Seriously, it seems every story you hear in the news about pitbulls has to do with somebody getting attacked. Usually also mentioned in the story is somebody shot or other illegal activities like drugs.
I'm sure if you search Google hard enough, one or two positive stories can be found about these beasts.
Still, majority wise only poor and/or stupid people own pit bulls.

How about the recent story about the Golden Retreiver, which is supposed to be the best family dog around, mauled and dismembered the family's 2 month old?

Wow just wow. The dogs themselves are not the problem. Owners create them to be mean or want them to have certain traits. I only owned one pit and loved it never had a problem with him. He ran loose the whole time I owned him and he never had any issues with people or other dogs. Owners are the main reason these dogs turn bad IMO.

No doubt you are right. I'm just being a smart ash. Still whenever the news is about some kid being attacked, cops having to shoot a dog, etc.....seems the majority of the time, it involves pit bulls.
Maybe if enough people disagree, I'll be "cool" enough to make a the worst poll. (lol)

This thread is for stupid people. Pitbulls are awesome dogs, it isn't their fault they are often bought by shitty people with shitty intentions.

Maybe right after shooting the dog they should do society a favor and put some lead in their stupid mother fucking owner too? The dog wasn't born mean...it's the slackjawed ratard who trained them to be mean.said_aouita;1166222 wrote:No doubt you are right. I'm just being a smart ash.

Thanks. She's a rescue, been through a lot, but definitely one of the best dogs I have ever owned. I grew up with herding dogs, but I've never been around a dog as loyal as she is.BR1986FB;1166244 wrote:Looks viscious! I'm not going to be able to sleep. :rolleyes:

you can find outliers with other breeds, but the pit bulls and rottweilers are the killers
"[h=2]2010 statistics2[/h]
"[h=2]2010 statistics2[/h]
- 33 U.S. fatal dog attacks occurred in 2010. Despite being regulated in Military Housing areas and over 650 U.S. cities, pit bulls led these attacks accounting for 67% (22). Pit bulls make up approximately 5% of the total U.S. dog population.3
- In 2010, the combination of pit bulls (22) and rottweilers (4) accounted for 79% of all fatal attacks. In the 6-year period from 2005 to 2010, this same combination accounted for 72% (131) of the total recorded deaths (182).
- The combined breakdown between the two breeds is substantial. From 2005 to 2010, pit bulls killed 106 Americans, about one citizen every 21 days, versus rottweilers, which killed 25 Americans, about one citizen every 88 days."http://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities-2010.php

You never leave ANY dog unattended with a baby within reach. Dogs think they are play toys, no matter the breed. Read the link I posted above.isadore;1166342 wrote:yeh there must be alot of baby burglars, pit bulls love to kill them.

It's my right to own a bully breed. Time for Isadore to be his hypocritical self and determine what we have a right to and what we don't, constitution and public opinion be dammed.

Last time I was bit by a dog, it was a giant poodle. I don't think the dog expected me to chase after it. The owner is lucky he got hold of it before I did....
