Pit bulls kill horse

As some of yall know, (I know Tim knows) I was attacked by a rotty as a kid, long story but its still the only breed of dog Ill ever own. Great dogs. My family was on rott rescue list when I was a kid, we rescued a bad one.

This isn't a case of bad breeds, or bad dogs, bad owners make bad dogs, like bad parents make bad kids.

Tim, you should meet Brandi's pits, she breeds them, has a few adults and they are some of the best dogs Ive ever been around.
 
Pits can be good, loving pets... but trusting an unknown dog of any breed, especially in a rescue situation, is a big mistake.

I disagree completely, pits snap, EVEN pits that were raised in good homes. With their power its a very damaging situation when it does happen.

There was another story a couple months ago about a grandmother that had 5 pit bulls in her back yard while she let her 2 year old granddaughter play in the backyard. Shockingly they snapped and almost killed the kid, she was in critical condition last I saw. Can you say DUMB ASS?

Then the story of pits(3 or 4, I forget) getting out of a yard and running down the block together making a b line for a group of kids playing outside their house. All of the pits attacked one of the kids and almost killed her too. What did she do to them? :shaking:

You see these stories alll the time all over the US. I just dont get why people take the CHANCE with a Pit. There are plenty of other great dogs you can own that wont kill your kids or you, or your neighbors kids.
 
Guy at work had two, they got in a fight right on top of him and one tore his right arm up pretty bad, and this was a male and female, brother and sister that grew up together. And hes a nice guy, meaning I'm sure they were raised well. Lets just say he only has one now.

Yes, that woman was stupid.
Yes, most people are too stupid to own pits, they are a breed that requires special training to be socialized.
Do I think pitbulls are a horrible breed that people shouldn't own? Hell no.
Do I wish there was a law barring morons from owning them, Hell yes.

Steve O (My dog who went camping with us at URE) is a pitbull mix, and hes lovable as hell. Never had a problem out of him other than he wants to meet EVERYONE. Granted we keep him on a leash, but Im confident we wouldn't need to, we've had him since he was a pup.

Also, hes a stubborn fatty, and when there is people food around he will refuse to eat his dog food. Lol, wouldn't be a problem if EVERYONE at the campfire wasn't feeding him though lol
 
There is a pit bull at the Watauga humane society right now named Lilly.

Nicest dog ever, sweet, submissive, but still a Pit. Thats why I did not adopt her.

Neighbors across the street have a Rottewieler. Thing was out the other night, about halfway down my drive way, started getting aggressive towards me when I went out to get the groceries out of the Kia in the garage.

Make no mistake, if I see that thing on this property again I will shoot it. I dont trust either of those breeds, and never ever will.
 
Make sure you drop him on your property and he doesn't run home.
 
Killing someones dog never goes well, I would suggest notifying the neibor that the dog got out (if you haven't already) and give them the chance to handle it, if later on you feel unsafe, well thats your choice to do as you wish on your property.
 
I have a few friends with pits and they are some of the best dogs I've been around.

I saw my friends pit get attacked by another dog and the pit stood its ground and wouldn't fight back because the owner yelled, "TITUS STAY! TITUS DOWN!"

This pit which was being bit on the leg, laid down and waited for its owner to run over and knock the other dog off.

Titus the pit could have easily killed that dog but he, THE PIT, was the better animal.

Pits take a special owner, they are not for someone looking to have a cool dog.

If you can't handle a breed don't get that breed.

That's Funny my sister has Pits,and the bigger one is named Titus.They seem like good dogs and I have always had good dealings with them although,to me she has two very small kids in the house with them too.It just seems risky,if for no other reason it's a small house and everyone is liable to get into each other's spaces.
On the flip side of the coin,my neighbors down the street,who live Five familys in a 3 bedroom house,Have pits in a cage out back.Sometimes they get out and I have had two dealings with them.Once when they chased my son riding his bike in my yard and I ran them off.The other time I looked out back and they had gotten into my back yard and were savagely attacking my Terrier.I pulled them off and carried them out of my yard by the scruff's of their necks.Trust me if they could've gotten loose and gotten to me,I believe I would've had my hands full.Their Owner met me at the edge of my yard and although I wasn't screaming at him in his native spanish language,I think he understood what I was telling him.
 
Its kinda like the saying "Guns dont kill people, people kill people" Its not the breed that should be alarming to ppl its the owner regardless of breed that is the real problem! Think about it pits over the years have been the dog to train/breed to fight evolution is gonna take place eventually right? cant blame the dog for the aggression we have instilled into them!!! ive rescued shepards that i couldnt even feed but that same dog would have been my best friend if i had it from a pup... the ower is at fault this isnt an arguement but feel free to flame the hell out of my opinion i like to laugh at some of yalls remarks over shit ya never had dealing with!!!! ;) Btw im not a pit owner i have a lollie!!! ha
 
My son has a 10 month old german shepard/rot mix that chases a neighbors chickens from time to time. He will put him in his truck and bring him home. I told him that if he was aggresive to put him down because thats what I would do. The best dog I have every owned was a boxer/pit mix and the most aggresive was a dalmation. He was great with my kids but flipped out around anyone else.
 
Every time this subject comes up it makes me laugh. I will never understand why some one would have one of these dogs period based on liability issues much less try to raise kids w/ them. I do agree that the way a dog is raised helps to persuede his tendencies but I think no one can take their wild nature out of them. I kinda compare a pit to a lion or tiger when this comes up. I think back to the head line a couple years ago Roy, of 'Siegfried and Roy', attacked by tiger
I would think that tiger lived the high life yet they couldn't take the wild out of him.

