Social Pitbull Owners Shocked Dog Killed Their Child

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

I have a pitty. He's the biggest pushover in the world. Loves kids. Has never bitten anyone. Doesn't even bark at people. Sweetest creature on earth. Spent a long time training him.

Im not leaving an infant/toddler/young child unsupervised with him. Just because no one has found a way to piss him off yet doesn't mean it can't happen. You can never be too careful.

I don't care what breed they are you have to be careful around babies and toddlers especially.

More then likely the owners thinks they know dogs but has no real idea of when they give signs of stress. I'm pretty sure the dog gave signs but they had no idea the signs.

All dogs can be dangerous but certain breeds seem to go from warning to 100 in seconds.

It definitely has to do with the breed. Yes, other dogs can snap, but Pitbulls do it consistently and are responsible for the majority of fatal attacks. It's definitely not the same as leaving say a lab with a child.

For some reason idiots are attracted to pitbulls because they think they are one of the "cool" breeds to own, but then are shocked when they attack people. Like, how many times does this have to happen before people wake up? But then again, we are dealing with idiots who think "oh mine would never do that" or "i can handle a dog like that!".

I promise you it is the flaw of people not the breed. The breed can be very well trained and controlled. Millions of pitbulls are owned in this country and you have two threads here about incidents.

ownership of this dog requires a certain level of human responsibility, as we know from all the other threads people often don’t like responsibility.

Don’t blame a dog for its bad owner

Dude, there have been plenty of "good owners" who's pitbulls have killed their family members or other people. How many other breeds do you see causing fatal attacks? It definitely isn't just about responsible ownership...

Things happens so fast that even supervised isn't safe. Those bastards latch on and won't let go. The damage is done by the time you intervene.

 

[Renard]

Of course they're confused. Half of social media got them thinking it's a "bad owners" only problem, go to the pound today and save a pit, all dogs are the same even those that were bred to kill, love can cure all, etc. You repeat that shit enough and people, especially those with a dispositional overabundance of empathy and under-abundance of common sense, will truly believe it.

Why do you think they were good owners?

You’re quoting that they were good owners. I’m doubtful.

So I hear. That's why I put my big goober in classes very early on. I've had him long time. A bunch of friends of mine have had them too. Sweet dogs. They really are just couch hippos 99% of the time but you still have to be responsible in the off chance that 1% comes up. I usually make little kids keep their distance just to be safe.

Unless you have a muzzle on that dog around children you are being reckless. Just my $0.02. I'm sure your fella is a sweet pup.

I promise you it isn't.

Certainly animals of the breed can be very well trained and controlled. Certainly it's true that many among the breed aren't. That latter truth offers nothing to explain or excuse the massive disparity in rates of violent attacks, especially those resulting in serious injury or death, caused by the breed.

It's not two threads. There's been dozens of threads over the years. In fact, I consolidated many of them into a megathread, but they began sprouting anew, over and over, because that's how routine these incidents are involving this breed.

I don't muzzle him but I also don't have him around kids much at all. Just my sister's kids once or twice out the year. And even then I hold him any time they interact with him. When I run with him I steer him away from kids.

But how many people who own pitbulls are idiots. I wanna see that survey.

My pitbull was perfect.

I’m totally in favor of more intelligence tests for the right to do and own most anything. A spectrum of them for all kinds cultural whatever the fuck considerations.

More testing for qualifications

Logical refutations of popular Pitbull apologism

• Why are owners so much more likely to be bad owners if they own pits?
• Why are witnesses so much more likely to mis-identify Pits vs. other breeds based on visual inspection? Why does this mathematically skew only one way?
• Why are Pits' raw murder and mauling figures so absurdly high disproportionate to other large breeds that are similarly popular?
• Where is the evidence to substantiate any of these popular, casual colloquialisms? For example, if you give a reason for why Pit Bull owners are more likely to be bad owners, do you have evidence to substantiate that?
• Ask yourself: why are all of these rationalizations only applied to the defense of Pits, and never for other dogs?

My pitbull was perfect.

This is what is known as anecdote. Somewhere out there is someone who could tell you about their grandfather who smoked 2 packs a day for 80 years, and didn't die of lung cancer.

Why do you think they were good owners?

You’re quoting that they were good owners. I’m doubtful.

I suspect they were good owners because they loved and cared for their dog

I also suspect they were bad owners because that love can make you ignore warning signs of an aggressive dog that you maybe should get rid of . Especially if you have kids but you had the dog first.

I'm aware that pitbulls like any dog can and will attack people sometimes ....but I don't believe that it just came out of the clear blue and the signs were there and ignored. I also don't think most of them are monsters or ticking time bombs. We are talking about a .01 percent of dogs here.

would be interesting to see the publics opinion about dogs in general if say for the next 10 years all other breeds got this kind of media attention when they fuck someone up bad. I wonder if all big dogs would start to be seen as dangerous or if maybe even dogs as a whole would be seen in a different way.


What percentage of people who say mine would never do something like that are right ?

My account is different from yours as it is first hand and can be qualified if need be. The other, your comparative, is two generations off from first hand and totally impossible to substantiate.

What happened to you and your family concerning a pitbull?

This is a lot of research into anti-pitbull propaganda for you to not be having some personal stake in this

My pet crocodile ate my baby

- Lets be real, salt crocodiles are far more trusteable than pit-bulls. And pit-bull owners are dumb enough to believe their little-dicked pet has a stronger bite-force.

Also @Madmick
If there were such statistics about a breed or let’s say a race of people… would be as inclined to believe that that race of people should have fewer rights, access or privileges as any other human?

Since you believe this breed is evil it seems, what is that you are proposing?

Would you like to kill all the pitbulls?

How about tigers? Crocodiles? Tiger sharks?

Do you think if there’s a race of people with bad stats that they should be annihilated also?

You’re telling me you are against a breed of animal of which there are many different types. There isn’t one singular breed of pitbull, there are many. You go thru such lengths to say I’m talking anecdotal rhetoric by sharing my experience, so how about you clarify what exactly you mean.

I actually don’t think mine would never do that

I didn’t allow my dog in the presence of babies or children. I did not allow children to play with it. I did not encourage strangers to pet it, and when I had company I was very on top of not letting them get too cozy with the dog.

Had I not have done that and governed my dog and my company in such a way, I may have had people hurt and it would have been on me, not my dog.

Pitbulls are dnageous. They have huge powerful jaws and are a ball of muscle with extremely dense skulls that sometimes even bullets don’t penetrate. If you have that type of dog you can not treat it like any other dog.

And I know and have known idiots with dogs, most people are sadly bad fucking people who shouldn’t have things especially dangerous things.

I had a neighbor with a big probably at least 75 lb Rottweiler. I’d come home from work late some nights and the dog would run out leashless to my car from their home to bark at me. I had to get out of my car and attend immediately to walking that dog down like a bear. I’d go arms up stretched tall and speak commandingly telling it to go home.

I’m very lucky it did and didnt attack me. I would never let my dog do that, yet that was a common dog ethic in my neighborhood there. People are fucking idiots. Dogs like anything are their responsibility

 

[10000yearsold]

You know what are more dangerous than pitbullss.,, people

 

[Natural Order]

ts doesn’t like pitbulls noted.

With proper people training, people can train them.

Unfortunately a lot of people aren’t properly trained.

There are hundreds of other breeds to choose from that don't come with the potential harm in society (ie children being eaten).

Tell us more about your vile selfishness.
