I visited an LA animal shelter site on the internet one day and the shelter was FULL of pits. It's very sad.

AND THIS GUY HAD HIS DOG AT PETSMART?!  What an idiot!!! Aggghhhh! That man (and his dog) are a disaster waiting to happen. (Hopefully it's not a child that gets in that dog's way in the future.  )
I would have reported him to the manager and had him removed from the store. IMO, there's not place for people like that in public!

Unfortunately, there are people like that. There was a young boy who was slapping his pit bull puppy in front of a video store, I walked up and asked what he was doing and if I could show him how to pet the dog correctly - he said the same damn thing!
It's these dogs, who are bred, that result in vicious puppies. I heard recently (I don't remember where) that pit bulls are trained to ignore pain - that's why they don't let go…it's really a sad thing. I think there should be laws against certain ways to up-bring your dog - as if that would ever happen…Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't believe *all pit bulls or *all of any breed are bad, vicious, or mean, - it's just that *certain type of upbringing that creates reasons for the stereotyping of the dog.
