About Me
This page is completely dedicated to the support of the American Pit Bull Terrier.A lot has been said about the Pit Bull. That they are time bombs. That they were bred to fight. That they are unreliable. Before you make up your mind about whether or not a 'pit bull' ban is justified you owe it to the breeds affected to learn the truth. The APBT is probably the most abused and neglected breed of dog in existance. Because of there unfair treatment so many pit bulls face, it is inevitable that a certain percentage of these will act out against humans. This is not because of the breed but because of irresponsible ownership. Hundreds of dogs are forced to fight on a daily basis in the city of Chicago and suburbs. Fighting dogs are torn apart alive. If the loser survives a fight, he or she may be set on fire, left to die, suffocated, or worse, by a frustrated owner. Animal fighting is one of the cruelest examples of inhumane treatment, for it involves the purposeful decision to allow, and in fact encourage, animals to harm each other. As for statistics used to support the idea that some breeds are more dangerous, the numbers are misleading. There's a problem getting records. "Golden retrievers bite, Labrador retrievers bite, but don't get reported." - Dr. Pobderscek. "The genetic differences between a chihuahua, a german shepard, and even a timber wolf are virtually non-existant, and the behavioral differences in breeds has more to do with training than breeding." - DN 2001. It is scientifically impossible to proove that certain dog breeds are genetically "dangerous." When countries, states, and cities imposes Breed Specific Legislations, they base it on that certain breeds are dangerous. "Although they look different, dog breeds have no more scientific bases than do races amoung humans" - Dr. Serpell 2001.? whateverlife.com? whateverlife.com
