Pit Bull confrontation... (Read 1239 times)

IMHO I think we should kill all the clowns,creepy bastards

I do agree that clowns are creepy. Maybe it's the mask/hidden/fake smile or fake tear thing. Let's put it htis way, I would not let a clown babysit my children. They seem creepy like that. Maybe we are clown-racists. I think we need a clown here to tell us they are born that way, or have clown rights, or maybe there is a clown-union or something. What kind of dogs do clowns have? Those should be Annihilated, too.

Pennywise is just misunderstood. And Tim Curry is a genius.

If by misunderstood, you mean, "he's even worse than people give him credit for", then I'm with you. And yes, Curry is a genius.

Clowns and spiders...I can't even read "It." The most aggressive dogs I have ever been around seem to be Cocker Spaniels. I grew up with a stupid (but gentle) Springer...hard to believe Springers and Cockers are so closely related. Our next door neighbor has a GSD. Most gentle, fraidy-cat dog I have ever seen. Seneca's afraid of his own shadow. I think our neighbor lady (an older widow) got him as sort of a "guard" dog, but he only *looks* tough.

My parents had to put down their Cocker Spaniel because he got so mean. It was really sad, but he just got out of control. Obedience training didn't help at all.

I think this is him! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KXOnhIhqWM

Ahhh that was hilarious. Thanks for the laugh! I needed that...

As far as I know, pit bulls were originally bred solely for the purpose of fighting (and still are, but perhaps to a lesser degree). To believe they can easily be bred now as family pets is probably quite a stretch. Unfortunately, "there's a reason for the rep". Hypothetically, so what if 9 out of 10 of a certain breed are "good" dogs? 10% risk is pretty high risk, IMO. Carry on , folks!! Bill

First off, did ya'll know that Petey from the Little Rascals was a Pit Bull Terrier? "The American Pit Bull Terrier and its AKC cousins had a well- deserved reputation as a loyal and trustworthy family pet in the early years of this century, but of late has been severely castigated as a vicious, man-killing beast, worthy of banishment from the cities, considered guilty with no chance of proving innocence in any case. "Pit bull" is a generic and derogatory term that encompasses any of several breeds of dogs or crosses on those breeds. Pit Bull fanciers can be divided into several camps: conscientious breeders of the AKC-registered duo who often deny kinship of their dogs with the APBT; ethical breeders of the APBT who face squarely the slander heaped upon them by ignorant neighbors; and unethical breeders of all three breeds who still indulge in dog fighting or promote aggressive temperaments for illegal purposes. Dog fighting rings still exist--it's only been a few years since a ring with national ties was busted in New Richmond and Blanchester, Ohio--and inner city drug dealers often use the dogs to guard their drug supplies and cash. To further complicate matters, those who still breed for fighting are not as careful to preserve the dog's strong instinct to bond with humans as the early breeders did. So, today "pit bull" is a pejorative term that strikes fear in the hearts of many and leads to the spreading of urban legends about dogs with locking jaws that exert 20 thousand pounds of pressure, unstable breed temperament, and overwhelming human aggression. In fact, the well-bred American Pit Bull Terrier is a family guardian and protector; an intelligent and obedient pet; a sweet, even-tempered dog that serves well as a help-mate to handicapped owner and friend to small children; and a healthy, hardy dog that complains little and offers much to his family." -Norma Bennett Woolf The end..I'll bow out now.

I think Spuds MacKenzie, was, too...and he was all about the love.

This is in my neck of the woods. Perhaps they need a trombonist/tromboner (heh). Maybe Jeffgoblue should consider auditioning.

I've seen them before. Those clowns have chops -- they are excellent. But also terrifying -- I can't imagine being around that many clowns at once, esp. ones wielding musical instruments.
