No it is not incorrect.
A great many dogs were culled and it is documented.

Can you please post a source of this documentation? I am legitimately interested.

We tossed for corners and I won. When we went to weigh Rowdy, he acted like a wild animal. He wanted to eat anyone that came near him but his own owner and trainer, and even they could not get him weighed. They suggested weighing him after the battle, and of course I would not agree to his. A dog loses weight during a battle, and besides it wasn't hurting my cause any for Rowdy to be upset and acting like the Tasmanian Devil, so I let them wrestle with the problem of how to get him weighed. They finally decided to tie together one leg of a pair of overalls, and then put Rowdy head first into the other leg, and got him on the scales. He was under the required weight all right.We washed the dogs and after the washing each man agreed to turn his own dog loose, - I didn't want to have to hold that man-eater.

Red eyed dogs as red as a ruby. Wild to go very hot dogs that would eat up a person, and Flo would speak up and say “Lord yes,” as she pulled up her long cotton dress to her knees and pulled her knee socks down to her ankles to show her scars from dog bites.

There's a few BIG names in pit bull history. No culling of biters. [/FONT]

These and many more from the Colby line were well know for stability around people and often other animals.

NEWBURYPORT, Feb 2, 1909 -- Bert, the 2-year-old son of Mr and Mrs Walter Leadbetter of Lynn, was killed this afternoon by a fighting bull terrier, owned by his uncle, John P. Colby, at 36 Franklin st.

Mrs Leadbetter and her son had come here to visit her brother, who is a dog fancier. The little fellow wandered into the yard where the kennels are.
The dog sprang at the child's neck and growling ferociously shook him like a rag. Then the savage animal, dropping its prey, snapped at other portions of the body, inflicting a number of wounds.
Mr Colby ran out, drove the dog a

Again,,,, where does this relate to my topic that I asked politely to stay away from bashing dogs or snakes?

I am in no way bashing pit bulls. Just refuting something commonly touted as "fact" that isn't true based on historical accounts of breed history.

You focus solely on pit bulls again. There are plenty of capable dogs. Tosa Inu, Presa Canario, Cane Corso, and many other bull breeds. NONE are any better or worse than the next.

I focused on Pit Bulls simply because of mis information on that breed being spread on this thread. I actually mention the Fila myself in a post further up.

"Just another Dog" what does that even mean?

ALL animals require certain responsibilities.

Some breeds require a higher level of responsibility than others. Pit Bulls, Presas, Tosas, Filas, Ovcharkas, Dogos, and other bull/molosser/guardian breeds are zero mistake dogs and should NOT be owned by your typical pet dog owner.

How many breeds out there do owners need to carry a break stick for?

There are a great many large and small dog breeds that have committed "crimes" against humans.

Yes, but fatal maulings tend to come from just a handful of breeds

ANY legislation against a breed, which is also proven not to work infringes on my rights and the rights of others.

Idiots will do what they do and I can't prevent that.

Responsible people should be able to own the dog they want.

I am against BSL for the same reasons.

However, with Pit Bulls, a breed I champion and love there is a LOT of propaganda out there. Anti pit bull people tout them as evil, soul less, killing machines. Pro pit bull advocate that they are just like any old dog! It all matters how you raise them, that they were nanny dogs! That human aggressive pits were typically and consistently culled from the breeding programs.

Like most things in life, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

The pro pit bull propaganda is just as dangerous to the breed. People who are not capable of handling the responsibility of owning a genetically aggressive, powerful high prey/fight and incredibly driven breed buy into it and end up with a dog that kills another pet or even a child.
