    This time in Canada a little girl luckily saved from the jaws of this vicious breed by a Chihuahua of all things. I don't care what anyone says these dogs are banned in the UK and rightly so they should be utterly exterminated, they have no place in a child's home. I just don't buy this argument about it always is the owners fault, these dogs were bred for fighting and are extremely volatile as the sheer number of unprovoked attacks attest to. I have a neighbour who is a responsible owner and had 2 dogs one a Pit bull the other a Labrador , last week the pit bull killed the lab for no reason , she is devestated naturally and has changed her mind on her feelings towards the breed, she now wants the breed banned also because she was a decent responsible owner and did not see it coming. Luckily she has no children. The pit bull excuse makers cannot ignore the sheer numbers of attacks at this stage it is happening literally every week and more. Ban them now.

    Do you know the difference between a pitbull terrier and a chihuahua, (IGNORE THE PREVIOUS AS I MISREAD THE DISNEY STORY OF THE HEROIC CHIHUAHUA AS BEING ABOUT AN EVIL CHIHUAHUA. WHICH, IN FAIRNESS, COULD ALSO EASILY STAR IN A DISNEY FILM. PROBABLY NOT AS GOOD AS THE ONE ABOUT THE HEROIC CHIHUAHUA THOUGH. I LOVE THAT LITTLE GUY. VOICED BY CHEECH MARIN) and crucially, a dog and the owner whose treatment of a dog greatly determines its behaviour?

    I bet, if investigated there would be a reason.

    If its capable of taking on a pitbull, it must be dangerous. Better ban them.

    Also: pitbulls aren't inherently evil. They get such a bad reputation for the following reasons:
    • people think they look scary
    • the media report attacks by them because they grab people's attention and feed their prejudices and ill-informed "opinions" and...
    • people misreport attacks by other breeds as pitbull attacks for the same reason as above

    Mexican food is very spicy so it's probably true.

    Lets ban everything than can beat up a small dog to be safe. My dog got bested by a chair before for no reason. Chairs are evil but mainstream media wont report on this because where else would bertie and his cronies rest their golden bottoms.

    Statistics show they are the breed which have caused the most human fatalities, though. Surely that can't all just be media spin?

    I think these dogs and their anything resembling them should be banned. Growing up i never seen any of them locally, now every 3rd or 4th dog i see is one of them. I just don't understand the attraction.

    The problem is not simply the owner, the real problem is what they are capable of. If a dog was to turn on me it would be manageable if the dog was a less powerful breed. But if a pitt bulls attacks the damage that can be done is immense. Society shouldn't have to face that threat. I don't want to be a the mercy of whether some scumbag has trained his pittbull or not.

    Another thing is that none of these dogs are ever muzzled where i am from and a few times have attacked other dogs even when on a lead.

    Of course I know the difference between a chihuahua and a pitbull. Sorry if it is not clear but the brave little chihuahua bit at the legs and barked to try to distract the pitbull. And my neighbour has always had dogs and is a very good owner but has a dead Labrador now , what's worse is she rescued the pitbull a few months back and gave it a chance. She never subscribed to any breed having an inherently vicious streak but she does now.

    Unless she rared it herself, and knows its lineage, shes making a bit of an error in logic.

    This breed of dogs are ticking time bombs, they have the arsenal to inflict major injuries to people in the blink of an eyelid.

    ...yes, but then there'd be nothing to stop the small dogs evolving into viscous killers.

    That is the point the people defending them never adequately address.
