i don't think that cats actually do that. i think that's one of those old wive's tales.

however, they will chew your finger tips off and your face if you allow them to

that's only if you have the devil in you.

this cat was always waiting for someone to sit down so she could jump into our laps. Once I had the baby's room set up she was always sneaking in there to go sleep in the cot. I couldn't take a chance.

ZombieKitten said:

um, okay.

horatio said:

cats are wonderful. they can always spot the evil.

JasmineFire said:

okay

dude i seriously doubt you have ever even owned a dog...

this is hector



he doesnt even shit without my say so, he is trained and socialised properly and comes from good breeding..

the only lethal thing about any properly conditioned dog is their farts.

Ontario, Canada[7] Active Province August 29, 2005 Pit bulls are not allowed to be imported into or brought through Ontario. Severe fines are in place for bringing new pit bulls into Ontario. Pit bulls owned prior to August 29, 2005 are grandfathered in. All grandfathered pit bulls of over 36 weeks of age are required to be sterilized immediately. Grandfathered pit bulls must be muzzled and leashed on a leash of less than 1.8 metres while in public. Sale of non-grandfathered pit bulls to residents of Ontario is illegal.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada[8] Active City 1990 Pit Bulls are not allowed to be in Winnipeg and all Manitoba by law.

Australia Active Country March 10, 2006 Legislation and implimentation dates varies across the different states, but here is the start of a list of the legislation in the various states: New South Wales[9], Victoria[10], Western Australia[11], Queensland[12], Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory, South Australia, Tasmania.

France[13] Active Country April 30, 1999 Ownership restricted; non-pure-breed animals resembling pit-bulls are to be surgically neutered


United Kingdom[14] Active Country August 12, 1991 Banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991

Denmark Active Country Banned alongside the Tosa in 1991 along with any non-pure-bred dog where either of the races are among the parent or grandparent animals

New Zealand Active Country Must be microchipped, muzzled in public, and cannot be publicly advertised for sale

There are many urban legends surrounding the pit bull, mostly based on the idea that the dogs are physiologically different from other breeds of dog[citation needed]. Many sources propagate the myth that pit bulls have a "locking jaw" mechanism, and that the dog cannot let go once it has bitten. This is untrue.

eraclito said:

beautiful dog...does he bite??

I appreciate the fact that you would rather generalize me by saying I didnt properly train my dog or that I never owned a dog...but I guess you may have a point...god knows no trained animal has never,ever reverted back to their animal instincts...

ufoclub said:

totally spot on, especially lock jaw its total codswallop.

roodboi said:

hector says thank you and because i love him, i have never left him alone with children and he has never had the opportunity to be a bad dog.

my point is all dogs have the potential to become dangerous, pits are no different, it is the owners responsibility to make sure their dogs are under control.

eraclito said:

it's exaggerated. Once a pitbull bites down, it's much hard to force their mouth open compared to most other dogs but they can let go if they want to. Incredibly strong jaws are a well known trait of pitbulls and need to be taken into consideration when deciding to own one.

JasmineFire said:

poke the mf'er in the eye, it will open its jaws then..

j/k

hey j

eraclito said:

hey e. fancy seeing you on yet another thread that is unfairly demonizing pitbulls!

hector's a cutie!

Sorry, but I have to question anyone who purposely obtains a dog of this breed. And that's all I'm going to say, but it goes along the lines of big giant raised trucks and short stature. Anyone get what I'm saying?

JasmineFire said:

i know i am begining to bore myself even..

but hey

Pitbulls are the dogs of Satan; you can see their madness and their pure evil while looking at their eyes...beasts...

constructive comment! I am willing to bet you have never looked in the eys of one close up

mdiver said:

Actually, I have; not so long ago, I was 17 and one of those motherfuckers started to brak me with no reason; his eyes were creepy, the eyes of a mad beast; I bet the owner was as crazy as the "dog": he SMILED at the situation

JoeTyler said:

Then that is the fault of the OWNER not the dog....i am willing to be you have had run ins with HUMANS before but i dont hear you saying "all humans are assholes" ..think before you speak. Having said that you state not so long ago and you were 17 then....so i guess it fits.

Define PURE EVIL..i see you edited and posted pics...i dont see your logic..you just seem like anything you dont like is evil
[Edited 10/6/07 6:27am]

It is a shame that humans have given this breed a bad name...



typical really.
I had an Australian Cattle Dog that had fear aggression. He bite someone when they walked through our yard - luckily just nipped him on the back of his calf but we could not trust him. Whenever he felt fearful and felt threatened he could strike just to protect himself.

My mom has had several Rotties and lost her homeowners insurance just because they found out the breed of dog she had. None of hers had ever been aggressive towards anyone or anything.

I will say this again..humans scare me more than any animal ever could.

JoeTyler said:

i know, i dont even attempt to fuck around with those dogs. I tell the own immediately to put there dog in another room with the door shut.

my intuition is ALWAYS right on and i only get into trouble when i second guess it
