can someone explain to me the appeal of owning a pitbull?
They are the best, most friendly dogs in the universe? Even when they where bread for fighting they where still the most friendly dog ever, for obvious reasons. When you are in the fighting ring with two exceptionally strong animals the last thing you want them to do is attack the handlers.
I DO NOT AT ALL, IN ANY WAY, EVER SUPPORT DOG FIGHTING, EVER. I find it deplorable. But, that is the root of the unbelievable over zealous (in the best way) love that pitbulls show to humans even now that they are bread for work and companionship. You really, really have to do some amazing fucked up horrible shit (
makes me sad to even have to think about it by typing that
) to a Pit-Bull to get them to be human agressive. Dog aggression is a different story, but it is still just about on par with other breeds.
It's a shame that what was once the most beloved breed in America, the quintessential American family dog, has been so vilified.
I can't stress enough how amazing I think these animals are.
GET THAT VICIOUS ANIMAL AWAY FROM THOSE CHILDREN! Fun fact, Petey's eye-ring was almost 100% real besides a bit of makeup to close up the ends.
"Preeeease be nice to me Lurch."
That being said, I am sort of partial to these clowns:
