You see, pit bulls, almost alone among dog breeds, are capable of unpredictable and unprovoked savage violence against humans, no matter how well they've been domesticated or trained. There is no such thing as a safe pit bull. They are responsible for over 50% of reported dog attacks in America annually. Think about that. That's one out of over 100 breeds responsible for more than half of all attacks.
But it gets better. Most dog bites result in non-serious injuries. Pit Bull attacks disproportionately result in maiming or death. Most dogs, when provoked, will only attack people they perceive as weaker - children and the elderly. Pit Bulls and only Pit Bulls make no distinction between adults and children. They will attack anyone.
My evidence for all of that? Only the most comprehensive multi-decade study of American dog attacks ever conducted:
http://www.dogbitelaw.com/Dog%20Attacks%201982%20to%202006%20Clifton.pdf
So let's ask a question. Why would a person choose a pit bull? Let's draw up a list of pros and cons. We already know the cons: pit bulls, no matter how well trained, are capable of unprovoked lethal violence against anyone. There's the check mark in our con category. So what are the pros?
How about maybe, they make good guard dogs? No, sadly they don't. They don't have the guard dog instinct. They conspicuously don't make a top-18 list of best guard dog breeds. Although the author notes that many people use them as guard dogs anyway, counting on their mere scary appearance to be a deterrent to a trespasser.
Which bring us to the next "pro" consideration. Is this a cute, charming or handsome dog? Well, you be the judge.
So no. It's not a dog that works, it's not particularly intelligent or beautiful, it possesses no special skill or ability. It really has only one outstanding trait, and that's that it's unpredictably savage and that it attacks people at far higher rates than any other dog. Why is that so hard for Pit Bull fanciers to admit? Why do sites like these blame the pit bull's reputation as a scary savage dog on "media hype"? Are the mauling statistics not convincing? Do they think that Basset Hounds are sending children to the hospital with these kinds of facial wounds with equal frequency as pit bulls but the media conspiracy just suppresses it?So I mean, why not get a golden fucking retriever? Why would you get a pit bull? Even if you strongly disagree with me on the aesthetic question and you think this breed is handsome and beautiful, why get the one dog most statistically likely to maim your children? I don't get it. Is it that handsome and beautiful? Is it such a compelling dog in all other respects that you're willing to roll the dice on the maiming, and willing to pay higher insurance premiums? Of course it isn't.
In fact, there is only one "pro" to owning a pit bull terrier, and now we get back to my main point. The only reason to choose a pit bull is because you believe it is some kind of fashion accessory. You believe it's stylish. Specifically, you think that because the pit bull is a bad-ass dog, that it somehow makes you a bad-ass to own one. You're hoping that by owning an unpredictably violent dog, you will be thought of as a tough guy.
And to conclude, there's only one kind of person who would a) want to acquire a bad-ass reputation via dog breed selection, b) think that pit bull ownership actually accomplishes this, and c) think that pit bulls aren't really that dangerous. And that's a massively stupid person. And since the only reason to select the most savage dog in the breed book is to make this fashion statement, it follows that every pit bull owner is massively stupid.
Have a great day.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 355 of 355Lol you stupid pit bull owning cunt. We're not talking about your specific shit bull you stupid bastard! Do you even know dog sizes or are you that far gone also?? If a chihuahua bites you off of you. 100 out of 100 times you will win in a...(can't believe I have to explain this to you) chihuahua attack. Pit bulls (notice how I didn't say your pitbull even though that's all you talked about) are aggressive if they attack you will have scars, physical and mental, if you live....if you love so some dumb cunt can have a dog....like it's the only choice/only one at the pound/ only one to rescue. I think of pit bulls/owners like guns. I like guns, but just because I like something doesn't mean it should be with kids or forced on everyone around me. It's not 100% gonna go off and kill, but my dumb selfish ass should've known better than to be a selfish cunt with my desires. I still have scars on my hands and ribs necause a shitbull owner wouldn't tie up/muzzle his"baby". It ran from upstairs, downstairs, outside, snapped onto my hand then my ribs for being invited over to their house. AGAIN IM NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR STUPID DOG! So before you write another paragraph of "he's a....""he's very....""he's is....""he never....""he's just....""he understands....""he knows...." we get it! You're triggered and can't fathom otherwise that there are victims. The only thing that's is more perfect than you is you shit bull. Also naive owner who is part of the shit bulls routine, YOURE PART OF YHE SHIT BULLS ROUTINE. WHAT IF SOMEONE ISNT?? The dog doesnt stop at words, the scars don't go away with words. You're a living gun owner. N just because the safety is on, doesn't mean it's not a gun. Take responsibility by realizing this isn't a golden retriever/Labrador. If a golden retriever attacked and mauled a toddler it would make the news and be as huge story. Whenever one of your "babies" attacks a toddler it barely talked about because it's like"a pitbul attacked someone...again! Duh".
P.S. Isn't it kinda fucked to present them as "babies" and the memes like "look at this innocent dog" an the dogs set up to look ultra innocent? It's comparable to having a rapist be set up to look ultra innocent and being like "who could hate this face". After all not everybody rapes, it's just some..... I rape your wife but because it doesn't happen a lot and people like me it's ok? It belittles the victim. Yes some are nice. But to present it like that is the same as "She was asking to be raped because of her clothing". No the attacks is a monster and let's quit the bullshit
Can't believe how uneducated and unaware you are - beautiful and kind pit owner
It's obvious to anyone who owns or knows what a real "pit bull" is, that you do NOT. First example is the picture you posted of a "pit bull." The picture is of an American Bully. The dog's build does NOT resemble any version of a true pit bull.The "pit bull" is not a specific breed of dog, but a group of dogs that include the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The term "pit bull" is loosely used to describe dogs outside of those breeds, mainly from being misinformed or misidentified.
One of the reasons for higher statistics of "pit bull" attacks is because many are NOT caused by actual pit bulls, and are falsely identified. In, addition to that, the media like any other television program is out to get higher ratings. So, having a headline about a "pit bull" mauling is going to more attention and viewers than many other breeds.
There are many people who judge animals and or people based on what they see or here on the news, even when it is NOT true. It's not just the media who falsely identifies the breed, but people on YouTube, who show off their dogs and claim them to be pit bulls, and many commenters believe they are true pit bulls.

Pit bulls are also used as service dogs and therapy dogs for children and elderly people, because they are gentle and patient and love being with people. A well trained and socialized pit bull makes a great loyal, loving and affectionate pet. They are very sensitive and eager to please and always want to be around their human friends and family. There's a reason why they are called "Velcro" dogs. They are more patient and gentle, the reason why they were once called 'nanny" dogs. Pit Bulls are also used for search and rescue and some police forces use them as police dogs.

I've owned a real pit, and had friends, and friends' families and neighbors who owned real pit bulls and pit mixes and NOT one time did I ever feel threatened. In fact they were dogs most excited to greet me, jumping and tail and body wagging, waiting to lick me and sit on my lap. Anyone who’s lucky enough to spend time with a real pit bull, who is well trained knows the truth. They are just big babies that want to be with you every second and cry when they're not. There's a reason why many pit bulls develop separation anxiety. Even pit bulls I've met for the first time while at work from customers who brought their dogs with them showed no aggression, just pure friendliness and greetings with lickings.
A pit bull was NOT bread for human aggression as a trait, if the dog showed signs it would be put down. The problem is with backyard breeders who don't know what they’re doing or people who abuse their dogs and train them to be aggressive. Dogs are like people, they have their own individual personalities, no two are the same.
When a golden retriever attacks you, it is no big deal. When a poodle bites you, it is no big deal. When a mutt bite you, it is no big deal. People often die from pit bull attacks. If they do not die they end up in the operating room. How stupid must a person be to not understand that?

"When a golden retriever attacks you, it is no big deal."
Really? That's the stupidest thing I've ever read. Tell that to the parents of the 2 month old child whose legs were ripped off and killed by a Golden Retriever or the woman who was attacked by a her own Golden Retriever, where cops had to shoot the dog to end the attack.
Can Pit Bulls and "Pit Bulls" cause serious physical harm to other animals and humans?
Yes, obviously, but don't act like they're are NOT other dogs who can or will either. They're animals and animals can be unpredictable. You can NOT blame or stereotype a whole breed, when every dog has it's own personality, no matter how he or she is raised.
Pit Bull attacks are higher statistically, because of miss identification and higher reporting. It's like if a crime happened and every time the suspect had slanted eyes he would be "Chinese," or any dark skinned person was "Black," or every Latino was "Mexican," the stats of crime for those races would be higher, because of misidentifying a race or dog breed.

Just answer this question for me:
If Pitbulls don't have a propensity to seriously maim and kill, then why are they the breed of choice in dog fighting? I never hear of, nor see, dog fighting rings using Poodles or Afghan Hounds. There are reasons for fighting Pitbulls versus other breeds. You wouldn't choose a Terrier for retrieving, you'd choose a Retriever. You wouldn't choose a large working breed, such as a Mastiff, for cattle herding. You'd use a Border Collie. Different breeds were bred by PEOPLE to have certain traits and temperaments to do certain things for the PEOPLE that bred them. Do you understand how dog breeds differ, and how they are bred by breeders in the first place? What breeders actually breed OUT and IN through generations of litters, to make the best possible representative of that breed as possible? Anyone that doesn't understand that breeds DIFFER and don't understand how breeding actually works, shouldn't own a dog, period. If you want to own a Pitbull, fine. But at least educate yourself on what your breed actually is, and take responsibility for choosing to own an aggressive breed. Owning an aggressive breed is a lot of work. It means using proper equipment to handle your dog. It means NOT taking your dog to doggie parks, or walking in a vicinity of anything that may trigger the prey drive in your dog, whether that's human or animal. It means being aware of your dog's body language (which was bred out of Pitbulls before attacks, so good luck with that), and it means ALWAYS remembering that despite your efforts, your dog CAN hurt someone, and take full responsibility for that. Do you people even have insurance on your dogs?
Well, there’s the issue. A Pitbull is like a loaded pistol. It can be effectively controlled by a responsible owner, but how many are responsible? We lived next to one that tracked our dog while my daughter was walking him. There was no barking; just an unprovoked attack launched by that Pitbull jumping over our fence onto the sidewalk where it sank it’s teeth into our dog’s neck drenching our dog’s blood over my daughter’s pajamas. My daughter was going to lift her dog up. Thank God she didn’t because we would have had to take her to the hospital as well. We lost a beautiful little dog that brought us through so many tragedies including my battle with cancer. The neighbor said he had no idea that his dog was capable of such carnage. The Pitbull was put down, as it should have been. The family of breeds known as Pitbulls are responsible for more than 70% of dog attacks. If it’s not the breed, then it’s a case of mass irresponsibility on the part of pit owners. They need to educate themselves on how to do a much, much better job of controlling te loaded
pistols they are keeping as pets.
Responding to Lisa: great post. Says all that needs to be said.
Ya I tend to agree with the original post, never ever seen a "good" pitbull...Even when they arent mauling/ tearing a child or pregnant womans face off, they are just so freaking hyped up and annoying, much like their owners? And the owners are constantly like " o mine is a sweet little thing" blah blah blah, thats only cause they are as annoying as their pets, and their pet hasn't lost their shit...yet. PITBULL OWNERS NEED TO GET REAL
And as was mentioned before, they arent really useful for much of anything either. Id rather have a cat for F$ck sakes
Great post, there is no reason to own a Pittbull. If you want one go right ahead but keep it away from me.
Stickman is a Cock Womble of the highest order! "Kick the dog in the head" Yeah you try kicking 'my' dog and your going to the Morgue you worthless piece of Shit!
Well said!
Some dogs are bred for fighting it dosnt mean their all violent cane corsos,mastiffs,great danes,irish wolfhounds,were all bred to kill either men or beasts you don't see people whining about them and there's so many pitbull attacks because pitbulls are cheap as fuck,there fucking everywhere,and alot of dumbassess who get ahold of them couldn't train or raise any dog effectively let alone a dog bred to fight with such vigor
People who have been responding here with personal stories about how their pit is the sweetest, gentlest animal ever seen on God's green earth are missing my point. I'm happy for you that your pit hasn't killed you. But the point is, how could you look at 200 breeds and conclude that the one that sometimes murders children is the right choice?
The American Kennel club recognizes 200 dog breeds. Let's say you walk in the ice cream parlor and there are 200 flavors to choose from. All the flavors are tasty. But there's this one flavor, Rum Raisin, that has a troubled reputation. You see, there's a growing body of evidence that a cone of rum raisin *may* disfigure your face and kill your children in their cribs. Maybe. On the other hand, there are fans of rum raisin that say, hey! we've never been killed. Our rum raisin cones have always been delicious and have never sent anyone to the ER.
The point is, there's no need to actually settle this debate. The point is that you get mint chocolate chip and you get the fuck out of there.
Ken Quin, you're retarded as fuck. Almost all of the gang violence in the United States or America is commited by African-Americans and Latinos. Souther Poverty Law Center is a joke
I'm sorry to hear that. Pittbull owners are the scum of the earth.
Nobody should ever own a pitt.
Most the pittbull owners I've met are complete idiots. My friends ex wife is obsessed with those freaks, and she's also the type of person to smoke pot everyday and sit around being lazy while wondering why her life sucks.
Pitts are the only dog breed I hate. I'm a dog guy, and I'm also good with animals. With Pitts I have a disconnect. They're dumb, ugly, aggressive, and did I mention they were dumb? Yeah, because that part needs to be repeated.
Whenever my friends retarded Pitbull starts jumping on me I get the urge to stab it in the juggler with a tactical knife or blow it's head off with a 10 gauge.
Another friend I have I won't even get out of his house whenever his bitch pitbull is out because if she ever got near me I would have to shoot her and then me and him would end up in a fight and I don't want that. You have to be a low life to own one of these things and yeah I'm including some of my own personal friends. Cool guy but if I lived in his neighborhood and he ever had that dog off the chain he would have a serious problem with me putting my foot up his ass, and lead in his ugly pitbull.
When I was a little kid I unfortunately owned one of these beasts before I knew any better, and he was only half pit.
My neighbor had a good ole bird dog named Walter. He used to fight my dog Jake a lot, and it was never anything to worry about. They'd have normal fights and that was it.
Now mine was only half Pitt and was actually a sweet dog usually. His stupid ass heard Jake and Walter having a normal fight and that retarded jumped the fence and ripped poor ole Walter to shreds.
It was fucked up. My ex girlfriend was riding her bike around the block way back in elementary school and some hillbilly trailer trash meth headed convict scumbag had his jacked up Pitt off the chain and he tried to chase her down and kill her. If she didn't have that bike and she was on foot that nasty bastard would have killed her.
It's always assholes they think they're always right about everything, and everyone else is wrong, and people that hate pittbulls are just idiots that promote this shit. Sick of trashy morons and their pittbulls.
I'd also like to add my father has this trashy neighbor that breeds those things. Whenever they get off the chain they terrorize the neighborhood. They're going to kill a child one day. I've already shot two of them for being off the chain and I'll probably do it again.
Scumbags all of you pitt owners.
The type of people that have no respect for others are the same people that own these ugly bastard mutts.
You ever try to "punch me" because I don't like your nasty killer freak I'll choke your trashy ass out faster than you can say "redneck" you hillbilly piece of shit.
You're about as intelligent as a pittbull you scumbag. If your IQ is 169 then I'm up their with Albert Einstein! Emma you can shut your redneck mouth you retarded fuck.
"Protecting the owner" no the fucking thing damn near killed her and that's all you can say? Pittbull owners lack compassion, common sense, and respect for others.
