102 6 Nov 2004 - 9:51    kathy S : The public needs to know the truth about these dogs they are as freindly and loving as any other. I have owned pitbulls for 10 years and they have been treated as one of my family. They are around my daughter and her friends without being harmed.
103 6 Nov 2004 - 9:55    Nick : Try to tell my 3 year son that pitbulls are bad dogs.......
104 6 Nov 2004 - 9:57    BIG DRE : THE MEDIA USES OUR BREED FOR SENSATIONALISM. WHY DON'T WE HERE OF POODLE ATTACKS, FURTHERMORE, THEY START THE REPORT OF WITH " PITBULL ATTACKS...." AND MOST TIMES THE DOG IN QUESTION IS NOT A PITBULL AT ALL. BUT BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS A BRINDLE DOG OR A DOG WITH CROPPED EARS AND IS RECKLESS OUR BREED PAYS THE PRICE. AT WHAT POINT DOES THE NEWS BECOME BELEIVEABLE??????????????
105 6 Nov 2004 - 10:02    K.Reilly : Don't judge a dog because of it's breed!
106 6 Nov 2004 - 10:02    Richie : i would sit down the FOX anyday and talk about how great this breeding is.....
107 6 Nov 2004 - 10:04    Sherilyn : i love my 4 pitbulls....they are the nicest dogs in the world!!!!
108 6 Nov 2004 - 10:15    Angela & Mark Guy : We own 2 of these wonderful dogs. They are the most loyal, intelligent, loving and trustworthy companion a family can have. We have 2 children, a 4 year old boy and a 6 month old girl. The kids love their dogs, and the dogs love the kids. Our male dog, Mac, is our son's best friend. They both dressed up as Superman for Halloween and went trick or treating together. Mac also stood at our front door and greeted all the children who were trick or treating at our home. It is time that the media stops sentsationalizing the negative aspects of this breed; the negative is due to irresponsible and ignorant humans. The humans are the ones "mauling" the pit bull, not the pit bull "mauling" the humans. The people treating these dogs so badly deserve to be in jail, not the poor dog being euthanized and blamed for everything. People need to be held accountable for their actions. It is time for the world to stop being racist toward this breed. Breed specific laws are another form of segregation, but in the canine world. You cannot say that every pit bull is vicious, mean, or will attack a human. It is so unfair. I urge everyone to look at the information regarding pit bulls on the UKC and ADBA websites. There you will find statistical information regarding percentages of bites, etc. Be informed before you hate the breed. Most people who talk negative about these dogs have never even met one, that is plain ignorance!
109 6 Nov 2004 - 10:18    Leo Ruazol : Yes, let's get the truth out about PitBulls!!!!
110 6 Nov 2004 - 10:21    Kat Simon : I own a great pitbull that I love dearly who gives unconditional love. I want the world to know the good about this breed not the unjust rep they have.
111 6 Nov 2004 - 10:21    Travis E Cross : I own 5 pitbull's and they are the best family dog on earth!!
112 6 Nov 2004 - 10:24    Ellen Lopiano : Please Please tell the truth about our wonderful pups before they are banned. Pitbulls account for less than 2% of maulings. Have we heard about the Labs and German Shepards that are so overly bred for money that their temperments are compromised by greedy people? Make the people suffer not the animals. They are not born mean, people are mean.
113 6 Nov 2004 - 10:25    Loren-Lee Binaley : I`ve owned pitbulls for 13 years and have never encountered a problem with them ever... A.P.B.T`S are friendly towards people by nature...I have nepews and nieces that come over all the time and they are as gentle with them as they are with anyone else that comes over..
114 6 Nov 2004 - 10:28    John Basden : Can We Ban Races Of People? Nooooooo Can Races Of People Be Naturally Aggressive? If There Parents Were Aggressive? Here Is A Thought Lets Ban The People Who Say The Dogs Are Naturally Aggressive. No Thats Not Right Either. Pleaze Show Some Common Since And Punish The Owners Of People Aggressive Dogs. Punish The Owners Act Not The Dogs Training. I would Be Glad To Open My 32 American Pitbull Kennel Rescue To Fox News
115 6 Nov 2004 - 10:30    Oscar G. (Blue Pride Kennels) : It really bothers me when people ask what kind of dog I own and when I mention the word pitbull, the first thing that comes out of their mouth is "Do you really trust them" All these people have never owned a pitbull in their life, But are quick to judge and criticise.Its about time this wonderfull breed gets some positive media exposure and then maybe these people will have a different opinion.
116 6 Nov 2004 - 10:34    Glori Wilcoxon : We own 3 pits and I spend alot of time trying to promote my dogs. Pits are not bad dogs, they are just owned by bad people some times. Just like with guns, it is not guns that kill, it is the people that kill and it is the people who train the dogs.They are just trying to please their owners. Please do not punish us all. It really isn't fair. Thanks.....
