My neighbors are getting a rescue pit bull

[Anonymous]

I would very seriously consider moving given their fence situation and just the propensity of dogs to get out.

Sure it was.

Um, I was severely bitten by a family member’s sweet dog. I was on the other side of the room when he attacked. Never, ever was I afraid of him.

Unless it happened when you were 18 months old, I wasn't responding to you.

I'll never forget an incident involving pit bulls with a childhood neighbor. The kid's grandmother had several of them and they were, of course, sweet as can be.... until they weren't. She enlisted her 3YO grandson's help in feeding them and they attacked him, causing severe injuries including ripping out his trachea. He survived but obviously has had medical complications to deal with since then.

Pitbull apologists remind me of Tiffany from the old movie Independence Day, standing on top of the skyscraper waiting for the aliens. Just as delusional, just as self-important.

I mean, it's obvious OP just hates these neighbors and is thrilled to have this as an excuse to ostracize them. She definitely isn't heartbroken about finding herself with a difficult choice. She hates them and is thrilled to have this as a legit reason to slam them.

What an idiotic take.

Your reaction is clear evidence that defending pit bulls typically comes from low IQ individuals.

It does suck, I hear you.

I agree with this!

Also make it clear to neighbors that they will need to be abiding by leash laws.

The people on DCUM are completely ignorant on what pit bulls were bred for. In recent years they have been known for fighting but this is ABUSE not their inherent personality. In fact, pit bulls have a better temperament than golden retrievers.

Yes shelters are filled with pit bulls because ignorant people are too damn afraid and would rather throw down 5k for their designer doodles. My 35 pound pit bull is the sweetest animal and is a favorite at the dog park because of how loving she is towards people and dogs. Your neighbors are better off without you OP.

The thing is you never read about those doodles killing the toddlers they live with but you keep telling yourself how sweet those pit bulls are and the toddler did something wrong.

Pit bulls account for the vast majority of dog bite fatalities in the US. I have two close family friends with pit bulls and I love both dogs. So sweet and loving. But their strength is frightening. Also their intensity. It would take seconds for either one to kill a strong adult. That just isn't true with the silly doodles.

Wouldn't you get your own top notch fence before moving?

This three-year old was in his own yard with his mother when the neighbor’s dogs dug under their fence and came and killed him. Tell me how this child provoked the dogs in another yard. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/3-year-old-was-playing-in-yard-for-1st-time-when-he-and-mom-were-attacked-by-neighbors-dog/2952351/