You're 12 years old. You're smart? You don't even have hsir on your nuts kid you got no life experiance. Until you've actually lived you can shut up little dude. I've seen pittbull brutality multiple times in my life. I had a dog thst was half-pitt when I was ahout 12 and he jumped the fence and tore my neighbords old bird dog to shreds. Your parents are sick individual's if they're letting a 12 year old own a full blooded pitt. My stepdad was a jackass and my mom wasn't very bright. My real father would have never let me own that mutt, not even a half breed. Grow up you little smart mouthed brat. You really think you're smarter than an adult? Clearly your parents are raising you to he and egotistical, arrogant, little punk.
Your IQ isn't 175, and even if it is you still lack common sense.
Sonia, you're a scumbag. I've personally been chased down by those psychopsthic creatures from hell. The only thing that saved me is I'm a young, healthy, man that was fast enough and athletic enough to run away and jump a super tall fence. If I was an old lady or a small child I'd be dead or deformed. Were sick of scum like you, were standing up to bullies like you and your fucked up dogs. I've got major damage in my hands from having to climb that fence. You're the idiot, you're the hateful one, you're the bully. Fuck off
Has anyone mentioned the several countries around the world that have already BANNED pit bulls? That would also support the fact that they are vicious and unpredictable and will/do cripple or kill other pets and dear friends and family(people!). Have any of you pit bull owners looked up unbiased and accurate statistics about your breed and comparing breeds?
The woman above who told of the pit bull mix who permanently crippled her makes me afraid that in some future scenario my wife could be attacked in a similar way. The facts show the pit/mastiff breeds are far more vicious than the other breeds perceived to be violent and aggressive associates(Rotweilers, Dobermans, Huskies, etc.). I asked a friend why law enforcement professionals don't use pit bulls as search dogs and in canine units. His response was they can't be trained. I've read they are at the lower levels within the dog breed intelligence range.
You're an idiot, first of all it's none of your concern who owns a pitbull. I own a pitbull and he's the sweetest god damn dog i have EVER owned, so you can fuck off.
The last pit owner is prime example of the level of intelligence of a pit owner, sad.
Your an idiot
Hey kid, I bet you're not smarter. In fact I bet your mom has to scrub extra hard to get the skid marks out of your underoos. Go back to eating boogers and leave the discussion to the adults.
We need to get rid of pit bulls. Anyone reading, check out Daxton's Friends, Dogsbite.org, Animals 24-7, National Pit Bull Awareness and Pit Bull Attack Retweets. Those are just a few of the pages that tell the gruesome story of pit bulls killing and mauling people.
The greatest victims of pit bulls are animals though. Other animals, farm animals, cats dogs, horses, sheep, goats and untold wild animals that are regularly mauled and killed by 1 in 8 pit bulls during the pit bull's lifetime.
The kindest thing to do is to stop breeding these killer animals and make owning one of them illegal.
and you all blame pit bulls!!???, after so many violent language in this blog we should understand why some dogs tend to be aggressive towards humans!!!
The only thing worse than pitbulls are the people who keep them as pets; both should be gassed.
90% of pit owners don't understand breeds. It was bred for blood sport. Breeds of horses were bred for specific characteristics also.
Name calling doesn't change a thing.
My dog wouldn't hurt a fly, what they all say, until it mauls.
Shut your mouth you pussy, I'd sick all of my pitbulls on your dumb ass if I knew where you lived you little bitch, fuck your snauzer and fuck your wife you pussy
The writer of this post and the supporters in the comments are as ignorant as they come. Speaking so sure on something they have no experience with. All these “attacks”, have you spent years with the dog? To know if the owner was worth a damn? Probably not I’ve been attacked by chihuahuas more times than I can count and met more nippy labs than I can count as well but I’ve never once met a pit mix or pure bred that wasn’t loyal and easily trained. The same people who owned a pit and had it attack someone or something would have had the same result if they were the owner of a different breed. It’s not the breed it’s how they are raised. If you are strict and give them serious commands and give them boundaries that are not to be crossed ever than any dog especially a pit will be the best dog ever. You get issues with any dog when the owner is lax and lazy and doesn’t give them strict structure. Hold them or talk to them like a baby? Dog will probably bite someone (no matter the breed) feed them food from your plate or something you’ve bit out of and you will have them coming for your food. When you are strict and give clear cut unwavering rules to them they are better behaved and happier because they know exactly what is expected of them instead of them wondering “is this okay for me to do” train your damn dog and it will be fine act lazy and baby them and even teacup dogs will be a nightmare

People with low IQ's, who have posted comments in favor of pit bulls, either use no logic in their defense of pit bulls or want to resort to violence. This is very common for the unintelligent people of the world. Perhaps they will learn with their pit bull attacks a family member. I have a cousin who was once and avid fan of pit bulls, until one day it got upset and put his daughter in intensive care.
It's true of course that any animal provoked or not can attack anything at anytime. Truly, they simply are animals. The only animal I've observed to attack another one unprovoked is a pitbull. The Pitbull female lived in the house with two other pitbulls one being her son and the other being the father of her son. The female was alone in the house with the cat that she had been in the house with for several years. She was alone with the cat for a few minutes one day, when we heard a noise, we went into the house and saw that the cat had been brutally attacked in the stomach of course...the Killer attack...the stomach is the most vulnerable part of an animal. Animals left alone or with others may be in a vulnerable position and are subject to be attacked. I would never take a chance on my child or loved one being harmed just because I wanted to have a pet.
I wish you would have also brought up the fact that most pit bull owners don't believe in spaying and neutering, which is part of why there are so many in dog rescues. Every single one of my friends who own female pit bulls (that weren't rescues) have had "accidents" and have had to give away puppies. That would be the biggest proof that they are idiots in my book.
Hey 168 IQ, remember to use spellcheck next time.
Because they have no character anyone who owns a pitbull is lacking in some way
100% correct
I was attacked in my backyard as a young child by one of these asshole dogs i.e. pitbulls. These dogs suck.
Key part of your sentence is BRED FOR FIGHTING you jackass. Meaning they are unpredictable and can kill you when they lash out. Your reasoning skills are lacking
Those who insist on defending pit bulls should read the following which happened just within the last month:

Pediatrician here, owns 3 pits, smallest weighs 71lbs. That means pounds for the author of the OP
If you are an MD and own pit bulls you are an idiot. Sorry, I mean a bigger idiot than the typical redneck, moron pit owner.
No. They’re just suffer “Manson Family” member syndrome - Charles wasn’t a deranged depraved sociopaths—- just misunderstood!!!😂😂😂😂😂
You obviously don't actually know the history of the pit bull except that they were "made for blood sport", being half informed is just as dangerous as being misinformed and uninformed. I've seen you reply to basically every pro-pit comment on this feed being negative to or about them, so you must have plenty of free time, you should take some of that time to stop trying spreading ignorance and being hateful to go and expand your knowledge on this subject. Because so far all you have done with each and every reply is prove more and more who are and who are not the true idiots involved in this discussion.

It's amazing how so many people in the world today feel the need to have an opinion based on no real knowledge or understanding of something and then to make that ignorant opinion public, I guess actual pride in oneself is a rare quality these days. To all those that are anti pit bull, you're ignorant, go do actual research on the dog, the history of it's breed, might be surprised to find out that bite inhibition towards people was something that was deeply breed into this dog from the beginning and that this dog actually has had a rich and massively important role in the US since it came here and became the American Pit Bull. It's because of posts like this one that so many people that are idiots and/should not own a dog in the first place choose to get a pit bull, it's because of the ignorance that so many on this thread had shown and felt the need to spread that has led to the stigma these dogs have which in turn is whats led to the real problems facing so many people and this breed currently. Go educate yourselves before making your opinions public, have some respect and pride in yourselves and those who you may negatively impact with your ignorance, it's those of you who don't do this that are the selfish idiots.
The nanny dog myth was concocted in the early 1970's.
Way to willingly drink the Kool Aid. You are ignorant to the violent origins of this breed, which has inherent breed traits just like ANY OTHER DOG.
This breed was designed to attack without warning, never back down or let go and have a high pain tolerance.
