Or like attacking an elementary school with either a knife or an AR-15.

Yeah, no one (or at least very few people) on here even bat an eye when a post about parents after a shooting, whose kids actually DIED, turns into a debate about gun regulation...but say something bad about pit bulls? You're so insensitive!!!

This is how I got bit too! A little girl had the dog on a leash and it pulled her off her bike so my friend and I who were walking were like crap, we have to walk over to make sure she's okay. We get there and her dog lunges at me she lets go of the leash and I startle. The dog then started lunging at me and I…

It is NOT that simple, and insisting that it is is downright dangerous and does the breed zero favors. Pitbulls as a breed are dog aggressive...you can train and socialize your dog, never say a mean word to him, and STILL have a dangerously dog aggressive pit. Any owner of a pit has to accept and understand that…

Your analysis doesn't account reconcile the fact that they are responsible, as a single breed, than more attacks than all of the other breeds combined. You mentioned dobermans and rottweilers without statistics to shrug it off but why is an animal that has been shown to be extremely violent in enough situations not…

My dog, a chihuahua mix, is well trained and has never been aggressive. But I wouldn't be so stupid as to say he would NEVER attack anyone or bite anyone. He's a dog. And I'd rather take my chances with him than a pit bull.

That's absolutely not true. You can't assume ANY dog "will not attack anyone." They are still animals. The difference is that a "bad day" with a chihuahua is going to have a totally different outcome than a "bad day" with a pit bull.

I know - I feel like pit bull owners are also the most judgmental of people interacting with their dogs. "You stood to close to him! You moved too quickly! You talked with your deep voice!" How about having a dog that isn't going to attack a person for acting like a human being?

No. Pitbulls are a special breed with jaws far wider and larger than any other "big dog" and with a very aggressive temperament. They were bred specifically for brutal dog fighting and have no business being pets.

Owners dont bite children. I was at the flea market the other day where my daughter was very close to a scuffle between two pit bulls which drew blood. the owners put it off as the dogs were playing. Yes many pit bulls are sweet. But that is what every pit owner says. about 10 years ago a pitbull jumped in my face and…

Seems to be the case. It connects to their facebook page. I hope it's 100% legit.

And how many people do they kill/seriously injure? I'll take a bite from a beagle over a pit bull.

But until we have some sort of a test/training requirement before you're allowed to own a dog, I'm still going to be more concerned with my (little) dog around a pitbull than another little guy.

No, the dogs are more fucking aggressive and that's a fact. It's a dangerous dog, it shouldn't be anyone's pet, and fuck anybody that tries to negate the fact that it is a dangerous fucking animal that should be used only by extremely trained and qualified people. That rules out just about every single pet owner.

I tend to agree. The pro-pit bull people are SO quick to point out that "It's not about the breed! It's about the owner!" until they are publicizing statistics about how little dogs are more likely to bite (of course, not KILL or seriously injure) people - then we can make all sorts of generalizations about how…

Poor baby girl, I don't care what anybody say's about pitbulls it seems like they will always snap or attack a child. I love dogs but I will never get a pitbull.

Trying to make sure a pit won't kill is like trying to make sure a Beagle won't chase rabbits. It is literally what they were bred to do. To all the pit apologists, I can show you many articles about loving, wonderful pits from good families who one day... killed a kid. I fucking hate pits, and I would never trust one…

I'm really sick of the pro-pitbull crowd. There is a difference between being attacked by 3 pitbulls and being attacked by 3 chihuahuas. There just is.
