451 9 Nov 2004 - 1:14    Karen B. : FOX news really should report the positive sides of the American Pit Bull Terriers. I understand that negative issues tend to get peoples attention (and boast ratings), but come on lets be fair! For every negative report done about a Pit Bull there are hundreds of positive stories that never get any mention.
452 9 Nov 2004 - 1:19    Lynn H. : Yes, I agree we need to educate people about pit bulls. Though I don't have one myself, I have friends that do and they have been great pets for the family and with kids!
453 9 Nov 2004 - 1:19    dusty driskell : i love pit bulls. its all in the way they are raised. if you buy one to make it a mean watch dog it will be mean if you buy it to be a good companion it will be

455 9 Nov 2004 - 1:19    Shandi Gillespie :
456 9 Nov 2004 - 1:20    A. Schmidt : It's time for some positive media attention for this breed!
457 9 Nov 2004 - 1:21    Marc Eggers : Any dog can be mean and any dog can be loving. It all depends on how they are raised and their owners. No type of dog should be labeled bad for a few bad eggs.
458 9 Nov 2004 - 1:22    heather wilson : i don't want to be outfoxed!!
459 9 Nov 2004 - 1:23    Donald C. : It's not pitbulls we need to worry about, it's the owners that teach pitbulls to be vicious. If you look at the owners of pitbulls that attack children or other people, Iam sure you will find a criminal past.
460 9 Nov 2004 - 1:26    Roberto Garza : I have a pit bull and have been around many others. I have seen people come up to my dog while I'm walking her and say oh she's so cute and proceed to pet her while she happily lick's there hand. Then comes the question, what kind of dog is she? I swear when the word pit bull comes out of my mouth, they either say "you're kidding me, and cant believe it, or slowly pull there hand back (like my dog is going to suddenly attack and chew there arm off) and say does she bite. This is the mentality that we (as loving Pit Bull owners) have to deal with on a daily basis. My dog is the sweetest and most obedient pet that I have ever owned. We live across the street from a elementary school, every day the kids come by and want to see and pet my dog. A lot of the kids already know her by name and my dog loves to see and greet all the kids. ( my point) Why aren't these kids afraid of my dog? Well I'll tell you, kids do not care what kind of dog it is, It's just another dog to them. They do not have this Pit Bull mentality drilled into there head. They see how it really is and not see it by what someone is telling them to see. People are the ones who make this breed to be a monster. I think that people have to be educated on this breed and know that they are not born "people aggressive", they are made that way by there owners.
461 9 Nov 2004 - 1:28    jOSH ELLIS : Pitbulls are a great breed. Stop discriminating against them and let people know they arn't bad animals.
462 9 Nov 2004 - 1:33    J.J. : Punish the deed not the breed. We need a positive segment for our great breed the APBT.
463 9 Nov 2004 - 1:37    Lisamarie Volino :
464 9 Nov 2004 - 1:38    Claire : Please help educate the public on this misunderstood breed.
465 9 Nov 2004 - 1:40    Shannon Mwila : Pitt Bulls are wonderful pets as long as they are properly taken care of. They have been given such a bad name due to the Pitt Bulls that are bred to fight, yet vary few acctually attack humans, unless severly agrevated.
466 9 Nov 2004 - 1:40    DIANA COUTO :
467 9 Nov 2004 - 1:42    patrick c. : dogs are what u make of them. let help ppl understand about these dogs......
468 9 Nov 2004 - 1:45    Janice Snyder : Behaviour modification is the answer. Not for the dogs. The dogs are fine. It's the people who abuse these loving creatures that we need to control. I bet it would also help them quit shooting each other, beating their wives and overloading their bodies with illigal substances.
469 9 Nov 2004 - 1:48    Helen Vasa :
470 9 Nov 2004 - 1:52    Jennifer : Great breed! Make laws against the people trainng these dogs to be aggressive and not against the innocent breed!
471 9 Nov 2004 - 1:57    Daniel Wagner :
472 9 Nov 2004 - 1:57    Carmen Escobar :
473 9 Nov 2004 - 2:04    Stacey Ward : As others have stated, it's not the breed we should ban, but the irresponsible owners that mistreat these wonderful pets. Pit Bulls are loyal, affectionate, gorgeous and intelligent. They deserve our protection. We MUST stop the abuse of this amazing breed. It's so easy to blame the animal, but the real problem is the abusive person that raises these animals to fight. I urge everyone to spend a little time with a Pit Bull and you will quickly see how awesome they really are.
474 9 Nov 2004 - 2:11    Lauren : Help save lives - expose the truth and let these sweet dogs live the happy lives they deserve.
475 9 Nov 2004 - 2:12    James : The owners are the ones that make the dogs bad! These are beautiful dogs and need to be treated that way.
476 9 Nov 2004 - 2:14    Keri Ann : Start punishing the real cause of the problem, the people who are turning these loving puppies into bad dogs.
477 9 Nov 2004 - 2:17    JANET SHEETS :
478 9 Nov 2004 - 2:17    Jessie Potts :
479 9 Nov 2004 - 2:20    Marika Krejci : PUNISH THE DEED NOT THE BREED!! This statement says more than you can ever imagine. Lets start putting forth all this effort into making solutions for the REAL PROBLEMS-THE PEOPLE!! and make people/owners responsible for their own actions!! Just like children, dogs raised by irresponsible people will create irresposible dogs!
480 9 Nov 2004 - 2:23    Kristine : The creatures that inhabit this earth-be they human beings or animals-are here to contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the world ~ H.H. Dalai Lama
481 9 Nov 2004 - 2:24    Patrick McCartney : Dogs are what their owners make of them so focus on their responsibilities should be paramount.

487 9 Nov 2004 - 2:55    Jeanette Kinores : My three dogs that I have a great dogs and very loving and are shown at the UKC Dog Shows. We are very responsible owners and take care of them and are good with kids and friendly. The love to be hugged kissed and are very spoiled and are my three kids and treated the same way. For those people that are irresponsible are the ones that give our breed APBT/AM Staff the bad name.

498 9 Nov 2004 - 3:21    Danielle Giroux : I have been working with these dogs and showing them for over ten years. They are the most loyal loving breed i have ever owned. Like any dog they need responsible owners who socalize and train properly. I have never been bitten by a pitbull, but i have been bitten by an x police dog and a ****er spaniel.
499 9 Nov 2004 - 3:23    Dustin Coffman. : Beautiful breed that has been tarnished by idiots and media hype.
