Last week's poll question divided the PetDoc community. Almost half of all voters are pitbull lovers, more than double the number of people who are not so fond of pitbulls. The remaining voters think pitbulls can be cute, but prefer other breeds of dog.
For me, the question boils down to the classic nature v. nurture debate. I don't think pitbulls are inherently vicious, I think their personalities come from the way they are brought up. See somemore voter opinions here.
Apoll by Yahoo Newsfound pet owners favor McCain over Obama 42 percent to 37 percent. This led to controversial debate last week over what type of dog Obama should get if elected, a pure bred or a mutt. I'm happy to see thatObama has decided to adopt a dog.
This brings us to this week's poll: Does pet ownership affect your presidential vote? Are you more likely to vote for McCain because he has over a dozen pets?
I don't believe that you can judge a breed entirely. In ANY breed there will be well-behaved dogs with good manners, that are the sweetest things you can think of, and then there will be dogs that have issues. Pit bulls are simply misunderstood and mistreated to the point that people fear an entire breed, which is silly. To say that all pit bulls are baby killers is as ignorant as to make a judgment that all women can't drive.

Pitbulls sure are a controversial topic.
