Pitbulls
 

http://i.imgur.com/2ITHTaQ.jpg

Vicious satan spawn designed through hundreds of years of selective breeding to only maim and kill, protected and owned by trailer trash of all kinds because apparently they are "cute" "loving" and "would never bite", this "its the owners fault" bullshit is one of the worst lies since the holocaust and these things need to be exterminated.

Anyone who disagrees is almost definitely welfare abusing trailer trash.

You call that dog, you are lunatic. It's fucking beast

Pitbulls are illegal here, with good reason.

And how about Rottweilers should they be exterminated too?

I've never been bitten by a Pitbull but a Rotty yes. And believe me that mouth full of teeth coming at you doesn't look any less viscous.

depends on the dog ... i have been around 3 or so and all of them are nice and such... I think it has to do with the owners and the way they raise em?

just my exper

My aunt had a rescue one and it was lovely. Incredibly loyal...

The reason being, Australians are idiots. :1orglaugh

Well, your a real good thinker, you will fit right in here.

That's not fair. They aren't ALL idiots.

They are all drunks however.

I don't understand the need for pitbulls.

All pitbull owners I know are the same - they lock their dock up in a side yard and rarely take them out. It's sad.

I had run ins with 3 pits in a matter of a month a couple of years ago and I swear if one more person told me that it wasn't the dog, it was the owner, I was going to come unglued - WHAT is a good time to stop the dog and ask him if he is friendly or wants to tear me and mine apart?

1) The biggest I have still to this day ever seen in my life was running at full speed towards my 6 month old German Shepherd who was tied up for some time outside - not long, just to get some fresh air - we heard her going nuts, I went outside to see and get her and bring her back in and seen this pit coming right for us - she and I somehow managed to not get bitten but my husband ran to get a gun to SCARE her off so we could make it safely back inside - shot around her, nothing, again, nothing and the third time and nothing, shot her in the hip - didn't phase her a little bit, got her in the side, NOTHING still - but that time she turned towards him and came after him - THAT shot shut her down and sent her back down the road.

2) Opened my front door and a different pit comes walking into my house and planted his ass right beside my chair - we knew this one and he'd been abused to the point he was unstable on a good day, so how in the hell were we to get him out - that was scary!!

3) Another neighbor's pit got loose from her chain where she'd been tied up for days at a time with no food, water or shelter and had had her removed more than a few times - she got loose and came after my neighbor's little dog and then my mini horses - that was another call made to have her picked up

While I get it is a lot to do with how they are raised and trained, but in my entire life I have come to near attack situations with 3 dogs and all of them were from pitbulls - so no, I am not a fan and I do NOT wish to be near a dog I need to find out their background to make sure they are safe to even breathe in their direction much less move.

ANN this did was make my body seriously jump and run anytime they are anywhere near me - we go into a pet store where pets are allowed, and if a pit is in there, I've damn near taken out entire store isles trying to put distance between me and them and this is INvoluntary - I cannot control it. I hate it, but it is what it is and it's only pits.

Anyone who thinks there isn't a pitbull problem needs to visit their local animal shelter. More than 50% will be pitbulls. Poor un-adoptable former members of a family that gave them away.

You look at these poor sad dogs and have no idea what their background is and what to expect from them should you take a chance and adopt one.

Most will be there until they are killed. Pathetic.


.

Yeah, its quite sad here too

Smart and civilized.

Same can be said about humans

The fucked up negative and tense energy that morons give off around pit bulls and other dogs just makes it that much more likely that the dog will bite someone.

inb4 it's the owner not the breed
inb4 media conspiracy against pit bulls
inb4 punish the deed not the breed
inb4 I was mauled by a Chihuahua

Well, that's because most people know if a pit bull attacks you, your ass is getting mauled.

Just like women can smell fear and desperation on a man from a mile away and instantly say "no" to him before he ever opens his mouth to talk to her a dog can sense fear and stress and a person who would have been perfectly fine just walking but calmly and assertively ends up getting bitten because the dog reacts.

for sure :thumbsup

I have a pitbull, he is the old guy in the house now. Moves kinda slow and always wants to be on a lap. Before we got him (a friend was a breeder) we checked his pedigree and asked a lot of questions. I really believed that all pitbulls were ticking time bombs that would kill any other dog they came across and would turn on their owners if they felt like it. So I was hesitant to say the least.

I had two other dogs, a chocolate lab and a boxer. The lab immediately made sure the pit knew who was the alpha male and the boxer jump all over and played with the new puppy constantly...to the point of being really annoying. The end result is a dog that is one of the gentlest and sweetest dogs I have ever seen. Case in point, one day there was a chow loose in our neighborhood, we had never seen this dog before and it would just appear. Every time the lab saw this thing he would lose his mind and really looked like he wanted to rip the chow apart. Sarge (the pit) strolled up to the chow, sniffed all around wagging his tail and wanted to play.... freaked the chow out and he ran off.

We've had him for 9 years, the lab passed away and I got another boxer. If you know the breed you know that they are crazy playful...like ALL THE TIME and this puppy plays with the pitbull constantly...note, she plays with him, he endures it. Plenty of times I have had to stop her because I feel bad for Sarge but he has never even flinched at her playfulness even though he has gotten loud with her.

are all pitbulls like Sarge? Clearly not. But I am a firm believer that with the right temperament + the right environment they make incredibly loyal and loving additions to a family. (p.s. I do not live in a trailer park but an actual house in the country)

Rottweilers have been selectively bred for non aggression other than for working purposes for a few hundred years. Pitbulls have been bread for aggression and specifically fighting for about half that with zero attempts at creating a responsible breeding practice. You guys are right, it is the owners.. the same owners who breed these things to be meaner and tougher are the reason people get mauled, are the reason people have to give them up and they are destroyed in shelters and will remain that way until they become responsible.

Your argument is out the window.. if some random dog bites you they should be put down too.

the thing with pitbulls are they were bred for fighting...other dogs. I have never been to a dog fighting event, would never go to a dog fighting event and feel that anyone that would should face serious criminal penalties (not that they should be put down but some serious jail time and fines..think Michael Vick) But because they were bred to fight other dogs they were specifically bred to NOT be aggressive towards people. A dog that attacks everything isn't going to do well in the fighting arena. The problem, as far as my understanding goes, is when people cross breed pure blood pitbulls with other breeds. The results can be unpredictable and you end up with a dog completely void of boundaries that feels like biting is the solution to everything.

I think there are a fair number of people who own pitbulls because they think of themselves as bad asses and want a dog that is a bad ass too. Stupid ignorant fuckstain that encourage their dogs aggressive behavior

My friend got attacked by two pit bulls and they ripped his balls open. No lie!

Correct. The same for German Shepherds(minus a couple hundred years) and Dobermans. The other 2 breeds that are most commonly used worldwide as estate and personal protection.

A "mean" pit will just eat your shit for no good reason other than they want to. My two German Shepherds(and mostly all of them I've been around, which includes a couple national and world placers every Sunday morning(ScH)) will lick you and play with you, but if I turn them on, you're done. The neighbor kids come over and play fetch with them often, the mail lady HAS to play fetch with my male every day or she gets barked at(he's a drama queen), etc. I couldn't "turn them on" to these people, as they know they're not a threat.

Some crack addict walking down the street at 2 in the morning near our fence / yard, though.... I don't need to turn them on then, either. They're already on.


I've been around / seen a lot of pits in my life since I grew up in Whitetrashville, USA. I can say there are only 3 I've spent time around that I'd consider a good family dog. Personally, I'd rather have a breed that I can trust no questions asked around my 6 year old niece - trust that the dogs will play with her and be calm with her, and eat anyone who has any other intentions with her.

I am so glad to see this, we've had Boxers - a few of them actually and the latest one just passed away of old age a couple of years ago - he lived to be 13+ - I now have a massive German Shepherd that has a European GS Dad and she is huge, bigger than most Shepherd Males, at 6 months when she and I were put in the line of danger from a pit that just showed up in my yard, she was already bigger than the pit but not as "seasoned" she I wasn't sure how she'd fair with that dog had she gotten near my Kasey.

And I am fully aware that just about ANY dog could be as vicious as that (or any pit) but it just so happens that the only run ins I have had in my 50 years on this earth have all been with pits and all of them came out of nowhere at me - and there wasn't really time to stop them to check credentials to see if they wanted to play or eat my face off - so my instinct is always to bolt from ALL of them now.

My entire body just takes off and goes into a panic in a complete and utter involuntary move - and I sometimes don't even know why until I am moving.

Boxers are just badass - mine have all been uber protective of me and mine - but they are forever babies in their heads - once they figure you mean no harm, you are ravaged with hugs and kisses... they are just badass dogs but equally as intimidating if you don't know them. lol

You know, the real problem is that they just look scary and everyone who wants a effective guard dog in that case is going to go after one. Not to mention, 99% of breeders are drug dealers or women with issues and no one seems to take real good care of there dogs, not that there abused, just ignored. The breed will get banned and its going to be history's fault and we are way pass going back.

I love the breed, I find them miles ahead of any other dog type in the ways of affection and loyalty, hands down. I own two my self and had 3 at one time, I find the boys to be a lot less aggressive if socialized compared to the females. They all seem to have dog issues.

A lot of pitbull owners treet them like there kids, so in there mind that dog can do no harm, even if it does, most people are dumb in seeing the dogs state of mind.

My son had a female Staffordshire and she was so aggressive that even he was terrified of her - and he got her as a pup and worked with her, spoiled her and so on, but she was a terrible dog - she was sweet when we picked her up, but once she was away from her family, it got nightmarish.

He has a male now and he's the sweetest thing and had I not been so terrorized by the 3 I was in such a short time, I probably would love him - and part of me does, but everytime he comes anywhere near me, I just bolt - but his dog is good - and my son doesn't teach him to be like most do - but he is still a pit and my body still reacts very bad! But you are so right, it largely depends on how they are raised - but they are definitely (from what I have seen) need a "boss", someone that will keep them in line - and socializing them is a must -

I wish I wasn't so terrified of them - I don't think it's so much the breed, but like I said, stopping to get credentials isn't an option for me anymore... sadly!

I've been around rottweilers all my life and other than 2 which were trained security dogs, I've never saw one of them act aggressively or heard of them biting people. I would actually love to own a Rottweiler one day, they are beautiful dogs.

Beautiful story with your pit! Glad to hear it :thumbsup

Definitely, those animals are not dogs... They are simply beasts and they should be treated like that... :)

one of my favourite breeds, after labs

Besides their unstoppable killing machine attribute.. those things are so... butt... ugly! Gods why would anyone want that thing anywhere near them.

:error

Bingo, my pit is the same way. When he was a puppy he got a little close to my grandparents dog who had just had puppies and she bit him... Actually left a scar on his face to this day (he's 5 now), along with that he is in a loving home and treated with respect.

He now spends his day either outside playing in the yard with the cats, or in the barn playing with his friend, our 2 year old horse.

When the children are over, he's on the floor laying to keep cool, and the 2 year old comes up and pulls on his ears, beats on him, whatever. His reaction? "oh kid! kisses time!" and floods the child with licks on the face. If he ever gets annoyed, he doesn't growl. He doesn't bite, nip or even attack. He calmly gets up and moves to another area of the room in hopes the child leaves him alone.

We used to have a shelter dog, half rott half sheppard, same age too, she and him would be together all the time one day, she just started to get angry, like attacking him for no reason other than him laying on the couch. She really ripped into him many times. He's got scars to this day (a year later) showing how bad she ripped into him. Many times almost killing him if we never intervened. His reaction? He NEVER bit her, just growled and pushed her away from him just enough for him to get free.

Just like you, not all Pits are like mine, but ya know what? I My Pit is the greatest dog I've ever seen, and to this day when I go back home, I stop and see him (he's at my parents) and just lay on the floor cuddling and getting attacked with kisses because he misses me so much and is excited to see me. I wouldn't trade him for the world.

In my town if the pit isn't a part of a case of some kind they are immediately put down.

hey, I studied cynology and it IS mostly about owners and way that dogs were trained, its not like all of them are evil satan bitches... of course if you are asshole and you treat them in bad way they will be assholes too...

Part of the problem could be solved by making dog breeding a licensed activity. One thing I know about Pit owners (from any I've known or encountered) is that they feel the need to breed their precious dog to spawn more dogs who will undoubtedly end up being raised by another human who shouldn't own a dog.

The breeding license should be hard to get, and would cover any breed. It would help prune the amount of dogs killed in shelters overall, and weed out the real breeders from the idiots....and create less aggressive Pit Bulls, because a GOOD breeder checks out who he's selling his puppies to. A pit bull is ok as long as he's raised correctly.

The key is the right temperament but that is a combination of genetics and how they are raised. Some Pitbulls just like to fight. They love it and thrive on it. For some it runs so deep in their DNA and there is nothing an owner can do to train it out of them. They were bred to be aggressive, strong and show no fear. Are all pitbulls dangerous? Of course not. But many are. I have seen even ones with the best owners snap.

Pitbulls are sweet animals just as they all are. If well taken care of.

Usually the viciouis ones are abused, sad to say. And usually in those cases the owners are abusive. People are the vicious cunt fucks. We are the ones that "breed" animals for our personal accessory. We are the ones that have the knowledge about these animals before we "buy" them and "own" them.

My buddy adopted a pitbull from the SPCA, best dog I've ever had a chance to play with.

The funniest argument from pit apologists: Poodles bite people too.

pitbulls are shitstains of dogs and should not be allowed to breed and should certainly be against the law to own or have in public settings.