It has everything to so with the breed and the unpredictable level of L-Tyrosine in their brains. You never know what you will get with a pit bull. I care more about the innocent victims and beloved pets brutally MAULED OR MURDERED by these animals than this trash breed.
The guy who wrote this article is the stupid one. Go swallow a knife bud.
This is a fantastic article and well written. Thank you.
Thank you for telling the truth.
It is time that dog owners wake up and realize that we are ALL going to pay for Pit Bulls.
In fact, according to State Farm home insurance statistics, (one of the very few still insuring Pit Bulls and financially suffering because of it), the way they deal with this is they make all dog owners share the higher costs. The way many places deal with Pit Bulls is they simply outlaw ALL dogs. And dog owners need to watch a few YouTube videos so that they can learn how to (potentially) save their own dog when attacked. It is VERY VERY hard to do! In fact, out of many of the mauled people including my brother and my friend, the way they got mauled was, they were trying to save their dog's life!
How enlightening too, that you managed to pick up on all this even though you have not had the experiences I have had. As a nurse, I have personally looked into the eyes of a very upset young man whose face was torn off by two pit bulls. He was pulling his canoe out of the river in the mountains when a woman yelled at him, he turned, and two pit bulls jumped into the river and seriously mauled him. The owner then took her dogs and left him alone, seriously injured, and bleeding profusely, in the middle of no where. I am so sick of Pit Bull Advocates comparing Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls. . . as if one shallow puncture wound in an ankle could compare to the horrific disfiguring maulings I have seen!!! (Not even close!) In my score book it is thus: Serious disfiguring, life altering, super expensive maulings with horrible physical as well as psychological distress: Pit Bulls: 7. Chihuahuas: ZERO!
My neighbor is a typical unemployed white trash, wakes up at noon everyday, smoking cigarettes and marijuana inside a condominium building, and outside in the balcony 24/7, growing 6 mature marijuana plants in his balcony, and he has a stupid pit bull that barks at anything that’s moves, even at 2am on weeknights, when I confronted the guy about the barking he said, “oh next time you can just knock on my door if that bothers you”, “at 2am?!” “well you always have a problem”. The animal even barks at me when I look out the window from my own apt, because the owner leaves him roaming around the entire house including the balcony. It barks viciously when someone talks in the hallway too, because it’s been locked up inside all day. So yeah, I agree 200% that most losers have pit bulls, and they don’t give a rat’s ass about anyone else, nor the dog’s wellbeing. And you know what, they “pretend” to yell at their little monsters when people get scared or disturbed by the random barking, sometimes I’m not sure if the dog deserves twat owners like that. Maybe they deserve each other. The dog is for security purpose if you’re a pothead who grows and sells marijuana. If you see one on the street, stir clear from it and its owner because they’re mostly either ignorant, dangerous, or outright shitheads who don’t give a F when others are disturbed.
You can tell this person has sex with dogs ... let me tell you something it's always the dogs fault okay it's an animal all wild animals are unpredictable. If you have a cougar in your backyard it's the cougars attitude the environment confusion hysteria dehydration hunger all these things factor and especially with dogs.dogs that direct bloodline to wolves so you're going to say a wolf attack someone so I must be a human's fault
You are the idiot.
I'm now fostering a pitbull and I can say with certainty these dogs should be phased out of existence. Not euthanized or something but breeding should be banned. The danger potential is high and humans are woefully irresponsible in just about every situation where there's a chance to be irresponsible.
To clarify, pitbulls are not the problem; humans are. That said, all of the powerful, dangerous breed from Rottweilers to Mastiffs to German Shepherds should be phased out. They are not needed and the use of them as weapons by police and military is inhumane. Risking a dog's life for human conflict? Fuck that.
The only police/military use for dogs should be drug/bomb-sniffing dogs and you don't need strong/dangerous dogs for those purposes; dogs such as blood-hounds or beagles work great.
The blogger that wrote this is clearly biased and clearly a fucktard. You explained the entire problem with pitbulls right off the bat. Morons get them as a power symbol. You can read more about that here in an unbiased study on pitbulls: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/250172893_Are_Pit_Bulls_Different_An_Analysis_of_the_Pit_Bull_Terrier_Controversy
My personal experience ALSO agrees with the author of this post. Pit Bull owners tend to be mentally challenged AND/OR unbalanced! People who are so insecure and cowardly, they need to get a 'bad-ass' dog to make others think they are tough.
I couldn't agree more. You have to be an asshole and a moron to own one of these shithounds.
I've been watching my neighbors and although not normally aggressive and can go off and start chasing families, other dogs, it's a total piece of shit. It's also a total velcro dog and constantly follows me around the house. And the wiggling thing is the most obnoxious crap I've ever witnessed. You have to have the mind and emotional intellect of a toddler to like these things. They should all be shot.
I'm curious if this blogger has ever owned a Pitbull. It seems to me that if someone is going to post such inflammatory, judgmental statements, perhaps their experience on the subject should extend beyond that of mere hearsay.
You're a blogger, no? For someone who prizes IQ scores, you're not a very bright one, because (with this post) you've allowed your untethered, unsubstantiated prejudice to tarnish your credibility. I've never read anything else written by you and after this, I don't care to. That may be of little concern to you, seeing as my IQ isn't quite 175. It is up there, though. Seeing as you favor statistics so fervently, more people will be drafted into the NBA than have an IQ that exceeds that of this lowly "idiot" of a Pitbull lover/owner.
Regardless of what data you presented, your research is full of holes. You state deaths caused by dog attacks as being in the 300's, as though readers will see 300+ as some highly influential number and they may. If they do,then 931 would be a number w/ nearly 3X that impact, correct? 931 is the number of Pitbulls that have been thoroughly tested by The American Temperament Test Society. Of that 931, 814 passed, giving the breed a temperament score of 87.4%. For the sake of comparison, the Golden Retriever scored 85.6% (lower). Other breeds in the 87th percentile include the Chesapeake Bay Retriever,Standard Poodle & Newfoundland. I'm a frequent reader of Psychology Today and read a study, recently, that determined favored dog breed based on human temperament & behaviors. The most desired breed of individuals with a history of violence/crime is the Pitbull. My theory is because they are strong, low-maintenance, loyal & obedient dogs, because (let's face it) violent thugs aren't exactly known for being patient, responsible, intelligent or nurturing. Now, take a resilient, devoted,smart, obedient dog and give it master who only understands aggression...over time, "obedience" is to be aggressive; "intelligence" is to realize "kill or be killed" and "loyalty/devotion" is to "fight to the death". In other words, whether or not a gun is dangerous depends on who has it. Over 900 temperament tests performed by well-educated, high-minded people prove this breed of dog is inherently good. That being said,could it be possible that the data placing Pitbulls at the top of the violent dog list stems from the fact that they are the most frequently owned breed of violent criminals and has nothing to do with inherent traits? I don't socialize with dangerous or violent people, but I have known several Pitbull owners (myself included) and I have yet to encounter a Pitbull that was anything other than loving & playful...you do the math.
Bahahahha the mental gymnastics these pitnutters keep going on about. not ALL pitbulls are bad cause MINE hasnt mauled anyone yet. Dumb shits would rather gamble on having someone die and then regret their choice, not to mention pit bulls are so fucking ugly I guess it suits the owner then? birds of a feather flock together? Get back to your fucking gettos lmao.
Good grief, I was attacked by one when I was 5. The Hillbilly neighbor had it tied up and it broke loose. Some teenager scooped me up before the terror beast could kill me. And that ass of a neighbor just laughed about it. Fast forward 30 years and my coworkers Dachshund was killed by one because some asshole let their death machine get loose. I hate those damn dogs. Everyone I know that has one in upstate NY is retarded and missing 90% of their teeth.
