I biased against and fear pitbulls/their owners  because personal experience but cant say I have not experienced aggression from other dogs. Like rottweiler, after being invited into the owners home. Overprotective. Giant Schnauzers, scary.  Decades ago you did not see pitbulls except in a junkyard. I have a scar from being attacked by an aunties Spitz too young to remember who keeps a Spitz? Also did not see any  dogs in supermarkets (prohibited), people strutting through airports with fake service animals snarling at each other,  even letting them defecate on the terminals indoor concourse then walk away.

 

Call them on  it they become aggressive just like they will fight you over a mask. We are doomed.

(Unbelievably, it's happened before, but in that case the owner died as a result of his injuries.)

 

No... Sadly its quite believable because of the amount it happens - there are regular reports in Thailand of these types of dogs attacking people...

I fully agree, the issue is that the owners often really do not know what they are doing. These dogs can be very good to kids since they have a very high tolerance for pain. So if a kid steps on them or pulls the ear this would be tolerated by the dog. I have friends with Pit-Bulls which are absolutely great with kids. Another issue is if they bite due to the power they have it poses an issue. Whereas a small dog bites there my be only a little bruise.

And do not forget this is Thailand. All houses are normally fenced-in at least if you have a alone standing house. No postman just "enters" no kid kust "enters". At least my gate is closed and you need to ring the bell. Sirely if you have dogs this is a MUST to prevent what happened in this case!

That dog doesn't some killer looking pitbulls

There is simply no place in this world for savage pets. None. Put that dog down asap. And penalize the owners. Big time. A million baht fine paid to the victim should send a message to other pathological super freaks who own animals bred to maim. Pit bulls are statistically the nastiest dogs in the planet. If the owner can't afford the fine, how about mandatory forfeiture of their home, as compensation?

Regardless of the value. It sends a message.

Once a dog has tasted blood ( human )  it can never be trusted. The police have guns they should have used it at the time.

Yep, she definitely has more money than sense. With the a2mount of stray dogs and cats in need of a home here, I've never really understood those that feel the need to buy an expensive breed in order to 'show off'.

 

Unfortunately they didn't have those 2 breeds she wanted at the stray cats home, but a couple of months ago someone who she knows their cat was hit by a car, the person couldn't pay the vet bill, 30,000bt, so she paid it for her. I reckon that'll do, or was she showing off?

Nice try.... but this one really can’t be polished by a website called ‘alpha-paw’ !!! 

 

The nbc article was a bit disappointing - the links ‘why do dogs chase their tale’ and ‘dogs feel sorry for humans’ didn’t work....   (reckon nbc were so embarrassed they removed ‘em !)

 

 

You like links... here you go...

Another reason to regulate the keeping of Pitbulls. They are more riskier than wild Leopards. So many people worldwide suffered the same fate yet the Pitbulls are still found unchained and unguarded.

Feel sorry for this lady.

I feel sorry for the kids who’s faces will be ripped off.... the families of those with maimed love ones or who lose loved ones due to an attack by a dog of a widely known as a dangerous dog... 

 

.... And all because an owner believes ‘my dog is ok, its well trained... look, it even plays with children’ !!!!

So they knew it was an aggressive animal ? Should lock the entire family up for 20 years for negligence

A bit excessive, 5 would be enough and only the owner

Ban Pitbulls, ugly dangerous dogs, bred by sociopaths.

Nah.

Do the right thing.

Ban Pit Bulls

The kind of people who choose this breed of dog are exactly the type of people who should never ever be allowed to own dogs.

Cool story...   cool but stupid.

 

My brother had a Chow for 7 years. No problems whatsoever until one day he reached down to get the dog's food dish to refill like he had done all those years and the Chow, for no reason, bit him on the face. He had to have 16 stitches and still wears the scar 23 years later.

 

He loved that dog but without hesitation he had her put down.

The first person ever to receive a  'face transplant' was a French woman. and the dog that caused the injury was her own, yes you guessed it, Golden Labrador.

 

 

Just one small detail, a Golden Lab is a different breed from a Golden Retriever.

Of course not... because you can predict the future... a kid will never come into your area, right ?

 

Of course, no one does... In fact I’m going to get a Pit Bull to protect our house from all those people trying to get in and attack my Wife and I.....   its a small price to pay if a kid gets attacked... right ?

 

 

Are you suggesting your house requires the same protection has a high-target government facility ??

 

Thats all a bit too much ’its our right to bare arms and defend our property and our rights’ type spiel... 

 

 

 

You mean...  even kids should know to stay out and they won’t have their face chewed off by a dog with can’t tell the difference between a harmless child and a burglar.... 

 

 

 

My Jack Russells over the many years I have kept them have never bitten any human.

I don’t need you to tell me how to live my life.

It sounds to me that you are suffering from a severe state of Nanny State Syndrome always trying to interfere and foist your views on others.

One reason I chose to leave Australia was because of the Government and people like you.

Couldn't be from the UK by any chance, had a lot of whinging Poms in Australia.

 

This breed of dog is never aggressive and they never bite anyone.............until they do.

It's important that owners of fierce dogs provide appropriate warning signs, specifically signs that include pictures of the dogs in question so potential miscreants know they should be afraid. Very afraid.

Sounds like a natural born predator, quiet and deadly. Hold the owner responsible for having an autonomous weapon for a "pet"

People who use phrases like ’nanny state’ are the first to start crying when they get slapped by a local and need ‘go fund me’ to pay for their medical bills....
