[...] Ayep: Dogs are animals. Dogs are killers. Dogs are scavengers. Dogs are followers. They are also loving companions and great protectors due to their nature. But never forget that even little fluffy would love to rip the throat out of a rat. Those cute little Dachshunds were bred to kill badgers. Do you realize how tough a badger is? And how tough a small dog would have to be to go toe-to-toe with one? When people forget that dogs are animals to be controlled, it’s dangerous for the people and unfair to the dogs.

It’s funny how frequently the people who support the bone headed ideas behind breed bans against Rotties, pits, GS’s, or any other dog bigger than a cocker spaniel do so because of media-ignorance-fed baloney. These are often the same people who rail (correctly, I might add) about media bias against guns.

Nothing irks me more than some dolt prattling on about the need to ban pit bulls because of the nonsensical myths he’s read or heard on TV when same said dolt freely and readily understands the media bias against guns.

Hint: “they’re evil human aggressive killer dogs with locking jaws and a taste for blood that can turn on your in a second” is the same as “.50BMGs are used to shoot down airliners and cop killers use copkilling-designed teflon coated super depleted uranium exploding bullets that pierce armour on tanks.”

…And they have big blocky heads! We have Whippets and Greyhounds and we do lure coursing with them. Was in Tallahassee late last year and a Pit got loose from his owner (note: use a suitable lead) while one of my Whippets was in a course. Pit came tearing out onto the field. Luckily he was chasing the lure and not my dog, but did end up T-boning him and breaking a rib. Moral of the story, if the Pit was genetically programmed to fight, my dog would have been dead. Instead, the lure ended up in a thousand shredded pieces.

Yep – it’s hard to train and condition against a dog’s instincts. Our dog knows she’s not allowed in the bathroom, and when we’re home, she’s a perfect angel. She won’t go anywhere near it. But, if we forget to put up the gate to block the door when we leave, give her two minutes and she’s rummaging through the trash can and the cat’s litter box. When we get home, she slinks down the stairs in complete submission because she knows what she did was wrong (to us at least) but that wasn’t enough to stop her. I could beat her silly and it wouldn’t do any good – and if it did, it would ruin her as a friend.

Yeah, and my American Bulldog once thought a couch was a pig. Damned couch didn't stand a chance. This happened after she chewed off the lock on her cage and got out while we were out of the house.