I've been charged at and bitten by small dogs countless times. So does that mean all small dogs are evil and bloodthirsty? All of you moronic people who are judging an entire breed due to the actions of a tiny ass fraction are ridiculous. If you were to be judged based on rhe actions of one or two people of your race or sex you'd think that it was unfair and ignorant. But you have no problem doing that exact thing. Yes it's probably pretty accurate that all idiots own pitbulls, but that doesn't mean all pitbull owners are idiots. You people nake me sick. You're ignorant and are disgusting to to the core. Pitbulls were bred with specific characteristics
Guess what characteristic was the most important in that breeding. Biting human inhibitors. But you're all too fucking lazy and pathetic to do research before publicly giving your opinions. Do us all a favor and take a bath with a toaster. Fucking scumbags
you're a toothless hillbilly
I would be perfectly all right with pitbulls if the people who owned them were held 100% liable for their crimes. A pitbull mauls an 3 year old? The owner should be charged with mauling a 3 year old. A pitbull attacks a six year old waiting at the school bus stop? The owner should be charged for attacking that child. Someone walks around with their monster on a slack leash and no muzzle? They should be charged as though they were carrying a gun with no safety lock. If we held all these menacing thugs who enjoy watching people cross the street to avoid them accountable for their dogs' misdeeds, then even those people would stop owning them (and of course the dog that 'never hurt anyone before' should automatically be euthanized).
love it. fuck those ugly ass cunts and those ugly ass niggers that own them
Thank you for this article. The most eloquent and logical post about pitbulls I have read in the long time. Completely agree and hope these dogs are banned soon
I'm a computer systems engineer, with an IQ well above your random boundary. I have 2 mastiff pit bulls and a chocolate lab mix. The lab has bitten everyone who loves her at least once. My pits are giant sofa loaves. They're not violent or aggressive, but neither am I. Behavior is learned, my shit flinging howler monkey friend. Humans are bred for war and childbirth. Humans are violent, selfish, greedy, stupid animals and we wouldn't make great pets. My dogs are good friends and great pets. I like them better than humans, especially stupid racist humans who can't see the orangutan in the mirror.
Dueces
PIT BULLS (AND THEIR PIECE OF SHIT OWNERS) HAVE NO BUSINESS IN A SOCIETY
Pit bull owners ... well there's no they have to be, but they most certainly are without a doubt the most ridiculous, over-compensating, small disked, completely stupid, arrogant, selfish, narcissistic and absolutely small minded, and all this while accompanied by shallow/fragile egos.
I do understand, that all dogs bite. I do understand that raising dogs and training them is a must if you want to live in a society. I also understand those dogs were bred to take down bulls. You cannot train the aggression out of them. You cannot train the unpredictability out of them. And they don't get along with people and animals they are unfamiliar with. They simply do not. Its the same as owning a loaded weapon that malfunctions occasionally, or may have issues functioning. Sometimes they work. Maybe even most of the time, but eventually something will go wrong. There's no telling when.
Its always pit bull owners at the park who refuses to leash their dog at the park because their dog would never hurt anyone or they don't have a mean bone in their body. That is until they do, attack a child or another animal... then it is considerably worse than a smaller dog biting you. They are in fact responsible for over 50 % of fatal attacks on people and other animals.
Hey you, yeah you you stupid asshole in the park who refuses to leash your pit bull, when was the last time you heard about a pack of chihuahuas attacking, mauling and fatally killing a jogger... OH, NEVER!!! All of the statistics have accumulated for a reason, but as a animal lover I don't blame the dog. I do however, blame you. You are the fucking idiot with a micro dick who is trying so hard to prove yourself and the dog is the one who suffers for your ignorance.
Good job. Perhaps we should just euthanize you.
when was the last time you heard about a chihuahua or two attacking, mauling and fatally killing a jogger, a child,.... or NEVER.
Pit bull owners are micro-dicked, and incredibly stupid. You post just proves that perhaps euthanizing the dog instead of the owner has been society's problem. You clearly cannot read, ... or learn.
You are the assholes who refuse to leash your pit bull dogs at the park. You ruin it for everyone else.
Good for you.
From what I can gather from the comment section, pitbull dog owners are mentally retarded and need institutionalized. Literally, WTF is wrong with you "bad ass" wanna be, ignorant, hillbilly jackoffs. You only want a pitbull because you have a small D
Pit bulls are the niggers of the dog world.
Just like jiggaboos are 12% of the poulation and male negroids are 6% yet committ 68% of all violent crime according to FBI crime stats, shit bulls commit 2/3 of all bog bites and fatalities.
Ban nignogs and shit bulls.
A pit bull is an exact reflection of an american. A piece of shit. This is why they have become extremely popular amongst Americans.
In Florida many attractive white women of all socioeconomic classes own pit bulls. This is of no surprise as I agree with the anonymous comment above me on my observations of my fellow Americans and there strange attraction to this breed. The choice of dog is definitely a reflection of the owners mentality be it male or female. Now the question is why would attractive suburban housewives choose to own this breed? It's an easy answer, the answer is the same reason they choose their horrible husbands, american women choose shit men and choose shit dogs because they think they can change them. They enjoy living with dangerous animals because they think they can control them, but this is never true, wait until the day one of them snaps on you, either the husband or the dog whichever comes first.
Pitbulls have been proven by science to be the babysitter breed. They have also been proven to be one of the most loving breeds to humans. Some pitbulls are trained to fight and that is why so many are aggressive. It is not in their blood, they have been abused. Blame the Morons who abuse them and train them to fight.
Nanny dog is a known myth you melon
Have to agree with you here. Of all of the dog attacks over the years in my friend and family group one was a basset hound. The hound was guarding it's yard against trespassing strangers and only left a scrape on my brothers skin, we honestly shouldn't have been there. The others was a stray collie who had been abused and dumped in the neighborhood. He bit a teen relatives hand once and ran away. The teen was a stranger to the dog who approached him on the street and began petting him(always a bad idea). My cousin was working on his vehicle in his own yard when a local pitt came up into his yard while he was leaning under the hood and attacked him for absolutely no reason, he is incredibly strong and had to beat her off with a large mechanics wrench. Needed lots of stitches. Still he was a stranger to her and though the attack was unprovoked, at least she wasn't a friend of his. My other cousin was feeding his pitt bull (not a fighting dog, in fact still very young) when it suddenly attacked he and his brother. This was the dog's family, yet it attacked them for giving it food. I watched this happen, they had done nothing. Many stitches were needed and had it been a bit older I doubt they would have gotten away so easily. Another time, My son stood next to me in our own driveway. He was leaning sleepily against me, sucking his thumb and staring off into the distance when suddenly an associates pitbull (that he had insisted on bringing everywhere with him) lunged at my son's face. The only thing that saved him was the fact that her owner had his hand tightly on her collar. Her jaws snapped shut in the air less than a half inch from my child's face. It was while her owner was talking about how misunderstood pitts are and how great she was....not making that part up...wish I were. Again unprovoked. Also my child had just been giving her toys and treats not 20 minutes before. Another time my neighbor had a female pitt that I had been friends with. Everyday I would pet and play with this dog, for years. She would often get loose, but she was another pro pitt person who swore her dog wouldn't hurt a fly, which I also believed until one morning in my driveway I was getting out of my car when the dog I had long been friends with came over and without warning, just lunged at me. The door was only half open so I quickly shut it but she had left teeth marks on it. I don't know why she did that, it was so sudden and unprovoked. She sat and waited for me to get out again. I had to call her owner to come get her. The saddest of all of my pitbull friends stories was a neighbor a couple blocks up whose pitbull was her other baby. Her little son used to take naps laying against the dog until one day the dog decided she didn't like him anymore and killed him. There was nothing anyone could do to stop her. It barely made the news. She was pro pitt til that happened, her son was 2 years old. The other dog attacks (basset hound and collie) were with strangers and the circumstances were understandable, as the dogs were afraid. They each only bit once and went away. The Pitt attacks and near attacks were different as all were unprovoked, without warning. Two were against their own family members, one was against a close friend and one actually killed their family's baby. They weren't protecting territory or anyone they loved and weren't being approached. Unprovoked attacks without warning. In all of these cases the Pitts came up to attack. They weren't on the defensive, they weren't being approached (except the one who was being fed by the family's children). I have gotten to know many of them over the years and that is the reason I don't trust them as a breed. Experience. These dogs are unpredictable and it isn't because they are being abused.
