The Dogs Of Capitalism
>I hate Pit Bulls... nasty breed of Dog.
I think the cute dog with the kids in The Little Rascals was a pit bull. It's mostly how they're raised; a lot of pit bull owners just tie them up in the back yard. Pit Bulls do have a powerful bite, but so do Malamutes... and Malamutes are sneaky. There's one stealing my dinner as I sit here typing.
There's a great book on the origins of many dog breeds, including the Pit Bull, called The Dogs Of Capitalism. It explains what bear-baiting was for (to test dogs' dispostions; dogs that snapped at the handler while the bear was tossing them around were disqualified from breeding) and a lot of other lore mostly forgotten now that dogs are just pets.
A lot of dogs will quit fighting if you douse them with water. Of course it's hard to carry a fire hose around all the time, so capsaicin is probably more practical.
