[QUOTE="jbs2014, post: 2501096, member: 94052"] I don’t think anyone on this thread want to ban pit bulls, at least I don’t. I think the problem is when folks who don’t have the skills and knowledge that you have raising them get them and don’t give the dog the discipline and firm hand it needs. Then situations like what the OP mentioned occur. Is it true that decades ago pit bulls were raised for fighting? In Germany one of my neighbors had a Presa Canario and it never attacked people or little dogs. Pretty sure, given this guy’s background, it was because he maintained strict discipline with it. But without that discipline bad things MAY have happened. Such dogs have their place. In my area a woman was out with her pit bull and wandered in to a some of javelinas. Had it not been for the dog latching on to the javelina and not letting go I think that the whole man could have been killed. Both her and the dog had to get a lot of stitches but the alternative could have been much worse. I hope that things work out for the better for the dog that was mauled and it’s owners. [/QUOTE]
