but the fact remains that the overwhelming majority of (yes, EVEN)

pitbulls live out happy lives and die of old age without harming anything

or anyone. You just don't hear about those.

I can't find it right now but if I do I'll post it, there is a pretty simple way

of breaking apart a dog's jaws with a stout stick or pole. Even a pitbulls'.

I think it would be better to turn your attention to dogs on chains. Whatever

breed, dogs on chains get very territorial. And they bite.

 



Hi... I don't see how showing the vast majority being happy or without victims negates my point.  If that wasn't the case it would be so over-the-top ridiculous that they are pets near other people, kids or not, we would probably not being having this conversation.  I don't have to hear about those happy cases because I already believe it!  My points where about the other ones and judging whether or not their extraordinary ability to kill and damage quickly and the unusual difficulty in the average person stopping them once they are on should be considered.

Again, saying how other dogs can be dangerous or naming situations where any dog is dangerous does not negate the validity of my point about classifying dogs with extraordinary kill and damage bite ability differently.

I don't see how you can classify them differently, then. And I don't think

the word "extraordinary" should be used with them in this context.

Finding out a dog's bite pressure is almost impossible. You can't hand

a dog a meter and say "Bite down on this as hard as you can please"

and measure, it just doesn't work that way. There are people who will

give you approximates, but then it gets down to what is the difference

to human flesh (if you will) if one dog (or breed of dog) has bite pressure

of 750 psi and one has 800? Or one has 250 psi, even? 250 psi bite

pressure is enough to tear flesh and cause massive bleeding.

Who do you put on the job of picking out which ones are "bad" and need

not to be alive, Frank? Really, who decides? Who tells all those people

to give up all those beloved pets because maybe 1 percent of their breed

is bad and bites and kills?

Which vehicles do we take off the road because they hit and kill people?

Profiling anything like that is slippery slope, Frank.

I know a lot about dogs, and I sure as heck don't want to be the one to

pick them out or "classify" them, either. Me, I'd rather "classify"

irresponsibile owners.

Yeah.

Fair enough, Sweat Pea.  The pro-freedom side of me is too strong to be overwhelmed without more information at this point.
