Another pit bull attack

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.

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.

No, I don’t sound unhinged in the slightest. So let’s review this short strand:
- pit bull advocate says pit bull rescues already don’t put semi dangerous dogs in homes with children
- I reply and said but then they take these dogs out, unmuzzled, around children
- now you say they should be “socializing” these dangerous dogs around children?

And you say I’ve lost credibility and am “unhinged.” No, I believe in observable reality; you deny it. And you’re making insults toward me.

You can’t socialize out breeding. These dogs were bred for blood sport. That’s what they want to do, that’s what makes them happy. It’s their work.

Me again. Since this never happens, of course, I will never be able to find any evidence:
Brooklyn Park, MN Two off leash pit bulls brought to the park by their totally irresponsible crap bag owner bites a toddler. Because the crap bag owner fled the scene, both the mother and toddler had to have rabies treatment, too. https://ccxmedia.org/news/pit-bull-attacks-child-at-brooklyn-center-playground/

Pit bull bites several children on an Oklahoma school playground, then gets into the school:

Pit bull bites several children in a Missouri school playground:

Brooklyn Park, MN again, only this pit bull got shot and killed after it rushed the officers responding to the 911 call for a child being attacked.

Somehow the pit got loose in Detroit and bit a 12 year old girl’s leg. https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2020/09/25/12-year-old-girl-attacked-by-pitbull-in-lincoln-park-neighborhood/

How many kids need to be offered up to the gaping maw of blood sport dogs? Why should the rest of us and our children be offered up on a platter for these breeds to gnaw on in the name of “socializing” them?

Keep it going! You are not unhinged. People who defend this breed and bring them anywhere near children are unhinged.

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.

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.

Sorry but that is a terrible idea. I live in a city and so does my dog. Thank God you do not make the rules. We have every right to live where we want.

You can live where you want, but you shouldn't be able to own a dangerous dog in a highly populated area. There are towns and suburbs around the country which already ban pitbulls and pitbull mixes. I just think that the number of highly populated areas that do this should be expanded.

Crazy dog owners like you are the reason that there are so many pit bull attacks. Irresponsible dog owners who believe that a dog that has been bred for many generations to be aggressive and vicious can be trained to never give into their violent nature are the problem. A pit bull can be gentle and kind for most of its life, but it only takes one situation to trigger their instinctive reactions to cause a mauling or potential killing. They should not be in heavily populated areas.

Why the heck government can't ban having pets like these? Do they have supporters like gun lobby?

The link that was posted above about the recent attack on the 2 year old is significant — the dog had been around the kid multiple times with no issues. The day it attacked, it came running out of the bedroom with no warning to attack the kid in another room. It took three adults stabbing the dog with kitchen knives to finally get the dog to release. That doesn’t happen with other dogs.

I saw another one, a few years ago, where a ring camera captured a kid and her nanny out for a walk with a little dog. A pit jumped a 6 foot fence cross the street and came running like a bat out of hell from nowhere to kill the little dog then attack the girl — it all happened in less than a minute. It looked like something out of a horror movie. That’s the only dog breed that does that kind of non defensive attack.

You can live wherever you want. You just shouldn’t get to decide that those around you have to accept the risk your dog might eat their face off without any notice.

NP here. I‘ve definitely seen people bring their pits (sometimes more than 1) on the local trails, near kids’ parks, to Gravelly Point, etc. It sucks because I have small children and I absolutely am unwilling to risk their safety just so someone can own a dog bred for violence. If they were only mauling their idiot owners, the rest of us wouldn’t care so much. But of course they make the rest of us deal with what they deem an acceptable risk.

Also, you forgot the story about the child mauled walking to their bus stop.

I just posted Helene Jackson’s death by pit bull, but here’s another story, one that happened in February of this year. It wasn’t widely reported at the time or anything, but a family pit bull gnawed off five fingers (from both hands) this February. If you’re a defender of this breed, you should maybe wonder how much of this thing happens and never gets reported at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDix_Qhzyho

The mother in this story looks like she abused drugs so I am guessing that she didn't feed the poor dog. So, the baby and the dog were really neglected but, you are only blaming the dog.

Yes, but if the mother had had a miniature poodle and not fed it, the baby would still be alive. So I think it's fairly logical to blame the dog...

I think it’s best not to engage with someone who doesn’t live in reality with these dogs.

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.

You are hilarious.

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.

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.

I was walking my dog on a leash when a pit across the street jumped the fence to come flying at my dog to shake it to death in seconds. I sincerely hope this never happens to you because it has absolutely nothing to do with your own supervising and it's absolutely traumatizing to witness in a situation where there is very little you can control in the presence of such a dangerous dog.

- now you say they should be “socializing” these dangerous dogs around children?

And you say I’ve lost credibility and am “unhinged.” No, I believe in observable reality; you deny it. And you’re making insults toward me.

You can’t socialize out breeding. These dogs were bred for blood sport. That’s what they want to do, that’s what makes them happy. It’s their work.

Me again. Since this never happens, of course, I will never be able to find any evidence:
Brooklyn Park, MN Two off leash pit bulls brought to the park by their totally irresponsible crap bag owner bites a toddler. Because the crap bag owner fled the scene, both the mother and toddler had to have rabies treatment, too. https://ccxmedia.org/news/pit-bull-attacks-child-at-brooklyn-center-playground/

Pit bull bites several children on an Oklahoma school playground, then gets into the school:

Pit bull bites several children in a Missouri school playground:

Brooklyn Park, MN again, only this pit bull got shot and killed after it rushed the officers responding to the 911 call for a child being attacked.

Somehow the pit got loose in Detroit and bit a 12 year old girl’s leg. https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2020/09/25/12-year-old-girl-attacked-by-pitbull-in-lincoln-park-neighborhood/

How many kids need to be offered up to the gaping maw of blood sport dogs? Why should the rest of us and our children be offered up on a platter for these breeds to gnaw on in the name of “socializing” them?

NP here. I‘ve definitely seen people bring their pits (sometimes more than 1) on the local trails, near kids’ parks, to Gravelly Point, etc. It sucks because I have small children and I absolutely am unwilling to risk their safety just so someone can own a dog bred for violence. If they were only mauling their idiot owners, the rest of us wouldn’t care so much. But of course they make the rest of us deal with what they deem an acceptable risk.

Also, you forgot the story about the child mauled walking to their bus stop.

No one is forcing you to do anything. Seems you are making the right choice for yourself and staying home.

Umm no. People being able to safely leave the house trumps dogs. I hope your garbage pit bulls get hit by a car and die.

Thank you, but I don't have pit bulls. Continue making good choices!