If you're so keen on academic sources, why do you repeatedly misspell academic as acedemic?
Actual, not actuall
Dissenting, not desenting
You also committed multiple grammatical mistakes (see "is completely bias". Not only is this written in the verboten passive voice, it also lacks tense agreement). It could be that English is your second language but your use of colloquialism belies that.
And holy run-on-sentence! That last one is a doozy, it must be at least 50 words in length. The structure is 6th grade level, tops.
Sorry, but if you're going to boast of a genius-level IQ and expect us to take you on your word, you should sharpen up your writing skills. It's VERY hard to believe this was produced by an educated person of average intellect, let alone an educated person of superior intellect.
Shut up idiot
Lmao. Spot on!
do u know what i heard? That only people who think that pit bulls should be banned or bull like that are IDIOTS. If u think that pitbulls are the problem, well newsflash, its the owner. I have tons of relatives that have pitbulls, and they are the sweetest dogs I've ever met. They wouldn't go after a fly! U don't assume. Someone once told me; assumptions make people A-holes!
Have common sense, or say nothin' at all.
What a great post! You never hear anyone argue that a Golden Retriever is a dangerous dog. Why is that? While we can all quibble over the details of either side of this view, I think the overall points made in this blog post hold more weight than the side of pro pitbulls. Beautiful post and I love the sensitivity of pitbull owners on display here. It hits a nerve because these poor saps know there is a lot of truth here.
I think over train my Pitbull terriers(3) because statements like this. They recall is on point. As any dog when they see a cat run pass them they are game to chase. But again there recall is great. But for any animal I won’t have them kissing babies or jumping on strangers.
who is the freakn moron who wrote this article?????!!!!! are you kidding me for real????? you know how many german sheparda atrack humans and kill kids and they are suppose to be real smart and easy to train, know how many chows attack people???? or any dog for that matter!!! so whoever the idiot is who wrote this article keep your fkn mouth shut!!a fact= dogs are animals and animals have animal instincts and some attack people, just the nature of the beast, so shut your mouth ignorant ass, two how dogs are raised by their owners are how they will behave and act towarda other people, some, few percentage of dogs no matter how they are raised with automatically beast aggressive towards anybody, or be protective over their owner, just the way it is, they are pack animals, and have small circles, i have a pit bull and he is an amazing dog and very sweet, has never growled towards anybody, never tried to bite anyone, he is a little ditzy but other than hard headed he is an amazing pet, so miss me with your ignorant article, get educated and actually put your self around pit bulls, raise one up and tell me how you think after that.. ok idiot im done with this lame ass article and the lame who wrote it, come call me dumb to my face and lets see where you end up punk
This is exactly like saying all black people are criminals. Whoever posted this sounds so stupid and uneducated. Clearly does not have enough experience around pitbulls or dogs in general. If you have stupid thoughts like this keep that shit to yourself its toxic and spreads a culture of ignorance and hate that is harmful to pitbulls. My friend who has three pitbulls, the most sweet and mild mannered dogs i've ever met. One of them escaped the yard one time but because of bullshit rhetoric like this, one of the idiot neighbors took it upon himself to ignore her collar and shoot her for literally no reason other than being a pitbull. Posting this kind of bullshit really does harm people. literaly ALL large dogs have the potential to be dangerous. I hope whoever wrote this gets the mental help he clearly needs.
The only one who are shits are crazy pitbull haters like you.
The only one who are shits are crazy pitbull haters like you.
The article is so full of shit. Pitbulls don’t attack unprovoked. They give warning signs. The one who wrote this has a low iq. They should google search Pitbulls saving lives and look up breeds that are misidentified as pitbulls. And other breeds that aren’t small have also maul and kill. Only an idiot wrote this and only an morons would believe this. This is anti Pitbulls propaganda. Anti pitbull bias. This article is into scaring people instead of educating them. Yes the pro side does the same, but the other sides also spread half lies.
The person should also look media bias against Pitbulls too.
Also back then, Pitbulls weren’t seen as monsters. Pitbull haters show how vile they are. The person has no business talking about low iq when they themselves have one.
Correction: Only idiots will believe in this bs. Yes idiots own Pitbulls. Pitbulls aren’t bred to be aggressive towards humans, but idiots train them to be so. But we have smart people owning them. Idiots own other breeds. There reasons why a pit is human aggressive, but genes aren’t one of them. They can also be use for other things, so not all are bred for dog fights. Other breeds too. Look up Japanese fighting dog.

This pitbull proves that not all pits are the same. There million of pits who never harm even after death. Pitbulls who attack come from the hood and their owners made them that way.
Oh nonsense. Look up lab maul child or huskies maul child. Many other breed has maul a kid. Look up media bias against Pitbulls, breeds that are misidentified as Pitbulls and YouTube search Pitbulls saving. There are million of pits who never maul even after death. The ones that do come from the hood and only because of bad owners. Pitbulls aren’t bred for human aggression.
What a load of bullshit. Other dogs attack kids. And those Pitbulls aren’t even Pitbulls, but have been misidentified as one. Of course pit haters just love to believe in that crap. They aren’t nanny dogs, but they aren’t and don’t love to attack. They have to be train. They aren’t bred to be aggressive towards humans. Pitbulls weren’t seen as monsters back then. If you said that in the 30s, you would be call crazy. Huskies were seen as monsters. Stfu and do some research instead believing what both sides have to say and what the media said. Look the danger of the pitbull propaganda of men and mongrel. The a shitty person would say shitbull. Shitbull? More like pitbull shit haters. You guys are just shit and vile people. Other dogs can maul and kill. Ban Pitbulls? Good idea. That way idiots can replace them and there can be a new dangerous breed. In some parts of Canada they have more huskies attacks because they are so popular. Maybe pit attacks are high because they are popular. How about muzzle for high breeds and making sure only the right hands get them by having a background check and license. They should educate themselves, learn how to read dogs body language and warning signs, train their dog, have strong deep fence and spay and neuter their dog. There are so many alt to banning. Idiots will just replace them with another breed and that breed becomes the danger one. Pits weren’t seen as monsters until the 21st century.
And that picture you have. Is a American bully breed. This what a pit looks like https://www.pinterest.com/pin/235242780509262785/ the one on the right is a pitbull. This proves that some breeds are mistaken for Pitbulls. Even boxers. Don’t believe me? Look up breeds that are misidentified as Pitbulls. Also look up breeds that are more powerful then Pitbulls. Which means they can do worse.
After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +15068001647
you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
Cannot agree more, I think we should put down all pit bull breeds!
Just go look at all the deaths from dog bites every year. With that guy's facts of how much fewer pits there are then other breeds makes it even worse for their rap. If you have kids you are definitely a fucking idiot if you have a pit the same house. I know if you are a pitbull fanboy/girl you won't click on this link. But if you give a shit about your loved ones that will be around your killer dog then you should.
https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities-2020.php
The problem with your statistics are that any dog the even looks like a pit bull gets labeled as one!!! I'm sure 50% of the attacks u speak of are pit mixes...and whos to say the other side of the DNA isn't the issue..you wanna come on here and call people uneducated and ignorant yet you haven't properly don't your research!!! You really should've done alot more!!! While there are bad dogs if all breeds and bad bloodlines that shouldn't be continued the mojaority of pit bull owners are responsible hard working people!!! Pit bulls are not inherently bred to be human agressive!!!! And when the breed was being developed the human aggressive dogs were culled!!! Unfortunately all everyone cares about is money so they sell these dogs to anyone!!! They are different they need structure!!! There's many many dangerous dog breeds out here..cane corsos bandogges akitas chows sharpei...etc etc...but pit bulls are more popular therefore have higher statistics!!!! I just can't believe you are so close minded as to not do both sides of the spectrum!!!! Shame on you
Thats bullshit and false info
Pit bulls should weigh no more then 40lbs..gtfoh
ALL DOGS SHOULD BE BANNED??? You win the stupidest comment on this blog!!!
