Deadly dog bites are on the rise in the last three years. Gee. Whatever could be the cause of this.


Did you read the article? It doesn't blame the dogs or any specific breed but, the fault is on the humans who don't know how to read dog's clues. So, thanks for making my point!

I did read the article. You might be in denial about what these bred for aggression and reactivity and tenacity blood thirsty dogs are capable of, but unfortunately thousands of dogs and cats and hundreds of people have lost their lives. That’s a fact.

Ahh the good old - and debunked - Animal Temperment Test.

XL Bullies are banned in England. People are seeing through the lies pit bull people tell. People are starting to notice that even sweet family pets just snap and ear some old person. They’ve noticed that “support” animals eat their owner when they’re having a seizure. Too many people have seen videos of attacking pit bulls being hit repeatedly, shot sometimes even, and still out for toddler blood. The jig is up.


You are moving the goal post. We aren't talking about XL bullies


Pit Bulls are banned in the UK along with a couple of other aggressive breeds. XL Pit Bulls are next on the list to be banned.

There are so many dog breeds to choose from. Why choose a pit? I want this breed to be eliminated. All current pits should be spayed or neutered and the breed should die out via attrition.


I would love to see this as well. I have started carrying a handgun as I have seen too many off-leash pits and reckless pit owners even in my UMC neighborhood’s dog park.

It’s unreasonable to ask the general public to be okay with the risk of death or severe damage just so some schmucks can be pit bull owners.

OAN I believe there is something fundamentally wrong with people that seek out these dogs as pets.


I think there is something fundamentally wrong with you that condemns five breeds of dog. I remember when other dogs were the "villians" and now it is pit bulls turn. I am more likely to be killed by a person while in school or movie theatre than a pit bull. Again humans kill more pit bulls and humans than pit bulls do. But, I suppose logic isn't your strong suit.


Can you say logic is not somebody strong suit and you're comparing humans with Pitbulls?Try a I question your logic skills


Your sentence doesn't make any sense. We are talking about our risks in life. Statistically, we are at greater risk from humans than pit bulls. Sorry you don't get it.


You are comparing apples and oranges The poster was talking about eliminating a breed due to its tendency to be more violent than other breeds. And in talking about eliminating the breed, another poster is not talking about killing all pitbull's, but neutering and spaying all pitbull and pitbull mixes so the breed could be eliminated by attrition. Nothing wrong with that suggestion. We don't need more unwanted puppies.

+1
And oh do pit bulls have unwanted puppies. So many puppies.

I’d also be comfortable with pit bulls that bite and maim being put down in addition to neuter and spaying; that’s not a rule anymore. Lots of these “oh he’s a sweet lump of a shelter dog, he’s a couch hippo!” have bite histories, sometimes complex bite histories. The world is not the chew toy of the blood sport dog and since these people insist on bringing their bred for blood sport dogs everywhere they go, we’re all at risk.


What are you smoking? Pit Bulls are the number 1 dogs that are put down. I believe it is about 1 million. You will never fully eliminate any pit because of the mixes. Even if they have 10 percent pit you people are so bloodthirsty that you will kill them too. Again, statistically speaking the chance of you being killed by a pit bull is very small. You cannot say the same thing for humans.


If all pits and pit mixes were spayed or neutered to be eliminated by attrition, there will be less Pitbulls to be put down. I think that is the best and most humane solution.


I agree with the spaying and neutering and as a responsible owner I have done so but, you never answered what % of pit would be "acceptable" to you. Since the macho guys who abuse animals also breed them I do not see your solution actually working.

How about any percentage over 25% and/or has that rictus grin mouth and the butt crack head.


Former prosecutor here, have prosecuted a number of dangerous dog cases and attended animal abuse conferences and am well educated on the dangers of bully breeds and other breeds that comprise the majority of lethal attacks on humans and other animals.

I am personally strongly anti-pit bull. It happens when you’ve actually seen the autopsy photos of children ripped apart by a pit bull attack. I honestly don’t even ‘get’ the attraction of these dogs, especially the XL models which look exactly like what they are capable of being - killing machines.

