Yet another Pitt Bull attack (1 Viewer)

[3C's]

Exit until you can prove abuse is a direct cause of all puttbulls propensity to be aggressive that argument is just s red herring. Correlation is not causation.

until you can prove the propensity of all pitbulls to be aggressive you have no argument at all.

I thought you were done with this thread?

I was, but couldn't leave that one hanging out there.

I have no doubt toy poodles are more aggressive they just can't KILL PEOPLE.

are you sure about that? might want to google 'Poodle attacks' and see the viciousness of these animals. I have no doubt a group of them could kill an elderly person or an infant.I think what you mean to say is that a toy poodle couldn't kill you. I get the impression that you're just afraid of Pitbulls and large dogs. I got to admit that I get you and Otis mixed up but which one of you was always getting attacked by dogs while jogging?

I used to get attacked no matter what i was doing. but yes that was me.

You're a grown adult male, correct? And you're scared of dogs!! ....and I'm talking to you about pit bulls Just go get a cat already.

 

[Zow]

Where did I say I was currently scared to death of dogs? They make me uneasy but that's about it. I also live with a Pitbull.

He knows you're scared of him......deep down. He's sizing you up for now. One day, he'll snap and eat you alive. It IS a pit bull. I'd watch my back if I were you.

3 pit bulls maul Wisconsin teen

Published June 05, 2012

Associated Press

CASSVILLE, Wis. – A Cassville teenager is recovering after he was attacked and bitten by three pit bull terriers.

The Capital Times reports the 15-year-old, who runs track at Cassville High School, was running past a home in the southwestern Wisconsin town of Cassville when the three pit bulls came at him Monday.

The Grant County sheriff's office says the teen was bitten several times by the pit bulls. The owner of one of the dogs tried to get the dogs away from the teen one at a time and also was bitten.

Authorities say the teen needed several hours of surgery to repair the damage.

The attack remains under investigation.

The dog, police say, attacked two women near Farmville Blvd in Greenville Tuesday morning. The canine ripped off a piece of one of the women's chest.

And then we can have a thread where we post links to every raping that happened in in the US.

Yes, let's get the word out.

No, we can just stick with Pitbulls like they were armor-piercing rounds, grenades or landmines. Some explosives and ammunition or okay, some are not. Pitbulls are beyond the owners.

I ran into my friends at the park last night, who are in the process of trying to reform a pit bull who has been chained to a tree for the first year of her life. The pit is not doing well at all. They said she's unpredictable - one moment she'll be fine and the next, they're worried that she'll jump the fence and off she goes.

They have hired a dog whisperer and there has been no significant rehabilitation. They mentioned the possibility of putting her down.

I offered sympathies, but the reality is, the dog is dangerous. I won't visit until the dog is no longer in the house. What's eye catching is that they know the dog is dangerous but haven't put her down yet. What if she accidentally escapes and critically injures someone?

 

[jdubs952]

They are not beyond their owners. Stop it...they are the tough dog of the day. It used to be dobermans.

I foster for NY ACC and when I get the pits, they are fearful, aggressive, and stubborn. Show them proper discipline and reinforce appropriate behavior and they behave just like any other breed of dog. While I agree, they are tenacious, strong, and can inflict great harm, it's not the breed. it's the owner.

I have a bullmastiff that is a very very good guard dog....he's alerted me to a break in once. He knows when someone is in the house that shouldn't be (unfortunately, he also knows when someone is in the house that is fearful of him/dogs - which he interprets as an intruder) This is a natural instinct for him which humans have bred into him for generations. Pits have been bread to be tenacious. You just have to focus that energy, exercise,and train. This takes a lot of work - irresponsible ppl do not do this and you see stuff like these attacks.

It's easy to regulate the breed and I understand the logic behind it; however, they are not beyond their owners - they are a reflection of their owners - very few ppl should have pitts as pets.

Okay, this is EXACTLY what I am talking about. The dog in question was abused (chained to a tree) and it's really no wonder that he/she is messed up in the head. But instead of blaming the person who owned (definitely wouldn't use the word "cared" here), you blame the breed. Unreal.Check out the story I posted above with the pitbull abandoned in the apartment and left with no food or water for days. I really can't blame a dog left in this situation wanting to bite/kill something or someone later. I think if you left most human without food or water for days, they'd want to bite/kill something too! It's just unacceptable and owners really need to be held accountable.

I can promise you that my opinion of the breed has been formed well before they adopted a pit bull. I can also promise that if this was a dangerous dog other than a pit bull (dob, rot etc), I would have the exact same sentiment. I am looking out for the safety of both myself and my daughter.

But continue to live in your fantasy world. You pit advocates need to take lessons from the GLBT advocates ... once you see things logically and stop being so damn annoying by pushing your view even when you are completely off base, you'd be amazed on how quickly people will change.

I think you need to take some of your own advice.

 

[The Commish]

So you guys are back at this again huh?

I see a new argument though in the last few posts. That is "not everyone is equipped to own a pit bull". If it's not the breed, then why this statement specifying the breed? Shouldn't you guys be saying "not everyone is equipped to own a dog"? Specifying the breed tells me you think there is something different about the breed than other breeds.

NOTE: I put the "issue" on both the breed and the owner, so I'm not really on either side of this. Just an observer.

 

[jdubs952]

I will no longer foster pitts when I have children (this year, fingers crossed). While I love them, why would I risk it? In fact, after my mastiff passes, I won't have large breed dogs until my children are much older (15+). It's not my dog or my kids, I'd be worried about, but the parade of neighborhood kids in and out of my house that might not know how to interact w/ dogs that would concern me.

I'm a huge pitt advocate, but I'm not ignorant to them either.

So you guys are back at this again huh? I see a new argument though in the last few posts. That is "not everyone is equipped to own a pit bull". If it's not the breed, then why this statement specifying the breed? Shouldn't you guys be saying "not everyone is equipped to own a dog"? Specifying the breed tells me you think there is something different about the breed than other breeds.NOTE: I put the "issue" on both the breed and the owner, so I'm not really on either side of this. Just an observer.

It is the breed, but I also won't own a german shephard, doberman, or rotty with small children either. Pitts can be the friendliest, most loyal, well behaved, loving dogs, but they can also eat a baby.

Why not a Rott?

Amazing that an adult is using common sense, isn't it? Having any big dog around is child is an accident waiting to happen. Their tails alone can send an infant flying.

Crap...I've lost track again

While I agree, they are tenacious, strong, and can inflict great harm, it's not the breed. it's the owner.

Accidents happen. The size of the dog may increase the likelihood of an accident, but I know folks who's toddlers have been hurt by little dogs. Everything from getting bitten to the dog getting under the feet of the toddler.

I've been fostering and rehabbing dogs for years. I have a mastiff/pit mix, 2 other mutts as part of my pack, and I foster usually a pit at a time. (I've been bit by shephards more than any other dog by far, in case anyone was wondering). There is a very long list of large dogs I wouldn't own around small children - probably because I'm an insurance agent and understand strict liability.
