The only things that I hate more in this world than ghetto dogs are ghetto dog owners.
You may be asking yourself what a ghetto dog is. Let me explain and I’m sure you will then get it - if not already in the know.
A ghetto dog is usually a certain breed - typically a pit bull or Staffordshire bull terrier. These dogs are rampant across the UK and usually roam around with hooded gangster kids who use them as a status symbol. They are also raised by most of these kids to be aggressive and take part in dog fights or even attack humans.
It is amazing to see how many of these dogs are roaming around London. First off, the owners of these dogs can’t possibly afford to have a large enough yard (if any yard at all) to properly care for these animals, second they dogs are extremely strong and dangerous (when did you last hear of a poodle mauling a child to death?), and lastly these kids are forcing dogs into fights with each other.
Sitting across the street with a view on a park (attached to a council estate) we see these kids drag their dogs out there and force them to fight each other. Sometimes they are brutally hitting the dogs to rile them up. It is pure animal abuse. We’ve called the RSPCA and the police, but by the time anyone shows up the kids are gone. Ridiculous. It is animal abuse run rampant.
So what do I propose?
There should be a ban on jackass, loser, jobless people getting a dangerous dog that can be used as a weapon! And why am I paying taxes for people to live in council estates and buy these animals and feed them anyway?
Amazing afterfact - seems that these dogs are banned in tons of places (including the UK), but people are breeding pretty much similar dogs. See a list here.
Horaayy..there are 8 comment(s) for me so far ;)
Don’t you think that this is closed minded? I came on here because I saw You on MSN, I was intially drawn to you because you seemed different and that intriqued me however,I was wrong about you. I also own some of these dogs and am not Ghetto nor are any of my dogs. Seems as though you should rethink your assumption of these dogs and many of their owners. And not base your global opinion on some local mindless idiots. I would also recommend having the ASPCA pay a little closer attenition to these irresponsible “Ghetto Dog” owners

I agree on the dog owner part, but not the breed part. I own one of these “Ghetto Dogs” and believe me it’s not ghetto nor am I. Punish the deed not the breed. If you look at their history you might learn a thing or two.
It would help to have an ounce of knowledge behind your post. In the early 1900’s they were considered babysitter dogs. Pitbulls are some of the sweetest, most loving dogs out there. Did you ever even try petting one of these ‘ghetto dogs’? \
I love that everyone is so worked up over this post. I don’t like these dogs. There is a reason that they have been banned in 8 countries. I didn’t make this up, folks.
its stupid fucks like yall that ruin it for everyone. it is not the type of dog it is the dick head owners who raise there dogs to do stupid shit on command. all the dog wants to do is please its master i have a pitbull named Maia and she is a sweet a pussy on the late night creep. She dosent get mad or vicious even when other dogs are around so if yall dont like the dogs STAY AWAY FROM THEM DUMB ASS
It’s hard not to get divided on this topic, but you know, Lulu is a pit mix, and everyone knows she’s not agressive. I know tons of nice pits and pit mixes. I’ve also seen some mean ones, especially in poorer areas of town.
I also see the bad side, that some people want tough mean dogs. So does that mean we should ban all dogs that are powerful breeds, and only keep sissy breeds? I just don’t know where you’d draw the line. Are German Shepherds ok? Rottweilers? Dobermans? All of those breeds have been used as guard dogs for years. For years, the most dog bites in the US came from cocker spaniels.
I’m against animal abuse, and against people abuse. I’m just not sure that banning a breed is the solution to the problem. Just because it’s been done in some places doesn’t make it an effective solution. I’m also not sure what to do about half-breeds and other mutts. Do we just euthanize tens of thousands of animals on the (pretty small, statistically) chance that they could be bad?
One approach that I like is to force every pet dog to be fixed. Castrated males are less aggressive, and the by-product is that there will be fewer stray dogs and dogs in shelters around the world.

I think that we should ban humans and keep the dogs. I changed my mind.
