Pibbles

heroic pit bulls reign

http://celiasue.com/2012/05/09/heroic-pit-bulls-reign/

there are no incidents to date of a spayed/neutered indoor family pit bull ever having killed anyone.

…[S]ince 1975, dogs belonging to more than 30 breeds have been responsible for fatal attacks on people, including Dachshunds, a Yorkshire Terrier, and a Labrador Retriever.” (It’s also key to point out that you are more likely to be killed by lightening than a dog, and dog bites are at historic lows.)

so funny, of course the dog is a pibble, cici used to lick cow hooves, sheep hooves, horse hooves and if I had let her, which I did not, she would have loved to roll around in their cow patties, http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2012/05/dog-loves-cows/

Bullies. Pits. Peteys. Little Rascals. Junkyards. Staffs. Call them what you want, but call them America’s dogs. Born and bred in the U.S.A. And ain’t it time to bring them home. Misunderstood. Chained and “Vick-ed” by some. Projected on the big screen as mean. Any dog can be man-made mean, but these guys are born innocent. Fact: Pits are tractable, loving, quiet in the home, intelligent, and without a doubt the most endearing of all breeds. They crave to be by your side doing whatever you do. Watching football, gardening, in the car, at your feet, in the bed, and especially in the kitchen, Bullies are there helping out. Little Rascals? They love and adore kids. They are kids themselves, always one step ahead, figuring schemes and angles to please and make you laugh. Born comics. Born athletes. America’s utility dog.

Shaka the K9 cop pit bull

Yet it only takes a brief look at the history of pit bulls to realize that the dogs are not the problem; the humans who misuse them are. For over a hundred years, holding the owners personally responsible was enough to prevent attacks, and the breed was perceived as very child-friendly. With outreach and education, it may be possible to restore that image and rehabilitate the pit bull’s reputation, restoring an iconic American dog to its rightful place among mankind’s best friends.

Big scary pibbles/Victory dogs at play

can dogs raised with cruelty, become family dogs?  yes, many of the former M. Vick dogs have become family dogs, living with other dogs, cats and even children. amazing, the Power of Love… (and the difference of owner/pet parent).

there is no reason why Staffordshires can’t live happily with other dogs of all shapes, sizes, sexes and ages! Contrary to popular opinion, Staffordshires don’t actually like fighting, as they are terrible wimps and hate being hurt, and they hate being kept outside and just want a life with someone who loves them. They like to be on the sofa or in bed and be cuddled, especially if the weather is bad outside!

One dog breed achieved such a rock solid reputation with children that for 150 years it was known as America’s “Nanny Dog”.

One dog breed became so trusted that despite the fact that no Kennel Club or Association recognized it, despite the fact that it could be found on the poorest farms and bleakest city neighborhoods with kids who didn’t know where their next meal was coming from, rich people acquired them in droves because they were simply the safest, most tolerant breed to have around their gilded progeny.

Rich, poor, and everything in between, until recently Americans agreed that there were only a CERTAIN TYPE of people who would own a Pit Bull…

PEOPLE WHO LOVED THEIR CHILDREN.

There is NO evidence that one breed of dog is more dangerous than another…

http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2011/nov/07/pit-bulls-reputation-deserved/

How would YOU like to be banned/exiled, discriminated against, abused and/or killed for the way YOU look???

Banning Pit Bulls would be like banning cars because people get killed in car accidents! Who’s responsible, the car or the driver/manufacturer? Any car can be deadly in the wrong hands or if built with defective parts. Same thing with dogs… Any dog. Pit Bulls are no more responsible for the way they are bred, raised and trained, than cars are responsible for the way they are designed, built and driven.  And banning dogs because of the way they look means ALL breed discrimination is ANTI-DOG legislation.

anyone who is afraid of pit bulls should watch this episode of extreme phobias, on Animal Planet, a man overcomes his fear of pit bulls, yay, the pibbles were all being who they are, sweet and loving, goofy and silly, so great, http://animal.discovery.com/videos/my-extreme-animal-phobia-puppy-scares-man-to-tears.html

gotta love this: If one uses media reports to determine rates of danger — as pit bull critics do — then over the past decade in Washoe County, you’re more likely to be killed by your own mother than a pit bull. http://www.rgj.com/article/20110719/NEWS20/107170378/Fact-Checker-What-s-scary-about-pit-bulls-

this is fantastic, http://www.ywgrossman.com/photoblog/?p=837

Pitbulls have a 7% survival rate in the US and an average shelter population of 40%-60%…imagine how many end up dead every day nationwide. .that death rate is due to over population because of over breeding. on average 93% of all pit bulls entering a shelter are killed which means only 7% are actually adopted.

America’s babysitters

There is something wrong with a country that once revered pit bulls and had them play and trusted them with their children, pit bulls were a symbol of our strength and loyalty, and now our country says these same dogs are vicious, mean and dangerous and wants to ban them??? Something WRONG with this 2011 America…
