Yet another Pitt Bull attack (1 Viewer)

Mine was rescued from a home where her brother was so badly abused he had to be euthanized. I prefer to adopt dogs nobody else wants and give them a chance at a life.
I'm sure you'll respond with some joke that she should have been put down too.

I assume the brother was violent and aggressive, and was euthanized for that reason? How many people did he attack?
Otis
Footballguy
I can’t understand the logic behind that and never will.
It’s the most aggressive and dangerous dog breed. So, I’ll take one of those. Actually, do you have one with a family history of aggression and violence? I don’t want to leave anything to chance here.
Hoping I can get one that was poorly treated too if at all possible. If I’m ain’t walking around with a ticking time bomb, ####, why bother living?? Ammiright??

I really respect your willingness to do this. Good on ya. No joke. But I also pray that I’m never neighbors with someone who would adopt a pit from an abusive home, even if they have the absolute best of intentions.
Can you not read? Sometimes animals are euthanized because they suffer catastrophic injuries.
Otis
Footballguy
This.
Its nice in theory and all. But it’s an animal. This whole notion of putting animals ahead of people is insanity.
Otis
Footballguy
Do you think the same thing about children adopted from abusive homes? You never know what they might do, am I right?
Otis

If children from abused homes are more likely to commit crimes, you have no problem with that?
bigbottom
Footballguy
That's a lie. It would be the first thing you brought up to authorities if you had concerns about their behavior.
bigbottom
Footballguy
You asked whether I’d have a problem with a neighbor taking in a child from an abused home, even if (if I were to assume your premise) children from abused homes are more likely to commit crime. My answer to that question is no.
It’s not a lie, and I would appreciate it if you would not accuse me of lying, particularly when I paid you a sincere compliment just a few posts ago.
I’ve posted on these boards for a long time. I don’t lie. There’s no need to.

I'm about as big a dog guy as there is, when I have one they are a part of my family, I'll defend them at risk to my own harm. I posted earlier in this thread about a specific incident even. But this is a really dumb comparison. Dogs are not on the same level as people.

Lashing out at one of the most reasonable and respected members of this board is no way to get converts to your position. It only serves to further impugn your emotional and intellectual stability. Perhaps you can adopt another pit with a past you cannot fully know and so a future you cannot ever really predict and train it as an emotional support animal who can sense when you are becoming this kind of overwrought and that animal can intervene.

I never read this thread until today. Lots of amazing stuff. My favorite was the mosquito guy.

It would be interesting if anyone ever checked for that sort of correlation.
And I'm not being snarky... it would not surprise me if the stubbornness of those type opinions shows correlation.

For reacting to a troll by using his own trolling to point out his post was trolling and stupid? No, I’m not.

there are so many terrible posts in this thread it is hard to keep count, but by far these 2 need to win some award for absolute dumbest statements.
What about other dog breed advocates, can you 2 chime in on correlational data between them and other ignorant statements?
NotSmart
Footballguy
I honestly can't think of another good example of a dog breed advocate position which ignores reality and consequences as much as pit bull advocates.
Do you have a suggestion of one?
modogg
Footballguy
how about.... people on a fantasy football forum who think killing off a non-specific dog breed is a good idea and will solve various issues, is akin to feeling people with red hair are witches and satanists?
this one actually seems kind of accurate to me

There are endless stories about pit bulls that were sweethearts until they mauled someone to death.

You missed the point. It wasn’t literal. Just saying pitbull advocates ignore all reason and statistics.modogg said:
Their only rebuttal is that it’s the owners which can’t be proved one way or the other. The bottom line is the breed maims at a FAR higher rate than other dogs.
BTW, are you a flat earther?
modogg
Footballguy
flat earth is simply am abusrd idea. along with pulling straight data, how many pitbulls are there in existence in this country compared to other breeds? For example, if there is say 10,000 pitbulls, and 100 golden retrievers, it is highly likely if there is a dog attack it will be by a pitbull. tracking over the 80+ pages of this thread, there are some citations that are worth a read, that point out arguments on the subject

Same with labradoodles, too. Seems like every other week you hear about one that was the sweetest rescue one day and then suddenly snapped and mauled a kid to death.

What's the crossover between Pit Bull owners/supporters and 2A-obsessed gun nuts? I'd guess pretty high. Similar arguments.

Stats show pits make up 6.5% of the canine population. Below are what these 6.5%’ers do.
“Overall, pit bulls accounted for 68% of the human dog attack deaths in 2017, 88% of the human disfigurements, 92% of the dogs killed by other dogs, 94% of the dogs seriously injured by other dogs, 96% of the cats killed by dogs, and 74% of the farmed animals killed by dogs.”

no way i am getting sucked into this again, no offense. i would think there is truth to both sides (e.g. yes, lot's of d-bags and irresponsible people get pitbulls because they look cool or something), and in no way would i try to speak for an entire breed. only speaking from my tiny experience

Or perhaps his dog is gassy because the Anderson Toddler did not agree with him. We can't know. Not until we see the toddler alive and well for ourselves.Otis said:

I don't know why, I could speculate that it has to do with a defect in character or intellect, but clearly, from your many posts, that is what you are trying to accomplish, to dissuade them from one point of view and towards your own,

Pit-bull owners treat the pits the worst of all.
They are the cause of almost 3000 pit-bulls being euthanized every single day - because they are horribly over-bred. The #1 bred dog in America despite being the hardest to find homes for.
Selfish pricks.
