They should be illegal to own.a bear can also be trained but it doesn't make it a good pet.to many people are getting these dogs and its nothing but a loaded weapon.I was friends with a girl who had one and when I would gvo over her house he was aws nice as could be ,if he disobeyed I would dicaplin him and he was fine.one day I went over and she wasn't there,I took 1 step inside and that dog almost had me for lunch.if it wasn't for my catlike reflexes I wouldn't be writing this now.they are a dangerous breed,if you want a good pet get a boxer,or lab or anything else.if you want a unpredxictable dog get a pitbull.
I don't know if this is serious or not, but comparing a pittbull to a bear is ridiculous.
A bear is a WILD animal..it hasn't been domesticated over THOUSANDS OF YEARS like a friggin dog... You have to give the dog a reason to attack you (unless it's just naturally aggressive from being abused all it's life or somthing..). With bears, lions, tigers, etc..you don't. They are completely unpredictable, and FAR more dangerous...A 5 foot tall, 10 foot long WILD, UNDOMESTICATED Kodiak/Polar bear is going to do a lot more damage than a foot 1/2 tall, 2-3 foot long DOMESTICATED dog.
You walked into a friend's house when she wasn't there and her dog acts defensive? Good dog..
If one of my friend's walks into my house when I'm not home..I guarantee you my cocker spaniel will go after them, and he's the most docile animal I have owned.
In fact, I remember him doing just that a few times my friends tried going inside before me.
I have been around friends' pittbulls several times and they acted like any other dog would.. Even addopted a STRAY pittbull when I was like, 8..he was such a sweet dog. When I would walk him, he would be afraid of this Collie that would bark at us.
Everytime I see some severe pittbull attack, the owners live in some trashy trailer house and look like they haven't showered in weeks.
Pittbulls are tough dogs. When they want to hurt you, you're most likely going to get hurt. When they bite you..they don't let go. But a pittbull who has had a good home, and has been properly cared for, is NOT going to randomly go on a killing spree..unless it has some mental illness or somthing.
