By far most terror world wide is Islamic but there are a few more. I think of the nuts who burn or destroy research institutions if they use animals at all. Things like that. They also are listed as a terror group but there is not nearly as many of them. For those who do not think we are in a very real war with those who are determined to defeat us take a little time to look at the site below.

I don't believe any kind of animal fighting is legal in the U.S.\n\nThat doesn't mean that it doesn't happen, just that it's not legal.\n\nAlso, having the dog is not illegal just using it in actual fights is illegal.\n\nCall your local humane society or animal shelter they should have more information.

Yes, sometimes a person can grimace in anger so extremely they seem to be grinning.\n\nMany animals "grin" when they are scared.

They tend to be an agressive snake.  They do not make good pets (Yes, there are some that remain small enough to be pets).\n\nOther than that, don't know what you're looking for...

From what I understand after talking with those who own dogs, yes, it's entirely possible.  I knew someone whose first dog didn't chew on anything, and then the second dog comes into the home, starts chewing on tee-shirts, and the next thing you know the other dog is joining in because it looks like fun.  Have you tried disciplinary techniques for both of them?  The puppy would probably have an easier time being trained out of the bad behavior, being younger and having done that for less time, but the right training should "cure" them both.  Until, of course, the next "fun" idea they get into their heads.

If these dogs are violent you have a right to defend yourself.  Especially if one attacked your child.  If it were me or my child, I would have defended him/her/myself with whatever I could grab.  If the authorities aren't responding, you have no choice.  Are you talking about police, or animal control?  Did you try calling both?\n\nIf the dogs are just goofy, playing, jumping, then I wouldn't try to hurt them - just chase them away.

Aggressive dog behavior is overwhelmingly the fault of humans. In some cases, particularly in cases where children are bitten, the dog is provoked into it. This might not be intentional, but I work with animals and can't tell you how many times parents will be standing right next to their kids, but are oblivious to the fact that they are smacking rather than petting an animal, pulling its ears, poking it or getting in its face. The only way dogs have to tell them to stop is aggression. Although this is more common with children, I have seen plenty of grown adults that should know better approach or treat animals in a way that is inappropriate and could trigger aggression. This is usually the cause of "sudden, unexpected" aggression from dogs that have a long track record of good behavior.\n\nDogs that exhibit aggressive behavior regularly were most likely made that way by their owners, either intentionally or not. Many people will buy "macho" breeds like rottweilers and pit bulls and teach them to be aggressive because they think it's cool. What is unfortunately even more wide spread is aggression fostered in dogs because of poor treatment on the part of their owners. Dogs are social animals. Most canines live naturally in packs, and domestic dogs instinctually look to their human family to be their pack. Many dogs are kept chained their entire lives, or live outside in yards or cages and rarely get attention or socialization. This is like being in solitary containment for them, and after a while it can cause a number of "bad" behaviors, such as constant barking, digging, chewing, and of course, aggression.

Im not a dog person myself but I have no problem with people having them as pets. On the matter of how many, all cities and towns have bylaws on the number of pets allowed to a property. I'm pretty sure 6 is beyond the limit for most. If you have concerns you could always call city hall and ask them on their bylaw. As for dogs with aggressive behaviours, try first expressing your concern to the owner then to the local animal control unit. Nothing may come out of it to begin with but if something ever does happen at least they have a previous complaint to act upon.

Sure but only in a pit lined with the fur of endangered animal species. Hey man- of course not !