117 6 Nov 2004 - 10:43    Eva Trevino : I own several pitbulls and the are raised with and around my 2 children. My kids help handle, train and love my dogs on a daily basis. This breed has such a bad rap because it's bad owners that make the dogs bad and/or look bad. Just like a bad parent can raise a child up to be bad...same for a dog, ANY BREED! These are WONDERFUL family dogs.
118 6 Nov 2004 - 10:46    micahel house : Get the truth out
119 6 Nov 2004 - 10:51    JEFFREY FRIED : NEVER BAN A BREED,BAN THE HUMAN BEHIND THEM!
120 6 Nov 2004 - 10:54    zuzana balzer : I can't express enough what a kind, loving and loyal breed the apbt is, they are the best dogs I've ever owned.
121 6 Nov 2004 - 10:54    Kristin C. : I have 3 pitbulls and they are very sweet and lovable. I have a 7yr old boy and they do great with him. I just wish that you would make us stop suffering for the other owners that breed theirs to fight. While the rest of us who take care of ours have to suffer for what the bad owners do.
122 6 Nov 2004 - 11:01    GLENN COSTELLO : SEE FOR YOURSELF IN A CONTROLLED OBSERVATION, RATHER THAN ONE SET-UP FOR THE MEDIA'S OWN AGENDA....PLAIN & SIMPLE.
123 6 Nov 2004 - 11:25    Sam B : Pitbulls are a great dogs. They will give 110% just to please you. Pitbulls are not people aggressive unless forced or trained that way. Pitbulls are dogs that want to please. Yes they can be dog agrressive but so can any other type of breed. When a Pitbull attacks we need to look at the person who owns the dog or what the person was doing before the dog attacked. I was attacked by a Chow Chow and I don't see them being baned.
124 6 Nov 2004 - 11:58    Eric Alaniz : Help educate the public on our breed.....the American Pit Bull Terrier.
125 6 Nov 2004 - 12:21    MARLON hUFFIN : This is ture we all need to come together to save this breed.Most people who are scared of pits never really been around them.They are just believing the hype they here in the metor.Take timeout and deal with the dog then judge.Some of the strories you here on the news how do we know what that dog was going threw in all fairness.Everybody who owens them are not good oweners.It should be the master getting punished not the dog.
126 6 Nov 2004 - 13:43    Heidi Klotz : This is one of the most Beautiful ,Loyal,Wonderful misundersttod breeds.I Have been exhibiting and breeding this awesome breed for years with my three children.Proper Care and quality time makes a well adjusted properly socialised dog!
127 6 Nov 2004 - 13:53    Jenna Brown : Ive raised bred and showed APBTs for years, there is little to no truth to the midia HYPE on pits ask anyone whos ever owned or even met one
128 6 Nov 2004 - 13:57    Micci Shannon : I have owned many breeds of dogs, and after getting my APBT I can honestly say I will never own any other breed again. This is the most loving and loyal dog I have ever had. I have 4 kids and she is so gentle with them. My 2 yr old son lays on her like shes a big pillow and she just wags her tail and licks his hands and feet. THIS IS THE NORM FOR THIS BREED! Please help people to see that, so I can stop watching people rip their hands back from petting my dog after I tell them what breed she is.
129 6 Nov 2004 - 14:24    Melissa Hernandez : I have two blue pits and they are the most loving and loyal dogs that I have ever owned.My 2 children love them and have helped raised them to become the most friendly dogs that we have owned.We need to let people know that no mater what kind of dog you own, that animal will always protect his family.
130 6 Nov 2004 - 15:08    Michael Horton :
131 6 Nov 2004 - 16:02    robert mason 3rd : ive bred pitbulls for over 20 yrs my 8 kids were and still are being raised around them and none of them or thier friends have ever been bitten by any of my dogs i show my dogs now and we have no problems with them attacking any one or anything
132 6 Nov 2004 - 19:47    CAROL PATTERSON : The pit bulls are not the problem it is selfish people who do terrible things to such great dogs for there own amusement,if it is not the pit bulls they will use another breed to amuse there self. I believe a jail sentince and a huge fine will stop alot of this...
133 6 Nov 2004 - 20:19    BiggDogg : Before anyone can make a judgement call on banning a certain breed, you should have an intiment knowledge of that breed... Remember, Hitler was a supporter of BSL. He killed millions to get his point across :(
134 6 Nov 2004 - 21:12    Gary Moore : I've bred/been around pit bulls for over 23 years, and i have never had any of my dogs show aggression towards me or my children because of how they were bred/raised. Its fear among people that want them banned.
135 6 Nov 2004 - 21:14    stephanie davenport : all i have to say is i have got six living in my house and they are all big baby's
136 6 Nov 2004 - 21:31    ROB MARLEY : I have been arounf APBT'S for over 10 years.I own 2 males and a female and have never experienced any human agrression with my dogs toward anyone of any age or color. Knowledge can prevent fear!
137 6 Nov 2004 - 22:13    Miguel Quintanilla : I've been around the breed all my life starting as a child. My Dad owned pitbulls while he as growing up too. I've been breeding, and training APBT's for 6 years now, and have never had any problems with human aggresion. They are protective for their pack members. And sometimes the media spins that as being agressive, and unstable. A well bred, well socialized APBT is the best family pet and protector.
