Thank goodness. I couldn't bring myself to watch the video. Slightly off topic but I really dislike it when news articles or people in general only mention the breed of dog if it's a pitbull or rottweiler (note "vicious pit bulls", etc throughout the article... you'd never see something like "vicious beagle tears cat in half"). I work with animals and pits are some of the sweetest dogs we have. There are no inherently bad animals, just bad owners. And now it sucks because those dogs are probably going to be euthanized because they're "vicious, out of control pitbulls" when it's really the damn owner's fault. What a shame.

As someone who's worked with animals their whole life, I'm gonna have to disagree. Accounting for less than 20% of the domestic owned population, pitbulls account for 60% or more of attacks. Yes, any dog can be abused, but other breeds aren't as prone to react to that abuse with their own violence. They have been genetically bred for these reactions, just like greyhounds have been to chase, hearding dogs to heard, etc. Yes they can be sweet, but denying their instinctual predisposition to aggression is ignorant.

I agree with you. Pitbulls can be incredibly sweet, they're actually bred to be very loyal to their owners BUT they are one of the few breeds that attack without warning and don't let go. If they are not incredibly well trained they can be dangerous. I've seen so many sweet pitbulls cuddle with me or my friend one day and murder a poodle the next. They might not attack their owners but they sure as shit will murder a cat.
