I was really disappointed with your Ferdie poem, and really would like to ask you to reconsider your opinions. As a owner of several “pitbulls” , and with experience with the breed personally http://www.flickr.com/photos/vivid_crystal/sets/72157603462863309/ I feel you are passing out a dangerous opinion.
All dogs have the potential to be dangerous. Pin pointing one breed of dog is dangerous stereotyping. We lived next door to a guy with a golden retriever, and I was almost bit by it. This is the type of dog everyone considers to be “safe”.
I was bit in the face by a dashund as a child, very close to my eye, so I know how traumatic that even a small dog bite can be, this is why I do believe that if a dog bites, it should be put down. No dogs life is more important then a humans.
All I ask is to replace your poem with something that doesn’t specifically target pitbulls. They are already the most abused dog breed by humans, do we really need to further abuse them.

Is that poem sayin tht all pitbulls are evil then thats a bunch of rubbish because i had 2 pitbulls and they had a heart of gold they never heart anyone and on my 13th birthday they were taken away by the antrim council.

Owners train dogs 2 fight dogs just have to live that way and they get punished not the owners
so this pure breed us humans pick on cause they are a strong dog is gonna end !!

I absolutly hate this Poem. You have the story all wrong Pitbuls are only mean and scary because of the human that trained them to be. Pitbuls are one of the most affectionet dogs and well obedient. I hate that you think Pitbuls are mean and “Eat People”. You are sending out a horible signale to people who do not know about Pitbuls and now they will dislike them also. Millions of Pitbuls die in shelters because people think the way you do.

It’s been proven pitbulls are not aggressive by nature. They are actually affectionate playful dogs. It’s the owners who trin them to be violent. Man is the real beast.

All dogs have the potential to go haywire. A haywire Pitbull is worse than many other dogs because of their sheer power and tenacity. Haywire Pitbulls / Staffs (both powerfully-built dogs) were regularly reported as going haywire by the British press. ‘Oh, he’s never done anything like that before etc. etc.’ said the owners.

Maybe the UK attitude to Pitbulls is different to that in other countries, but once you’ve read one account of how a child has been savaged by a Pitbull you tend to get a bit cold hearted.

QUOTE
The dog must be registired in the dangerouse dog index, it has to be nutuerd, microchipped, tattooed and insured. The dog shall never be bred, and you can never sell or exchange the dog or offer, advertise or expose the dog for sale. That also inclusdes making the dog a gift, or advertise the dog as a gift. To walk the dog in a public place it should be muzzled and kept on lead at all time. You can never abandon the dog or allow it to stray.

There’s nothing inherently bad about pitbulls, and to say so is wrong. Any dog can be trained to be vicious, and any dog can be trained to be loyal and gentle.

Thats not fair. I beleive that you can teach a maltese puppy to be meean and agressive. I beleive that its the owner thats agressive not thae dog. please don’t say things like that about pits. I love my Pit Bull and she would never ever hurt anyone. unless they hurt me and thats because she loves me. I beleive that a lab would protect their owner. any dog would.

Pitbulls do not have vice like jaws. Their jaws are like any other dogs jaws. It is their no quit attitude that allows them to grab hold and not let go of things even if painful.
