		<description>This photo certainly showcases the egg-shaped head nicely.  I don't hink I've ever met a dog of this breed.  Are they good-tempered?  They have shown an ability to party and hawk beer. ;)</description>

		<description>Ack!  I meant "think", not "hink."  Oh,well, still early in the day, and I haven't finished my caffeine dose.</description>

		<description>This picture is the essence of Patriarchy.

The bully breeds are under attack in the US of A.  where they are legally considered "Dangerous and vicious."

Why is this patriarchy?  Because Patriarchy is a system of domination and control based on a belief system that supposes humans are above all other beings on the planet.  It claims that people are somehow separate from nature, and that the earth is our playground.

This attitude gives rise to the idea that it is perfectly acceptable to kill off any species that threatens human life in any way.

It also supposes that human life is of greater value than any other life form.

Therefore, when you look at a Pitt Bull, or any of the bully breeds, you are seeing a social expression of patriarchial eradication.

This false thinking by the power structure gives birth to laws that rape the planet of all resources, while promoting rampant human breeding.

Soilent Green, anyone?</description>

		<description>Oh I don't know about all that &lt;b&gt;Kelley Bell&lt;/b&gt;. Bull baiting, for which such dogs got bred at first, I am told, was a pretty patriarchal activity.  So the Patriarchy proposes and the Patriarchy disposes. 

I vote one for Cilla because it's a terrific pic of a character terrier.  Only a mother could love that head but what a beaut kelpie choc and orange coat.  Good dog, good dog.   Love the over-the-shoulder lead.  So casually elegant. Looks like a Bert to me.</description>

		<description>I love that breed (but I think I prefer Staffordshires).  They're very nice to people, Sylvanite, they can be nasty to other dogs.</description>

		<description>Sorry for the rant Darkymac.  
I had to put down my dog Petey (a satfforshire boxer mix) because of a bad case of pitbull paranoia in my community.

My dog was a sweetie, and I followed all the rules.  (There are LOTS of rules regarding dangerous and vicious breeds)

The guy down the street got pissed because they moved the bus stop for his kids from in front of his house to in front of my house.  He made a big protest and the school said "If your kids are not in danger, we are not changing the bus stop."

So he says "They ARE is danger...that woman has a PITBULL in her house!"

So, the school contacts child protective services, and my attorney says "You can fight it if you want, but under the law all pitbulls ARE considered dangerous and vicious, so legally CPS can come into your home at any time and take your kids, unless you get rid of the dog."

My vet then tells me that 90% of these dogs that loose their homes because of public pressure or the outragious insurance required, end up in the hands of dog fighters who put duct tape on their mouths and throw them into the pitts for the fighting dogs to practice on.

So, with a heavy heart, I made "Sophie's Choice" and did what I had to do.

That was two years ago, and Im still sick about it.

I hear that they are working on legislation against other breeds now.  Like Chows, Akitas, Rotweilers, and Shepards.

Hopefully things will get better when the public learns to quit responding to messages of fear from the media and politicians.</description>
