nedkellylives Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi, Just try to ignore all the ignorant rubbish on here. It is because of people like this that Pit Bulls get such a bad image. Ignorant rhetoric and a hyped up media. There are many dog attacks each year (many of which aren't by pitbulls) by a multitude of breeds but mention "pitbull" and it makes front page news. Further to that this image comes from people who have never owned or had contact with a proper A.P.B.T. See many ignorant people couldn't even identify a proper pitty. They are just lumped in with every bully breed and cross thereof: Amstaff's, bullmastiffs, bulldogs, pigdogs, staffordshire terriers and many others have all been labelled Pit Bulls by an ignorant public. Anyone that knows anything about this wonderful dog knows that the least desirable trait a true Pit Bull can possess is aggressiveness towards humans. It has been selectively bred out of the breed for generations and traditionally any pitty known as a "man-biter" was instantly culled. Anydog can be made to become violent so please stop perpetrating this myths about this wonderful breed of dog. Look up some research and do your homework before you blame one breed for all the wrong doing. I am not saying they are perfect and do have the same potential for violence as any dog but if properly trained and supervised can make a fantastic family pet. 3 generations of owning and raising Pit Bulls in my family and I have yet to see one of my dogs even nip anyone never mind attack them. Ban the deed not the breed! They are called pit bulls because they were bred to be put in a pit and fight to the death Pit bulls and pit bull breeders should be put down IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 People choose these dogs as an extension of their personality. Just look at the people walking them and you'll have to agree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"People choose these dogs as an extension of their personality" - I usually find that people with pitbulls don't have much personality to extend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoisyourdaddy Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Just for the record . I have a pitbull , 5 years old already and she has never bitten or attacked any human being. She hates other female dogs but loves males. Being aware of the problem I put her on a lead whenever in proximity of other female dogs . For those who do not trust one and all that rubbish, easy answer , do not get one. For those who would not want neighbors to have one, easier answer- nobody really cares. My neighbors love my pitbull, they are admittedly afraid of her, but love having her because she keeps the thieves away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is NO, so why blame the dog for owners failures? Considering the amount of pitbuls and other strong breeds around the number so attacks is absolutely minimal, you have higher chance of being hit by a car than attacked by a dog. Not all people are suited to be dog owners and governments should introduce tests for people to pass before being allowed to own any kind of animal. At the moment, i have 2 neighbors that have dogs. Neither of them, ever take dogs out for a walk or to socialize. Both kept in tiny driveway of a space with no grass but tiles. If these dogs ever get out, i am almost certain they will attack anything and everything, but is it the dogs fault? or the owners? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepool Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 "A 9-year (1979–88) review of fatal dog attacks in the United States determined that, of the 101 attacks in which breed was recorded, pit bulls were implicated in 42 of those attacks (42%). A 1991 study found that 94% of attacks on children by pit bulls were unprovoked, compared to 43% for other breeds. A 5-year (1989–94) review of fatal dog attacks in the U.S. determined that pit bulls and pit bull mixed breeds were implicated in 24 (29%) of the 84 deaths in which breed was recorded." Nasty unpredictable animals with an uncertain and ill defined blood line. These animals are banned in many countries. Total eradication of the breed would be ideal but failing that pit bulls should always be muzzled except when securely chained within the owners property .

pistachios Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) OP, if you are - one of the rare dog owner that is competent enough to be able to tame the inner savage beast instinct sleeping in every pit bull - staying in thailand for the next 15 years, assuring you will not leave your child killer at the temple or even worse, giving it to a thai - going to sterilise it ASAP, helping this breed to disappear from the earth - not going to move in the general vicinity of my house, thus avoiding instant death by poison of your dog then go ahead, you can get your vicious dog. <removed> Edited March 17, 2014 by LivinginKata insult removed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post anon11 Posted March 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2014 Am I hearing right you want to buy a pit bull after 28 years in the veterinary industry I can assure you need your head look at these animals are totally unpredictable in any situation their nature is to kill that's it. I have personally seen what these horrible animals can do and I have also had to destroy a countless number of them often own by good people with families THEN it snaps tears other animals apart and savages people beyond belief. You cannot train these dogs you might think you can but it will never happen if you need to prove how tough you are by owning one well you need help. You had better hope and prey that it does not maul some young child or any person for that matter where will you be then ....do a runner I bet. It's a dissapointment that people like you are on this site....go away and have a long hard think ..if you want a loyal safe guard dog I can tell you of lots of breeds that are loyal protective of your home but more important SAFE with people. PLEASE THINK AGAIN PLEASE 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showbags Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 A dog that kills children and even the odd adult, but surely leaves many disfigured......really, poor choice for anyone with a brain....but perhaps its an ego thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 If all you geniuses would look at the OP, this thread is quite old. OP either has or has not got his puppy, which by now would not be a puppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed nearly one year old, so will stop the bickering by closing this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
