[color=#810541]Elena, VF posted links of just separated attacks. There was no information whether the dog was a calm dog or what. Most of them just said "dog attacks woman here and here". There was no information whether this dog was being hit when it attacked the person or if the child was grabbing food out of its mouth. Do you see what I'm saying?
In a lot of the attacks, the dog is usually some how provoked. As an article that VF posted says "Most attacks occur when the dog is chained up." Think about it. If the dog is chained, it can't hurt you unless you allow it.
I understand what you guys are saying. I absolutely do. Pit bulls are very strong energetic dogs and some have attacked people for no reason. But the POINT IS, if the owner can't handle the dog, or can't train 'em. It is the owners fault. A dog is like a child, as gieandfer said, they learn what you teach them.
If you notice the link Raddaman posted, the good owners trained their pit bulls to use their strength to save lives. They are strong and energetic but it's our responsibility to show them how to use that strength.
Also, people get pit bulls and then allow children to mess with them. For instance, pulling their ears or tails, grabbing food out of their mouths, jumping on them etc. If the owner is retarded enough to allow this and not watch their kid, it is their fault when the pit bull turn and bits the kid. Keep in mind this is a dog, it doesn't know that it's a child bothering it; all it feel is just someone bothering it. They "GRRR" but the kid is still bothering it.
Plus, they are not the only dogs attacking people. And as another article by VF said
