i had to ask my friends to stop rubbing her inside her ears. it sucked because she REALLY loved that ####. but once they started keeping their fingers out the infections went away. it was like a fungus-type deal. what about her ACL tho did that ever heal. sucks she has to go hide. poor thing probably thinks she's in trouble for nuthin. Like "I didn't even do anything!"
thanks for asking. she had one torn ACL, and a torn MCL on the other leg. One of the myths about pitbulls i would say is true in the case of my dog is a higher threashold for pain. Not cold, mind you, but probably could smack her in the head and she would just shake it off.
Hey, I have no problem with disagreement and have largely enjoyed the back and forth I’ve had in this thread, including my exchanges with tjnc09. That said, there was no reason to accuse me of lying, and I told him as much. I certainly would never accuse him of lying just because I disagree with him. I think that is what Ditkaless took issue with. That said, I’ve got thick skin so it’s not a big deal at all. We’re all good.
For those who were citing the AVMA study, do you have a response to this post? Is it possible that the various pitbull-related fatalities were included among the 82% where the dog was not identified as a member of a "distinct recognized breed"?
If you compare the study to this and then read the accounts, it becomes pretty easy to see which ones they likely picked out as their distinct breeds qualifiers. The AVMA says 256 DBRF's and that page only lists like 220 so some are missing. I suspect the "known mixes" they refer to in the AVMA study are the blue heeler/aussie mix (aka a texas heeler) and the rotty/pug mix, since these are well known mixes. The rotty/pugs were well liked and well known dogs in the neighborhood they lived in. Also considering the face of the dogs and the coloring i don't think they would ever have been considered to be something else. They had previously been owned by a police officer for the area.
Yep. They consider the absence of an able bodied person to stop a killing to be a bigger factor than a dog's breeding. Just work through that in your head everybody. They are basically saying being alone with a pit bull is the same as being alone with a maltese and that when a pit bull mauls you to death it has nothing to do with the instincts and breeding of the dog, it is the fact that you didn't use the freaking buddy system. The 87% threshold is important because at that level it means they aren't just tallying kids under ten alone or 85 year old women alone.
there have been a few studies that have prescribed how to remedy and prevent dog attacks
I dont have a problem with any regulations that discourage dog ownership or force dog owners to pay for permits or better education. The problem is those things will never pass.
I anticipate the "Lab advocates" targeting the pit, rott etc. owners for ####### it up for everyone else.
Spending government money to educate kids in things that are not math, science, etc in order to allow some people to keep dangerous dogs that would still kill small children is a bad way to go about it.
Education on dog abuse and caring for dogs would go a long way. So many of these attacks are from abused, untrained pit bulls that are in and out of shelters.
You know what i find funny about pit bull rescues?
you know what I find funny? You spent the majority of their day repeating the same exact things on a fantasy football forum. Incredible work.
You know what else i find funny? When pit bull rescues quote "experts". You know the people that talk about how important it is to develop good habits and socialize pits at a very early age.
from the same page... Socialize your Pit Bull as early as possible.Why is that funny?Here is some more good schtick from a pit bull birther...
"We strongly encourage Pit Bull owners to avoid dog parks. Our concern isn’t with your Pit Bull, but it’s the other dogs, irresponsible owners and diseases that we’re worried about"
In other words we just told you how your dog is safe and not aggressive, but we know that it could easily kill the cockapoo that gets too close and smells like breakfast. So we had to make up something.
Eta :
No. We wont get anywhere if you refuse to admit pit bulls are more dangerous than golden retrievers. You bring up " all large dogs" so you can avoid admitting that. Not because you are trying to get somewhere.
Really? If I ever said that a pit wasn't as dangerous as a Golden Retriever, it was definitely in a joking manner.
I thought you were one of the guys that argued it isn't the breed, My apologies.
I agree with this. I think cracking down not only on owners of dangerous dogs that attack, but stepping up enforcement of animal cruelty laws against breeders and owners that mistreat dogs (including pits) could be effective. I would also support efforts to educate the public on the dangers of owning pit bulls, particularly in a household with small children and the elderly, but I'm not sure pit bull advocates would be on board with that one.
I thought we aren't supposed to call other people liars in this thread.
Actually they do. My sympathies that you are too poor to know.
Pro Tip: People with plenty of money never say that they have plenty of money.
Even if you throw out Pits maiming/killing humans they kill other animals at a FAR higher rate than other breeds. That video was sickening, but expected.
Yep. Their aggression toward other dogs and of course livestock is very high. Comparing some of these dogs to other dogs is like comparing a sling shot to an AR-15. Sure an irresponsible owner of either of those could kill somebody(or somebody's pet) so I guess they are identical.
The dog did have a leash on but the owner, a smallish female, wasn't holding it.
I meant he dog that was killed. If you read the comments section you will see people criticize the owner of the little dog for not being on a leash.
You have been #####ing and moaning about a dog for nearly a decade on an Internet forum. That's your shtick around here... all talk, no action.
We haven’t seen shtick like this since Powermonster.
