Very interesting approach.
Should have shot them a long time ago.
you nailed it!.... but it is ALWAYS the owners fault here on FR! always! even when these dogs are owned by professional type folk....great animal lovers who care tremendously about their pets and give them all the love a doggy should have...when they ‘snap’ and kill and maul the pit fans STILL blame the owners! I have known 3 ‘pit bull’ owning families, great pet owners, worked with the animals, spent a lot of time with the animals, etc. etc... AND the kids and the dogs were pals......but in all three cases the dogs ‘snapped’ at one point for some reason and attacked in all 3 families and hurt kids in 2 out of 3 of these families. why in God’s name have a dog that can ‘snap’ at any reason or for no apparent provocation...when there are so many other breeds out there to own that are so mild? I think we know the reason!!! but here on FR the defenders of these monsters ALWAYS blame the owners! how goddamn stupid can ya get? It is ALWAYS the owners fault!?? the 3 owners I mentioned earlier in this post were the best of dog owners but STILL these/their dogs snapped for God knows what reason......but here on FR it is the owners fault at all times. 4 inches or 5....ya never know...my doggy is rougher than yours thus I am rougher than you. Just like the kids and women who get their rocks off over this ‘ultimate fighting’ crap....getting off on men mauling each other like pit bulls fighting. freaking sick people. good God.. grow up folks huh? I’m an old timer and I will never understand the attraction to that. I bet those people search for dog fighting videos on the internet also to excite them. just sick pathetic young people I guess.
I want “habeus caninus”. Produce the dog. In many cases it is not a pit bull, just an aggessive dog. Pit bull gets the headline.
I recognize that people who want a mean dog pick out this breed. 30 years ago nobody heard of pit bulls but dobermans were going psycho on their owners left and right. Media hype propagated the myth.
I own a pit-boxer mix. He is a rescue and an abused dog, but he is a very happy animal. he will aggressively play with a 10 pond dog and never harm the animal. I believe that sentient beings (dogs and humans) are more nurture than nature. Raise a pit bull and a human to be mean and you will have better success with the dog. Raise a pitbull and a human in a good environment and you will still have better luck with the pit bull. We humans are way more unpredictable than dogs.
Retarded owner. A dogs natural tendency is to protect their turf, especially against weaker opposition. Anyone who thinks their dog that is so sweet around them could never hurt anyone is a fool. As much as i love mine, the owner must understand they have an animal they are morally and legally liable for.
Your property line is not what a dog defines as his territory.
Read mine. They dont say that.
With an understanding of animals like that it is a good thing they have cats, not pit bulls.....
He was born at the turn of the 20th century when life was a lot harder than today....and a man was a man not a wuss just like your father was a man...
Any one taking a school or college test should know that is false if the test is true or false..
Did you respond to the wrong post?
My neighbor had a pit bull, that was clearly vicious. This dog roamed the neighbor hood, at will, terrorizing other people and dogs. We have no animal control, nor any means of addressing this problem, but if you’ll note, all of my references in this article of the pit bull are in the past tense.
I think I was just responding to the term ALL dogs kill kittens...doing what comes naturally, perhaps I misunderstood your post or 2 shots of bourbon is my limit for the night.....:O) didn’t mean to offend...
With that said...I have a cat inside. My son has a boxer who has been visiting almost weekly for the past 4 years. The dog and cat tolerate each other IF we are present. I would never leave them alone in the same room unsupervised...for a second. That would be begging for disaster.
I carry an oak branch fashioned into a large walking stick. I used to carry a baseball bat but all I did was bruise my chins. I have seen people walking around carrying nine irons. I live in a rather safe area, but I don't like the thought of a vicious dog catching me unawares.
Somebody with an unnatural obsession with pit bulls is beginning to appear somewhat disturbed.
Re pit bulls are not dangerous, some do say that but maybe not this time.
;o)
a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.
Protection of family is no. One
The animals are unreal..they will actually jump up and snatch their prey out of a person’s arms
