Another pitbull kills, this time a little girl

[OctagonGecko729]

Pit bulls can make great pets, but saying they aren't more dangerous than other breeds is like saying a Reticulated python isn't more dangerous than a ball python.

The argument about bite frequency is also completely irrelevant. Pit bulls are genetically different than other breeds. They have the ability to inflict significant damage. Is a nippy ball python that always bites more dangerous than a tame 15ft retic??

I do completely agree with you that if you own these animals you have to treat them with the respect they are owed. The fatalities from "harmless" animals come from people ignoring or forgetting the fact that their animals can kill them. I for one will never forget or not adhere to proper protocols that keep me safe when dealing with large constictors and large breeds of dogs. I also, wouldn't allow a small breed to have access to a infants room.
