You’ve posted these photo's before... lovely pics and its great to see to your well trained dog playing with the kids. But... A photo means nothing, because they can easily be countered with attack-stats and horrific pictures. Every PitBull owner claims their dog is well trained..... So what about everyone elses ? Clearly not all the PitBulls are well trained otherwise the attack stats wouldn’t be so damning. Either PitBulls require extra training, or they attack to readily when insufficiently trained. Its not just PitBulls, any dog of ’size’ needs to be well trained. A Chihuahua is a nasty little Ba3t@rd but its unlikely to do much harm to a 10 year old child. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Monday Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Any large breed can be dangerous The problem is with pit bulls certain bloodlines have been bred for all kinds of aggression and so many people appear to WANT dangerous dogs. Huge problem in US half the dogs I see walking are pit bulls now. One reason, the dog-pounds and rescue centers are full of them. The owner of any dog should be charged with the offenses of their animals cause, as if they committed it themselves. In this case assault causing grievous bodily injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not really ‘dramatic’ - just calling a spade a spade.

There is a large ‘grey area’ with this subject and it's not as black and white as many of us like to think. I disagree with owners of PitBulls and such dogs who claim their dogs are harmless - they are wrong, just wrong. They may have a well trained dog, but a dog is never 100% trustworthy. Those who have such dogs and don’t look after them or train them properly have crossed the line into the ‘wrong’ IMO... Those who have trained their dogs extremely well, loved and looked after them extremely well are at the other end of the spectrum towards ‘right’... but they should never forget there is always an element of risk with any animal and when that animal is as powerful as a PitBull with such instincts greater care has to be taken to avoid tragic consequences. Finally, those who are arguing... My dog is lovely, so all PitBulls are lovely are also wrong, clearly not ALL PitBulls are lovely, hence the stats. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual it's not the dogs it's the owners nonsense. My pitty would not hurt a fly and loves my kids- until they don't and attack. There is no evidence training makes any difference, there is plenty that the most dangerous dogs in the world are Pit Bulls, trained or not. The breed is banned in 12 countries and several states for a reason- they are not fit to be pets, they are far too dangerous! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labeling it a 'defensive weapon' is just silly. My girlfriend and I would also protect the property and each other from intruders, does that make us 'defensive weapons'? It's a dramatic play on words to try and make your point. It's a well trained, medium sized dog. End of. There are also 6 Thai dogs outside the PitBull's fenced area, are they all defensive weapons as well? Or just the Pitbull? Of course it doesn't 'attack anyone entering the property', for a start he has an enclosed exercise yard attached to the side of the house where he hangs out when he's not in the house so you'd have to be dumb enough to climb into there first. We recently had builders round to build a new garage and as soon as the dog knows you are 'with us' he is absolutely fine. The builders were scared of him at the start of the job and were sharing their lunch with him and playing with him by the end. It's amazing what reality and experience can do to unfounded ignorance/prejudice. Dogs have good instincts and if someone is breaking into the house in the middle of the night and he senses that we are not happy about it (tense, shouting at the intruder etc.) then he will absolutely protect us and the property. There's a simple solution to that, don't break into our house. If you do and you get bitten, that's what's known as instant Karma. I agree that they need to be trained, same as any dog and especially powerful ones. My sister has a Doberman on her UK farm and he is also trained and friendly, but I wouldn't advise roaming around their property unannounced. Same goes for Mastiffs, Rottweilers, German Shephards, Akitas, Ridgebacks etc. In the wrong hands they can cause problems. Which brings us back to the original point, bad owners. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labeling it a 'defensive weapon' is just silly. Some people ornamental shot-guns mounted on their walls.... the owner would argue they are ornaments, anyone else recognises they are ‘weapons’ - the compromise might be they can be used as ‘defensive weapons’.... IF you wanted a dog which is just going to bark and alert you to the presence of someone.. why not get a poodle ??? IF you only wanted a loving pet, why not get a cockapoo ? IF you wanted a pet that can attack and injure someone, get a dog that has been bred to attack and inflict pain and damage to an intruder - that’s a weapon.... there’s no dressing that up. Such animals are bred for their potential ferociousness - thats the way it is. But lovers of these breeds always try and mask this facet of the dogs breeding. 51 minutes ago, JonnyF said: My girlfriend and I would also protect the property and each other from intruders, does that make us 'defensive weapons'? It's a dramatic play on words to try and make your point. Have you and your girlfriend been bred to develop additional power and aggression beyond normal humans ??? This is not a ‘dramatic play on words’ its just a description of what these dogs are, they are 'defensive weapons', the are also loving pets, they can be very good a both... but when raised pooly they are a danger to the community, when raised well, they are an ever present risk only an reckless owner would ignore. 51 minutes ago, JonnyF said: It's a well trained, medium sized dog.

Agreed - ALL of the dogs mentioned are potentially highly dangerous and should only be owned by responsible, capable and caring owners with a licence proving they have the training, funding and space to care for and train such animals so they never have an opportunity to attack someone.

More attacks / More deaths - identifying that other dogs have attacked does not diminish, reduce or normalise the incidence of PitBull attacks.

As I and many others have said in various posts and threads, why don't YOU take in every stray dog in Thailand, feed them all, keep them all locked up safely until they die of old age. I agree with EVERY dog being registered and licensed plus the owners as well. In western countries this works most of the time, but in Thailand very few Thais will accept the responsibility and if it is forced on them the majority of the owners will simply dump the dogs on the streets. NOW, if you can fix that problem, then in a few years there should be no soi dog problems. "I've just run over a dog near your house and killed it - sorry" "Oh my Buddha, he was from an ex Cruft's champion litter and cost me 5,000 baht!"
