As it's been said before, you are the one that doesn't want to fix the problem of bad owners. You are such a pro- pit bull guy, why don't you want to fight to save your breed. You should be the most outraged at these stories of bad pit bulls, but all you want to do is sit back and say my pit bull is perfect...

All I do is say it's the dog owners fault for how their dog acts. Watch the video and you will see exactly what I mean, but you will never do that because you want to go on thinking these crazy ideas and will never give what I say half a chance.
It's a good watch, watch it.
I'm trying to show you how to prevent the attack.
Watch the video and learn, chad!!

I can't see what you're getting so angry about, you're beyond help and everyone around you is in trouble.
Watch the video, mr know it all who knows nothing, shardian.
Shardian you don't even want to fix the problem, all you want to be able to do is sit in your little house in your perfect or imperfect world and be able to point your finger at these dogs, YOU need to educate yourself and want to be educated.

Thank you for that post. It reminded me what the real problem is here. We all live in the real world, and you live in Tommyville. I forgot there for a while.
I've been to the Dog Whisperer's site before when I WAS trying to cope with the situation and learn to communicate with these dogs. I am not a violent person, and would do anything to avoid a confrontation if I could.
On my run of street, almost EVERY house has a dog. Every single one of those folks:
A. Do not own a Pit Bull
B. Keep their dogs where they belong be it a tiny toy dog (to my right) or a large lab (directly across the street).
THOSE are the people I like to live beside. In comes this young punk ass who has to have 2 pit bulls and lets them run loose. He gets called on it, and he whines about how there isn't a problem and he don't understand why I would be so cruel to call animal control on his dogs. One of his dogs gets shot, and he still has the nerve to tell the reporter that he just don't understand why this happened, that he STILL has not tagged his dogs, and that he STILL lets the white one run around 24/7. How dense can you be?
I don't call that fixing a problem. Good intentions don't get much done do they? Like I've said before, they are really nice people, we liked them and were even talking about scheduling a game night with them before the big dog showed up. But it is a great show of disrespect to let their dogs take possession of others property and to harass other people and their animals.
JimmyU:
I've seen two major problems with Pitbulls:
1. Bad owners who just don't teach the dogs how to behave safely.
2. Irresponsible breeding. A lot of breeders just don't care about the bloodlines and desirable traits. I've seen them actually breed more vicious dogs because that's what some owners wanted.
I've rescued two dogs and will never buy a dog (too many dogs that don't have homes.) I would never adopt a Pitbull because it's almost impossible to determine what environment they were brought up in. They may be docile and friendly the week or two they are it the shelter, but something from their past can cause them to snap and attack.

quick edit your post before tommy gets mad and rants about how great pitbulls are and the merits of adopting 40 of them.
i dont get what the argument is about. pitbulls are dangerous animals that only certain people should adopt. maybe they should be regulated but then the government gets involved and how often does that work out.
and shardian sorry about your neighbors being crazy.
JimmyU - congrats on saving two dogs. if i ever adopt again it will always be from a shelter.
ChadTower:
Everyone here, no matter what their opinion of the dogs themselves, has been in agreement that the underlying problem is bad owners.
So ban the bad owners. How? You would have two options:
1) Take away pits that have attacked.
2) Take away pits before they attack.
The obvious question: Do you want to prevent attacks or simply punish those who have allowed attacks to happen?
