Yet another Pitt Bull attack (1 Viewer)

Oh and way to not perpetuate the stereotype, mister “small dogs are ghaay, I only like pit bulls and rottweillers”

Of course you do.
lol, where did i say small dogs were gay you silly goose. I prefer larger/middle dogs, why is that a bad thing? never said only pit bulls or rottweillers either, both my dogs are mutts. Supposed to be boxer in the one and mastiff in the other. 

I would love to know your impression of the pit bull owners in this thread, like our demographics. What do we do for a living, where do we live, etc.

I suspect pit bull owners among FBG's are not representative of the average owner.  I suspect our owners in  here are more often homeowners, family men, and well educated.  I suspect we have persons here with enough income to see that their animals are well-trained and well cared for.  Most of you seem to be good eggs, generally.

 
I love pitbulls (accidental pitbull owner here), but I get the fear. The solution is so simple - if you want to own a dog deemed dangerous, pay $1,000 to your local municipality and register it, This will filter out 95% of the riff-raff owners - AND LET'S FACE IT, owners are the real problem. As long as you all want to hate the dog and ignore the a##h### owner, you're gonna get lot's more of the same, year after year after year.
Bad owners of a golden retriever might have a dog that will bite.  Bad owners of a Pitbull might have a dog that could maim and kill.

Yes...i'm sure there have been some Golden Retrievers or other dogs like that who have killed someone, but they aren't even close to a Pitbull gone wrong in how they attack.

ehh, i don't care a ton about this fight. All i know is i have a 9 year old pitbull and the dog is one of the best dogs i ever had (had dogs my whole life, all different breeds. but bigger dog, i don't like toy dogs).
You seemed to miss my point. My comment wasn't even remotely tied to the dog's breed. My comment was based on someone knowingly bringing home a troubled dog, a dog that by his own admittance was untrainable, a dog that would attack any "stranger", including small children, and thinking that installing a chain link fence somehow absolved him of all responsibility if an attack occurs. I'm actually flabbergasted that someone thinks that if a child acts like, you know, a child and attempts to pet a dog through a fence and is attacked, that the responsibility is totally on the child and that he bears no responsibility for harboring an animal he knows to be dangerous. I'm honestly equally flabbergasted that I have to explain this.

 

People's deepest moral beliefs and values are modified by the fiction they consume. For example, fictional portrayals of members of different races affect how we view out-groups. After white viewers see a positive portrayal of black family life - say, in The Cosby Show - they usually exhibit more positive attitudes toward black people generally. The opposite occurs after white people watch hard-core rap videos. What is going on here? Why are we putty in a storyteller’s hands?

One possibility, to borrow the words of Somerset Maugham, is that fiction writers mix the powder of a message with the sugary jam of storytelling. People bolt down the sweet jam of storytelling and don't even notice the undertaste of the medicine (whatever message the writer is communicating). A related explanation comes from the psychologists Melanie Green and Timothy Brock. They argue that entering fictional worlds "radically alters the way information is processed." Green and Brock's research shows that the more absorbed readers are in a story, the more the story changes them. Fiction readers who reported a high level of absorption tended to have their beliefs changed in a more "story-consistent" way than those who were less absorbed. Highly absorbed readers also detected significantly fewer "false notes" in stories - inaccuracies, infelicities - than less transported readers. Importantly, it is not just that highly absorbed readers detected the false notes and didn't care about them (as when we watch a pleasurably idiotic action film); these readers were unable to detect the false notes in the first place.

You're a victim of narrative, my friend. You are putty.

 
went to give my pitbull a treat tonight for remaining in "stay" command for about 5-7 minutes for a picture. went to give her a treat after, tossed it in the air for her to catch, and it nailed her right in the head. After reading some in here, i am thinking she may eat me tonight. Wish me and the family luck  :scared:

 
I apologize if this one was posted already.

http://ktla.com/2017/12/11/pit-bull-attacks-kills-77-year-old-suburban-illinois-woman/

Police shot and killed a pit bull that mauled a 77-year-old woman to death in the yard of a suburban Illinois home Monday afternoon.

Officers responded to Komensky Avenue and 116th Street in Alsip after a young man walking his dog saw the attack and called police, KTLA sister station WGN in Chicago reported.

When they arrived, police say the dog was still aggressive and they were forced to shoot it. Officers tried to give the woman first aid but it was too late.  Police said the woman lived at that address and that the 6-year-old pit bull was a pet in the home, though they did not say if she owned the dog.

"It was pretty horrific," Alsip Deputy Chief Shawn Schuldt told Alsip Patch. "If I go through the rest of my career without seeing something like this, that would be a good thing. I feel extremely bad for the family and we offer them our condolences."

Authorities have not yet identified the woman.

Schuldt said the dog appeared well cared for and that the department had never received any prior calls from residents or neighbors reporting the animal behaving aggressively.

It was not immediately known whether anyone else was at the home when the attack occurred.

The incident is under investigation.

 
These stories don't bother me - she took the risk owning them.  The ones that bother me are when someone is killed by someone else's dog. 
Her dad had to find her that way. I at least feel some sympathy for him. My favorite part though is how her sister said those dogs woukd only attack with kisses or whatever stupid crap she said.

God willing.

 
It never ends with this breed...

Pit Bulls Maul Woman to Death, Injure Husband in Gruesome Christmas Eve Attack
Well there’s a surprise...

“Investigators discovered that the dogs belonged to Johnny Dale Lankford, who was being held in the Bell County Detention Center on charges of second-degree assault, domestic violence and second-degree unlawful imprisonment from December 22.”

C'mon Oates. You know when you have some pent up energy, the first thing you do is head out and maul some neighbors.

Yup, but let's continue to blame the breed and not the POS taking care (or SHOULD be taking care) of the dog...

 
Do you think the POS owner has absolutely nothing to do with how the dog behaves?

Do you the dog's actions are a result of it being a pitbull?
“The breed in and of itself is a high-energy breed, they like to have a lot of structure and a lot of exercise, so by keeping them in a pen, alone, undersocialized, away from people, that energy is just building up and building up and building up. And that’s when you start to see dogs fighting more regularly, that’s when you start to see more negative scenarios,” certified dog trainer Valerie Paul told WTVR after two pit bulls mauled their owner to death earlier this month.

You're right. Most breeds become killers when they have to spend time alone. Totally acceptable behavior.

You avoided both questions. Nice job!

 
When you take the bait with all these grisly stories, it says to me that:

1. You believe in monsters
2. You are afraid of monsters
3. You like grisly stories about people dying from monsters

What it also says to me - and all this is just me personally - is that you were never raised around dogs, or any significant animals of any kind, and that's why you're afraid. It's not a good look for grown men to be afraid of monsters. It's embarrassing.

Why did you equate what the professional dog trainer basically describes as animal neglect as "having to spend time alone" :lol:

 
Sorry, but if you really think being an irresponsible or bad dog owner would NOT make your dog....regardless of breed...more inclined to bite someone....you are an idiot. It's not that hard to understand.

Animals that were bred to hold onto a bull's snout that has had hot pepper put in its nostrils to enrage it, yeah, monster sounds like a good word.

Good call.

Yes. If they owned Labs or Yorkies it would turn out exactly the same. 

Why do you think these types of owners are attracted to this breed?

Bite?  Sure. Maul to death?  Um...

Let's say I abuse my Lab, don't feed him for a couple days, don't give him any affection whatsoever, no behavioral training, etc....

He would be more inclined to bite someone compared to the same lab that was well taken care of.
