What's the deal with all the pit bulls?
Rusty Shackelford:
There is a pit/english/staff bull craze here in the UK. Its basicly guys who want to look the hard man while out walking the dog. I dont have a problem with any breed of dog its just that now this certain kind of dog is associated with a certain type of person ( the non working yobo type).

There is an objective reason that the pit bull has the effect of making these guys look/feel tough. It's not some giant coincidence that these types of people happen to be selecting this particular type of dog. Think about it. This is not some highly organized worldwide conspiracy against pit bulls in which both the pit bull haters and the pit bull lovers are plotting against the breed.

Prehaps agents from Japan are trying to discredit and bring down the price of pitbulls and then flood the market with Akita's? :)

You can't debate anything with a dog owner. When I had a paper route as a kid I got bit by a dog that the owner didn't know was outside. My leg was pouring blood. The white dog had blood all over its chin. I had a legal right to be in their yard as they were paying me to put the newspaper between their screen door and main door. In fact they would call my boss and complain if I put it anyplace else.
When I knocked on the door this was roughly the conversation:
"Hi, can you get me a towel, your dog just bit me."
"My dog doesn't bite."
"I'm bleeding pretty bad, just get the towel."
"Whose dog bit you?"
"Yours."
"My dog doesn't bite."
"I'm still bleeding here. And your dog has my blood on his face."
"Oh, that's not your blood."
"Whose blood is it then? Can I have a towel or not?"
"No. And my dog doesn't bite."
<grabs the paper from my hand and slams the door>
I ended up going to a neighbor's house, getting a towel, and calling the cops from there. It should be noted the person had thrown their dog in the car and left by then. My boss told me to let the issue go or he'd fire me so I did.
You can't talk about a person's dog with them. Their dog is always perfect. It doesn't matter what evidence is present.
