Some people have an axe to grind and these threads satiate that need.


No. Some people have been on the terrifying end of this dogs base mentality that were raised as a family animal.

And exposure to terrifying situations always leads to reasoned and sane reactions. Proceed. Lolz

Rationalizing those experiences is insanity.

Edit: go ahead and tell me Chicago "really isn't that bad".

I don't have a star, so I don't have the wide variety of emojis as you. But you can imagine me laughing at you.


And I still have my little buddy with me.

Probably for the best.

Edit: Love that you didn't address a single thing I said. CM confirmed.

Sorry.

Didn't mean to post facts on here. I apologize...

Edit: If these dogs aren't being worked, they are a huge liability. Maybe even then.

40 years ago I had an encounter with a pit as I was riding my roping horse back from a friends arena. I'm clip clopping down the street in a crappy neighborhood when a fat jerk and his even fatter wife sitting on their front porch sicced their pit on my horse, I guess for fun or to see what would happen. I heard them do it and next thing I knew a brown blur hurled itself at my mare's shoulder. It hit hard but fortunately did not get a good grip and fell back. The horse exploded under me and went insane for a minute. Now I don't know if any of you boys have ever ridden a sure enough buck with steel shoes on a paved street, but it ain't fun. Meanwhile the pit ran in to grab a hind leg. As my horse launched for the sky under me on about the third jump she mule kicked that damn dog and caught him square. Sounded like a baseball bat on a walnut tree. I do believe it killed the dog. When I got my horse under control about two houses down I looked back and the fat gal was screaming and pulling her hair while the husband was trying to carry a very limp dog off. So I have no use for the breed, damn dangerous animals. Took me awhile to get that horse back in her groove for heeling.


Joyful story
That dog was trying to kill your horse
Owners should be sued too

They're the most dangerous dogs on the planet. Anyone arguing otherwise is ill informed.

Good enough for me. We have less years data on Covid and it shut the world down.

I gave you facts.

While it's very sensational when it happens, it's still pretty rare.

Over 17K people die every year in the US from slipping, tripping, and falling...we should outlaw walking.

Context does matter a little.

Of the German Shepherd's and Rottweiler's how many of those bites were on suspects, that were running from the po-po?

I know the canines where I work, like the human chew toys.

Facts exist, but the term pit bull is an ill defined term and the media is notorious for expanding the term to sell clicks. What is a pit bull? Lots of different breeds within that term from Spuds McKenzie, Bulldogs, staffordshire terriers and about 10 other breeds.

I paid $2,600 for my buddy. He came from a very respected breeder.

If they were an airplane, very few would board. It's all you need to know. I don't care of slips. I care about the most dangerous dogs and that's the discussion we're having. It seems lost on you.

Agreed wholly. I would say any staff, APBT, and any boutique dog bred as a "bully". Especially the short wides.


Very good point.

I'm pointing out that it's not nearly the sensational thing that everyone here is making it out to be. There's LOTS of things more dangerous than ANY kind of dog.

Hell, this board is HEAVILY pro-gun. But, accidental discharges are WAY more dangerous than dogs. But, that's not sensational.

But, I get that context is immaterial to this thread so I'm going to bail on it...

My family was given a pit when I was 10. Dog was great for many months. Very sweet until one day the neighbors dog came over to our farm to play. Friendly neighbor pup that we knew. Pit went nuts and killed it. It was scary. That was the end of that dog. I'm all for freedom of choice but these dogs can not be controlled when they are triggered. Sam thought he was protecting us and we couldn't stop him. He wouldn't stop until he killed that much smaller dog.

There are for sure! Unfortunately this thread is focusing on the dangers of certain breeds and not sky diving. It is what it is. Hell, hammers are probably more dangerous than pit bulls but that isn't the discussion.

When you're discussing banning things, I think context is VERY important.

So more fatal than all other dog breeds combined by a pretty good margin

Only 6% of dog owners have pit bulls. The vast majority of people won't come in close proximity to one. However, if you do, you better have your head on a swivel and be ready. Context does matter. Also, if your child plans on visiting a friend's house you might want to find out what kind of dog they have. If you are walking your dog and see a pit bull off leash get the F out of there.

Just remember, if you have friend's with guns, you've got more of a chance of dying from an accidental discharge.

So...keep your head on a swivel when you visit them.

Pools don't act on their own.
