This is why I HATE pitbulls.
 

2 pitbulls got into the fenced yard and attacked my dog tonight.

I'd post pics but I was in more of a hurry to get him to the vet than to fuck around with a camera.

This is the first round estimate. He's going under the knife in about an hour.

The cops said they would have shot the other two dogs on sight.

jesus christ man

my cat got into a fight a few weeks back and the other cat sliced her foot up pretty bad, we didn't catch it til it was absessed and the vet bill ended up being $500

I am not a fan of pitbulls. Had one living in my house months back. Our live in babysitters boyfriend bought her one. It was a puppy, but the little fuckers grow fast and are strong. She got sent on her way pretty quick.

If you lived in France your dog would get free health care.

damn that sucks what are they gonna do about those 2 dogs?

Damn man, shitty in so many ways! I hope your dog recovers.

thats the idiot owners fault for not having their dog contained, they should be the ones the police shoot. i walk my pitbull all the time and the only dogs that attack us the the little dogs that weigh about 5 pounds or so.

I would of gotten pictures as well just to have them when you sue the owners like you should.

I am not anti pit bull, but do not even begin to tell me they are not violent by nature which can kick in with any proper training. It is their genetics and you can not train that completely out of anything.

That blows. Pitbulls are breed for one thing only and have been through the ages. It seems like the people that own these dogs fall into one of two categories.

1) Those that are breeding and fighting these dogs.

2) Those that are too ignorant or just plain stupid to know what they have on their hands.

All you have to do is watch your local news and you'll occasionally see a story about some child or another dog that got attacked/killed - and of course the dog 'seemed so friendly and never attacked anyone ever before' as it is brought to be put down.

Aaron, I hope 'Cayman' makes a full recovery. BTW - Where do you do your banking?

The vet is taking pics for me. The two dogs got away. If I ever see 2 pits in the neighborhood not on leashes, I will kill them.

Damn you do not know who owns them?
Shit I would hunt that shit down and find out who owns them just to fuck with their world and get their money.

Spent about 15 minutes driving around the neighborhood after I left the Vet.

I have met about 3 or 4 pitbull owners. None of them were nice. And when I asked one to take his dog away from a childrens park he reacted poorly. Your choice of dog reflects who you are as a person.

Thats why in genereal pitbull owners are not very nice people.

harsh man, atleast get pics of the guys broken nose...

FIND THE PITBULL

Aaron,

OMG, I honestly don't know what I would do if a dog or anyone messed or attacked my dog. I think everyone on this board and in my life knows just how crazy I am about my dog. I can only assume that everyone loves their dog just as much so my heart goes out to you my dear. This is some jacked up jacked up crap you shouldn't be going through. The vet bill is just the cherry on your poop Sundae.

Hope your pooch is going to be okay and that you can at least get those dogs captured and euthanized.

I hear you there man...same thing happens to me. People seem to think that just because a dog is small that it doesn't need to be trained/well behaved. I have personally been bitten by several of those tiny poodle type dogs, that doesn't mean that all of that breed will be the same. It is the responsibility of the owner to have their dog under control, no matter what type of dog it is. Some people just shouldn't have dogs.

What people need to understand is that dogs are individuals. So saying that a dog is bad or vicious because of it's breed is truly a racist statement. It's no different than saying a person is bad/violent or whatever because they are black or white or Hispanic or some other race, some people are just not bright enough to realize that. Just because 95% of all serial killers are American I don't think it would be appropriate to say that all Americans will be serial killers.

I know quite a few pit bulls and pretty much all of them are extremely affectionate and love to be around people, the media has done a great job in breeding ignorance in the masses in regards to pit bulls:mad:

A very high percentage of owners of aggressive breeds have criminal records.

honestly - put up posters in the neighborbood offering a reward for finding out the name of the owner. Owner MUST live with a mile or two. Someone will rat him out. Sue him and have his dogs put down. Do not shoot them or you will end up in legal problems - let the police deal with it and they will if there is violent pit pulls attacking dogs and possibly children in your neighborhood.

