Why are you blaming the dogs when it is clearly the owner's fault?

There are bad poodle owners, too. They don’t put people into the ICU. Ergo: pit bulls are bad dogs.

It is the owners not the dog

As a foster who has had many pits, I disagree. But if it IS the owners, why y'all so effing shitty as a group? The most abusive, the most likely to to gross stuff like crop ears in the backyard, by FAR the least likely to spay/neuter (that's a fact. 80% of all dogs in the US are fixed, only 20% of Pits and their mixes). Very few in training kind of hated by pro dog trainers. I guess it's fair when I see you and your pit in the street to assume you're an animal abuser. That's cool.

I can only control what I do. My dog is neutered. My dog is trained and taken care of phtsically snd emotionally. Are you saying I am responsible for every pit bull owner?

Pit bulls attract tough guys...gang members who get the dogs and abuse them. They are the ones responsible. Why are you assuming that I am one of them?

If a lab attacked would you say it is the breed? Or say it was the owner's fault?

Surely you don’t believe that all of the many, many maulings posted here were perpetrated by dogs who were abused by tough guy gang members?

The vast majority yrs. Maybe they don't have to be gang members but people who only get the dogs to improve their tough guy image. If they live outside and aren't treated like a member of the family. Or thise with many dogs like the guy in LA where one attacks and the other join in

Vast majority? I don’t think so.

You "believe" but, yet offer no facts. But don't just take my word for it

https://worldanimalfoundation.org/dogs/pitbull-statistics/

So you cite to ridiculous pro-pit propaganda, just laughable.

Except it’s no laughing matter.

Go to dogsbite.org for the unvarnished truth about pitbull attacks.

Most pit bull attacks happen to owners, family members, visiting friends, dog sitters, neighbors, and strangers who happen to be walking where somebody’s pit bull got loose.

There are countless stories of regular Joes and Janes who raised their pit bulls with love, never neglected or abused them, trained them well and then were horrified to see them kill a family member or friend.

It’s about the deep seated, thousands of generations of breeding in certain behaviors (attack without warning, hair trigger, bite and hold at all cost and in the face of extreme pain) which cannot be bred out in a few generations because suddenly there is a host of people foolish enough to think pit bulls are sweet babies, nanny dogs and all the other BS propaganda about these potentially lethal dogs.

Wrong. That organization if very against pit bulls and they cannot be trusted.

Because pitbulls kill so many people.

We kill more pit bulls than they kill us. Humans kill about one million a year. Humans also kill more humans and yet pit bulls are sern as the enemy

I can’t tell if this post is serious or not.

What would make the post "not serious"? Humans do kill more dogs than dogs kill humans. Humans are causing more harm to the planet. And humans kill more humans with guns, knives, wars. Humans cause dogs to be violent by mistreating them and yet you blame the dog. Why is that? Pit bulls are the most mistreated dogs and yet we don't expect any ramifications for how we treat them.

You’re not making a cogent argument. A million pit bulls are euthanized per year because there’s rampant overbreeding. Are you arguing that because humans euthanize pit bulls, we deserve to suffer horrific maulings every so often? Humans are more dangerous than pit bulls, but that’s not a reason to continue to breed way more pit bulls than are wanted as pets.

There are innocent victims no doubt and those do not deserve to be attacked. You all are generally saying that it is the dog's genetics that determine that they will always be a menace and aggressive. And I am saying that the cause is the humans who are "raising the dogs" We should blame the humans and punish them who mistreat dogs so much that they attack. Thats' what I am saying.

We can’t go back in time and change the history of pit bulls. All we can do is try to get their population under control now that they exist. How do we do that?

That’s a great program to get existing pit bulls adopted, but it does absolutely nothing to curb the steady stream of excess pit bulls that are bred.

Why are you blaming the dogs when it is clearly the owner's fault?

There are bad poodle owners, too. They don’t put people into the ICU. Ergo: pit bulls are bad dogs.

It is the owners not the dog

As a foster who has had many pits, I disagree. But if it IS the owners, why y'all so effing shitty as a group? The most abusive, the most likely to to gross stuff like crop ears in the backyard, by FAR the least likely to spay/neuter (that's a fact. 80% of all dogs in the US are fixed, only 20% of Pits and their mixes). Very few in training kind of hated by pro dog trainers. I guess it's fair when I see you and your pit in the street to assume you're an animal abuser. That's cool.

I can only control what I do. My dog is neutered. My dog is trained and taken care of phtsically snd emotionally. Are you saying I am responsible for every pit bull owner?

Pit bulls attract tough guys...gang members who get the dogs and abuse them. They are the ones responsible. Why are you assuming that I am one of them?

If a lab attacked would you say it is the breed? Or say it was the owner's fault?

Surely you don’t believe that all of the many, many maulings posted here were perpetrated by dogs who were abused by tough guy gang members?

The vast majority yrs. Maybe they don't have to be gang members but people who only get the dogs to improve their tough guy image. If they live outside and aren't treated like a member of the family. Or thise with many dogs like the guy in LA where one attacks and the other join in

Vast majority? I don’t think so.

You "believe" but, yet offer no facts. But don't just take my word for it

So you cite to ridiculous pro-pit propaganda, just laughable.

Except it’s no laughing matter.

Go to dogsbite.org for the unvarnished truth about pitbull attacks.

Most pit bull attacks happen to owners, family members, visiting friends, dog sitters, neighbors, and strangers who happen to be walking where somebody’s pit bull got loose.

There are countless stories of regular Joes and Janes who raised their pit bulls with love, never neglected or abused them, trained them well and then were horrified to see them kill a family member or friend.

It’s about the deep seated, thousands of generations of breeding in certain behaviors (attack without warning, hair trigger, bite and hold at all cost and in the face of extreme pain) which cannot be bred out in a few generations because suddenly there is a host of people foolish enough to think pit bulls are sweet babies, nanny dogs and all the other BS propaganda about these potentially lethal dogs.

Wrong. That organization if very against pit bulls and they cannot be trusted.

Because pitbulls kill so many people.

We kill more pit bulls than they kill us. Humans kill about one million a year. Humans also kill more humans and yet pit bulls are sern as the enemy

I can’t tell if this post is serious or not.

What would make the post "not serious"? Humans do kill more dogs than dogs kill humans. Humans are causing more harm to the planet. And humans kill more humans with guns, knives, wars. Humans cause dogs to be violent by mistreating them and yet you blame the dog. Why is that? Pit bulls are the most mistreated dogs and yet we don't expect any ramifications for how we treat them.

You’re not making a cogent argument. A million pit bulls are euthanized per year because there’s rampant overbreeding. Are you arguing that because humans euthanize pit bulls, we deserve to suffer horrific maulings every so often? Humans are more dangerous than pit bulls, but that’s not a reason to continue to breed way more pit bulls than are wanted as pets.

There are innocent victims no doubt and those do not deserve to be attacked. You all are generally saying that it is the dog's genetics that determine that they will always be a menace and aggressive. And I am saying that the cause is the humans who are "raising the dogs" We should blame the humans and punish them who mistreat dogs so much that they attack. Thats' what I am saying.

No one is saying that humans are blameless. We’re saying that because pit bulls have been weaponized, they’re dangerous. You want to argue about who is to blame for their being dangerous. We can’t go back in time and change the history of pit bulls. All we can do is try to get their population under control now that they exist. How do we do that?

Here is what one shelter is doing:

That’s a great program to get existing pit bulls adopted, but it does absolutely nothing to curb the steady stream of excess pit bulls that are bred.

Obviously one has to enforce neutering and spaying
