And some people have lion hunting dogs. All right.

And yet it’s the pit bullls what are killing people and attacking police horses, right?

As for the original response from sfcitizen, well, yes. You say they were bred to be fighting dogs, as if I had somehow contradicted you on that. They were, although the breed in general has been softened quite a lot in the last 40 years. And Rhodesian ridgebacks, as I mentioned and which 30 seconds of google research would tell you, were bred to be lion-hunting dogs. Which makes calling a pit bull a fighting dog exactly as accurate as calling a Rhodesian ridgeback a lion-hunting dog. Were you really disputing that?

Anyhow, I forgot to add that a six year old girl was attacked about two months ago in Albany by two pit bulls. She survived, but talk about scary, that these dogs will just climb the fences or break off the chain, get loose and attack your kids or animals.

I don’t care how much of a sweet “wiggle-butt” lick-you-to-death your pit bull is, these dogs were bred for over 200 years to kills bulls and other dogs. All pit bulls are descended from man-eaters or otherwise the most ferocious pits because those were the only ones to survive the ring. Of course, breeders mulitiplied them like rabbits in hopes of creating more fighters.

These dogs were not nanny or herding dogs. These are myths. They have been genetically bred to kill and can do more damage than any dog. I have seen pit bulls snap for no apparent reason and do a lot damage.

What pisses me off is that San Francisco is a “walking” city, meaning that it is laid out for not only cars but pedestrians. How can you feel safe walking around when people have these killer dogs everywhere? These dogs are extemely strong and could easily break out of their owners grips, climb fences and do so much damage.

In Berkeley, you have all of these angry losers sitting on the sidewalks with their pit bulls. Those pit bulls will think that the sidewalk is their territory and reach out and attack a child or other animal. My friend was chased by one of these hippies with their pit bulls at night. These are the same kids you see at McDonalds on the Haight.

Hey check this article out. It did not occur in the Bay Area but is indicative of the damage these dogs can do nonetheless.

Or this attack, which happened at a PETSMART, where a pitbull killed a service dog to the BLIND! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=445328525505033&set=a.197109596993595.37281.127880087249880&type=1&theater

Or the death of pit bull ADVOCATE Darla Napora who was killed by her pit bull. She was pregant, by the way! http://pacifica.patch.com/articles/coroner-prelim-autopsy-results-show-pit-bull-responsible-for-this-attack

It seems like everyone is getting a pit bull in the Bay Area. A lot of people choose to walk here, not a good combo! The thing is that it doesn’t matter how well socialized your pit is–a lot of them are RESCUES(not good background) and they are bred to FIGHT and KILL. So they are much mor elikely to snap!

Those dogs were breed to be fighting dogs. That’s why some people are attracted to them, so they can be a bad-ass on the streets of San Francisco.

Maybe next time, there’ll be 8 wolves there and then we can all mopve out of town…