I used to think that as well. I learned the facts and the science. I also know that you can not compare a human with an animal when making such an argument. They were breed for certain traits and still are if they are pure breeds.

Proper training may and ussually does prevent most accidents or acts of the dogs true nature. Yet very damn few dog owners properly train any type of dog be it those annoying ankle biters to golden retrievers.

Aaron, do you need any cash to help you out with the vet bill? I can send you a few bucks for that.

99.999% of pit bulls born today are NOT bred for fighting. Through the ages? Do you think pits are thousands of years old? 99 % of all breeds are less than 300 years old. In fact genetically speaking there is less difference between a Chihuahua and a Great Dane than their is between human races. German Shepards have killed their fair share of people. I have been attacked by one. I've never been attacked by a pit. Pits aren't the bad ass of dogs. An Akita could tear a Pit apart like a rag doll.

Yes and certain dogs are worse to have over others.
Specially around children, hell look at assorted dog breeds and it will plainly say they do not do well with children with a proper warning. Cause they know the truth about their breeds and are not trying to play the deny game.

I'm sorry about your dog, and I'm sorry this owner failed to socialize the dogs in his care; he should be punished harshly and at this stage the dogs may be unsaveable :(, but don't misdirect your anger toward what may or may not have been any specific breed. I do a lot of volunteer work at an animal shelter and I can assure you that any breed can be abused and any breed can be dangerous if not properly raised. I'll likely meet a few neglected pitbulls tomorrow, but it's no riskier than working with any other breed. Honestly, they're some of my favorites and the most resilient little guys. Unfortunately they're also the favorites of some real assholes. :Oh crap Not their fault for being popular with the wrong kind of people though.

Agreed, It's all about responsible ownership!

Man, sorry to hear that. I'm not necessarily an 'anti' fan of any particular breed. I owned 2 Rotties for many years and they sometimes get a bad rap. I mostly blame it on the owners. If you know you own a breed that has lethal potential you best ensure you train and contain your animals and treat/raise them in such a way that they are not a threat to anyone. I took this responsibility seriously since mine were puppies...no play biting, not even a little bit. As for getting loose in the neighborhood, no fuggin way.

Actually I have one now (pitt) in my neighborhood that I feel horrible, but have to call the authorities on. It's gotten loose 20x too many lately and finds itself very comfortable in my yard chasing cats, squirrels, etc. With a small child in the house I know that's a combination that can easily lead to a bad place. I'd rather not have a mauled child, a dead dog and neighbors later so I will be placing the call this week. Thanks for the reminder. :/


PS: Yes Akita's are bad ass. I grew up with a German Shepard/Akita mix. She was loyal to the family but would destroy any and all animals that made it into our backyard.

it's about fucked up owners of those 2 pitbulls , dont get things mixed.

I agree with you that an Akita could tear a Pit apart, but as far as the '99.999% of pit bulls born today are NOT bred for fighting', I can't go for.

WIKI - Countless attacks show just how unsuitable this breed is for some people. Any pit bull that shows human aggression of any form should be euthanized and not once bred.

You don't hear of Akita or German Shepard fighting rings anywhere, but you do hear about Pit Bull fighting rings all the time. As a matter of fact, just last summer, there was a big thing here about that on the news and we've seen mentions about it since. I am sure this is not a situation just in our city either.

I had a dog much more "powerfull" and bigger then any pitbull you ever saw, my friends and family let their kids play with the dog, sure thing, we were watching around, but still... you get the point.

I think it should be a relatively easy thing to convince any court (if need be) that the owners of the pitbulls should be footing the cost of that bill for you, at the very least.

This is a pretty informative site American Temperament Test Society, Inc

The American Temperament Test Society, Inc. (ATTS) is a national not-for-profit organization (registered in the state of Missouri) for the promotion of uniform temperament evaluation of purebred and spayed/neutered mixed-breed dogs.

ATTS was established to:

Provide for a uniform national program of temperament testing of purebred and spayed/neutered mixed-breed dogs.
Conduct seminars to disseminate information to dog owners, dog breeders and evaluators (testers) concerning dog psychology, motivation, reaction and other aspects of temperament testing.
Recognize and award certificates to dogs that pass the requirements of the temperament evaluation.
Work for the betterment of all breeds of dogs.
Select, train, prepare and register temperament evaluators.

