(2,899 posts)to actual pit bull behavior. It all points to the obvious fact that the pit bull dog has been bred to be aggressive and all have the potential to be dangerous. Many of the dogs that kill (and eat) people, have been raised in good homes since they were pups.
Pit bulls have been bred to attack with no provocation or warning. My own dogs, Australian Shepherds, are growly dogs, but there is no follow up. They are bred that way. They growl at the cattle to keep them in line and it's all part of their job. A pit bull is doing its job and being a good pit bull when it attacks another animal or human. No, they did not cull the human killers out of the breed.
As an animal lover, who owns cows, horses, dogs and cats, I will be very happy if the pit bull breed disappears forever. And to be clear with you one more time, I am not calling for the killing of all pit bulls. I would like to see the day when they are all sterilized and another pit bull pup never gets the chance to grow up and kill a child or rip the face of a donkey.
