Quindi sono cresciuto con i pitbull e tutti erano molto leali con noi e così amorevoli. Uno di loro odiava gli altri cani, due amavano gli altri cani e un altro era indifferente. Erano semplicemente cani normali e sciocchi, solo più forti e più iperattivi.
Se fossi in me, non sopprimerei i pitbull attualmente vivi, ma li bandirei, ad es. rendere illegale l’allevamento dei pitbull fino alla loro estinzione. Questo non perché penso che siano intrinsecamente cattivi, ma a causa del loro aspetto, ai più grandi stronzi piace comprarli, prenderli in giro, riempirli di questa rabbia (ci sono modi), ed uscire con loro scatenati per guardare "Freddo". Alla gente piace anche usarli per i combattimenti tra cani. I rifugi sono anche pieni di pitbull perché i loro proprietari originali non si rendono conto di quanto siano forti ed energici e finiscono per essere più di quello che si aspettavano.
Come amante degli animali, mi sono sentito profondamente triste per il cane che è stato sbranato da questo pitbull. Questa è stata la mia prima reazione, non la frustrazione per il fatto che ToM abbia menzionato la razza del cane. Essendo io stesso cresciuto amando i pitbull, non penso che dovremmo nascondere che sono pitbull quando eventi come questo fanno notizia. Dovremmo attirare l’attenzione su tali eventi e, si spera, fare un passo avanti verso la messa al bando di questa razza, per il nostro bene, per il bene dei nostri cani e per il bene dei pitbull. Il problema sono gli stronzi che li comprano per sembrare belli e resistenti, e l’unico modo per affrontare efficacemente questo problema è vietare i pitbull. Ancora una volta, non per sopprimere i pitbull vivi, ma per fare in modo che non nascano più pitbull. Questa razza deve estinguersi perché non puoi fidarti delle persone.
Qual è la tua opinione al riguardo?

Banning the existence of a dog seems crazy to me. Why not put restrictions on the breed with heavy fines, instead? Its the people that are the problem, not an innocent creature.
People will not learn until there is a law which states dog attacked X is the same as if the owner attacked X.
I.e. dog killed a person = owner killed a person.
Certain pitbull breeds are inherently more temperamental than most breeds. The breed in general is also physically capable of inflicting more damage than the average dog – strong jaws, muscular build, etc.
That being said. A responsible owner who trains and loves their dog, can make any dog the sweetest, purest animal on the planet.
The issue is that with pitbulls, especially American XLs, there is *very* little room for error in terms of training and handling. Things can go very wrong, very quickly.
I’m in favour of banning problematic breeds moving forwards. Yes, it is incredibly sad that a pet dog was mauled – but it is not a huge stretch of the imagination for us to be discussing the aftermath of a toddler being mauled instead.
I dont know what the best future policy landscape is, but there’s definitely a better regulation landscape than what we have presently.
For reference: I’ve got a rescue tal (apologies for the botched spelling) fennec / tal (apologies again) katcha cross. He’s coming up on 9 years and makes the house a home.
Dog owners are the problem. There seems to be a big problem with lack of responsibility and control over the dogs here. There’s a guy on my street who has a pitbull and regularly I see it wandering up and down the street alone. I’ve also seen him taking it for a walk and it’s never on a lead. It’s so annoying.
I used to go walking around the north of the island, and the amount of dogs running around with the owner nowhere in sight was ridiculous. Not small dogs either. Boxers, dobermans, German Shepherds. I’m used to dogs as I grew up with them, but even so I know that they are powerful and unpredictable.
Edit : as I’m sitting at the cafe now, a woman arrived with a huge mastiff of some kind, absolutely enormous. The owner must be all of 40kg and tiny. No way she has any control over the dog
I think some specific breeds should require a license (depending on a training course for the prospective owners) before they can be legally owned. And insurance.
I’m well aware that the dogs nature has a lot less to do with its nature, whether aggressive or not, than with its upbringing, training and owners behaviour, but unfortunately we keep having idiots keeping strong breeds just for the sake of looking tough.

I agree with everything you are suggesting with one exception. The desire to fight to the death that exists within pits is a trait that was bred into them. They may never act on it but there is always the danger that trait will be triggered. Dumb, violent owners can certainly exacerbate the danger but plenty of fatal attacks have come from pits owned by normal, loving people.
Extremely irresponsible of the dog owner and I’m glad they’re getting fined. Whoever wrote that the dog is to be “destroyed” needs to stop writing news articles however.
I personally never blame a dog it’s a helpless animal for gods sake but an dumbass of a god owner Thats who I blame. I remember this time my friends mum got attacked by a pit bull and the owner said these words I quote. “What do you want me to do about it, it’s a dog” (in Maltese) and he just walked off and then the search for this dumbass was long but they found im and sadly the dog has to go to sleep and I thought this is not the dogs fault but a stupid owner but they punished a dog.😭😭
Pitts shouldn’t be pets.
There’s a reason some breeds are marked dangerous.
I live in a society that about 10 years ago decided to ban certain breeds and you know what, we do not have to worry about dogs creating bodily harm to other pets or humans and you know what’s even better I never hear how much these dog breeds are missed, but no !!!! Not in Malta ma tarax !!!!!!
