Why not start a thread on the dangers of swimming pools? Or the dangers of guns in schools?

Are you just going to keep posting these stories forever??? According to you all if pit bulls are soo dangerous everyone of us would have been mauled or know someone has been mauled. Being mauled is very rare despite how many times you post. And since we don't know the dna of this dog we have no idea if it was an American pit bull terrier.

I think that’s the hope of the people who love pit bulls, but tides are turning. People can see through the pro-pit propaganda.

Exactly. These threads will come up in someone’s search results or cross someone’s radar browsing DCUM. A lot of these dogs end up in homes with families who are just looking to adopt a shelter dog and either don’t understand what they’re getting themselves into or have been lied to by the “sweet little pibble nanny dog” lobby.

Maybe if these people remember all these stories of young children being brutally killed and maimed without provocation, fewer people will be willing to take chances on adopting these dogs.

Obviously the hardcore pit bull apologists aren’t going to be moved by a child dying from an attack, but maybe the more reasonable readers who are just starting out researching dog breeds will come across this.

And this is why I post every fatal attack in the United States that I find. For those who are curious, go google it. There are fatal attacks on humans by pit bulls nearly every day around the world. They’re more dangerous than any wild animal because they are in homes and businesses (as “emotional support animals” Maybe try a rabbit, you guys) and, at the insistence of their supporters, schools and nursing homes sometimes, too.

Yes, any dog can bite but there’s not another breed that mauls and kills for the sheer joy of it, and certainly not one that is billed by its supporters as “sweet.”

Not to mention all the attacks on other dogs and small animals that aren’t even tracked and reported. Plus maulings that aren’t fatal and don’t make the news. What is on Google is just the tip of the damage they do.

Yeah, this is my big thing with pits. 2 in my neighborhood never touched a person. Sweeties! Killed 10 dogs before they were deemed a threat including a Huskie and a Golden, big enough to put up a fight. They're horrifically destructive and that kind of thing isn't even tracked. The people suggesting they be in rural places are probably right in the heart of protecting people, but they're notorious to just rip through livestock, so that's not an answer. Idk they're fighting dogs, they're not fit for most other purposes.

WTH is wrong with you? Why do you insist on keeping a MONSTER as a “pet”? I wouldn’t care quite so much if these stupid animals only ever attacked their idiot owners, but children and innocent neighbors are just as likely to be gruesomely killed or horrifically and life-alteringly injured.

There is ZERO reason for anyone own a pit bull. They should all be neutered and the breed banned.

My dog is lovable and amazing!

All pits are “lovable and amazing” until suddenly one second they’re not.

Wrong! Show how ignorant you are. A dog gives warnings and people are not smart enough to know them.

I'm a trainer. This is actually so ignorant of you. The bull baiters are unique in that they don't always give warning. I mean, sometimes they do like all these meth head morons throwing their infants into a sea of pits with whale eyes, but...they're not reliable like other dogs on that.

And if people aren't smart enough? Good! That means only the most smart and educated owners should have them, no? Not hand them out like free candy to any dumb Tom, Dick and Jane.

I am the pp. First of all, rescue organizations are very clear about providing homes for ALL dogs to the right family. The shelters will not let a family adopt if a dog that needs to be the solo dog and you have another dog or likes to chase cats and you have cats. They state very clearly which dog needs adult only environment. So your facts are very incorrect.

The fact that you people ignore that "pit bulls" are the most abused animals currently makes a difference in how they are going to react to people. Unfortunately those who are "tough guys" want dogs with tough reputations and therefore the circle continues.

Second, Pit bulls are not just one breed so it is unfair to compare them to purebred dogs. We have no idea what part of the dog makes them attack. If a dog has any pit than they will say "pit bull attack' even when the dog maybe on five percent or so. Our society likes to sell trauma porn. And leading with the title "pit bull mix attacks" sells.

Unfortunately, children are more likely to be bitten by dogs for a variety of reasons and because they are smaller it is more deadly. Of course, this is a tradegy but, for the most part it can be prevented and I blame the adults humans in charge, not the dogs.

have my facts just right. In fact I have a shelter dog and have volunteered with foster dogs. The shelters do they best they can to match dogs with families, but the fact these dogs are unpredictable means they can’t for sure say which dogs will end up crawling under a fence and eating a toddler’s face off next door. Maybe some of these shelters/rescues need to get their pants sued off so they decide to no longer take these risks in adopting out these dogs.

Also, no one is calling a dog with 5% pit a pitbull mix. There’s usually photos of the dogs accompanied with the articles and we can all see with our own eyes the dogs attacking are clearly the ones with obvious bully breed/terrier characteristics. The only thing “unfair” is letting idiots bring these dogs into neighborhoods and letting them maul unsuspecting innocents.