ATTS Breed Statistics

Pitbulls and staffordshire terriers were among the highest scores of all breeds tested beating out the beagle and bearded collie.

Although the dogs that are being tested though are surely the dogs with responsible owners. You most certainly will not see someone that is breeding the dogs for fighting or that have been mistreating them in some other way bringing them in to be tested.Those people just don't care. I mean if you look at some of the things they do to these poor dogs to train them for fighting would make any breed of dog unstable or vicious.

The little bastards are banned in the UK.

And did the dogs organize this "sport"? Or the people? There's your answer. :disgust

thats no reason to hate all pit bulls , just a good reason to hate THOSE pitbulls..

You wouldnt hate all black people simply because 2 of them caused 2 grand worth of damage to something you own..would you ?

you would run out of things to hate pretty quickly.. :winkwink:

ALL dogs show agression towards humans on occasion. Kill them all I guess. Like I said I was bitten by a German Sheppard UNPROVOKED. I was in my own yard and this was a dog that lived else where in the neighborhood. So all German Sheppards should die so I don't have to worry about that again.

Considering Akita pups can go for $500-$1000 a pop no I don't think you would. Not to mention Pits outnumber Akitas 50 to 1 at least.

You know because they are the "bad ass" breed of the day. Back in the 70's when I was a kid it was the Doberman which was the "killer" dog. And dumbass people that want to make a buck think Pits are the shit so that's why they use them. What did they use before Pits? Because dog fighting has been around longer than Pits.

I want to add I could take ANY breed of dog and if I train him to be aggressive he will be.

Oh by the way my pit is afraid of thunder, the vacuum cleaner, firecrackers and the dark. Real fucking bad ass isn't she? My dog wouldn't even finish pissing outside on the 4th because everyone was lighting off fireworks. As soon as she heard even just a firecracker she ran as fast as she could to ge to the house where she would shake uncontrollably. She's that way with thunder too.

Did this happen after we talked? If so, never say "it can't get worse" ever again.

once i was bitten by this type of dog.. I went and gave the bastard a nice tender meat with lots of sleeping pills mixed with ecstasy... u should see the dog LOL out of this world

You are a fucktard. Don't breed. Kill any resessive genetic freaks you've already spawned then yourself.

Holy shit.


Time for poison.

Pitbulls should be banned.
:2 cents:

Sorry to hear about your dogma, AaronM. At least you were able to get it to the vets and save it.

I don't blame you one bit. I hope you do it tho, I fucking hate Pit Bulls. They should all be destroyed at birth. One attacked my Labrador when he was just 3 months old. Luckily I got to it before he could do any damage, he was just about to and I kicked that fucker and picked my pup off the ground. The Pit Bull then walked out infront of a car and got hit (not at much speed) and rolled round and got straight back up.

They're hard as nails, make sure you give the fuckers a few bullets.

sorry to hear that man, its not only the undeserved pain for your pet, but the financial loss as well. The retarded owners should be taken to task for letting their animals run lose. If you can find them, BUT dont take the law intoyour own hands 2 wrongs dont make a right, it would just compound the problem.

My next door neighbor has several pit bulls, he's a nice older man that takes good care of them.

They seem nice enough but a couple of months ago one got out and attacked and killed the girl across the street's schnauzer.

He had it put down, but he still has 2 more and it's hard not to worry when I've got 3 year old and 3 month old daughters.

I hope you find those beasts, Aaron.

I really hope Kamen will be alright... I can't imagine how scary that must have been for him, or for you.
If I were you at that point, I'd have been out for blood, for sure.

oh man- really sorry to hear that, and I wish you had a way of finding out who owns them. I have several animals including a moluccan cockatoo that cost alot every time I visit the vet... but to have your own friend attacked by dogs that are designed for anger would send me on a mad rampage to find the assholes who can't put a leash on them. what if that was an actual child? the situation is the same - the owners need to be found

sorry again my friend
