Just like quite a lot of Humans. Let's ban Humans and all voluntarily euthanize should we?

Total bias.  Billions of humans never killed anyone and what???  PitBulls top the charts for attacks and bites by A MILE.

 

And humans top the charts by much more than a mile for killing other species and themselves!

Indeed. We have similar. Except it doesn't say playful.
We also have a large sign in English and Thai saying no "unauthorized entry - you have been warned".
We live out in the sticks - no neighbors.
Everyone thinks we have an electrified fence - we haven't.
Everyone thinks I have a gun - I don't.
Everyone inc electric meter man, aircon service men etc thinks one of our dogs is from Satan himself - he isn't. Not helped by the one blue eye, one brown eye (Husky mum, Rotty dad). That dog is put in a pen when anybody outside family and friends wants to come into the compound. Which further enhances his reputation.
But that is how we like it.

My situation is very similar to what you describe.

Likewise, I live in the boonies and I like reputation my dogs have ( totally on looks and noise )

Yeah, would have been cool if we had a cat. Designed the signs we have up to show both dogs, German Shepherd and Siberian Husky. Otherwise, because of the difference in temperaments I would have had to put two different signs, simple one for the husky:

 

 

bit more complicated for the shepherd though:

 

 

Choices, choices.......................

Actually I am wondering, do you know any training school for dogs in Thailand ?

I know that Thai do not know what I mean, but maybe enough farangs to be customers at dogs training schools ?

Next time when I get a dog, I don't want him a stupid as me !

One of my current signs vs the sign I want (with the introduction of the Fila I found this one - I doubt any Caucasian signs exist). 

 

She was about 10 months in that and mangy, but has filled out now and grown her hair back.

Some posters have commented before about puppy schools, so they must exist. Probably in the touristy areas. Even if a dud Thai school, it will be great for socialisation. Hard to socialise dogs in Thai with all the diseases and fearful dogs running around.

Not keen on Rottweilers either, they’re, as pit bulls attack dogs and nigh on impossible to stop when they flip, nope, too dangerous to have around, especially near kids.

it all depends on the way you bring then up. If you let them associate with kids from early age they will be playful. If you tie them up or cage them for too long they get aggressive towards everyone and everything. however, as with every big size dogs you shouldn't leave them with kids unsupervised as due to their size and weight they might hurt small people during play (not by biting). Oh, yes, I have rottweilers and I let them play with kids but only when I'm around.

Spare us the 'red tinted thai love thing' everyone knows Thais are less responsible concerning many things including animal welfare. Wake up and walk down any soi to see the rag tag dogs and cats etc.  Pitbulls are dangerous in ANY country, inc. England and Canada you so thoughtfully point out but where they are REGULATED.

Also in western countries a dog that attacks people is put down. Not necessarily the case here.

Humans exterminate so many species, but it's a pity pitbulls et al aren't among them.

Most of us know the answer but forum rules ban saying.

"It was an absolutely grisly mauling," Sheriff Agnew said. "In my 40 years of law enforcement I've never seen anything quite like it. I hope I never see anything like it again."

a good example of how these dogs can go from playful pups to man eating beast

 

 

When deputies found the dogs on Friday they were guarding what police at first thought was an animal carcass.

But the body was Stephens', and police say the pit pulls were eating her.

"I observed, as well as four other deputy sheriffs observed," Goochland County Sheriff Jim Agnew said, "the dogs eating the rib cage on the body".

Did you read any of the other posts?

Pit Bulls could be substituted with any other big dog breed.

Don’t be a hater.....

Is the article implying the Pitbulls are 45kg? That is not a Pitbull.

The human steak the pitbulls were eating weighed 45kg

'The two dogs - who have since been put down with the family's permission - together weighed twice as much as Stephens, who authorities described as "petite" and weighing 100lbs (45kg).'

 

They are massive Pitbull. I would think, like the Australian inquiry found, that the dogs have been wrongly identified. Three quarters of Pitbulls are wrongly identified by officials.

Why do dogs attack their owners?

Why is it I can't own a handgun back home, but I could own a dog that will kill without being ordered to ( self motivating weapon )?

I have no problem with large aggressive dogs joining the long list of animals exterminated by humans.

I think it is more complicated than that. Take Australia for example, we got rid of guns so gun related injuries/death went down.

We also introduced breed specific legislation to not allow these proposed dogs. However, according to the Australian Veterinary Association, breed specific legislation has failed to reduce the number of dog attacks. This is an extract from their webpage:

The failure of breed-specific legislation to prevent dog attacks is due to a number of factors:
•    Breed on its own is not an effective indicator or predictor of aggression in dogs. 4,5,6
• It is not possible to determine precisely the breed of the types of dogs targeted by breed-specific legislation by appearance or by DNA analysis.4,5
• The number of animals that would need to be removed from a community to have a meaningful impact on hospital admissions is so high that the removal of any one breed would have negligible impact.4
• Breed-specific legislation ignores the human element whereby dog owners who desire this kind of dog will simply substitute another breed of dog of similar size, strength and perception of aggressive tendencies.4,5,6

Do we really want to exterminate some sub-species of animals due to human ignorance? Many breeds that would probably be included in your comment are quite useful. Some are preventing other animals like penguins, wolves cheetahs etc from becoming extinct as we speak.
