Hate pit bulls, any pit-bull mix, and any of those other dogs that have a reputation of violence. Like Cane Corsos and like.

And for the poster, who seems intent on defending Pitt Bulls every time it came up in this thread, yes, even one percent pitt is too much for me. I am the poster that wants to eradicate them by attrition. If they are all spayed and neutered, no more pitt bull puppies. a very humane way to get rid of the breed. And one of the reasons that this breed in particular is being called out by me, is because of posters like you that no matter how dangerous they are, they want to share what lovely dogs they are. We don't get the same response from people who are German Shepherd or Doberman enthusiasts. They know that it takes a certain kind of owner to have one of those type of dogs. Pitbull owners are just over the top and think that anybody can own them. And that's why we have the problem we have with that breed. So blame yourself for making people hate the breed.

Hello. First of all, there is ONE t in pit. Second I'm sure in the past when Doberman or German Shepherds were/are being vilified they would strongly defend them. But, remember we didn't have the internet when they were seem as "bad" dogs so you can not compare my defending them.

Remember there are FIVE breeds that make up pit bull dogs. I think they are the only dog breed that has that many and with mixes you have many many more variations.

"Here are the five breeds: American pit bull terriers, Staffordshire terriers, American Bully, Staffordshire bull terriers and Staffordshire bull terriers .

https://www.thesprucepets.com/pitbull-dog-breeds-4843994pit bull" types now and then.

You have your first amendment right to say your opinion on how YOU hate the breeds and wish they weren't here BUT I also have the right to MY opinion and I will defend them. No where did I say that these dogs are for everyone. The same way German Shepherds are not for everyone. But, I am not for banning them or wishing they didn't exist. Remember your history. German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois were used as police dogs to attack Civil Right movement protesters and also by Nazis to attack Jews and other people. They have the right to exist as do "Pit bull' types and the mixes.

Are there dogs that attack and do serious harm to people, children and pets. Yes. But, first if a dog is 33 percent pit and other dogs that are "tough" German Shepherds etc how do you know that it isn't that part that makes them aggressive?

And lastly, poorly trained dogs and abused dogs can not be held responsible for what the humans put them through. If you chain your dog to the back yard, never feeding them or taking care of their physical or emotional needs and then train them to fight you cannot expect them to be animals that know how to live in harmony with the world.

So in the end while I have the ability to see that some animals harm other people etc there are good "pit bulls" who have been heroes. Your denial of this is just as stubborn as me defending them. So, as long as I can type I will say my opinion and defend these dogs.

I don't care if you respond but, you do not have the right to silence me.

the double 't' and its continued use after being corrected multiple times is just emblematic of their overall low threshold of information and critical thought.

Or their spell check auto changes it Regardless of how it us spelled, pit bulls are not appropriate pets. The pit in pit bull is because the dog was bred to fight in a pit. That is a fighting dog. Not a herder or any other type of working breed.
I have to say, based on this thread alone, the owners or enthusiasts match the dog breed.

But neither "Pitt" nor "Pitt Bull" or "Pittbull" are words so that doesn't explain it.

Like I said, low capacity of information and critical thought.

Due to their history, some can be aggressive toward dogs but human aggression was not only something that wasn't selected for, it was a trait that was avoided due to the nature of the "sport".

The fact that you are focused on spelling errors to prove a point about low capacity, thought yet are unable to understand that dog breeds provide people with behaviors they can expect from each dog breed based on the work, they were bred to do. Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, pitbulls were bred to fight. Like a retriever is bred to have a soft mouth and to retrieve game. A terrier is bred to either kill rats, or to go into holes or whatever the particular breed it was bred for. Some toy dogs were bred simply to be lap dogs for the wealthy, great Pyrenees dogs were bred to be independent thinkers and guard livestock, a border collie was bred to herd livestock. And so on so a pitbull is just doing what it was bred to do. And that means it is not a pet. People are buying them as pets since dogfighting is illegal, as it should be. So that breed needs to be completely eradicated. There's no need to have a breed that is not bred for loyalty, not bred to do anything other than to fight, and to win a fight.

And who cares whether it is one T or two Ts? That is such an inconsequential thing to focus on. There's a whole thread in the off-topic section that might interest you where posters are sharing which words they have a difficult time, remembering how to spell.

Whatever the case, you are showing that you are as tenacious as the breed you are enthusiastic about. You are just as unlikable as the dogs you like.

The point wasn't the misspelling it was the persistent failure to spell it correctly when provided the correct information multiple times from multiple people. It seems inconsequential to you but to the rest of us it's just obtuse and defective and devalues anything else they have to proffer.

To wit - you clearly have no clue about the history of the "pitbull" breed yet you go on at length above with made up nonsense. I could give you the real history(or you could research it yourself) but you'd likely be just like the "pitt bull" poster, unwilling or unable to take in this information so you'd continue on in your low information, uninformed state.

Also, most pits are good - it is the owners of some dogs (big and small) that are awful and irresponsible.

So are you saying that pitts have such awful, irresponsible owners that mauling/killing is reasonable "misbehavior" from a dog?