To your next point, labs aren’t killing people by and large. Stop obfuscating with irrelevant facts. The fact you’d compare bites that maybe need stitches to kids getting their faces ripped off shows just how overboard you are defending these monster creatures.

And no, these attacks can’t mostly be prevented when these dogs are digging under fences to grab the neighborhood kids or biting without a warning sign like other dogs give. Nice job victim blaming though. I’m sure those little babies in Nashville eaten by the “lion dogs” really had it coming to them. Also by your own admission, a$&holes like to own and abuse these dogs — so how do you avoid attacks in these situations?

Claps X1000 from a former shelter worker and current foster. We have a problem in rescue. And it's bully breeds. This is undeniable to anyone not fully in the cult.

I think the worst part is when shelters and rescues keep adopting out dogs with known aggression and bite histories and keeping that information secret from the adopting families. That is not safe or appropriate.

Just because you say "I'm a trainer" ia meaningless. Anyone can say that since it is highly unregulated.

Pit bulls do give warnings. As do all dogs. The fact that you say they dont says everything I need to know about your "expertise". Most people shouldnt own dogs because most people are lazy.

Name your shelter that does this. Every orgainization that I know is very upfront. You do know most pit bulls are put to sleep? The rescues in this area are very clear. They do not hide anything.

I'm a trainer. This is actually so ignorant of you. The bull baiters are unique in that they don't always give warning. I mean, sometimes they do like all these meth head morons throwing their infants into a sea of pits with whale eyes, but...they're not reliable like other dogs on that.

And if people aren't smart enough? Good! That means only the most smart and educated owners should have them, no? Not hand them out like free candy to any dumb Tom, Dick and Jane.

I think it's hysterical that someone thinks it's ok to have an animal among humans, around kids even, that is capable of this level of undeserved destruction EVEN IF they give a warning first lol. That mindset is truly insane. NONE of the kids that are maimed or killed deserved it, even if they had ignored a "warning". NONE of them

Exactly. These threads will come up in someone’s search results or cross someone’s radar browsing DCUM.

have my facts just right. In fact I have a shelter dog and have volunteered with foster dogs. The shelters do they best they can to match dogs with families, but the fact these dogs are unpredictable means they can’t for sure say which dogs will end up crawling under a fence and eating a toddler’s face off next door. Maybe some of these shelters/rescues need to get their pants sued off so they decide to no longer take these risks in adopting out these dogs.

Also, no one is calling a dog with 5% pit a pitbull mix. There’s usually photos of the dogs accompanied with the articles and we can all see with our own eyes the dogs attacking are clearly the ones with obvious bully breed/terrier characteristics. The only thing “unfair” is letting idiots bring these dogs into neighborhoods and letting them maul unsuspecting innocents.

To your next point, labs aren’t killing people by and large. Stop obfuscating with irrelevant facts. The fact you’d compare bites that maybe need stitches to kids getting their faces ripped off shows just how overboard you are defending these monster creatures.

And no, these attacks can’t mostly be prevented when these dogs are digging under fences to grab the neighborhood kids or biting without a warning sign like other dogs give. Nice job victim blaming though. I’m sure those little babies in Nashville eaten by the “lion dogs” really had it coming to them. Also by your own admission, a$&holes like to own and abuse these dogs — so how do you avoid attacks in these situations?

Claps X1000 from a former shelter worker and current foster. We have a problem in rescue. And it's bully breeds. This is undeniable to anyone not fully in the cult.

I think the worst part is when shelters and rescues keep adopting out dogs with known aggression and bite histories and keeping that information secret from the adopting families. That is not safe or appropriate.

Name your shelter that does this. Every orgainization that I know is very upfront. You do know most pit bulls are put to sleep? The rescues in this area are very clear. They do not hide anything.

Do you know why most pit bulls are put to sleep? Because there are so freaking many of them. Along with being bred to be game and a willingness to ignore pain and fight to the death, they were bred for huge litters. Fully 80% of pit bulls are unfixed. Strays, strays everywhere, all of them pits.

Why not start a thread on the dangers of swimming pools? Or the dangers of guns in schools?

Are you just going to keep posting these stories forever??? According to you all if pit bulls are soo dangerous everyone of us would have been mauled or know someone has been mauled. Being mauled is very rare despite how many times you post. And since we don't know the dna of this dog we have no idea if it was an American pit bull terrier.

WTH is wrong with you? Why do you insist on keeping a MONSTER as a “pet”? I wouldn’t care quite so much if these stupid animals only ever attacked their idiot owners, but children and innocent neighbors are just as likely to be gruesomely killed or horrifically and life-alteringly injured.

There is ZERO reason for anyone own a pit bull. They should all be neutered and the breed banned.

My dog is lovable and amazing!

All pits are “lovable and amazing” until suddenly one second they’re not.

Wrong! Show how ignorant you are. A dog gives warnings and people are not smart enough to know them.

