all kinds of dogs get aggressive, and its usually the dog owners fault. i never said that the dog owners were the parents of children getting mauled by dogs. your dog probably wouldnt eat your kids face, but it may take a bite out of another kid that lives down the street. it happens quite often. a kid playing in their yard, up comes dog, takes a chunk out of an innocent kid's face. why do you think rules are strict for pit bull ownership? they are aggressive dogs by nature. its not to say every pitbull will bite a child's face off, but if an animal is proven to be dangerous, it should be put down. /thread.
