what evidence would you need to see to convince you that pitbulls have violence in them that other dogs dont?

You are defending the most dangerous dog breed on earth. They account for the overwhelming number of fatalities why do you think that is?

1. username checks out.
2. If your cousins have kids they'll eventually get eaten.
Her daughter is still alive, married, has a daughter and a pit bull. You aren't going to change my mind.
We know. This line is muttered by every pit bull owner ad nauseum until one of them finally eats their baby's face off. Time and time and time again. You can't out train genetics.

No **** a pit bull showed up at our farm when I was growing up a started making aggressive moves on one of our horses and my sainted mom went in to the house grabbed her 357 and shot the dog dead. We don't know whose dog it was but she put it down all the same. Worthless animals that should be outlawed.

Have a good that said her pit was an angel. Followed her everywhere. Slept on her bed. One day it flipped. She luckily got in her bathroom and had the call the police. It's dead, now

Someone in my distant family owns pit/lab mix and their son owns 2 and a pit mix.

They went down to visit with their pit/lab mix and it came home with a bunch of stiches and was almost killed.
This same dog is overly alpha and just has the blank stare as if none is home that pitbulls all have. It has tried starting fights with my two dogs. Pisses me off. HATE pitbulls

Only takes one momentary lapse to change someone's life forever. The vast majority of dog owners have quite a few shortcomings. It's not just the obviously crappy owners that are an issue

This is sad. Woman attacked trying to give a guy money. He had a dog with him.

The dog that attacked Davila is being held at Sulphur Animal Control. It is reportedly a pit bull mix.

She'll never get a dime out of that guy and will be scarred in more ways than one for the rest of her life

But pitbulls...

Wow, good Samaritan attacked. That's rough. Hope she recovers at least physically (and can afford the medical bills).

No good deed goes unpunished.

No word on the owner but this dog has been reported in the past.

My family has owned around 10 over the years. 1 was the stereotypical bad dog, and it was bad from puppy all the way to a year old before it was given away. Just aggressive and too energetic. Proverbial screw-loose animal. It was eventually shot by the cops to noone's surprise.

All of the others have been great dogs. One black-sheep member of the family even tried to make his dogs "tough" but they were the sissiest dogs I've ever seen. Luckily he was too dumb to realize that if he spent virtually every minute of every day with his dogs that they just wouldn't develop that aggressive or violent tendency.

To me, pit bulls are like pistols. They are dangerous in the wrong hands, and I believe the owners should be held 100% accountable for negligent ownership. But I'm 100% against either being banned. Owner of the 2 dogs that killed the person should be charged with at least negligent homicide and maybe murder. I think you will fix most of the problem dogs if you actually hold owners responsible for their animals.

That's not bad at all. Only 1 in 10 will kill you.

Probably a couple of cocker spaniels.

Hay, hay, hay, break it up you guys.

ETA - hard to imagine a higher-risk, lower-reward situation to intervene and try to "help" than a fight between a horse and two pit bulls.

Physical strength and ignoring pain, never letting go of what they bite. I mean, that's the dog, not the owner.

It really doesn't matter how determined a Yorkie is for example, it is not going to do the damage a pit bull does.

Why own a dog like that outside of a ghetto?

I was bitten by a friends pit mutt dog growing up. Some half pit bull mix. I can't trust them, my guard goes up when I'm near them, I start feeling adrenaline and my heart racing. It's a mild ptsd response.

Some good news involving what looks like a pit or pit mix.

He is a rescue and saved his elderly owner from an attack by some naked whacko neighbor. In the video it shows the brick the attacker used to beat the elderly man. Looks like a landscaping masonry brick of some sort.

In this case, the dog grabbing and holding on was a good thing.

Look what kind of dog they are hauling out of there.

Trash woman leaves her 13 year-old daughter in charge of a baby with two dogs present that maul the baby, playing tug of war between the dogs and the girl trying to rescue the baby.

The dogs broke down doors.

Just horrible.

Many years back my dad had the first K-9 units in the county. A trainer from Lackland AFB and a PD LEO did all the training, if I remember right.
This is way before the Malinois came on the scene and they almost exclusively used German Shepherds and Labs. The labs were strictly narcotic detection.
They made remarks that the two breeds that would turn on their handlers sometimes were Dobermans and Rottweilers.
Of course, back then they did nothing with pits.