I'm a trainer. This is actually so ignorant of you. The bull baiters are unique in that they don't always give warning. I mean, sometimes they do like all these meth head morons throwing their infants into a sea of pits with whale eyes, but...they're not reliable like other dogs on that.

And if people aren't smart enough? Good! That means only the most smart and educated owners should have them, no? Not hand them out like free candy to any dumb Tom, Dick and Jane.

Just because you say "I'm a trainer" ia meaningless. Anyone can say that since it is highly unregulated.

Pit bulls do give warnings. As do all dogs. The fact that you say they dont says everything I need to know about your "expertise". Most people shouldnt own dogs because most people are lazy.

I think it's hysterical that someone thinks it's ok to have an animal among humans, around kids even, that is capable of this level of undeserved destruction EVEN IF they give a warning first lol. That mindset is truly insane. NONE of the kids that are maimed or killed deserved it, even if they had ignored a "warning". NONE of them

Limbs torn off, disemboweled, human victims eaten… but it’s okay if there’s a warning!! /s

I think that’s the hope of the people who love pit bulls, but tides are turning. People can see through the pro-pit propaganda.

Exactly. These threads will come up in someone’s search results or cross someone’s radar browsing DCUM. A lot of these dogs end up in homes with families who are just looking to adopt a shelter dog and either don’t understand what they’re getting themselves into or have been lied to by the “sweet little pibble nanny dog” lobby.

Maybe if these people remember all these stories of young children being brutally killed and maimed without provocation, fewer people will be willing to take chances on adopting these dogs.

Obviously the hardcore pit bull apologists aren’t going to be moved by a child dying from an attack, but maybe the more reasonable readers who are just starting out researching dog breeds will come across this.

I am the pp. First of all, rescue organizations are very clear about providing homes for ALL dogs to the right family. The shelters will not let a family adopt if a dog that needs to be the solo dog and you have another dog or likes to chase cats and you have cats. They state very clearly which dog needs adult only environment. So your facts are very incorrect.

The fact that you people ignore that "pit bulls" are the most abused animals currently makes a difference in how they are going to react to people. Unfortunately those who are "tough guys" want dogs with tough reputations and therefore the circle continues.

Second, Pit bulls are not just one breed so it is unfair to compare them to purebred dogs. We have no idea what part of the dog makes them attack. If a dog has any pit than they will say "pit bull attack' even when the dog maybe on five percent or so. Our society likes to sell trauma porn. And leading with the title "pit bull mix attacks" sells.

To the former shelter worker and current foster, were the bully breeds being surrendered being purposefully bred? Or were they largely from unwanted/unplanned litters? Would free /heavily incentivized spay/neutering help? “Free neuter/spay and take a dog bed and bag of dog food home with you” for example. I realize that there are many low cost spay/neuter programs, but I have also seen Reddit posts where posters say they can’t afford even the low cost programs.

I own an American Staffordshire which is often confused for a pit bull. It’s an AKC bred dog who is capable of hurting a child, adult or another animal just like any other dog.
She’s dog reactive much like our previous black Labrador which means we have to keep her on a leash and behind a privacy fence.
She’s a wonderful family dog who will never be left alone with a young child, just like our black lab.
This is a similar argument to gun control and how guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
“pit bulls” kill people when given the chance or worse when someone thinks having their screeching toddler curled up with it is a good idea.
Shelters are FULL of “pit bulls” and are the most euthanized dog. It’s unintended litters if dogs, dumped bait dogs and breed restrictions on housing which means more surrendered pets.
If you want a nice, rescue Beagle, it would take me a long time to find one. You want a pit mix which is super cute and has an unknown background? I can get you three by tomorrow.
Rescues spend time and money on behavioral tests and contrary to this thread, reputable shelters do not adopt out bite risks. They euthanize more dogs that the public even realizes.
It’s ignorant to believe that euthanizing all “pit bulls” or implementing breed bans will stop all attacks. Before this breed, it was Dobermans or Rottweilers.
Responsible ownership and sensible euthanizing of dogs proven to be unable to reside in a home. You can’t adopt out all dogs. Not all of them will be happy ever after.
The shelters have had a horrible year and are overflowing with breeds of all types but pit mixes are obviously the most prevalent because they are most popular in cities and most likely to have unintended litters that way.
I don’t believe anyone is going to read this and think that suddenly they are wrong for pushing to kill all pit bulls. I have an AmStaff and I wouldn’t recommend anyone own one who hasn’t owned a strong willed dog before. If you lined her up next to a boxer or an American pit bull, I’m pretty sure the majority of people wouldn’t be able to pick out the pit bull versus the boxer.

That’s a common view, but obviously it doesn’t solve anything. You can also argue that we should abolish WIC because people who can’t afford formula and diapers should have babies. Not helpful.
