Re: Cats

I thought he was saying that the people who own pitbulls are crap?? And because of their rep, deserved or not, unfortunately that is why dickheads tend to choose them. Not you and Max of course

Re: Cats

dude, not cool. i have a pitbull and shes the best dog ive ever met. shes super obedient, shes an absolute softy around everyone, loves children, sleeps next to my cat and shares her food with him... i have met HUNDREDS of pitbulls in my life, as they are very popular im my city - maybe even the most common dog here is a pitbull cross - even tho they are "illegal". 9 times out of 10 most people cant even recognise a real pitbull.

in this day and age, you would think that this argument would be pretty defunct by now, considering that something as simple as a google search will show you how amazing these dogs can be. Whether it be: recieving a presidential commendation *the only dog in history to do so - and was a pitbull*, to saving flood victims in hurricane katrina, to the american breed temperment tests that rank the pitbull as 85.3% pass - putting it ahead in SAFETY to be around of dogs like Beagle 81% - http://www.atts.org/stats1.html.

these are serious tests which aim to give an accurate assesment of the breeds temperment, not just some bullshit rumour propagated for generations by ignorant bigots.

so all in all, until you own one, or have ACTUAL contact with real pitbulls and know what they are like, stfu, because i find that sort of shit fucking insulting to the best breed of dogs you can ever own.

Hun he is so not talking about pits being bad dogs....Steve would never say anything hurtful towards an animal....he has the biggest heart in the world, and has the biggest soft spot for animals.

He is referring to the people that have given them a bad reputation by using them as fighting dogs and attack dogs, which has given them a bad rap. Pits are wonderful, loyal, and loving dogs....there are just a lot of horrible people out there turning them and their name into a horrible thing.

Re: Cats

and im sorry if i sound like a cunt, but i just get so sick of being on the recieving end of the world thinking my dog is dangerous. it just breaks my heart to see the life that these dogs get most of the time.

lol, relax mate, I was talking about the people that own the dogs, I love pit bulls, I love all animals.. I've probably saved/rescued more animals than you'll own in a life time
my mate has pit bull mix that he saved (took) from a family that had it roped up outside as if to get it ready for fighting. I was over there last night and that dog laid on my lap the whole time sleeping

Re: Cats

Re: Cats

trust me mate, so do i.. it's all good, just mis understanding
it burns my ass to see animals mistreated

one of the bull dogs we rescued and fostered had been adopted previously, within about a month he was found chained to a tree (the chain had massive links and was barely long enough for him to turn around) in the middle of a park, no food, no water.. he was an amazing dog, build like a brick shit house, but so gentle.. we found him a great home with another bulldog in the family and he's happy as can be now!

Re: Cats

I hate animal cruelty with a passion. I'm not a violent person, never have been. But if i seen someone being cruel to an animal, lets say my temperature would rise.

Re: Cats

my friend is getting evicted from our apartment complex next week because he owns a pit bull. the dog (havoc is his name) is a pristine looking dog and it is the nicest dog in the world. very VERY mellow temper and friendly to every person and animal. i don't agree about kicking my friend out, but so many people have a bad impression of these dogs, that i can understand where the complex is coming from. pit bulls rule though! they can be the nicest dogs in the world if you just raise them right.

Re: Cats

well, hopefully your friend doesn't give the dog up and finds a new place. I hear and see all the time animals being abandoned or given away because where the people choose to live doesnt allow pets etc.. well, FIND A PLACE THAT DOES!
But yeah unfortunately, as I said before, because of idiots raising these dogs to be fighters and aggressive the whole breed has a bad name

Re: Cats

Garrick, that's brutal...so not right!

Re: Cats

yeah, he's keeping the dog and looking at this as an opportunity to buy a house... great idea, imo. the dog will be happier in a house with a yard anyhow.
