    ...job like pitbull (bred to kill)

     

     

    Pitbulls are NOT bred to kill! No one likes discrimination! Just because Pitbulls are used as fighting dogs does not mean ALL OF THEM are killers! Sandlawood, I believe you are very wrong. Pitbulls are not born killers. They are trained killers. Trained by humans. If humans don't train the Pitbulls to kill, they make perfectly good companions. I should know. My sister used to own one. I think his name was Cole.



    Amercain Pit Bull Terriers(Thier REAL name,not Pitbulls) were bred to fight/kill(In Mexico,I belive) before they were bred to be conpainon dogs.HUMANS still train APBTs for fighting,which tends to become SUCH A BIG DEAL,that they tend to be humanely killed if they get resuced because they will be scared and scarred for life of humans.Also,YetAnotherMember, Sandlawood, is just stating the truth,they were bred to be fighters and killers,until they started bredding them for compaionship.

    P.S: Padfoot,I am sorry the caps.I don't like the bolden tool(Also, ABPT is suposed to be in caps.)

    I am not trying to be mean,but,that is the cold hard truth.I am sorry if I sound mean,I have grown to be like when I rate fonts on Neopets.

    Re: What are Worker Dogs?

    I agree with YetAnotherMember.

    My grandmother rescued a pit bull from a rescue shelter named Muffin, and the dog only had 3 days to live or else they were going to euthanize her because she was aggressive. But after my grandmother took her home, she was still a little on the edge with her attitude. But over time, my grandmother was able to calm her down and now she is the most lovingest dog that I have ever known. Pit bulls may have "been bred to fight" but thats only because of HUMANS. If humans hadnt messed with them in the first place, they would be fine from the start. But its not the dogs fault as of why they are aggressive, its the owners. If the owner doesnt give them much attention and doesnt socialize the dog and encourages them to go after other dogs, then the dog is going to become overly aggressive and will want to fight. But if the owner does the opposite and takes his/her time to take care of the dog and love it and socialize it, then the outcome will be great. And a lot of times in the shelters, the caretakers accidentally corner the pit bulls, and the dogs take it as a threat, and their natural defense is to be aggressive towards whatever they think is trying to threaten them. Some people may not realize that some movements and actions may scare the dogs or cause them to do such things. This is what happended to Muffin, the caretakers at the shelter would corner her "accidentally" with the water hose, and now because of them, she is terrified of water.

    This thread is getting way off topic. The question has pretty much been answered, and now people are going on about pit bull terriors. Padfoot? Intervention please?

    Happy to -- yes both the worker dog and pit bull issue seem to be exhausted. I think the thread is done. I won't delete/lock it unless it flames up again.
