Pit bull owners live in a dream palace, where all dogs are good, and when they are bad, it can be attributed only to bad ownership or the dogs being “provoked” by the animals or people they ravage. Never to genetics, never to the fact that pit bulls were bred for impulsive aggression of exactly this type.
At a certain level, pit bull owners understand very well that their dogs are programmed for joy in fighting. They understand very well that when pit bulls attack, it is almost always suddenly and randomly, almost never defensively.
But they can’t admit that. So when their pit bull lunges at a cat and bites its head off, they tell themselves this is the way it is with animals, even though it is rare for any other breed to kill any other animal for no reason. They tell themselves, for a real-life example, when their pit bull attacks and practically scalps a three-year old girl climbing out of a car, that the sudden opening of the car door was the trigger — in other words, the kid had it coming. It’s never the dog’s fault.
Of course real dog fighting men have no such illusions. Dog fighters want pit bulls precisely because they are “game,” because they know that this is the only naturally aggressive breed that can be counted on to fight to the death. They’re not pets, they’re weapons.
What most rescues and shelters fail to tell people who adopt pit-bull type dogs; Pit-Bull Rescue Central, the leading authority of pit-bulls recommends all pit guardians to have a “break-stick”,a wedge-shaped piece of wood used to pry open a pit bull’s jaw during an attack . A break-stick is to pry open a pit bull’s jaw during an attack. “Since pit bulls have a strong fighting background, we recommend that owners also have a breaking stick as a precaution.
Breaking sticks are not something to brag about and the general pubic might have the wrong impression if you walk around with a stick in your hand. Breaking sticks are not illegal, but they are considered dog fighting paraphernalia in certain states and/or with certain law enforcement agents.”
According to Pit Bull Rescue Central, “It is a FACT that our pit bulls, AmStaffs and pit mixes come with a built-in fighting heritage.It doesn’t matter where we get them from, whether it be the pound, a stray we pick up, or a puppy we buy from a breeder. The majority of pit bulls will, at some point in their lives, exhibit some degree of dog-on-dog aggression. Yet, chances are that a “normal” pit bull will not share his affection with other animals.We cannot predict when or where it will happen and we can’t love, train or socialize it out ofthe dog. Pit bulls may not start fights, but they will finish them.”
Do not use a break stick on breeds other than the Pit Bull, you might got bitten.
There are 400 dog breeds and pit bull breeders are the only ones who are breeding for aggression and power to create the ultimate canine gladiator. Most pit bull advocates lack the basic understanding of dog breeding 101 and what pit bill breeders are trying to accomplish.
Most pit bull type dogs are produced by unethical backyard pit bull breeders who are breeding for aggression. They are supplying to dog fighters, drug dealers, people that want a guard dog or a dog that looks like a protection dog.
Pit bull breeders are producing unsafe dogs that compromises public safety and the safety of other people’s beloved pets that live in the same neighborhoods. Pit-bull type dogs are the number one dog surrendered to shelters, a million every year, mostly because of aggression issues. Then many are rehomed by irresponsible pit bull advocates back into our communities.
