Forgive me for returning to the original opening post, as you lot seem to be revelling in the s**t a bit too much.

Anyone care to comment on the sociopathic irresponsibility of some people?
 
err :rolleyes: I have a Pitbull type and Staffie both were/are rescued dogs.
I don't believe them to be any more/less dangerous than any other dog I've owned. Owners are the problem not the dogs.

Yes, I would. Those people whose sociopathic irresponsibility results directly in a death (human or animal), should have their own children and pets taken away from them and put into homes where they will be looked after properly
 
But what about those whose action potentially endanger death or injury? For example, if I go out of the house armed with a knife then I have an intention to use the knife should a set of circumstances present itself.

In the same way, someone who harbours an illegal and acceptedly dangerous dog does so knowing that that animal is likely to behave in a particular way. If you get my drift :confused:
 
I thought that identical twins had the same DNA, is that not right?

That's exactly what I was basing my theory on.... :LOL: ;)
I did say 'I wasn't sure' ..... But Lincs stamped on it as usual....... :LOL:
After reading up on it for an hour or so........I'm none the wiser... :LOL:

Almost all dogs have the same potential to injure or kill, any responsible owner will not allow them to be in a situation where either could happen.

Therein lies the problem - who assesses whether someone is fit to own any dog, yet alone one that tends to have a habit of becoming dangerously erratic more than many other breeds?

he's hit the nail on the head.

i do dog agility and always owned german sheps and at present now own a doberman that is only doing her basic training due to only being a pup.
and half these people who buy dogs as an image thing haven't got a clue
how to be the pack leader, most dogs with aggression issues relates to other problems such as socialising, diet, exercise etc.

I refer you to my previous question.

Why are potential owners not assessed for suitability?

I afraid I don't agree that these "types" are more erratic or prone to attacking other dogs or people. We had a Jack Russel for 16 years he was by far the hardest dog to control we've ever had. Any Springer owner will know how difficult they can be even young owners end up with grey hair.
 
I bow down to your experience and knowledge on these matters.
