I know...My cats ate a raw wing this morning...Holy Crap im going to be cat meat!

Seriously? I mean unless your saying its a negleted dog, which wouldn't be shown a lot of care, but thats different, as negleted dogs aren't usually shown proper care and compassion, but there are many of them that are great pets, and love people even after being treated like crap, but I don't think that a hungry dog is more dangerous then a just fed dog.

wtf??? so u reckon a hungry pit will hunt a human for food? oh get a grip!..

so in that respect raw fed dogs have blood lust eh?........

I knew a guy years ago who had 2 pit bulls they were the friendliest most lovable dogs I ever met

I think dogs are like kids, they're not born bad it's upbringing and lifestyle that shapes their behaviour. Yes there will always be an exception to the rule but in the main in the right hands Pit Bulls are no more dangerous than any other breed.
All dogs are capable of inflicting damage and if they did a 'true' survey I bet there's more people bitten by small/toy dogs than larger breeds but as they don't inflict as much damage it's laughed off rather than bitten off

All people should be vetted before owning a dog, there's a reason these rescues do home checks and have strict rules about adopting a dog, it's a shame not all breeders do the same. There are some very good breeders out there but unfortunatley there's twice as many who don't care about anything but £'s

That's my opinion

I must admit I am one of those people who is nervous of pit bulls.

I work as a vet nurse in a very busy practice and I would say that in my experience pit bulls and staff/pit crosses tend to be unpredictable, have a very high pain threshold, many tend to be dog aggressive (proberbly owner fault here but it does seem to be a breed trait), and having seen the damage one inflicted on his owner I would never own one. Only last week we had one which had torn the families other dog within an inch of her life. I am not saying another dog breed wouldnt have done this if provoked, but its possible she would have come off alot worse.

I always put my dogs on a lead when approaching these type of dogs, and my concerns were noted when one attacked my dog and he ended up with stitches on his throat where it locked on (staffxpit) and if it wasnt for his owner prising open its jaws with a metal bar I hate to think what would have happened.

Not saying other dogs cant do damage, but I am always extra wary of pit bulls and pit mixes!

i have had the opposite experience, until recently worked in a surgery where 90% of these types were patients...i found they are actually wimps lol..and most were very sociable(much to some of their owners disgust lol)...infact its one of Tupacs fav type of dog to play with because of all the GOOD experiences he had from young.

I personally think that all dogs can be classed as 'dangerous'. Pitbulls are no more dangerous than other dogs. If you talk capabilities, they are on the same level as a Rotty, American Bulldog, Bullmastiff, etc etc. They are moulded into a status symbol by sad people these days in our society. All puppies are born innocent, and they will only learn what they are taught. I say ban the owner not the dog.

Have I missed something, as I thought pit bulls were banned in the UK?

They are banned but there is still a large number about. Partly because the type is continuingly recreated from perfectly legal breeds.

No, they're not dangerous, just dangerous owners!!