What really pisses me off is when I have my kids w/ me and run into someone in a public place w/ a pit and they let and want their dog to come around my kids. I kindly ask them just to keep their dog back and they want to get all pissy. I'm sorry but I don't want to be around them much less my kids.
 
This again....man Shawn its time to close it we officially discussed every topic on the net.

Since we are still on page 1 heading straight for 15 let me see if I can summarize.

Side A
- Pits are the greatest dog ever.
- The breed is perfect and pure they even feed homeless.
- Some owners ae bad and should be killed but never the poor animals.
- Think about the children my pit licks my infant 's face clean after a bb-ba

Side Z
- Pits are a bane to society and everyone should be destroyed
- They serve no purpose but to maim and kill
- Jesus Christ himsel had a pet pit bull and it bit his arm while he fed it.
- Pits are bred to eat babies...they taste like chihuahuas
- They lock their jaws and Moses couldn't part them...
- Pits are of the debil

Realist middle
- There are good and bad in every breed of animal, humans included.
- Due to their breeding and genetic experimentation the breed as a standard is a very strong animal. If they act out (whether it be because they were treated wrong or are satan's minions) they tend to do more damage than a rat terrier.
- If your dog appears to have been trained well I dont mind it being around me, anyone who leavs chilren unattended around unknown animals should expect what they get

^ The gospel. :beer: I've had pit bulls, labs, rotts, basset hounds and many other breeds, the only constant with a dog of any breed is that they shed and they have smelly breath. I've met pits that were mild tempered, and pits that were bat s$!t crazy, same goes for labs and hounds. Mostly has to do with proper training, socialization, and being well bred. There isn't a breed out there that doesn't have the capacity to mangle or kill other animals including humans, having a good pet has little to do with the breed and much more to do with the individual dog and the individual owner. Not all of any breed are bad or good. My .02 anyway....
 
As an owner of 2 Brendal Pits and one Blue I can tell you they are great dogs. One of the brendals bottom teeth are missing because he latched on to a horse as well... But when you get them in packs and they see something run it is animal instinct for them to hunt. That dog was put down, he was just all around aggressive but that was due to the PO. I got the blue pit outta his seed, and he would always try to attack him... The blue pit was great, nonaggressive, loving and it listened!! So its all in the owner, not the dog. They got bad names from the Michael Vicks of the world who dont like to dicipline dogs, just beat em...

Now I have a Rottweiler, and although its bit, intimidating and has a negative association it has been the best dog ever!

That is a very ignorant statement. I work at WHS and she WAS the sweetest dog..would crawl in your lap and lick your face til you got up. Fortunately she did get adopted by a guy from Greensville or something. Do not judge a dog by its breed. Most Pit bulls are quoted as being aggressive because of inbreeding (big F-you to the watauga dogfighters, I have countless stories about them turning pits in because they wouldn't fight or breed) and improper socialization from a young age.
I have a Pit/Lab mix that is not aggressive, her biggest concern is that because Pits were bred as "gladiator" dogs, she usually won't back down if there's a confrontation. It IS the owners' responsibility to know their dog's actions and temperments around people/other animals.
 
Pitbulls are rapists, killer rapists.

DNA Proves Pitbull Sexual Attack Possible
4 years ago

Lockport Police say DNA results show no human involvement in the sexual assault of a two year old boy July 8th.

Jessica Weinstein: "So this proves that it really can happen?"

Chief Neil Merritt, Lockport Police: "I don't think that there's any doubt because there's a number of witnesses, because this occurred inside, then the dog ran out onto the porch."

The mother told Lockport Police that she left her two year old unattended for a short time and after hearing the baby scream, she ran to see what was wrong.

When she got in the room, she told Lockport Police the dog, named "Bear", had sodomized the toddler. The mother screamed, scaring the dog out of the house, but the dog was still attached to the baby.

One neighbor told 2 On Your Side, she heard the mother screaming "The dog is raping my baby." Neighbors ran to help, but only one man was able to get the dog and child apart.

Anastacio Castillo says "I tried to get the dog away from the baby, the dog was already inside the baby." When the baby was finally free, he was visibly sick. Castillo says the boy was vomiting and bleeding.

The baby was rushed to Women and Children's Hospital where the toddler underwent reconstructive surgery. Hospital officials are no longer verifying that he is a patient there.

Lockport Police say they continue to investigate how a pitbull sodomized a toddler. They are looking into calls that the dog may have been trained, but they don't know by whom.

"Some experts are saying that it's not possible for a dog to do that without being trained, and then we have experts that say it's very possible, that it could happen, the dog just being exposed to the scent of a female dog in heat," said Merritt.

The pitbull has been evaluated. According to officials at the Niagara County SPCA, the dog spent 24 hours with an animal behaviorist. Results of the evaluation will be turned over to police.

Since the attack, over 20 people have called the SPCA asking to adopt the pitbull. Chief Merritt says it'll likely be up to a judge to decide what happens to the dog after the investigation is complete.

"I know a court can order a dog destroyed if it's a danger to the public or it's exhibited harmful behavior," he said.

The Niagara County District Attorney's office is assisting Lockport Police with the investigation.

Miranda Workman, behavior specialist at Purrfect Paws in Amherst says, "Most likely this is not a learned behavior. Dogs in tact, not spayed or neutered have a higher hormonal drive."

She urges parents to never, ever leave their children alone with a dog.

This again really ugh!!
A Dog is a Dog, it has teeth it will bite if not taught not too.
No matter the breed or color or size.
If you raise a Child and you do not teach him right from wrong.
The child will do wrong,
It goes for any Domesticated Animal on the plant.
I have owned allot of animals in the past as well as now, Some will bite some will not.
THEY are animals just like humans they make mistakes ..
