What do you guys think about pitbulls? Do you believe they are really aggressive? What do you think of bsl? (Breed specific legislation, which puts restrictions or bans on certain breeds)
Personally I don’t agree with banning pitbulls, as it’s the owner not the breed who makes a bad dog. People think they were bred to kill anything, when they were only bred to fight dogs, not any other animal. A well trained, socialized and exercised pitbull can be a friendly, loyal companion. I think it’s really sad that people want them to be wiped out, all because of the media (often the media doesn’t have a clue what a pitbull looks like, they are so often mislabeled.) The media seems to love them to, I notice when anything that looked remotely similar to a pit bull is usually labeled as such “a pit bull attack, yet when it’s another breed they usually refer to it as just a “dog attack”. They used to be known as nanny dogs that were great with kids, until idiots started owning them. Any dog has the potential to attack, it all depends on how they are raised, trained and taken care of.
Bsl has proved ineffective in other countries that have tried it. I think instead we should be focusing on educating owners and kids on how to take care of dogs properly, how to approach dogs and act around them etc
What do you guys think about bsl and the effected breeds?
Also, can you find the pitbull?:
