Owning any of the powerful breeds is a big responsibility and liability.
Hello; I agree with this.
mother says they where eating him and nothing she could do, this nothing any mother should have to see.
Hello; I agree with this and the other statements about the owner needong to be punished for not being responsible in keeping the dogs pinned up.
that majority if not all "pit bull" related dog attacks
are not actually pit bulls but mutts
Hello; This "identification " ploy is addressed in on of the links I posted. It is a common way to try and confuse the issues with this type of bully dog. Also in one of the links was reference to a court determination about the ability of people to identify these type dogs. This ploy has been exposed.
what "we" man kind made them to be. the only ones at fault here are us humans for taking in a animal and not being responsible about it... most people who get/has dogs have no real knowledge of dog behavior or signs and what not and this is why dog attacks happen even though it can be avoided. people need to learn and study it before
please stop as any dog regardless of
its breed can be deemed "dangerous" and not just pit bulls.
Hello; Several have posted in this thread about the bully dogs require special handling and understanding. I get it, The bully types need such special handling.
I do contend that the bully types are more dangerious and have given the statistics several times. They are 6% of all dogs, yet responsible for around 55% of all fatal maulings. That alone is sufficent, to my way of thinking, to consider them as a dangerious type. Numbe two on the list of dangerious types are the rottweilers. The numbers are real and have held for several years.
what happened
is no doubt a very unfortunate event but people need to stop with this whole
pit bull is a evil breed of dogs
Hello; A mother being attacked and her child being mauled to death and partly consumed in front of her is more than "very unfortunate" to my way of thinking. This is a very suitable description of evil to me. These were not wild lions or some such, but dogs kept by people and what many consider a pet.
the child's mother is
also fault... she should not have let her child near the dogs or the fence where the
dogs were when both parties are unfamiliar with each other
Hello; You lose me completly with this statement. Are you out of your mind? Somehow we are not to walk down a street with our children in our neighborhoods?
the lounge has a long history of these threads. Nothing new has been posted. I see all the familiar faces from previous threads. Just tryna save you some time my friend
Hello; This is true. I have posted in these pitt bull threads before. I have had at least one pitt bull champion wish I will be mauled by a pitt bull i talked about in my neighborhood. Same people -same points being made. My points being the better of course.
getting bit by a small dog.
canine punctured the vein and the person bled out and died but its
hearsay so its not a guaranteed 100% fact.
Hello; Quite a stretch here.
Hello; This thread brought to mind an incident in Los Vegas. With reference to the notion that dog, including pitt bull types, can be trained to do whatever we want them to do or not do. I thought of Sigfred and Roy with their white tigers. I agree that the concept applies in that dangerious large animals can be trained. These guys did very well for a long time with the white tigers. Just took one bad day to end it . Dogs are not tigers, but the point was that they can have built in parts of their nature. That with training these natural tendencies can be suppressed I do not doubt, but they do not go away.
