Are Pitbulls illegal in S.A

[vsl67]

Me and my son got attacked by pit bull while walking my on lead dog down a street it kept trying to latched on my dogs throat we belted the crap out of the thing with a bonnet strut and and some other car parts we just bought and the thing kept going at us even though we broke its ribs ,by time the it was stopped 15 to 20 minutes later by the owner kids who were walking it off a lead ,I was bleeding and my son (17) was bleeding and my dog was bleeding
After the attack the owner hid the dog so it coudnt be destroyed witnesses told us that it attacked another dog and killed a cat on the street two days before

These dogs seem to always appeal to idiots who cant look after them and then wont take any responsibility when they attack ,also as dog attacks occur they seem overly represent in the proportion of the breed to the population of dog keepers compared with other breeds

That is one of the other issues that doesnt perhaps get as much mention as it should. These dogs are notorious for attacking smaller dogs for no other reason than they can(please no nonsense about the smaller dog picking the fight in the 1st place), especiallly when that smaller dog is being walked on lead, and makes somewhat of an easier target since it cant run away, often being walked by a frail elderly person or a child who if not doesnt suffer severe injuries themselves suffers an incredible amount of shock when seeing their pets neck crushed in a heart beat.

Also, what a carbon tax has anything to do with anything related to this thread I do not know.

It was a "silly" inclusion to highlight the absurdity of how one could decide the breed of a dog based on its personality and temperment.
One could follow it through with if the vet said "carbon tax" and it went feral then it would be a liberal attack dog(pit bull).....http://www.smh.com.au/national/abbotts-attack-dog-under-fire-20110219-1b09i.html

I have only read a coulpe of the posts in here but here is what i have to say, an am staff is just a show dog pitbull they are the same thing this coming from an am staff breader where my mate just picked his new am staff pup up from, there is no such thing as lock jaw it is a myth pitbulls dont let go because they are stubbon as ####. now having been around a lot of pitbulls in my life but never owned one they are the best dogs in the world IMO espaically around kids my mates that have had them have all had young kids 5 an younger with no problems at all.As for attacking other dogs only time i have seen any of my mates pittys (i know about 10 pitbulls) have a go at another dog is when they come in to there yard.Thats all i have to say.

Just thought i would throw this up, which one is the picture of the pitbull??? The other 3 are Am staffs, ill tell you tomorrow.If any1 cares.

i would say the first one

I suspect a trick question, could be none but if I was to choose it'd be number 2, pity the pics are so small. Not had much to do with Pitbulls so I'm not qualified to judge. Staffys are beautiful dogs with people but my favourite and still great with people and kids is Engish Bull Terriers, I've had a few. Engish Bull Terriers - Google Search

Edit: And they wouldn't get mixed up with Pitbulls but people still have an unnatural fear of them. Had many people cross the road to avoid them(or me?) and they were on a lead.
