Yet another Pitt Bull attack (1 Viewer)

[Mister CIA]

Pitbull saves me from viscous turtle

One minute later, it takes on a killer snake.

 

[Otis]

Idiot pit owners are always so quick to try to find another animal that has done something similar, as if their one time anecdotal example is the same as the hundreds of pit attacks.

Or they ignore how these pitbulls are doing exactly what they were designed to do.

they were designed to kill people?

Sure seems that way.

Unbelievably sickening: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/pit-bulls-kill-4-year-old-boy-in-detroit-neighborhood/ar-AAfWXyE?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=mailsignout

What did they do with the 4th pit they "put in custody"?

Cat food.

As far as we can tell, they typically prefer mauling and killing small children.

Neat pets, guys.

 

[AAABatteries]

I need to check our HOA rules and see if these are allowed. Hoping not but if they are I may contact them to see what we can do to get them eliminated. Hopefully more and more HOAs take this step.

Are you afraid the neighbor's pitbull will paint the backyard shed purple?

No, not fixed. You can wipe every pitbull off the face of the planet, and then we'll have a 100 page thread on Kangals or Ovcharkas.

No, Kangals were bred to guard. Not flatly to kill. It will "run off" a discerned threat and return to guard.

It will fend off as opposed to end life. Thusly ownership can have a much better modicum of control.

When has FBG been infiltrated by all of these knowledgeable dog experts who understand all of these different breeds? Amazing.

 

[parasaurolophus]

Pitbulls all around where I work. Hate it. Hate them. Hate their owners. Only bad thing about my job is that it is in the ghetto. Just an awful neighborhood. At least the drivers are good in the area, oh wait.

Gaining that information isn't a hard thing to acquire. Its readily available. Its not amazing, its rather mundane if you just take a bit of time.

I was recently looking around for a rental home and I can say the majority of HOAs do not allow pit bulls. Its a shame really. I rescued a half pit half boxer a while back. Best dog I've ever had. Still had several places refuse to rent to me because of the dog.

Sounds like a good policy to have. I am sure your dog was the perfect gentle creature, but what is a property owner supposed to do? Meet every pet and give a thorough evaluation of it 6-7 times just so you can rent there?

Think of it from their perspective and you can see how easy of a decision it is to simply outlaw these dogs from your property. Pretty easy decision to make, unless you are a moron.

Having a policy against Pitt or Pitt mixes also has the desired effect of legally allowing a landlord to weed out undesirables.

Race. Exactly, because no white people own Pitts.

There are such things as deadbeat renters or renters who just don't respect other people's property and will damage the rental. I nice way to weed out this type of renter is to just ban Pitt or Pitt mixes as a high percentage of these renters own this type of dog. Not all owners are deadbeats, but a high percentage of deadbeats are owners. This clause also makes for an easier avenue of eviction if they are deadbeats and you find out they have a pet.

Oooooh...what about tattoos? I bet you could link people with tattoos having a higher rate of being deadbeat renters....especially those with neck tattoos. Right? Right?

Look, you can't only rent to little old ladies. But you can't discriminate based on any other factor other than the quick and dirty idiot test: Does this person own a living death machine? Yes. Ok, no apartment for you. Simple.

Also, you seem dense. Shtick or Pitt owner?

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

Yes, neck and face tattoos are a pretty good indicator of someone you may not want renting your place especially if it says 13 in it somewhere. Teardrops, #### like that. I am sure that most people with face tattoos are angelic, moral, upstanding people, but it takes a special kind of stupid as well.

My opinion only.

Suppose you own an apartment building and your insurance company tells you that it will not cover claims that arise from pit bulls. You will personally be liable for them. What do you do?

What? Is that a sentence?

If someone has a past history of not paying their rent, chances are very high that their credit won't be great (low priority for them to pay their bills). Also, to protect yourself, make sure you get the first and last up front. After that, keep a tight leash (pun intended) on them going forward.

So if you are not renting your property to a pitbull owner, what about a person with a hundred pound rottweiler? Or a 10 foot python?

It's pointless debating this with you.I shoot down your points and you come back with that garbage which has absolutely no relevance on the topic.

