Another child lost their life because of a PIT BULL dog.

Well you can't get rid of the bad owners can you? and they certainly won't admit screwing up!

Hiw many kids died because of UShitA foreign policies?

With your way of thinking there would be no communists or socialists left either, sice both have been the greatest mass murderers!

There are bad owners who own retrievers and pointers and heelers and border collies and greyhounds and great danes and shepherds, etc. YET the frequency of DEADLY attacks is HEAVILY WEIGHTED toward pit bulls.

Enough with the "it's the owner not the dog" counter argument. It makes you sound like you had a lobotomy.

Not if the shitbull owners are dead by their own dogs :cruiser:

Several breeds of Terriers are lumped into the Pit Bull category: American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier, Miniature Bull Terrier, and any dog that resembles a "Pit Bull".

If you truly want a dog to fear, put the Anatolian Shepard at the top of the list.These dogs make a "Pit Bull" look like a wimpy puppy.I never saw one in person until I went to visit with the late poster,my good friend Silver Patriot, before she passed away from cancer in July.This dog hated everybody. It wanted to rip me to shreds just for being there.Silver Patriots husband had to lock the dog up during my visit.
I am an animal lover and a real softie when it comes to them, and they sense this and are usually very friendly towards me.Their Saint Bernard showered me with drool,and Saint Bernard's can be picky.Their Anatolian Shepard only liked Silver Patriot and her husband, and wanted to eliminate me.

I live in a rural environment my neighbor's Pitt Bull ran a surprising long way went into a neighbors garage while people were in the garage and killed their little dog.

It was like a murder scene. Poor little dog was trying to hide under the cars.


…

The people that owned that Pitt Bull are nice people.

Note in the link above

54 cases involved a dog killing its primary owner. Pit bulls inflicted 63% (34) of these deaths, over 8 times more than any other breed



I am a dog lover. Dogs are wired to love not kill their primary owner.

*This*

Stop blaming the owner. I have no doubts my neighbor treated their dog like family.


The owner is guilty of buying a dog that has been selectively bred to be an instinctive aggressive fighter.

Then they should go to prison for murder.

Best comment I've read thus far. I was a dog trainer at a Pitt bull rescue for two years, lived at the rescue for half that time. We rescued all dog breeds but mostly Pitts. I've been bit several times, mostly breaking up fights between dogs that didn't get along. Guess what though? It was NEVER a pitt bull that bit me, though at least 80% of the dogs were pitts!
I'm far more concerned with being bit by a rottweiler or an akita than a pitt.
Now, do I think a pitt is for anyone? Heavens no! They are a tremendous responsibility. And as such a responsibility parallel to driving a car, pitt ownership should be by license only acquired after passing an ownership exam and providing proof of insurance and proper restraint (fenced-in yard, etc...).
I do not agree with the logic of "exterminate the breed because they can be dangerous!". If you choose to own a potentially dangerous pet, assume the proper responsibility and take the proper precautions. The house I rent now does not have proper fencing (and I'm not allowed to improve the fencing), so I don't have a dog. I adopted my red nose to a good friend who had a proper yard and fencing when I moved, even changing owners the dog has never bared teeth to anyone much less bitten a human. It is NOT "the breeds nature" to attack unprovoked. If this WAS the case, EVERY pitt would do it.

Let me just throw this out there, everyday, all day on the Plant Earth people interact with poisonous snakes. Most encounters result in the heart rate increasing and a swift escape. No harm no foul.

Now on the other hand, if you step on the snake, corner the snake, startle the snake then you would surely be bitten.

I would say 95% of encounters are just frightening experiences, but for those remaining 5%, it is likely a lethal and deadly experience, and will physically alter your body and life.

Most Pit Bulls have never nor would they ever attack a person of any age, but how do you know which one will attack, and most importantly WHEN such an attack will happen, and what will trigger it?

I am not prepared to take that risk.

I dont disagree with you, no one is saying YOU have to have or even NEED a pitt. I DO agree that a LOT of pitt bull owners have no business owning them, but does that mean they should be banned and/or euthanized outright? No!

I really like your venomous snake analogy--- from 2000 through 2003, I participated in Rattlesnake Roundup in Sweetwater, TX... It was a VERY lucrative side gig during the spring months of my college years. I caught hundreds of snakes, never got bit. I also did freelance snake removal at an airfield in Palmdale CA for a couple summers... catching Mojave Greens and transporting them to a lab that milked them to make antivenom. Again--- I knew what I was doing and never got bit.

Now days... while I dont have a proper yard to keep a dog, I do have pet turtles, while getting bit by most of them would be a rather unpleasant experience... my snapping turtle could easily detach a finger if so inclined. While turtles CAN be trained to a certain degree, they are far more unpredictable than any dog breed.

Themanomaly loves his children like sexy daughters

Themanomaly loves his dogs too except pit bulls

True but considering that all dogs are mutated and inbred wolves it doesn’t seem a smart gamble to domesticate most of any of them, why stop at pitt bulls?

Fuck this shit breed of dog .
Wtf kind of animal attacks and kills a child ???
Oh yeah a fucking pro choice liberal doctor .. ..

Oh bull shit

Well, the first time I see a gun sprout legs, get up and walk over to the neighbor's house I will agree with you.

Out of all the breeds..

Why do people seek these dogs out?

What's so special that people gotta have em?

Snapping turtles have not killed 284 people in the years between (2005 to 2017).
