[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people are ignorant. First of all, pitbull is an all encompassing term for 4 different breeds and pretty much every mix in the shelter. That would mean what people consider “pitbulls” accounts for over half of the dogs in the US. So it’s not surprising they are responsible for more attacks. Also, pit bulls are often abused and put in the wrong hands and are not properly trained. Yes, same as people, there are bad ones out there. Though compared to the majority of “pitbulls”, most are sweet and kind dogs. That doesn’t mean all pitbulls should be punished by a ban/being put to death or anything else because there are some bad ones. Should we just ban a race of people because they are responsible for the most deaths? It’s inhumane and every ignorant person who’s grouping all pit bulls into one category of dangerous killers is obviously uneducated and fearful. Maybe take some time to develop more education and humanity for other living things on the planet. Thank you pp! Well said [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People will come out of the wood work here to defend pit bulls but the reality is they were bred for certain traits and they all have the potential to be unsafe. I too know someone who was mauled by one, no warning and they did nothing to provoke it. I wouldn't let one of those murder machines into my home if you paid me and I don't let me kid get near them either. [/quote] what traits? Other than being muscular dogs I don’t think they have other traits that other dogs don’t have. [/quote] Pointers were bred to point, border collies were bred to herd, and retrievers were bred to retrieve. You can try all you want, but you aren't going to teach an English Setter to herd sheep better than a border collie. Pitbulls were bred to fight and enjoy it. They are bred for "gameness", to bite, not let go, and enjoy it. They were bred to not give the traditional signs of escalating aggression, (a snarl, a growl, an airsnap), and to jump right to the bite, hold, and shake. There is often no clear warning when a pitbull is about to attack, when compared to normal dog behavior. That's why, during a pitbull attack, people can beat a pitbull with a baseball ball ( https://nypost.com/2019/10/02/bronx-man-says-he-hit-pit-bull-with-baseball-bat-20-times-to-stop-attack-on-4-year-old/ ), hit it over the head with the leg from a wheelchair ( https://www.local10.com/news/local/2020/09/02/dog-owner-recounts-attack-that-killed-his-mom-and-sent-him-to-hospital/ ) or the cops can show up in the middle of a mauling and taze a pitbull ( https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/local/outreach/back-to-school/arkansas-man-mauled-to-death-by-pack-of-pit-bulls-authorities-say/527-5a6ffda1-626e-4be9-9c60-e6be6ab056db ), and the dog will continue to fight and try to kill. Goldens love to retrieve, and a biting pitbull is in its element. Pictures of pitbulls in flower crowns or tutus do not negate that these are dangerous animals. Any animal can bite, but no one compares a mosquito bite to a shark bite. Other dogs can bite, but a vast majority of maiming and fatal dog attacks are from pitbulls and their mixes. [/quote] Yes, yes, yes! I don’t know why people are so obsessed with these dangerous dogs. I know a few people who are always posting pictures of pit bulls and their babies/young children and it just makes me cringe. I think a certain type of person uses pit bulls as a sort of virtue signal. [/quote][/quote][/quote]