Just a bunch of liberal pissies!!!!
Racism is the first thing that came to my mind !! But reading the comments its confirmed my instinct was correct
They need to know our boundaries. It's not normal for a pet to attack so viciously, regardless of breed.
Thanks for the information.good fighting dogs
It’s not like you’ll get much money if you have to sue someone whose pit bull harms you. Most of them look like they don’t have a pot to p**s in or a window to throw it out of. I live in New Orleans where that damn rescue place is located. Those are the kind of people that my mother would not expect me to hang around. Don’t even get me started on tattoos, especially on women. Ever see a woman walk up the aisle with an exposed tattoo? Break out the beer, hot dogs and potato salad.
American Bully? WTF? AKC doesn’t even recognize that. Can’t wait for its debut at Westminster. Talk about being sold a pig in a poke.
Makes me think of poolside bimbos and trashy bottle service in Vega$ when I think of pit bulls. The best part is when the hotel is asked to “pick up” the American Express. America has gone to the dogs, both literally and figuratively.
For years, I've noticed a particular vocal style with pit bull owners. They all sound like they left school at 8 and their only skills amount to breaking objects and people. They will typically defend their dog after its torn someone's leg off with "Awwww Maaaate. My pit bully...he wooondt hurt a fly mate Ay! He's juusss a big poooosy cat maaaaate. Naaah mate....my pit bully well 'e cooonda dun that mate 'couse heees a real good doggy Ay mate."
👍 agree
You sure triggered a lot of trailer trash pit owners who have achieved nothing in life other than “rescuing” a pit. Cry harder bitches.
Roosevelt's dog attacked multiple people and he ended up shooting it in the face
I love how non science people use anecdotal evidence to prove as facts. All pit bulls should be euthanized and the breed should be illegal.
I'm a WOMAN who owns a blue nose female American Pit and ALL of you with the attitude issues (or the confrontational issues) need to leave well enough alone bc you HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
Have you EVER owned a dog? Of ANY kind? ALL dogs are only as good as their owners and the love and training that they receive and I can tell that you people calling us names, and telling us how "irresponsible" we are SHOULDN'T OWN A DOG, period, bc you don't have the loving mindset to RESPONSIBLY care for a dog (hell, you don't have the responsible mindset to have a CHILD for that matter).
I rescued my pit when she was just 6 weeks old from a drug dealer's house. And I'll admit, I also had the idea in my head that Pitbull's were 'inherently' bad dogs. So I spent MONTHS with her, one on one, cordoned off in the kitchen. Just me and Sophie. I potty trained her, taught her to sit/stay, taught her some hand commands, and even taught her how to ring a bell attached to the door knob to ask to go out! THE SMARTEST DOG I'VE EVER HAD. Most dogs grow a 'knowledge bump' on the top of their head as they age. (That's what they call it and I have no idea if it actually relates to 'knowledge' acquisition, lol). Sophie was BORN with that bump on her head and I'm beginning to wonder if it DOES relate bc she's SO smart it's scary.
ALL dog breeds need socialization training and that includes exposure to strangers. So I take all of my dogs to Tractor Supply right away and wheel them around in the cart, to expose them to scary situations AND people. This ALWAYS works well. Now, Sophie gets SO psyched to go with me to the stores (esp. a local one called Walls) that she cries and whines with excitement as we enter the parking lot! I took her into Hobby Lobby a month ago and she did WONDERFULLY! Kids petted her and loved on her as did adults. And she never barked (except to get my attention) and was NEVER aggressive towards ANYONE. Needless to say my intensive training worked out well.
AND my attitude changed completely about these wonderfully affectionate and fiercely loyal dogs! She sleeps in our bed, on occasion, and has a human-like disposition. If she wants a cookie, she sits by the panty door, whines, and stomps her feet (like a kid having a tantrum). She brings me her toys when she wants to play. And I can sing her to sleep with a little song I came up with when she was a pup (I put her out like a light with it just tonight).
DON'T JUDGE THE DOG FROM A BAD EXPERIENCE THAT YOOU MIGHT HAVE HAD!!
Judge the OWNER.
And I can give you all sorts of "scientific proof" and evidence about my comment from above PLUS I'M NOT "TRAILER TRASH".
If your insulting comments are ALL of the 'proof' that you have about American Pitbulls then YOU are just as 'guilty' as those who you accuse of having 'no evidence'.
I find you ALL to be incredibly stupid, your comments insipid, and your IQ's are in the toilet.
Get a life?
For those saying pitbulls only attack if they are poorly trained:. Go see what most every owner of pitbulls say when their own dog lethally attacks another person or animal. "It never gave a clue it would do this!!". Are we all to believe that every owner of every pitbull that killed another animal or human was "poorly trained"? How is it that so many pitbulls are poorly trained then?? Nah, the article is 100 percent correct. People who own these types of dogs are idiots and the comments here prove it 500 percent. Jmho.
If you read the comments here defending the breed you really get a sense of the ignorance and selfishness on full display. Oh well. There will always be dumb people whose behavior puts others at risk. And they've always been the dim bulbs of society. Article is SPOT ON. On the flip side : At least seeing someone with a pitbull informs us quite readily exactly WHO the dim bulbs are. Like a beacon in the night..
Does a car open the door, toss out the driver, and take off on its own to go run over someone?? Can a car be "poorly trained"?? Your comment actually might be the most ignorant comparison on the internet. No surprise.
"I'm educated...". Cute
They explained the reasons. To publicly proclaim that you have reading comprehension problems is sorta the definition of 'idiot', yes?
Thank you
To "Anonymous" (too spineless to even post a nom de plume) -
1. "Educated" - Yes. I have a Bachelor's in Natural Resource Mgt (Wildlife Biology)
2. Ever THINK that you're drinking the media's Kool-Aid?? They don't show happy Pitbull stories, only bad ones. Plus, AMERICAN Pits are NOT the same as Staffordshires and THAT'S the breed that can be super aggressive. So no, you DON'T know what you're talking about
3. A car and an animal are not the same thing and that's about the dumbest analogy I've EVER heard in my life. Congrats on that. Are you a left-wing lib nutjob? BC THA's EXACTLY how lefties try to rationalize everything, with a scenario that's irrelevant
4. "Reading comprehension problem"?? LMAO. OK. First, I didn't read EVERY comment bc they're not worth reading. The only thing that I see is a lot of name calling and insults. I don't waste my time with that sort of thing. If ANYONE on your side of the fence wants to have a reasonable, logical CPONVERSATION on the topic, I'm all for it. But, I'm not holding my breath for that.
4. Have a lovely Christmas. Maybe someone will give you a sweet American Pitbull puppy bc you DEFINATELY need a friend.
Yesterday I went to a customer’s house. She greeted us on her front porch with her pitbull. I have been around many big dogs in customer’s homes and I also own two large 120 pound livestock guardian dogs (I have no fear of large dog breeds)
We are always weary of dogs and make sure they’re put up but she INSISTED that her dog is the sweetest dog in the world and “would never hurt a fly.”
I go to pet the dog and before I even got my hand close enough to let it smell me, it gripped down on my hand and finger shaking it back and forth trying to rip my damn hand off. My coworker picked the dog up by it’s neck and slammed it on the ground so it would finally let go. Now my hand is covered in puncture wounds, cuts, and certainly feels fractured in multiple areas. The best part of all is she finally gets the dog back inside and runs back out crying and yelling “HE DOESNT BITE! He’s never bitten anyone!” …idiot. Sounds an awful lot like the posts I’m reading in here from pit bull owners.
