Jiminy, Look at your argument. You're contradiciting yourself to some extent. First you say that Pitbulls have been an ongoing problem...Then you say that the people who own these dogs usually own them for (basically the wrong reasons),...Then you say that Pitbulls are an accident waiting to happen.
Wrong. I'm saying that's it's a combination of things that results in the attacks, including the genetic makeup and natural tendencies of the dog, the fact that they are frequently owned by drug dealers, neer-do-wells, and those with small penis complexes ...the fact that they were bred for, and are still frequently used for fighting ...all this equates to pit bull type breeds being an accident waiting to happen. Sad but true.
Well, let's see ...if you get another breed of dog, say Rottweiler, that drug dealers, neer-do-wells, and those with small penis complexes abuse to the point where they become a problem, then I suppose you do. Either that, or go after the scumbag drug dealers, neer-do-wells, and those with small penis complexes that are contributing to the problem.Do you then outlaw and exterminate the next evil breed?
For example ...we took our dog to obedience school recently (this happened in the advanced obedience school class). One of the people in the class was a rather 'rough around the edges lady' (biker chick?) with a rottweiler. She was a leash jerker. Meaning that, the poor dog was constantly having the stupid wench jerk the $hi^ out of it's neck every 15 seconds or so, if not more ...for no apparent reason other than the woman attempting to maintain her dominance over the dog. She was probably afraid of it ...though it looked like a nice enough dog to me. Combine that with the chokechain that she had on the dog, and that's an accident waiting to happen. Sooner or later that dog is going to get tired of the constant abuse, and turn on the lady. Fortunately for those who happen to be around when it happens, the rottweiler is smart enough to limit it's attack on the leash-jerking woman in question. Pittbulls aren't that bright.
I had to laugh in that class, as one of the 'tests' for graduation was that you left your dog with the instructor holding the leash, and went and 'hid' out of sight of the dog, then had to call your dog and have it come to you. The event was timed. It came the rottweiler's turn. We all stood there by the rottweiler as the lady went and hid. The instructor let go of the leash, the lady called the dog ...and the dog just stood there. The lady continued calling ...the dog looked at us standing there, and proceeded to wag it's tail and walk towards us and away from the direction where the owner was hidden. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to piss myself. We all did. We basically ended up having to 'shoo' the poor dog away so that it would go to it's owner (still calling her dog) ...as no one knew what else to do. I think the poor guy was just so happy at not having his neck constantly jerked he wanted to hang with us. Anyways, too funny, and serves her right. Some people just have no business owning certain breeds.
As for wolf crosses ...they rank way, way down on the list of dog bites by breed. In that instance it was indeed a 'bum rap'.