 

[Apple Jack]

No way I'm renting to some dude that leaves a loaded weapon just sitting on their front porch.

Or to the type who would own a pitbull.

 

[bigbottom]

All else being equal, I'll rent to the person who doesn't have a neck tattoo or a dog that could eat one of the neighbors.

Credit check, criminal background check, references, job references, etc. are all a million times better when evaluating a possible renter compared to what ####### breed of dog they own. Come on, man.

You can not pay your rent, for your entire adult life, minus first month last month and it will not show up on any of the checks that you just mentioned.

What? Is that a sentence? If someone has a past history of not paying their rent, chances are very high that their credit won't be great (low priority for them to pay their bills). Also, to protect yourself, make sure you get the first and last up front. After that, keep a tight leash (pun intended) on them going forward.

So if you are not renting your property to a pitbull owner, what about a person with a hundred pound rottweiler? Or a 10 foot python?

So you are not a landlord. Fair enough.

It's pointless debating this with you.I shoot down your points and you come back with that garbage which has absolutely no relevance on the topic.

Ok. Prior to 2011 not paying your rent wouldn't be on a credit report, and even now it requires a landlord to report it to creditors. It is reported infrequently because it is rarely collected and most landlords just want them gone. Many localities have codes that protect the rights of renters a bit too much making it very difficult to evict. Some renters can get 12 months on a first month last month. That is a lot of lost revenue. You look for ways to legally avoid that headache. This is one legitimate way to exclude one giant, headache inducing segment of the rental community. Also your examples are ridiculous.

No way I'm renting to some dude that leaves a loaded weapon just sitting on their front porch.

Or to the type who would own a pitbull.

Yeah, thats what I just said.

Mine doesn't imply ownership necessarily, just a willingness.

Now reminding me of pftcommenter's bit about arguing with the guy at the rep debate over who cares less about michael sam.

There are such things as deadbeat renters or renters who just don't respect other people's property and will damage the rental. I nice way to weed out this type of renter is to just ban Pitt or Pitt mixes as a high percentage of these renters own this type of dog. Not all owners are deadbeats, but a high percentage of deadbeats are owners. This clause also makes for an easier avenue of eviction if they are deadbeats and you find out they have a pet.

Insane.

You seem to be fairly defensive here. No experience as a landlord?

You assume (incorrectly) that these landlords won't look at background checks and credit reports, and won't require first and last month's rent. I'm sure they will. Killer dog ownership and neck tattoos are simply additional evaluation factors.

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

All else being equal, I'll rent to the person who doesn't have a neck tattoo or a dog that could eat one of the neighbors.

I'm not seeing what is so difficult to understand.

I disagree. There are many landlords out there who don't do all of those things (at their own detriment, of course.)

I don't own a pitbull, fwiw.

I need to check our HOA rules and see if these are allowed. Hoping not but if they are I may contact them to see what we can do to get them eliminated. Hopefully more and more HOAs take this step.

I was recently looking around for a rental home and I can say the majority of HOAs do not allow pit bulls. Its a shame really. I rescued a half pit half boxer a while back. Best dog I've ever had. Still had several places refuse to rent to me because of the dog.

Yeah what a shame all those smart and responsible people in the world who look out for the safety and welfare of others. Heaven forbid.

 

[Otis]

Yes, neck and face tattoos are a pretty good indicator of someone you may not want renting your place especially if it says 13 in it somewhere. Teardrops, #### like that. I am sure that most people with face tattoos are angelic, moral, upstanding people, but it takes a special kind of stupid as well.

My opinion only.

This times infinity. This really isn't complicated.

 

[Spin]

The thing that gets me the most is, most pitt-owners that I talk to about this subject mention things like "mine is the sweetest, greatest dog I've ever owned, he/she would never do anything like that"

And then it seems like in every story you read something along the line of "This pitt was the sweetest dog, never showed any kind of aggression in the past before it ripped the windpipe out of the 3 year old. I never saw this coming"

Might as well have a landmine in your back yard. It'll be the sweetest most gentle landmine around, sit dormant for years, never hurting anyone... until someone steps on it wrong.

If there were data indicating that 10 foot pythons were killing children with any frequency, I wouldn't want those in my housing complex either. Curious to see the data on that.