Just to put the icing on the cake, my brother owned a pitbull like an idiot. It had never bit anyone or anything until the one day it jumped the fence and killed a ladies schnauzer walking by right in front of her. On top of that, when I was in the urgent care the nurse practitioner taking care of me said four months ago she had to put her pitbull down because it killed another dog. These dogs are aggressive, vicious, and unpredictable. If you think otherwise you are an idiot and should not own one. Your blatant refusal to acknowledge breed characteristics, lack of knowledge on how to handle and train these dogs, and incessant need for validation that your pit bull is the sweetest one there is, is why they get a bad rap.
Wow, aren't you the pot calling the kettle black. True, not everyone should own a pittie, but that is their choice, not yours. Any breed can attack; they are animals. If bred for aggression, they can be dangerous, but they can also be managed by a person who is familiar with the breed versus some idiot who wants to look tough by owning a pittie and treating it like a tool rather than a companion. The reason there is more DOCUMENTED attacks by pitties is that no one goes to the hospital for a Chihuahua or Golden Retriever bite (who both have also been proven to have more aggression than pits). I feel, as a pittie owner, that licenses, training, and classes to help both the owner and pittie, would be useful to manage the breed better. I've been training and showing misunderstood breeds since I was 4 years old (Chows, Boerbels, Dogo Argentino and more, that this breed can be properly managed
This comment is for the individual who made the comment about training pitties and other dogs. I need some advice about my pittie's behavior in our pack What would be a good way to contact you, safely? Please let me know bc I need some advice from someone with your experience.
Thanks!
I have a Border Collie, and it's the best companion i can ever find around me.
Your dogs are only sweet until they suddenly decide to attack… with no warning.
I think there's three categories of pit bull owners.
1. Pit hags (male or female) who own them knowing exactly what they are, don't care if their dogs get out/hurt others/kill the local cats/maul dogs/horses/children, etc.
They will keep a "reactive" dog on hand in their home around their children/babies/elderly relatives, etc. They will also be "reactive" if you say anything about their precious little hippo doggo being dangerous or vicious or imply that after an attack, the dog should be put to sleep. They will blame you if you get hurt by their pit saying you caused it.
When another owner's pit mauls someone or kills someone, they will swear up and down that the pit wasn't raised right because pits are naturally nanny dogs and have to be abused to become vicious. They may also abuse their own pits.
2. The Naive ones... The ones who won Russian Roulette so far. These are rather naive people who have not seen the land shark side of pits yet.
Maybe they owned relatively docile pits with decent breeding who never showed aggression. Maybe they were never around, or were never the victim of a mauling or never knew anyone that was mauled. They think the anti-pit crowd just hates dogs and are fearful/hateful for no reason. They see positive media portrayals of pit bulls, have so far owned relatively docile pits, or if they have seen a pit bull acting badly toward them or others, they assume that it must be from abuse in the dog's background. If their own hand-raised animal starts acting up, they will be confused and ask what they did wrong to cause it.
They will resist very much the idea that there is something genetically wrong with pits as a breed and will dismiss news stories of mauling as dogs that weren't raised right. These may evolve into pit hags or evolve into sane people who will never own a pit again.
3. The real Idiots. These people do zero research about pits and get one naively or buy them because they know they're vicious.
They own them because they look tough. They may keep them on chains or beat the crap out of their dogs. They might fight their dogs, etc. They let the dogs breed out of control. They let them run loose in the neighborhoods and blame victims for any bites or maulings.
They repeat the pit propaganda lines but may or may not actually believe them. They may even say their dog is not a pit bull, but a Staffordshire terrier or American Bully dog, and call other people stupid for calling it a pit bull. They don't believe their precious Steele, Bane, or Brutus would ever turn on them, until the pit does.
BS. How do you raise genetics out of a dog? Other dogs have bad owners too, but you don't see those dogs ripping infants in half and scalping children and killing grown adults.
I’m going to have to disagree with your comment about people who own pit bulls being stupid.
I got suckered into adopting this pit bull dog. I felt bad for it. He was in an abandoned trailer basically starving to death. I’m not a stupid person because of the dog I choose to own. If it does anything like attack another human being, I will not hesitate to cut its throat. I really don’t even like the dog to tell you the truth. As a matter of fact, if anyone wants him on this forum he’s free.
The thing I don’t understand is people who actively seek out pit bulls as pets. What I will say about this animal is it’s extremely retarded. I constantly have to tell this dog the same thing at least 3 times in a 5 minute time span because it’s so fucking stupid. It doesn’t remember anything I tell it. The dog is mentally unstable. It has separation anxiety and I had to get it a cage. Sometimes it just stares at me for no reason at all for a really long time. Like he’ll be standing outside my bedroom door, I’ll take a nap, wake up, and he’ll still be standing there. He’s a complete idiot dog. He’s also been bred with Dalmatian so he’s extra retarded. This motherfucker doesn’t have a chance.
Anyways, I did the right thing. I helped a dog in need even though I don’t like the animal I helped. It’ll be the last time I ever own a pit bull and his days are numbered.
In this situation, it’s not the dog who is the threat.
Chihuahuas dont murder people skippy! Check the news TODAY! 10 pitbull mauling deaths nationally since Friday son...
It wouldn't be a problem if these hideous mutant dogs only attacked the retards that own them and their immediate family. Problem is as inbred and unintelligent as this breed is its owners are even dumber and cannot seem to be able to keep them contained. Loose pits never leave my property alive if I'm the one home when they decide to pay a visit. I don't care how much they wiggle their butts and "smile" They are not to be trusted and get blasted regardless of their behavior. Fighting breeds were created to not display warning signs before an attack
You can’t even spell the plural of puppy and are calling someone uneducated you fucking imbecile? You are a cancer of this Earth. See how fitting this article is? Pitbull owner/defender = dumb as a brick. Please kill yourself. Thank you.
The number of countries that have bans on pitbulls is wonderful, we need to get American to ban the dangerous animals.
Also Judge Judy rids Pitbull lovers a new one.

You sure are!
oh what an awesome story she is beautiful I also have two very spoiled pitbulls one is also a rescue I'm so glad there r people out there like u two who love this breed as much as I do
I agree with the article. All of you going against it are probably the best redneck, pitbull owners trying to flex.
The stats don't lie. Pitbulls kill and maim much more than other breeds. It's a fact. It's in their DNA. How much the dog is loved and trained cannot touch what is in the DNA. I know a lady who was murdered by her brother's pit while brother went grocery shopping and she stayed at his home. The pit tore out her throat. This was an otherwise nice home which treated the dog well. Please do the right thing and put your pit to sleep.
First off, your interests (Coffee, Video Games, Complaining, and Poker) say pretty much everything about you. Anyone who puts "complaining" as an area of interest is a lost miserable soul.
Instead of such hatred that obviously consumes you, just have a look into "history". Do you have any idea about some of the canine war heroes that are pitbull terriers?
Sergeant Stubby is just one of many examples of this breed's intelligence, loyalty, bravery, and compassion.
On a fateful day in 1917, a stray pit bull mix wandered onto the Yale University campus while members of the 102nd Infantry Regiment were training. This lost pup fit right in, participating in drills and even learning to salute with his right paw
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIt was there that Stubby was exposed to mustard gas. After he recovered, he returned to the frontlines with his own specially designed gas mask. This exposure, combined with a dog’s heightened sense of smell, allowed him to warn the 102nd of imminent poison gas attacks. He also learned how to locate wounded soldiers during patrols. This brave mascot earned the rank of sergeant after he spotted a German spy and attacked the bewildered man until reinforcements arrived. In his 18 months of service, Stubby participated in 17 battles, survived a series of wounds, and provided a much-needed morale boost to his fellow soldiers.
Please do yourself a favor, and go get educated...You literally disgust me. You'd probably hate me as well, I'm white, Jewish, and am a Pitbull advocate.
Only pussies are afraid of pitbulls.
Yes, keep moving that goalpost further!
RN's do not have a reputation for being particularly smart, and it definitely shows in the way you type. Have you ever taken a verbal IQ test?
You type like you're mentally retarded.
LOL, of course you're black.
Ever heard of punctuation, numbnuts?
You're*
