I don't have a dog in this fight (ha!) but a quick google turned up many pages from insurance companies about pit bulls specifically, and they can result in higher premiums or not covered by insurance, as a vicious breed. Here's one link: https://www.xinsurance.com/blog/pit-bull-liability-insurance/ " While most homeowners insurance policies include pets in their coverage, almost all companies make exceptions for particular breeds considered “vicious,” and pit bulls are at the top of their list." |

I don't think dogs are humans who are subject to our same judicial system. So no, I'd really have no problem with culling pit bulls. |

Off river road behind st bart’s. The address was in the articles. |

"the PITBULL was not contained and was EATING THE OTHER DOG in the yard of a residence" |

News story said vicious dog was on the loose (probably another pitbull) |

Typical anti-pit ranter, calling others "deranged" while alluding to "facts" that don't actually exist. Delulu is you. |

You do realize you've addressed at least two separate posters here, and there are several sane people on the other thread who recognize that "pit bull" is an umbrella term, right? Right? I mean, surely you considered that the anon board might have more than just your one "nemesis" poster, yeah? And, speaking only for myself, I don't always respond to idiotic trolling nonsense. Sometimes, I have time.  Sometimes, I choose to spend it doing better things than trying to educate the willfully-ignorant. If you wanted to know better and do better, you could. Nobody owes you a loving handhold and personalized education program, especially when you "ask" with comments like this. You're allowed to be stupid, and we'll let you.
But you do, in fact, look stupid. Really fscking stupid. If I cared about you, I'd be embarrassed for you. |

To the stupid, this will read as "horribly violent dog does unspeakable thing because pit bulls are evil". To the intelligent, and especially those who understand dogs, it's more a clue that the dog was likely badly malnourished, which is a sign of abuse. There's a clickbait "news" article in the pit hate thread showing some dude's XL bully that turned on him. Dog is emaciated, coat is in terrible condition... Dogs are animals and they need to eat. As unpleasant as it is to read about, there's logic and reason behind it, and the reason isn't "the dog('s whole breed) is clearly evil" I hope the owner is found and fined. |

Not PP but I have landlord policies which do not allow tenants to have certain breeds including pit bulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Huskies, Akitas and a few others. |

You'd be better served to have mandatory renter's insurance that covers dog bites, verified licensing of all animals that will be present in shared/common areas of the property, and 6ft leash requirements that prohibit the use of retractables. Also fines for the irresponsible owners who don't scoop their pet's poop. All dogs can bite. Breed restrictions don't eliminate fights and bites. The policies I listed would go a lot further toward protecting your other tenants and your property/properties. |

Niiiiice selective edit ya got there, PP.  The very next sentence is: "Bite incidents more often result from improper training rather than breeding, but pit bulls still have a perception as a dangerous breed."
Perception =/= facts |

If some dog owner had a dog so out of control, so malnourished, or both, that it attacked and killed my dog, I would sue and push for criminal charges with every bit of my waking energy and will. I would make that person’s life an utter hell for the rest of his days. Our dog is absolutely like a family member to us and I’m convinced has saved my once-quasi-suicidal son’s life. For a horrific attack like this, the punishment should be so severe and devastating that other dog owners will sit up, take notice, and make sure they act responsibly.
That poor family and that tragic, poor dog who was killed. Nightmarish beyond belief. |

Because rescues were abused and attack |

Oh please. A malnourished lab or Frenchie is not going to start killing and eating another dog. Only a really deranged dog would do that. (Fwiw, I'm not a huge fan of pitties, I've known a lot of them and they are unpredictable, hard to train, prone to biting, and dumb. But speaking from unfortunate experience, they have not chewed on a dead body.) |

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0379073897001126 It's like you don't even understand what a dog is, and you're too lazy and stupid to use the internet you're on to learn.
