200 bad doggies

Tex Avery

huh, what?

Oh, thought that was Leslie.

that's a lot of deaths... the argument isn't whether they kill people or not, it is if they are dangerous or not...


My opinion has changed in recent times some what. I believed they should be disposed of for a long time, but a breeder i know made a very good point that changed my view a bit. If you outlaw them out right, to the last dog or variation that wont stop the problem. These morons who want 'fighting dogs' will just selectively choose more aggressive labs or more aggressive rotwilers or whatever they want instead.

Breeders, the real ones, use temperament as part of the selection when they choose them for breeding stock. If they get a dog in their litter that is uncontrollably snappy, aggressive or otherwise unsafe THEY DON'T BREED IT. With pitbulls they do the exact opposite. So everyone coming on here talking about owners raising them wrong, that is only a fraction of the problem. If they started taking responsibility with their breeding practices nobody would ever be on about getting rid of those dogs.

Why anyone would want a fighting dog is truly beyond me, there are so many dogs out there with amazing characteristics and abilities--even dogs that do a better job of protection!

I think you've made the better point in all this.

Its a complex problem. It's breeders. It's owners. It's sometimes just the dogs themselves.

It doesn't boil down to "my dog is great, so there is no problems at all"

or "they are murderers and should all be put to sleep or outlawed"

Denying there is a legitimate problem is stupid.
Thinking there is a simple solution that will make everyone happy is equally stupid.

LOVE IT... its NOT the dogs its the DOG OWNERS!

Thankyou :thumbsup :1orglaugh

I have raised dogs all my life and have had some pretty ferocious ones. The meanest have to be the Chihuahua's those little shits will bite ankles with good behavioral training. Right now I have a Mini Dachshund that is really good but she came from a no-kill shelter and must have been abused or hurt as a puppy because she does not like dark clothed people she will go batshit crazy barking if she doesnt know you or we dont tell her we let them in.

Pit Bulls Attack, Kill Dog In Arvada Neighborhood

Neighbors Say It's Not The First Time These Dogs Attacked

"They grabbed my dog and disemboweled him right in front of me,"

Look at those blue toe nails! How cute. :thumbsup

.

did you read this thread at all? This isn't an argument whether they are deadly or not...

if one person dies from ketchup do you think there would not be a recall?

so you are saying a responsible pitbull owner should keep their dogs away from other dogs completely? This is your solution? This is your argument for them being perfectly safe? This argument works with tigers too then... brilliant.

another one of the stories that come about every day about pit bulls and their reign of terror.

NY woman severely injured by 3 pit bulls

Police in Schenectady say a woman in her 30s suffered severe injuries to her face, arms and legs when three pit bulls attacked her as she walked along a city street.

http://online.wsj.com/article/AP2018...b33139bc3.html

the point is at some time the dogs are going to escape the yard, come off the leash, shit happens.,

and when they do, they tend to kill and maim anything they can get their teeth on.

it's not normal to have killing machines running around the neighborhood maiming little kids.

:pimp:pimp

yeah my point proven. the moment an accident happens and they get out of the yard or off their leash they start maiming and killing people.

that may be normal in the ghetto but not in civilized society. :2 cents:

This is the problem. Again, everyone who loves pit bulls wants to say "its the owners", "you have to be responsible" and so on and so on. NEVER the dogs fault.

Ok, fine. Not the dogs fault. So if owners can be criminally negligent and cause their dog to kill and just can't accept the responsibility that goes with owning a PitBull then how is that different than owning any other thing that kills innocent people and therefore restricting it ownership/use?

Wow... so you still think it's only pits that do this, and all pits do it. :thumbsup for the genius.

we can start a thread about other dangerous dogs as well. this thread is about pit bulls and their threat to society.

:1orglaugh

yet another from google news today http://www.twincities.com/ci_18740399

A separate pit bull-involved attack occurred Monday afternoon in the 1100 block of Ross Avenue East. The dog, Diamond, was not at its permanent residence when it escaped and bit a man walking by on the forearm, Wiese said.

i have reported this thread to Shorty http://www.shortywood.com/shortywood.htm asking for a response.......

*love the show PitBoss!

peanuts need to be exterminated from the earth. it's for the children.

Well I take my pit outside all the time to shit and don't use a leash. She has killed exactly ZERO people. We also have 2 cats. Somehow a year later after getting these cats are still alive. How is that possible being around a pit bull?

I find it ironic that a jew such as yourself are for the extmerination of anything since Hitler used excuses as to why jews should be extinct.

Ok then the same thing with guns too.

i never called for the extermination of anything. just making it illegal to own. like a rocket launcher or a dirty bomb. :2 cents:

pit bull owners don't kill people. the pit bulls do. :2 cents:

no. don't have a rocket launcher either.

you guys talk about other dogs ok. lets check out google news for "Alaskan Malamute."

no maimings ... no children killed .... just

"Four paws up for Woofstock

The Skonesey family from Mokena decided to take its dog, Ace, a 3-year-old Alaskan Malamute, to Woofstock at the last minute.

“When we saw the ad in the paper today we’re like, ‘Let’s go!’ ” Michelle Skonesey said. “As a family we try to do stuff on Sundays. It’s a family day.”

Ace, who is trained in weight pulling and sledding, carried two of Skonesey’s daughters on a large black cart that was decorated with handmade “Woodstock 2011” signs and sparkly garland. Ace won the Most Accessorized contest."

I'm personally a big supporter of the GSD(properly bred and from good lines)... however, I'm also very anti ignorance, so...


You understand that APBT and others that are "real" pit bulls(some breeders throw other shit in there for aggression and call them pits) actually have an incredibly good temperament, especially around children... correct? Up until the middle part of the 20th century, they were considered THE family dog to own. They were only aggressive towards other animals. However... they've always had a bad case of separation anxiety(because their love for humans is so strong).. so, putting them in isolation the first year of their lives will create an incredibly mean dog.

Ignorance is one thing.. ignorance with an emotional, knee-jerk reaction is even worse.

Also.. the GSD, Rott, Belgian Malinois, and Mastiff have WAY stronger bites/jaws than a pit.. pits don't have "lock jaw".. I promise you if my GSD got a hold of you, you'd have a lot more damage than if any pit did. The pit only has something like 230lbs psi of pressure on their bite... Rotts and Mastiffs are 400+.. GSD is about 290+ and BM is about 260+.

Learn some facts before you go on a crusade.

Just because the media doesn't create a bunch of hype around the dog doesn't mean it doesn't happen. 20 years ago it was the Rott/Doberman, before that the GSD... etc., etc.


On an unrelated note, a friend has a Malamute/Timberwolf hybrid and that thing is a beast. He's a K9 officer and has 2 GSD's plus this dog.. they're all super good with his kids.. too good.. nobody can get close to them except him and other kids. :1orglaugh

Well said.

And pits are not very good for protection. GSD, Rott, BM, Dobie, and certain types of Mastiffs are much more suited for the job.

Pit bulls were responsible for 66 mauling deaths of humans between 1979 and 1998 (fatal dog attacks that involved at least one pit bull according), but Rottweilers were recorded for 37 mauling deaths mostly during the 1990s. German shepherds followed with 17, Siberian Huskies at 15, Alaskan Malamutes at 12, and Doberman pinschers with nine

those numbers have to be way off. there were multiple pit bull maulings in the last week.

Wow, you're funny, you say the numbers are off by siting mauling when the numbers Smokey posted reflect deaths. Have trouble with math a lot?
