I want to know which idiot neighbor has two pitbulls that they don’t keep secured.

I'd like a public list of any a hole who doesn't keep their dogs secured. Sounds like the human(s) got bit trying to breakup a dogfight that never should've happened, and the end result is 2 dead dogs. How sad! Dog owners should be more responsible about securing and controlling their animals.

But... if the "pitbull(s)" in question were really the vicious beasts y'all want to claim, how is anyone alive to tell this tale? This is literally a dogfight. Could've been any breed of dog. It's sad, and the owners of the loose dogs should be fined (honestly, they should be prevented from owning dogs), but this isn't a clear statement about the breed unless you're willing to say no other dogs behave this way, and they literally all can and do.

It's sensational because "someone said pitbull". Someone said pitbull shouldn't be news.

What?! One dog kills a dog and sends two adults to the hospital, and you think that doesn’t make it a vicious beast because the women aren’t dead too? That’s insane. This story would make the news anywhere regardless of the type of aggressive dog involved because gunshots and police sirens in quiet suburban neighborhoods are always newsworthy. It just so happens that, as is so very often the case, the vicious out of control dog turned out to be a pitbull.

Missed the point, eh? This whole thread has pages of examples of ignorant idiots who think pitbulls just kill anything they see for the joy of it. If that were true, the women would be dead too. They're not.

"as is so very often the case" Bro, this doesn't happen "very often" at all, which is why it makes the news. And if you want to talk about how many of the incredibly-infrequent incidents are pit bulls, you need stats on how many "pit bulls" there are vs. other breeds so that the context is factually represented.

All of which has been said on this thread, ad nauseam, but, again, "someone said pitbull" and now... this (again).

Y'all are a trope. It's like TDS. Pit Bull Derangement Syndrome or something...

NP but nobody thinks or has said such a thing, you absolute moron. Seriously, GFY.

"Sends two adults to the hospital" with minor, non life threatening injuries they probably incurred trying to break up a dog fight w/o knowing how (understandable, but still not smart). Again, this doesn't support the "pit bulls attack anything that moves" posturing so many of the haters use to justify their hate.

No one has claimed that pit bulls attack anything that moves.

You are having a weird response to an awful story. The aggressive dog (whatever it's breed), killed this woman's dog. That's terrible. As an animal lover, my heart breaks for the dog and for her.

Disturbing detail: while the police waited for backup, the aggressor was left to EAT THE DEAD DOG in the yard. That's... very upsetting.

If your first response to this story is to launch into a defense of pit bulls because the dog in this story did not also kill or maim two humans, that is a weird instinct.

It's true that we don't actually know if the dog was a pit. Though pits are very easy to spot at this point because they are so common.

The linked story makes clear the aggressor was a pit bull. It is beyond bizarre to me that anyone reads this story and has an instinct to blame the victims of the attack, including a dog that the pitbull ate before it attacked the police officer/officers who put it down.

Goldens haven't been properly bred for temperament for decades, a lot of them are absolutely psychotic, and they very much DO pose a danger to other people. If you're too ignorant to be aware of that, while using them as your "golden example", there's no point in correcting the rest of your craptastic take.

And that's also highlighted by your close. People don't have to advocate for pits. Pits are allowed. Sorry you don't like it. Move somewhere else.

I don't have to have answers for you. You get to leave me and my dog(s) the eff alone at all times unless invited to engage. Period.

Imagine thinking the problem is that people try to engage with your pit bull! I want nothing to do with these dogs and I don’t want them around my kid but so many people try to force you to engage with their dog.

Who are these people who "try to force you to engage with" their "pit bull"? I've never met them. I've met dozens, probably hundreds at this point, of people with dogs on retractable leashes, or off leash entirely, running up into my space and harassing my dog (regardless of the fact that one of them "looks like a 'pit bull'"). I've never once had this happen with a pit. So while I believe that it does, I doubt, strongly, that it happens the way that it would need to in order to justify the hate on this thread, and the pervasive hate of "pit bulls" in general. You probably can't even properly ID any of the 5 breeds you're calling "pit bulls" and even if you could, I doubt completely your story that they're just running up on your kid, left and right, every day, hunting in packs, mauling everyone at least once and twice on Tuesdays.

This is a made-up problem you've likely never personally experienced even once. You read a clickbait article about it, got scared, and decided that your integrity standards allow you to be both willfully ignorant and hateful simultaneously.

Well how about this recent example of "clickbait"? Man mauled to death in a playground by his three XL bully appearing dogs. Not pits, right?

I don't believe XL Bullies are pit bulls becasue they have other larger dogs bred into them

not even that powerful of a bite

Since that a chart of dogs with powerful bites, actually yeah -- it's pretty powerful (though, uh, who even knows if that chart is accurate, that's not a particularly great source). A PP was comparing pits to golden retrievers, not Dobermans. You'll notice golden retrievers aren't on that chart.

Are you okay with people "discriminating" against Rottweilers and Dobermans because the breeding and physicality of those breeds makes them more dangerous? Well that's why people discriminate against pits. It's the same issues, different degree. People also discriminate against dogs based on size all the time, because larger dogs are de facto more dangerous if they do attack (which is a risk with any dog -- even the most docile dogs can be provoked into attack under certain circumstances). So people will often choose to get smaller dogs if they have kids, if they live in a more populous area, etc. It's perfectly reasonable.

Dogs are animals and it's just smart to exercise common sense about them. Getting defensive because some people are not comfortable with pits in certain setting is just pointless. You should know going in that if you get a pit, some people will be wary and not want to be around them. This is the same with other dog breeds. If you want a dog who will be welcomed by more people, get a smaller dog in a breed that is more universally liked. I don't see what the problem is here.
