I hate that Google uses 'smart ads'.

Sounds like a great reason to start a boycot Ontario campaign to me

Wow that was great

Google 'put bull bans' It's not just Ontario, it's all over and coming to a city near you

Strange if you ask me, to not go somewhere because there are no pit bulls?

Maybe she just wants to avoid me?

Try again. Many many many states are over turning this law.

And YAY ME! for living in a state that it's already outlawed.

Just because Ontario is doing something so horrific to family pets, doesnt mean other cities will follow suit.

Why must Cass let it go, yet pit bull fanciers don't have to? As long as that .gif is running in CR's signature, the issue is on the table. Speaking of which, here's a link to a CDC study on these sweeties. Not as cute as CR's gif, but informative nonetheless. wonder.cdc.gov/wonder/PrevGuid/m0047723/m0047723.asp

I hate these ads too. One of the sweetest dogs I've ever known is part pitt and she wouldn't hurt a fly. She is the loviest baby. I'd get one myself if it weren't for all the ridiculous restrictions/insurance around here.

Agreed to the poster who said any dog can kill.

Good question.

The CDC later retracted that 'study' because they had lumped too many dogs into the 'Pit Bull' category.

Also - when you have the most popular breed in the country - youre going to have more 'bites' then the less popular breed. If there's 5 million poodles and three dalmations - youre going to have more poodle bites.

Perhaps if you stopped posting threads "bragging" about your dog's picture, you wouldn't get those ads.

 

[CathrynRose]

Good question.

Maybe because the Pit Bull fancier hasnt told you to sleep with one eye open, or that it's family pet was going to kill you - maybe? I dunno... I m just guessing.

 

[chisnpeke]

Does anyone remember when German Shepards were seen as a "vicious" dog? The same thing has happened to Pit Bulls.

If a dog is treated poorly, it will act poorly. It depends on each dog of any breed.

Dont - Open - Them.



FTR - The ad was scene in the "Good wishes for Dash" thread.

That's not true, these dogs can be loving and loved pets for years and years and then just snap.

 

[Breezie]

If Cass was actually posting well-informed content, I know I'd at least be fine with it. But posting that these dogs 'kill for fun' and calling the entire breed 'monsters' doesn't make this poster seem very credible to me on pittbulls.

It's like me going into a thread about horses and telling people they kick people because they like to hear them scream.

 

[Chicago526]

Okay, THAT owner deserves to get bit!

Only time will tell if your pet will go bad.

Any dog can snap. I understand what you are saying and I know that Pit Bulls have killed people. But to stereotype every dog in a single breed is a little much. And yes, it would be possible for that cute little Chihuahua to kill someone and I have Chihuahuas.

It's a personal opinion. Allowed on the DIS, no? or do I need a link for everything?

I'm not doing the research for you. You can search it yourself. Search pit bull attacks and see how often they occur.

Exactly.
