Another Pitbull attack on a young child

I'm an animal lover. I have children, I can relate to both sides of this argument. My stance on it is, if a new law to prevent the ownership of dangerous breeds in New Zealand would protect both dog and child from ignorant adult, then I would support this law. Personally I've never known a nasty pit but then I've never known any naive dog owner. It's sad, for all involved and again, the ignorant few will ruin it for the responsible majority.

I think this picture speaks for itself. This is scary!

                                                     An example of a pit attack - to the extreme obviously.

An example of what people do to pitbulls. This poor dog is suffering from acid burns - a sick but common offence on these dogs.

Read the above link if you're not all one sided on the Pitbull debate. Even if you are, might open your eyes a little to the ignorance, and the typical media tactics of scaring the bejesus out of people. In saying that, they can be absolutely lethal in the wrong hands which is why they're used as fighting dogs. Their want to please their master means they'll do absolutely anything you ask of them, to the very best of their ability - they will always give 110%.

I feel for the dogs. I feel for the poor children that have been mauled. I am angry at the stupid people that raised a confused dog. Very angry.
