you know the answer. most people are ignorant scumbags.

There are enough dangerous dogs in the world already.
I have three 'bullies' but my view is when a dog launches an unprovoked attack on someone, it needs to be PTS!
If the dog is provoked or attacking in self defence, then perhaps the dog can be re-homed/retrained as it's actions weren't uncontrollable.
In all honesty, when someone goes to a shelter to adopt a dog, you really think they will adopt the dog who has a history of attacks? No, they won't. People only believe that if they are living in a fairy land that is lit up by elves wiggling their arses.

Normally when a dog attacks a person the owner can appeal it and say they want to to try and rehabilitate the dog and will keep it in the home under supervision.

This happened to a friend, they went to someones house and got bit by there dog. Then they went to court over it and the lady agreed to keep the dog under her supervision at all times and only on her property.

Then the dog got out again and bit again. After that the dog had to be destroyed by law.

Do you know what worse then blaming one dog? Blaming the whole breed!

because there stupid iggnorant twats n the wanna START PUNISHING THE OVER END OF THE LEAD !! because of half witted owners who wanna look badass n cool, on the ova hand any dog can snap but a savage dog was brought up that way and to do that!!

It's very easy for people to blame the dog instead of looking at it's owner. Nobody asks questions like was the dog trained, was it abused, was it loved, was it locked up and never show affection? That's the ignorance behind breed specific legislation. Yes some dogs have different temperaments, but it's up to the HUMAN to make an intelligent decision in all aspects of dog ownership, from making the right choice in breed, to making the right choices in having it socialized and trained properly, to caring for it wisely, loving it and being RESPONSIBLE for it. I have a pit, have always had pits. They are the most wonderful dogs ever in my opinion. I pitty the ignorant fools who have never took the time or aquired the knowledge to appreciate the breed.

Where did the idea originate from that there is not such thing as a bad dog & it only matters how you raise it?

Genetics first & foremost.......what the dog is given by nature, can be molded with training, but the basic temperament cannot be changed.
Environmental factors are important, but if the dog is mentally unsound, that is how it will remain. A capable owner would recognise the faults in their dog & if possible train it to control the behaviour.

If a dog is mentally unstable & poses a real threat to adults & children, then it would have to be euthanized.

No rescue, breed or general could in good conscience rehome a dog with a bite history because it may bite again, there could be legal ramifications & there are many stable dogs waiting for a place or in rescue.

Whoa! How can you praise the well trained protection dog while completely disagreeing with it? NO ONE who's honest has 100% success rate with problem dogs over 30 years, unless of course they greatly narrow the definition of 'success' and/or 'aggression'. Reminds me of the Dog Whisperer episodes where the dogs are so dangerous that only Cesar can deal with them...they can never be trustworthy enough for normal life, and must stay with Cesar. But because Cesar can handle him, it's a 'success'. THIS is not success, this is not rehabilitation. This is a narrowing of the dogs environment, an adaption to it's severe GENETIC flaws. These dogs are taken out of a normal environment because success can NOT be achieved within it.
Only someone with a 'no guard dogs' agenda and such an obvious lack of understanding of basic instincts and drives would make such ridiculous observations.
To answer the question - others here have it right .... some dogs are unfortunately beyond help.

edit: aha! I see Mr/Ms. '100%' has left the building.
