You blame the mom, not the dog! |

No at this point I blame the people who deny reality about these wretched hell beasts. These are loaded gun, safety off, hair trigger dogs who should not exist as a breed anywhere. The mildest, raised from a puppy in a safe loving home pit bull can just go off, no warning, and they do. Because that’s what they were bred to do. Kill. And it’s not like you can rely on the owners to do the right thing in terms of putting down a dog with a bite history, oh no. Then it’s time to spend thousands on trainers in a futile attempt to take the retriever out of the golden, as it were. We also can’t rely on the owners to pony up for medical bills. We can’t even expect them to have control of their dogs or keep the dogs in their home. One somehow always gets out. So if you’re a pit bull apologist, you bear responsibility for these pit bull victims. I’m going to keep updating this thread with every American fatality - if I tried to post every fatal pit bull mauling around the world, I’d be posting way more. Society is beginning to realize that these dogs aren’t misunderstood, they’re truly awful dogs. |

+1 million. Keep the thread going. It will hopefully change some minds or at least help people understand the enormity of this problem |

Victim was the father of one of the homeowners. Imagine being such garbage that you call your dad to take care of your beast dogs that someone else wouldn’t even watch for pay. Obviously if the dog sitter felt too scared to go in, those dogs must have been acting aggressive. Then the piece of crap owner sends their dad to a death sentence. Hope it was worth it to own some sweet little pibbles. Bet the dog sitter is glad they trusted their gut. |

You're trash!  Are you the pit owner whose shitbeast disembowled my Lab pup and took off like it was a normal day? You're terrible people with terrible dogs. Keep laughing, I guess.

Agree. The owners are often the worst and totally delusional about what they're dealing with. Full blinders on at all times. As much as I dislike Pits, I actually hate their owners more. I've never met a Kangal/Akita/Malinois/Cane Corso,etc. owner who is in such denial of breed traits they bring them into their homes and "train" (I use that term loosely because they are often totally out of control) them at the level someone might train, idk a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. It's ridiculous. They're what I call "zero mistake dogs." You can be just sort of ok with a Golden or a Lab or a hound or...whatever. Most will be at least ok-ish. You cannot bring a fighting dog into your home and expect to love the breed traits out. Every time a pit kills a kid? It's literally fulfilling its genetic destiny. |

I've met and been around steady contact with a couple of sweet pitts. So I really hate blasting a whole breed, but I think there are enough statistics to show that this breed really shouldn't be around.
I really don't think rescues should be allowed to go to families with young kids. You rarely know what they've been through and what kind of trauma response they may have. Young kids can be loud and unpredictable and startle the dog. They also may not pick up on the dog's signs of annoyance. There are usually several signs before a dog will bite or even growl. Even though our lab has never shown any aggression, we tend to keep him away from our friend's babies and toddlers. I was bit by a dog when I was 7. I was leaning up against my friend's fence with the back of my bicep over the top. Next door neighbor's dog jumped up and bit me. Dog was quarantined but then ended up biting a police officer a few months later and had to be put down. |

That’s the point though. Some of them are aggressive - “reactive” is the new word pit bull owners want us to use, like an angry dog snarling and lunging on a leash is somehow normal - and some seem pretty chill. Until they’re not. And there’s no way to tell when the chill dog is going to stop being chill. And I don’t think rescues should be handing out these dogs at all. They always get out. Young kids are everywhere. Old people are everywhere. People having medical emergencies aren’t even that uncommon, and these are all groups of people that get mauled by pit bulls. |

Rescues already do this. I've seen plenty of dogs listed and they say "kids have to be above 10 or so" or "no kids, no cats" etc Plus, do you even realize you are talking about five different breeds that make up "pit bull" This doesn't even inclued the mixes. So, you live in a fantasy world if you think you are going to rid the world of pit bulls. |

And then those deranged pit bull owners take those dogs that aren’t supposed to be around kids under ten to children’s parks, you know, to socialize their child mauling weapon. Or to Home Depot for same - certainly no kids at parks or at Home Depot with their parents. And they take them on walks, unmuzzled, with retractable leashes, or off leash, even, because they want to dispel the “myths” about their blood sport pets. These deranged animals - and it’s more than five breeds, Ms. Pit Bull owner - and their equally bad owners should not be in society. Regretfully, every Tom, Dick and Jenny with a pit bull is also irresponsibly breeding their dogs. |

No, I've never had a pit bull or a lab, so it wasn't me. But I also supervise my dogs and keep them safe, so maybe that's why mine haven't been hurt. I hope you don't get another dog. |

Are the pits who are mauling people the type of pits being taken to Home Depot? Are these attacks regularly happening at public playgrounds? Because you lose any credibility with these sort of statements. As problematic as you may think pit and pit owners are, the owners who even know proper socialization is a thing are not the problem and you just continue to sound unhinged when you make these sweeping statements. |

I personally don't like pit bulls and mixes, but I don't believe that we should breed them out. However, I think that they should be restricted to low population areas. I think they should be restricted to rural areas where there are fewer chances for casual accidents. For example, the cases where a dangerous dog gets out of an enclosure, fence, home, they shouldn't be able to reach sidewalks or neighbors easily. I remember reading about places where they ban the breed and mixes from urban and suburban areas and I think that's a good idea. If they are in lower population areas, then most likely the victims will be those who made the conscious choice to own these breeds or the families of people who made that choice. A bit Darwinian if these get loose or they revert to their nature. |
