So what's your take on the pit bull debate?
I have a pit (and American Staffordshire Terrier to be correct) and he's the sweetest dog in the world. Yes, I have a pit and I'm not unemployed or a meth dealer. I'm a tax-paying homeowner (almost) in a good neighborhood. I'm educated and have a full time job, and my dog was a rescue. There's lots of talk on both sides, but research has lead me to believe that the entire anti-pit movement and stigma are based on statistically insignificant incidence rates, misinformation, and bad or biased research. But what do I know? |

The scariest moment of my life involved a pit bull. If you own one and you
treat it right and it provides you with great companionship, fine. But I see one and I start hyperventilating.

Stick the lot of them in a heavy duty garden sack and throw it into the nearest man made canal.

Oh they're totally dangerous- yeah. I'm not saying otherwise. But aren't all dogs dangerous? Honestly, my dog might be physically stronger than a Collie, but he's sweeter than any of the collies I've known.
I'm an animal person. I own three rescue pets. I understand that they're dangerous, but what they do depends more on what they're trained to do than what they innately want to do. Meanest dog I've ever met: a poodle. Not as dangerous as a doberman, of course, but meaner and angrier and bit more times per second than any pit I've ever known. Also, I should add, that I'm also scared shitless when I see them. But that's because I know that most of the people who own them own them because they believe the stereotype. |

True story: I met James Ellroy in a bookshop in the west end, getting ready for a signing. We ended up talking about dogs and how much he missed his pit bull while overseas. I mentioned I had a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and he offered me a copy of every one of his books in the shop if I brought him into the shop for him to see. I couldn't, but he did sign the copy of White Jazz I bought and dedicated it to my dog. I still have it and it's still one of my prize possessions.
And they're not dangerous really. Their owners often treat them like weapons and status symbols but they're incredibly placid if treated responsibly. It's just that their physical strength is such that they can hurt you just by playing. They definitely look more vicious than they actually are, though. Absolutely wonderful dogs. |

pit bulls, aside from being just about the most gorgeous variety of dog imaginable with their slender, muscular build, slick, short coat, expressive ears, a killer smile.. are also mercilessly intelligent dogs. I don't think I've ever seen an dogs more intelligent, and further more socially responsive. These dogs really become a part of human society, but unfortunately they don't play by the rules. The bad reputation comes from bad owners. Pit bulls have very aggressive instincts from their pedigree as fighting and war dogs, and further they are terriers so their hunting instinct is to simply chase and catch anything that moves remotely too fast..
These dogs just need to be extra socialized and their gates just need to be well-secured. If owners were more responsible there would be no debate. By the way, the most dangerous dog in America? The Dalmation .. The meanest dogs I've ever encountered? the Chow-Chow.. Only dogs to have ever bitten me serious enough to break skin? Chihuahuas..

Yes. They're dangerous in the sense that they're capable of harming people, property, and other animals... but that's my point: SO IS EVERY DOG. I've seen the damage a pitbull can do first hand (e.g. my carpet, the french doors that go out to my deck ![]() |

This, this this and this... I'm proud to own a rescued Staffordshire Bull Terrier who was probably abandoned by one of those braindead macho idiots. If the owner is an idiot then I feel sorry for the dog. It's all about the owner.

Plus they have that brilliant way of laying down on their front with their back legs stretched out behind them. And their farts are definitely far more lethal than their bite.
