  Should we allow people who are unpredictably violent and/or psychotic to roam the streets?  No, we would rather have them out in less densely populated areas.

If you have seen several pitbull attacks, like I have, you might feel differently.

Original Message Dangerous dogs have been under the spotlight in Switzerland after the horrific death of a six-year-old boy killed by pit bull terriers in November 2005 in a small town near Zurich. Bans on dangerous dogs have already been imposed in cantons Valais and Fribourg and are under discussion in several other cantons.

Under the new measures, 12 dangerous dog breeds will be banned and owners whose dogs weigh more 25kg will need a permit to walk them in public. Additionally owners of dangerous dogs must hold a license, prove they have completed a dog-training course, muzzle their dog in public spaces, are limited to one per household, and prove that the animal comes from an approved breeder -- it is strictly illegal to breed or cross "fighting dogs."

DogsBite.org praises the citizens of Geneva for protecting human life and embracing measures that hold dangerous dog owners accountable.

good on Switzerland, now its time for Americans to give Anthropomorphism a rest too.
