Keeping them is illegal in many places. To encourage keeping them is criminally negligent.

This is my last post on this thread.

This forum is descending into hell. Look at all the threads that have been encouraged to flower. Many of them violates the rules of this web site.

dont think he was telling people to get them where they're banned :screwy:

There were a lot I didn't see, sorry about that.

Now go there and type in murder. There will be 1 for every minute of the past hour. You know who did all those, right? The gun/knife/fist or a person? Your chances of getting mualed by a pitbull are far less than the chances of just getting killed by another human being for money or something. Outlaw humans.

And I wanted to add something else about these "putbull" attacks. Half of the time they are not even pitbulls. There is a whole group of dogs that get clustered in the "pitbull" crowd. In my town, if you got bit by a bull dog or a mastif the papers would say" Man bit by pitbull." No joke, thats just how it is and if you are close to a city it is the same way. Every dog who bites someone becomes a pitbull.


I'm not going to drag this one down. I enjoy civil debate. I also don't think you can post that title in a water cooler and only have people post their rosy picture of the dog. I've seen people with well behaved pits. I have children that are small, who wouldn't be able to defend themselves from an aggresive dog of any kind.

I'm also from Denver and cheered the banning the breed from the city. They have become a badge of honor amoungst idiots wearing Bling and want to be tough guys. Felons buy them because they can't own guns. Children train them for jaw strength and fighting. To me they are a ghetto dog. Other dogs bite, but no other dog kills and maims people at the rate of pit bulls. Labs bite, but you don't hear of labs killing. Poodles bite, they don't kill. Pit's have been bred as a fighting dog. I don't want them anywhere near my neighborhood.

Please make sure to read the posts above, made by responsible pit bull owners. The fact that you have to use personal attacks or snotty comments about MFK to make your point shows how weak of a point it really is.

Actually only two or three people in this thread are responsible pit owners. Just because you just bought a puppy(the first died of a negliable accident), or had one for a short time, or want one for your 21st birthday doesn't mean you're a responsible owner. Unknownuza and Mrrngr94 and one or two others are about the only two people over who have truely owned them. Most either want one or just have some fascination with the breed that they think "they're like so the greatest dog evar!" *Said either in true valley girl or true thug life voice*


I think Juan just had a different opinion and wanted to speak it. He just rained on someones parade.


Havey, is right about the painting of a rosey picture. You can't talk pit bulls and forget or ignore the negative that has gotten to be the everyday with these dogs and(because of) the people that own them.
 
ive hade other dogs that are "bred to kill" as some of you so ignorantly stated. ive had 2 GS and 1 rottie. and all there were big babies. ive had experience with "mean" dogs as youve stated. im nothing but a country boy. i live in a town of less than a thousand people. and there are 3 people i know that have pits. they are beautiful dogs.

You consider yourself a responsible administrator? Shame on you!

There's a big difference between monsterfish and killer dogs. There's nothing friendly from dogs bred to kill. Try telling that to the families victimized by these vicious dogs.

Your reasoning is perverse, irresponsible, and may be criminally misinformed.

I don't know where you are getting your information but pit bulls have been bred for ages not to be aggressive towards humans. Before a dog fight the dogs are released by people other than the owner meaning the dog has to have interaction with someone they are not familiar with. If a dog in these fights bites one of the people to my understanding they are put down immediately. I have also seen countless episodes of Animal Cops on discovery where they are seizing dogs from what looks like a dog fighting type house and they will go in and grab maimed dogs that are covered in blood. The dogs on very few occasions show agression towards the animal cops and some even come out wagging their tails.

I cannot defend the breed against other animals espcially male dogs. My Pit is very dog agressive. But that is why I never I mean never let him out of the house off his leash. It is the law in VA to have your dog on a leash anyways.

It all stems back to responsible ownership. These dogs wind up in the wrong hands a lot of the time and it really makes me sad. I have seen it first hand when I was in college. The towny crack heads and they were literally crack heads had an underground fighting ring. They treated the dogs horribly. You can change a cocker spaniels disposition by beating it, not feeding it, locking it in a dark kennel etc but the pit bull breed has the physical characteristics and gameness that they are after.

I know my post is probably scattered thoughts but it really bothers me when I hear about Pit Bulls being vicious or evil dogs. For the rest of my life if I am going to have a dog as a companion it will be a pit bull. I have never seen a dog with so much personality, loyalty, and intelligence. He would undoubtedly follow me into a burning building to be with his master. My dog Grimace just turned 6 this past November and when I think of him getting old and dying I almost have a mid life crisis that is how much he means to me. Responsible owners of pits know exactly why other owners love them.

There is something to be said about all the "Pit Bull" attacks that are dogs of a mixed breed. One of my buddy's has a pit mixed with something unknown. His dog is close to 100 lbs. It closely resembles a pit bull but is looks to be mixed with mastiff, boxer, unknown dogs. If his dog were to attack someone it would surely be chalked up as another vicious pit bull attack.

Kevin I swear he only looks intimidating. He would not hurt a fly:D

Ask Li how much he loves Grimace:)

lol I know I'm used to being around dogs so he didn't bother me. But we were standing at the door to see if you were home and my friend was like "Riiiiiiiiight, he has a pit bull.." lol I think he was actually afraid. But yet with my great dane he's fine. And when we came in Grimace was all smiles and jsut wanted attention. Just the stigma.

But I think you're right with what you were saying, and most agree it's ownership that got this dog it's bad rep.

That is understandable. I would not have any strong breed with children either, its just to much risk. Shoot even a little dog with young children is not a good idea. I had to drive my friend to the hospital to get stitches from a laberdoodle bite! hahaha.

You see, I live by Gary IN (formerly the murder capital of the US, so you see why I trust a pit more than people). I see all the "ghetto dogs" rotts, sheperds, pits, dobies... and the list goes on. I also see and read about fighting pits all the time and I hate to say it but those blood lines need to be lost. Pits are bred in a few different ways. One of the cheapest and easiest to aquire dogs are the game bred dogs. These dogs have had fighters in their blood line for many gens and many are still bred for fighting. My pit was not. She was bred as working/show type. There hasn't been a game bred dog in her line for as far back as I can go. And I don't know if this makes a difference, but who would put a couple high dollar dogs in a fight? An idiot(maybe wearing bling bling but I hate stereo types). And most of the mean pits come from homes run by idiots.

But I do understand that if they are not your cup of tea, then thats alright. But I just wish that this dog didn't get the rap it is getting. I have never had a more obedient, energetic, and loving dog than my pit. She is not aggressive twords animals or people and I don't think that is going to change. The grand kids from across the street come over to play with my little Raven and the worst she has done was licked one of them to death.