I seriously doubt that these parents were so awful, they trained their pitts to kill their own children

https://people.com/florida-boy-mauled-death-pit-bull-mix-7560578

Or that the grandma trained this dog to kill her grandson?
https://www.fox5dc.com/news/dog-kills-2-year-old-virginia-boy-in-maryland

If I were to be an "awful, irresponsible owner", and decide to stop training my dog for so long she decides to go on a rampage, she's likely to jump on the table and steal food, rummage through the trash, bark for way too long at random people that walk by my house, and chew my kids' toys. No matter how much I ignore her, or let her stop respecting boundaries, or neglect training her, she will not kill or maul people. I would never do that, but if I did she'd be horrible to live with, but she is not a killer. I don't have to train her to not maul people, just like those other owners did not have to train their pitts to kill their children. It is normal for untrained dogs to jump, bark, steal food, chase cars, chew toys, dig holes, etc... It is not normal for untrained dogs to kill/maim people, no matter how awful or irresponsible the owners are.

You'll never get a good faith response to this, though the stats don't lie. You'll get some BS about how a Golden Retriever can and will also rip 3 toddlers to shred and eat their corpses despite this happening...never.

And you won't be honest either. People misread dogs signs all the time. They say " they gave no warning sign" but they don't know them. Children under 10 are the most vulnerable.
Parents let their kids get away with mistreating animals...some dogs are more forgiving than others. But then thats on the owner for not training the kids, not keeping the dog safe. Or chosing the wrong dog.
At our block party two big kids were trying to ride their dog..I told them to stop.

Again, since "pit bull" mixes have alot of breeds what makes you so sure that you can blame the "pit" and not the other working dog breeds for the attack?

I don't care of the owners missed 100s of subtle "signs" from their dogs, you should not have to be a professional animal behaviorist to own a pet. If I missed behavior signals, or even chose to ignore those signals from my dog, she would eventually either retreat to her bed or she would be obnoxious. She'd steal food, she'd get over excited and jump on people, she'd refuse to respond to cues, she might even growl or bite. But she would never (and I 1000% guarantee this) maul or kill a child. She is not gamey, she has inherent bite inhibition, and ultimately she is a domestic pet from a line of domestic pets.

Dogs should also be giving a series of escalating "signals". A domestic pet should not go from lip licking, whale eyes, look aways, and yawns to mauling/killing. There is not a single parent that is telling their child to go snuggle with a growling, air snapping, hackles raised dog, let alone a dog that is biting, making contact with a person's body and releasing. By the time a dog is ready to maul and kill, they should have been giving off multiple "stay away", red zone, obvious behavior signs. We are not talking about a single bite from a stressed dog, we are talking about dogs that literally pull people apart. If pitbulls' danger signals are so subtle that people tend to misread them, and then the mauling/killing is a surprise, then these are not dogs that 99% of people should ever have in the house.

+1 to all of this. Plus, people with dogs, including pits, do not just keep them in their homes. They take them out of the house, they walk them on the street, go to the park, to the dog park, etc. Unless you keep your dog sequestered at home, which almost no one does, you can't guarantee that they will only interact with people and other dogs who are skilled in recognizing that dog's signs and triggers.

There are so many pits and pit mixes in my neighborhood, and sometimes I even see them off leash, and it makes me so angry. I have a small child. She is extremely cautious around dogs but with a dog... you just never know. I was once attacked by a dog at someone else's house because I was in the kitchen washing dishes and the dog walked into the room, didn't recognize me, and attacked me. I didn't do anything to the dog, he was just reaction to "stranger in house." It was terrifying.

Yes, that dog's owner was to blame but trust me, when a dog is coming at you with their teeth, the fact that it's the owner's fault for failing to train, socialize, or restrain their dog properly doesn't matter. You're just scared for your life.

People should not be allowed to keep dogs as pets who are inclined to kill people. Full. Stop.

You seem fragile and that leads you to hysterics and an inability to reliably evaluate risk.

I love the Cane Corso. I couldn't own one (don't have the time to devote to proper training), but my friend has one and he is the most beautiful and well-trained dog I have ever known. He is enormous but identifies as a lap dog. He is so majestic looking, he literally stops traffic when out in public.

You can’t make a cogent argument about what that poster says, so you choose to nitpick on a spelling.
History or not, these are volatile and dangerous dogs. You can keep yapping all you want to the contrary. You’re not convincing me.

If I were to be an "awful, irresponsible owner", and decide to stop training my dog for so long she decides to go on a rampage, she's likely to jump on the table and steal food, rummage through the trash, bark for way too long at random people that walk by my house, and chew my kids' toys. No matter how much I ignore her, or let her stop respecting boundaries, or neglect training her, she will not kill or maul people. I would never do that, but if I did she'd be horrible to live with, but she is not a killer. I don't have to train her to not maul people, just like those other owners did not have to train their pitts to kill their children. It is normal for untrained dogs to jump, bark, steal food, chase cars, chew toys, dig holes, etc... It is not normal for untrained dogs to kill/maim people, no matter how awful or irresponsible the owners are.

You'll never get a good faith response to this, though the stats don't lie. You'll get some BS about how a Golden Retriever can and will also rip 3 toddlers to shred and eat their corpses despite this happening...never.