138 6 Nov 2004 - 22:14    Michael Moreira : Honestly, I too was one of those who believed all the hype about this breed. Then my wife (who grew up around APBTs) convinced me to get one. And I am so glad that I did. I will never own another breed of dog.They are the most loyal and loving dogs. The people who want them banned are the ones who know absolutely nothing about them and have probably never come into contact with one.To not have met a well trained, loving APBT is a shame!
139 6 Nov 2004 - 22:22    Anna Stathatos : APBT are the best dogs anyone could have. They are smart,obedient, loving, very tolerant towards kids my 7 year old son is proof to that. I have my dog for about a year and am now purchasing a second. They are so great one is not enough.Help prmote this great breed.
140 6 Nov 2004 - 22:28    april : APBTs are one of the best dogs on earth i'm not a pitbull owner yet but i have been around a few and i love them. i hope to have my own pit sometime soon. i think people should try to get to know these poor animals before they go and judge them.
141 6 Nov 2004 - 22:37    Alyssa Moreira : I truly believe that the APBT is the most wonderful, loving breed. My family has owned many APBTs and both my husband and I now own 3. We affectionately call them our "kids". They are the most lovable and playful dogs with our 9 nieces and nephews (ages 3-17). One of the biggest problems that exists is that people can't even correctly identify an APBT. So as soon as there is a dog attack, the dog ia automatically assumed to be an APBT. The public needs to forget all the bad stuff they've heard and listen to all of the responsible APBT owners!
142 6 Nov 2004 - 22:55    Christopher D . Behrens : All the media from news channels to animal planet, protray that incredible animals are killers and viscous. These dogs are the most mannered and efficient dogs I have ever came across. We need to start punishing the deed and not breed when abuse has taken place.
143 6 Nov 2004 - 22:57    Julie Orta : I am the proud owner/breeder of 5 American Pitbull Terriers, Bozack (4 yrs), Ceirah (1 yr) Zoe (1 yr) Droz (male 1 yr) and Solo (4 months)My 12 year old son has the Droz. I believe that they are the most wonderful breed and very loyal. I call all of mine my kids. I have 4 daughters and 1 sons.I believe that Pitbulls are wonderful if they are in the right hands.I have seen people who abuse and neglect these dogs and I feel very sorry for them. I think that, before anyone judges them or bans them, they should take a look at the owners and ban the "BAD OWNERS" and not the dogs. I also believe, If you do wrong to the animal then the same should be done to you. I have seen ALOT of pitbulls that were beat and still have high spirits. Like I said before, IT'S NOT THE BREED, IT'S THE IRRESPONSIBLE OWNERS.
144 6 Nov 2004 - 22:58    jackie miller : i wish people that have never been around this wonderful breed would lay off. i own 3 of them and they just love every one, they think they should sit an everyones lapand give out kisses to all they meet. my grandchildren just lay all over them and they just lick them and love all the attention. so if you have not been around the breed please aquaint yourself with them and find a love you will never forget. the problem is owners that don't love and respect the breed that has made the breed lose face, they are like babies and if you abuse a child all their life they turn bad well so does ANY DOGNOT JUST APBT.
145 6 Nov 2004 - 23:26    DENISHA FREY : I HOPE THIS HELP STOP BAN THE PIT CAUSE IT'S NOT THE PITBULL IT'S THE PEOPLE!
146 6 Nov 2004 - 23:38    Andy Martin : We own several American Pitbull Terriers and we have never had a problem with any of them. They are the most loyal of all dogs. Punish the Deed not the Breed
147 6 Nov 2004 - 23:45    Carlos M. Rodriguez : This is an unbelievable breed. I have found it to be this best with kids and my family. I have had an incounter to which a woman was pitting my dog saying how beautiful it is and how great it behave's and when I told her it was a pitbull she freacked out oh my god those dog's are killer's, When for a half an hour before it was a different story. Ignorance is this breeds worst enemy and the false and negative way the media portray's this breed. It's long over do to where the media made a positive view and realistic view of this great animal. I feel we should really push for this positive chance with the media to happen. Even though they might cut it to a 60second clip we need to fight for a worth while portral and episode so that 60 sec one doesnt happen.
148 6 Nov 2004 - 23:47    Erica Hughes : Pit Bulls are wonderful dogs if you don't hit them, kick them, and smack them around!
149 7 Nov 2004 - 0:01    Juan Gonzalez : The truth should be spoken about the breed. Bad owners/breeders need to be exposed. Tell the truth about the dog pounds that kill these dogs as soon as they come in and give other breeds a chance to be adopted. More pressure should be put on pit bull registries to enforce breeding restrictions.
150 7 Nov 2004 - 0:08    G Scott : I have owned a Pit bull for ten years with a young child in the house. The only dog he has been bit by is the neighbors. Which by the way was not a pit bull but a retriever. Maybe we should ban retrievers now, sounds silly right?
