Pets
NP. None of them ever have. They're super sweet wouldn't hurt a fly, love kids, yadda yadda. Until...they're not. And when that drive kicks in, it goes from 0 to 100 in an instant and is frequently fatal. The stats don't lie. Show me a case of a Golden Retriever who snapped and mauled their owner to death and ate their corpse. Like...one. It hasn't happened. These pit attacks happen DAILY on a global scale. How can I only judge the actions when it is CLEARLY a breed inherent trait? Is that always activated? No. Of course not. I expect there are some Chihuahuas who are chill and sweet and not massive a-holes, but that's not a general trait. I am HIGHLY judgmental of owners who DON'T judge a breed and adequately assess their ability to handle those traits. That's total newbie, brainwashed advice. You need to accept breed traits and deal with them appropriately, not act like dogs are a blank slate. So yeah, I'd judge someone in a studio getting a cattle dog and I'll judge anyone who is not a VERY experienced owner/trainer getting a Pit. X1000 if they have kids. I've have raised many, many dogs (some for the blind, some for protection, several comfort dogs, etc) and worked with many trainers. I haven't met more than a small handful that have anything good to say about Pits, though they're good for business. Inherently problematic genetically with owners who don't have a clue. 33% is kind of on the cusp in my opinion. That's supermutt territory to me. |
Well nobody is blaming “all dogs” for anything … in fact there’s a very specific breed of dog that is the concern. |

Scientist here that is a biologist but not even the zoologist kind of biologist. There is SO MUCH evidence that you can breed bad traits into animals. Take the black vs red fox study. Coat color happened to breed with aggressiveness.
For years I handled mice and the black6 would bite the sh&t out of you no matter how well they were handled in advance to try to socialize them. Balbc strain wouldn't harm a fly. |
+1 They’re bad dogs with owners who refuse to recognize pit bull breed traits: gameness. wiling to ignore pain. incredibly high prey drive. loves to attack “weak” people. escape artists. destructive. high anxiety. high resource guarding. low threshold for biting/bite inhibition. These are not good traits. They are great treats if you want to bet on dogs fighting, but they’re terrible for living in polite society. |
Because you're too much of an idiot to understand it has NOTHING to do with the probability of a pit killing another human. Your posts are 100% stupid and meaningless. |
Hmm very mature. It has everything to do since you claim pit bulls are evil and yet here is a story that challenges your belief. |
You are not in charge. You are a terrible human and I would never let anyone murder my dog who has done nothing. |

I think all dogs with more than 50 % pit should be put in special kennels and not permitted in family homes. You can go visit your pit there.
I agree with PP who says any dog owner that doesn’t pay attention to breed traits is a bad dog owner. It’s true of beagles, collies, German shepherds, terriers, and retrievers — you need to know what they were bred for and give them a life that is consistent with that. |
Well thank goodness you are not in charge. Most mixes aren't " bred'" so therefore your theory that they are bred for attacking is wrong since it random. |
'Breeding' happens over generations, 100+ years in many cases. The fact that 80% of dogs are spayed or neutered in the US but only 20% of Pits are (way to go guys! Seriously, responsible owners here!) and the latest iteration is "random" doesn't negate the long-term genetics of breeding dogs for a purpose. And that purpose is bloodsport. |
What a simpleton. It fits though with Pit owners, their dogs are generally stupid and aggressive and the owners follow that pattern. Do better. You don't see this level of idiocy with owners of other potentially dangerous breeds, you really don't. |
Really with any other challenging breed, not even just dangerous breeds, you see people being very deliberate. “This is a wickedly smart dog that needs a specific task and x amount of hours of exercise a day, do not get this amazing dog if you can’t provide that…” or “this dog requires owners who know what they’re doing and…” it really is only pit bull owners who excuse the laundry list of limitations and difficulties of this horrific breed saying that this dog is perfect for everyone. Indeed, pit bull advocates even try to pretend that there is no such thing as a pit bull! |

Pit bull rips his owner’s arm off after owner attempts to protect a woman attacked by the dog in his home: https://www.journal-news.com/news/2-injured-in-west-chester-twp-dog-attack/KUGAWCFLLVF7JFVWNGFCOCVJXM/
This is not normal animal behavior. I can’t imagine another breed with this level of insatiable blood lust. Attacking someone in their own home and then ripping off your owner’s arm? I can’t wait to hear how that’s acceptable because reasons. |
And pray tell me how many dog owners with pit bulls have you interviewed to get your statistics? My dog is smart and I've been training him since he was 3 months old. Right now we are doing agility and yes I neutered him. There are plenty of idiot dog owners with all sorts of dogs. |