And you won't be honest either. People misread dogs signs all the time. They say " they gave no warning sign" but they don't know them. Children under 10 are the most vulnerable.
Parents let their kids get away with mistreating animals...some dogs are more forgiving than others. But then thats on the owner for not training the kids, not keeping the dog safe. Or chosing the wrong dog.
At our block party two big kids were trying to ride their dog..I told them to stop.

Again, since "pit bull" mixes have alot of breeds what makes you so sure that you can blame the "pit" and not the other working dog breeds for the attack?

I don't care of the owners missed 100s of subtle "signs" from their dogs, you should not have to be a professional animal behaviorist to own a pet. If I missed behavior signals, or even chose to ignore those signals from my dog, she would eventually either retreat to her bed or she would be obnoxious. She'd steal food, she'd get over excited and jump on people, she'd refuse to respond to cues, she might even growl or bite. But she would never (and I 1000% guarantee this) maul or kill a child. She is not gamey, she has inherent bite inhibition, and ultimately she is a domestic pet from a line of domestic pets.

Dogs should also be giving a series of escalating "signals". A domestic pet should not go from lip licking, whale eyes, look aways, and yawns to mauling/killing. There is not a single parent that is telling their child to go snuggle with a growling, air snapping, hackles raised dog, let alone a dog that is biting, making contact with a person's body and releasing. By the time a dog is ready to maul and kill, they should have been giving off multiple "stay away", red zone, obvious behavior signs. We are not talking about a single bite from a stressed dog, we are talking about dogs that literally pull people apart. If pitbulls' danger signals are so subtle that people tend to misread them, and then the mauling/killing is a surprise, then these are not dogs that 99% of people should ever have in the house.

+1 to all of this. Plus, people with dogs, including pits, do not just keep them in their homes. They take them out of the house, they walk them on the street, go to the park, to the dog park, etc. Unless you keep your dog sequestered at home, which almost no one does, you can't guarantee that they will only interact with people and other dogs who are skilled in recognizing that dog's signs and triggers.

There are so many pits and pit mixes in my neighborhood, and sometimes I even see them off leash, and it makes me so angry. I have a small child. She is extremely cautious around dogs but with a dog... you just never know. I was once attacked by a dog at someone else's house because I was in the kitchen washing dishes and the dog walked into the room, didn't recognize me, and attacked me. I didn't do anything to the dog, he was just reaction to "stranger in house." It was terrifying.

Yes, that dog's owner was to blame but trust me, when a dog is coming at you with their teeth, the fact that it's the owner's fault for failing to train, socialize, or restrain their dog properly doesn't matter. You're just scared for your life.

People should not be allowed to keep dogs as pets who are inclined to kill people. Full. Stop.

How do you function in this world with this mentality? Pit bulls are allowed in society! You are just going to have to deal

Thanks to irresponsible idiots like you.

I am a responsible owner. My dog is trained. I don't let him off leash so don't blame ME for all the other people who are idiots. I am responsible for MY dog only. So mature to call others names when YOU HAVE NO LOGICAL comeback. Look the world is a dangerous place. Maybe you should stay in bed.

Your chosen breed of dog is violent and dangerous. I can judge you for that. Deal with it.

Also, most pits are good - it is the owners of some dogs (big and small) that are awful and irresponsible.

So are you saying that pitts have such awful, irresponsible owners that mauling/killing is reasonable "misbehavior" from a dog?

I seriously doubt that these parents were so awful, they trained their pitts to kill their own children

My dog is not violent or aggressive. You are on the other hand should wear a muzzle.

I don't give two figs if you judge me. You are like a paper tiger.

To the pit defender: What do you think the mom of the two mauled children would have written about their sweet family dogs of 8 years on the day before the adorbs pibbles killed the little girl & boy?

Everything you write sounds just like something she would have written about her oh-so-darling pets.

also, I've already answered your questions but, you don't want to take in any new or correct information.

Let me give you an example: Most men are in prison and are the ones who generally are the abusive ones in the male/female relationship. We hear about male violence all the time and yet we aren't writing off the male gender are we?

You are writing off at least five different breeds not including the mixes. Let's face it these events are tragic but to blame every dog that has pit is also wrong! We don't ban German Shepherds, Chows, Belgian Milionis and a host of other dogs

I know I am not going to convince you but, to keep asking the same question over and over is very tiring!

This is the weirdest comparison. God you pit bull people are off.

I like Italian Greyhounds. Dislike pit bulls and Viszla hounds.

Love—goldens, spaniels, Bernese, pugs, newfies, wolfhounds, Great Danes, Germans that are well trained

Don’t like— pits, chihuahuas (except one), those mean happy little white dogs(Maltese?), hairless dogs, Jack Russell’s, Dobermans.

It is very logical. It is actually the argument you use againt pit bulls whem you want to ban or eraticate all. Because there are "pit" bulls who have mauled or attacked you condemn ALL of these dogs.
Men kill, rape and are a danger to society. If you follow your thinking men should be banned too. I mean boy babies look cute and innocent but they have so much testosterone which makes the super aggressive!
See how crazy your side is?