All that said, I have mixed feelings about how we eradicate the breed. A few months before the pandemic, having lost my last dog to illness and old age, I adopted a dog from an out of state rescue after searching for border collies and border collie mixes. My dog is a mix, but looks very much like a border collie in terms of size/shape of head/eye color/coat color (border collies come in many colors/patterns, hers fits one of the known variations).

She’s the best dog I’ve ever had, and I’ve had some fantastic dogs. Her behavior aligns closely with border collie behavior. She is velcro, sensitive and super intelligent. She’s also fierce - she once ran off a coyote that entered our yard and approached us at our fire pit - there was a tussle, no blood drawn by either canid but the coyotes have never come into the yard since.

I’m nuts about this dog.

A year or so after she came to live with me, Embark DNA kits went on sale and I had hers done. She is 27.5% border collie - and 30.9% American Pit Bull Terrier. The rest is a mix of Rottweiler, Labrador, German Shepherd Dog and Treeing Walker Coonhound.

She doesn’t have any of the typical physical characteristics of a pit bull, but you can’t deny that’s the majority of her genes. It makes me sick to think of her being euthanized for that, because she’s a fantastic dog - incredibly well behaved, almost never barks, super gentle mouth, very obedient. Everyone who meets her loves her, including people who tell me they’re lukewarm about dogs.

What’s the answer, then?



I should add, that I considered having her DNA done before she was transported to me - she was a few months coming to me from Arkansas because she was heartworm positive and had to have treatment before they would send her.

If I’d known she was 30.9% pit bull then, I likely would have asked for my adoption fee to be transferred to another dog. I live with a kid and I would have feared the pit bull in her. That kid adores the dog, and the dog has never shown any signs of aggression toward any of us - and I’m a person who has studied canine behavior and knows what to look for.

I’m so glad I didn’t get the test done ahead of time.


Reading this thread, it looks like the advice is for you to make sure your dog is spayed, female, or neutered if male so they cannot have any more puppies. And if God for bid your dog bite, someone, you might have to seriously consider putting her down. But if she bites nobody then she can live a long life with you, and just not have any puppies.

Just fyi you are a terrible human. Imagine judging a dog with 25% pit and 75% Lab as a dog not worthy of living. But you are not the boss of anyone so we can ignore your wishes


Neutering isn't the same thing as deeming them not worthy of living

What a bizarre overreaction.

If you had followed the thread the pp said that "they want to neuter and spay them out of existence" So, they want ZERO in the world. Not American pit bull terriers, not American Staffs, no mixes NONE. And you tell me I've overreacting!

The world is not the chew toy of the blood sport dog and since these people insist on bringing their bred for blood sport dogs everywhere they go, we’re all at risk.


What are you smoking? Pit Bulls are the number 1 dogs that are put down. I believe it is about 1 million. You will never fully eliminate any pit because of the mixes. Even if they have 10 percent pit you people are so bloodthirsty that you will kill them too. Again, statistically speaking the chance of you being killed by a pit bull is very small. You cannot say the same thing for humans.


If all pits and pit mixes were spayed or neutered to be eliminated by attrition, there will be less Pitbulls to be put down. I think that is the best and most humane solution.


I agree with the spaying and neutering and as a responsible owner I have done so but, you never answered what % of pit would be "acceptable" to you. Since the macho guys who abuse animals also breed them I do not see your solution actually working.

How about any percentage over 25% and/or has that rictus grin mouth and the butt crack head.


Just fyi you are a terrible human. Imagine judging a dog with 25% pit and 75% Lab as a dog not worthy of living. But you are not the boss of anyone so we can ignore your wishes


Neutering isn't the same thing as deeming them not worthy of living

+1

What a bizarre overreaction.


If you had followed the thread the pp said that "they want to neuter and spay them out of existence" So, they want ZERO in the world. Not American pit bull terriers, not American Staffs, no mixes NONE. And you tell me I've overreacting!

That’s cool with me.


