Top 10 Most Dangerous Breeds - Page 2

You should read the article.  The 10 top most dangerous breeds are brands of people.  It's a good read if you're interested.

Terrificly accurate article! Two thumbs up.

Man, this is just dumb. More whinning about how animals are better than people. The fact is, some breeds have been bred specifically to inflect damage on people or other animals. These are the same clowns that say "Guns don't kill people, people kill people".

Finally, an article that true.  I even had to educate my mom on the myth of the "locking jaw" of pitbulls, and other myths.  I got a chuckle out of this article and sent it to my doggie friends.  Good find Stormhasit

A good article with some excellent points. 

Guns don't kill people. They don't aim and fire themselves.

I'm with 4pack on this one.  It takes a person to purchase the gun, unlock the saftey, load the mag, and pull the trigger.  The gun that does that all by itself would be really kind of nifty....kind of like the knives that jump into the air and stabb you.

"The fact is, some breeds have been bred specifically to inflect damage on people or other animals."

I thought I would address this statement - so the dogs selected and bred themselves so they could be more aggressive and inflict more damage?  Gee - I thought it was people that did the selection and the breeding. 

And it makes me wonder how fewer aggressive dogs we would have if the bad breeders wouldnt breed dogs with crummy temperments...sure you'll get a few...but it wouldnt be nearly the same number.

An animal's actions reflect several things;

How it is being raised, cared for, trained and treated.

How it was bred - for sound temperament, conformation, health and type etc

Oddly enough both of these things are controlled by people.

This is an excellent article.  I really enjoyed reading it.  I am an advocate for all dog breeds and well honestly all animals. 

This really made me chuckle because so many times, I have heard those stereo-types thrown out. 

Great post!

Acknowledging that the breeder or owner (or both) did a crappy job does not make the animal any less dangerous. Did people create it? Sure. Is it the fault of the kid riding his bike down the street who gets mauled? Of course not. I am against BSA in every form, make no mistake, but not every dog is a sweet little cuddlebug and can be treated as such. How many of you have had to handle multiple dogs that genuinely wanted to hurt you?  I feel sorry for the dogs, sure, but my concern is first and formost the community as a whole, especially children.

Great article.
