If You Have 4 Kids Adopt a Pit Bull
Posted on:
I am all for adopting animals from pet shelters, unless it’s a pit bull and you have 4 small children. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are said to have adopted a pit bull named Lennie. I am not sure if they don’t watch television but where I am from twice a month headlines read “Pit Bull attacks 7 year old child”. For the sake of the family I wish them the best with their new puppy Lennie.

uh, that’s not actually BECAUSE they’re pit bulls. i have three small children and two pit bulls, who are currently curled up sleeping on my bed all together. it’s not the DOGS, people, it’s the people who want tough-looking dogs and ABUSE them until they lash out.
duh.
Even though there are cases like this, or people with Rotweilers, Dobermans, German Shepherds, etc. These are still dogs who even if they don’t bite your children (which they could - and why risk?) they can and do bite other children who may be roughhousing with the kids.
This is incredibly dangerous. It’s just asking for trouble. There are lots of less dangerous dog breeds for kids to grow up with. Too many people, adults and children, not to mention other animals have been maimed or killed by pit bulls.
It is a kind of perverse egotism to want one in spite of all this. There is always the idea that ‘it won’t happen with me or my dog’. That’s what many people say until that pit bull snaps, and plenty do. One has to ask, ‘Would it be worth the physical and psychic pain to me and mine or someone else? Would it be worth the legal bills?’
[…] Brad Pitt and Angelina have a new addition to their family - B&B […]
Hoping the jolie-pitts have the staff to train the pup. ANY puppy can be dangerous and ANY breed dog a menace. I am sure they have it covered. At least I would hope so…
let me just say this to the person who said pit bulls attack a lot of people. pit bulls are VERY often MISTAKEN for the dog that attacked but in reality it was a DIFFERENT breed that was just said to be a pit bull. there are so many dogs that look like pit bulls that they get the blame. this is wrong on so many levels. pit bulls are one of the best breeds around. i personally have 3 and they are the best dogs ever. they get along w/ everyone especially my 1 1/2 year old nephew. please know the correct info before posting artogant comments. if you don’t know then keep your mouth shut.
This nonsense is sickening.
We are a family of 6 and have 2 dogs, one of them is a Doberman Pinscher.
Who is sleeping with our youngest Son right now.
punish the deed, not the breed.
Our neighbor has a Pittie, he is a gentle creature , just like our Dobe.
People are so ignorant. Has the person making the accusations about pit bulls. They were called Nanny dogs because they would take care of children all the time. They have saved countless chilred and not only are they misrepresented in the media, usually dogs of any breed who attack people, especially pit bulls, are abused. When pit bull fighting first became illegal people didn’t know how to train the dogs to fight, they were so friendly! Especially towards humans. So they would get strangers off the street to randomly abuse the dogs so they would become more aggressive. This just goes to show how much the people affect the breed. Angry nasty PEOPLE should not make up a breed. This is a wonderful breed! affectionate and loving. So before you want to give your opinion, read the facts, and actually spend some time with the breed and I’m sure you will change you’re tune. To all the pit bull lovers: Thanks for giving the breed a better name!! A name it deserves!