Classic gaslighter. I wish you didn't exist either


I am another poster that is cool with having all pit bulls and pitbull mixes eliminated by spaying and neutering, all pitbull and pitbull mixes. In 20 years, the breed would be eradicated humanely. There's no reason for that breed to exist. There are plenty of wonderful, friendly dogs that have zero pit mix in them. Those dogs need to be adopted and loved.

Deadly dog bites are on the rise in the last three years. Gee. Whatever could be the cause of this.


Did you read the article? It doesn't blame the dogs or any specific breed but, the fault is on the humans who don't know how to read dog's clues. So, thanks for making my point!

I did read the article. You might be in denial about what these bred for aggression and reactivity and tenacity blood thirsty dogs are capable of, but unfortunately thousands of dogs and cats and hundreds of people have lost their lives. That’s a fact.

Ahh the good old - and debunked - Animal Temperment Test.

XL Bullies are banned in England. People are seeing through the lies pit bull people tell. People are starting to notice that even sweet family pets just snap and ear some old person. They’ve noticed that “support” animals eat their owner when they’re having a seizure. Too many people have seen videos of attacking pit bulls being hit repeatedly, shot sometimes even, and still out for toddler blood. The jig is up.


You are moving the goal post. We aren't talking about XL bullies


Pit Bulls are banned in the UK along with a couple of other aggressive breeds. XL Pit Bulls are next on the list to be banned.

There are so many dog breeds to choose from. Why choose a pit? I want this breed to be eliminated. All current pits should be spayed or neutered and the breed should die out via attrition.


I would love to see this as well. I have started carrying a handgun as I have seen too many off-leash pits and reckless pit owners even in my UMC neighborhood’s dog park.

It’s unreasonable to ask the general public to be okay with the risk of death or severe damage just so some schmucks can be pit bull owners.

OAN I believe there is something fundamentally wrong with people that seek out these dogs as pets.


I think there is something fundamentally wrong with you that condemns five breeds of dog. I remember when other dogs were the "villians" and now it is pit bulls turn. I am more likely to be killed by a person while in school or movie theatre than a pit bull. Again humans kill more pit bulls and humans than pit bulls do. But, I suppose logic isn't your strong suit.


Can you say logic is not somebody strong suit and you're comparing humans with Pitbulls?Try a I question your logic skills


Your sentence doesn't make any sense. We are talking about our risks in life. Statistically, we are at greater risk from humans than pit bulls. Sorry you don't get it.


You are comparing apples and oranges The poster was talking about eliminating a breed due to its tendency to be more violent than other breeds. And in talking about eliminating the breed, another poster is not talking about killing all pitbull's, but neutering and spaying all pitbull and pitbull mixes so the breed could be eliminated by attrition. Nothing wrong with that suggestion. We don't need more unwanted puppies.

You are moving the goal post. We aren't talking about XL bullies


Pit Bulls are banned in the UK along with a couple of other aggressive breeds. XL Pit Bulls are next on the list to be banned.

There are so many dog breeds to choose from. Why choose a pit? I want this breed to be eliminated. All current pits should be spayed or neutered and the breed should die out via attrition.


I would love to see this as well. I have started carrying a handgun as I have seen too many off-leash pits and reckless pit owners even in my UMC neighborhood’s dog park.

It’s unreasonable to ask the general public to be okay with the risk of death or severe damage just so some schmucks can be pit bull owners.

OAN I believe there is something fundamentally wrong with people that seek out these dogs as pets.


I think there is something fundamentally wrong with you that condemns five breeds of dog. I remember when other dogs were the "villians" and now it is pit bulls turn. I am more likely to be killed by a person while in school or movie theatre than a pit bull. Again humans kill more pit bulls and humans than pit bulls do. But, I suppose logic isn't your strong suit.


Can you say logic is not somebody strong suit and you're comparing humans with Pitbulls?Try a I question your logic skills


Your sentence doesn't make any sense. We are talking about our risks in life. Statistically, we are at greater risk from humans than pit bulls. Sorry you don't get it.


You are comparing apples and oranges The poster was talking about eliminating a breed due to its tendency to be more violent than other breeds. And in talking about eliminating the breed, another poster is not talking about killing all pitbull's, but neutering and spaying all pitbull and pitbull mixes so the breed could be eliminated by attrition. Nothing wrong with that suggestion. We don't need more unwanted puppies.

And oh do pit bulls have unwanted puppies. So many puppies.

I’d also be comfortable with pit bulls that bite and maim being put down in addition to neuter and spaying; that’s not a rule anymore. Lots of these “oh he’s a sweet lump of a shelter dog, he’s a couch hippo!” have bite histories, sometimes complex bite histories. The world is not the chew toy of the blood sport dog and since these people insist on bringing their bred for blood sport dogs everywhere they go, we’re all at risk.


What are you smoking? Pit Bulls are the number 1 dogs that are put down. I believe it is about 1 million. You will never fully eliminate any pit because of the mixes. Even if they have 10 percent pit you people are so bloodthirsty that you will kill them too. Again, statistically speaking the chance of you being killed by a pit bull is very small. You cannot say the same thing for humans.


If all pits and pit mixes were spayed or neutered to be eliminated by attrition, there will be less Pitbulls to be put down. I think that is the best and most humane solution.


I agree with the spaying and neutering and as a responsible owner I have done so but, you never answered what % of pit would be "acceptable" to you. Since the macho guys who abuse animals also breed them I do not see your solution actually working.

How about any percentage over 25% and/or has that rictus grin mouth and the butt crack head.


Just fyi you are a terrible human. Imagine judging a dog with 25% pit and 75% Lab as a dog not worthy of living. But you are not the boss of anyone so we can ignore your wishes


Neutering isn't the same thing as deeming them not worthy of living

+1

What a bizarre overreaction.


If you had followed the thread the pp said that "they want to neuter and spay them out of existence" So, they want ZERO in the world. Not American pit bull terriers, not American Staffs, no mixes NONE. And you tell me I've overreacting!


Correct. And you are over reacting in my opinion. What is wrong with having no more pit bull and pitbull mixes within the next 20 years?


Because I and other people like them. You I could do without

Lol. There’s the pit bull owner charm.

I, too, would be fine with zero pit bulls. AKC recognizes about 200 dog breeds. If you can’t find one, maybe you’re just not a dog person.


I would be fine if you don't exist either but here we are. You don't have to like every dog but, they are dogs and many people love them. I found my dog so that makes me by definition a "dog person"


Also, do no recognize mixed breeds which there are many...doodles? not recgonized but we can all agree they are dogs. American staffordshire terriers ARE recognized. Stop telling people what they can and cannot chose

Deadly dog bites are on the rise in the last three years. Gee. Whatever could be the cause of this.


Did you read the article? It doesn't blame the dogs or any specific breed but, the fault is on the humans who don't know how to read dog's clues. So, thanks for making my point!

I did read the article. You might be in denial about what these bred for aggression and reactivity and tenacity blood thirsty dogs are capable of, but unfortunately thousands of dogs and cats and hundreds of people have lost their lives. That’s a fact.

Ahh the good old - and debunked - Animal Temperment Test.

XL Bullies are banned in England. People are seeing through the lies pit bull people tell. People are starting to notice that even sweet family pets just snap and ear some old person. They’ve noticed that “support” animals eat their owner when they’re having a seizure. Too many people have seen videos of attacking pit bulls being hit repeatedly, shot sometimes even, and still out for toddler blood. The jig is up.

That’s cool with me.


Even the people I know that love their pitbulls would be okay with that. They just wanted a shelter dog. They would have adopted a doodle or a lab out of the shelter too. It just hapepned that 99% of the dogs in the shelters are pit bulls.

I think neutering and spaying them out of existence is a great solution. They were bred to be fierce and fight. They didn't get that way naturally.

The breed should be retired. Also, it should be illegal to keep the dog around children as they don't know the danger or have a choice to stay away.
The child should be able to sue the parent once grown.
