pitbulls

I was still referring to Indiana's size in pop not area. Yes it's 16h in pop but it's still not big IMO, at least not to have other states follow suit in legislation.

 

For being the 38th biggest state by land mass and the 16th biggest by population I'd say that skews things just a bit, IMO, but I do see where you're coming from.

 

They should be banned, I was attacked by one, I was just a kid, the owner said his dogs were friendly, I go to pat it and it fucking jumps up and latches onto my face. I love dogs, but not those.

 

Shephards are just as dangerous in the wrong hands, and sometimes more so..... Just because you had one bad experience doesn't condemn a whole breed.

If a human being had assaulted you as a kid, would you call for termination of their species? Cause humans injure and kill more kids each year than dogs... by a long shot..

 

Need I remind I acknowledge this earlier, but referred to in different term.

I actually looked up and read about pitbulls before I got one, so I'm looking at them how they are today not 30-40 years ago. Hell even 30-40 years ago pits were largely used as home pets not working farm animals just as they are today. My point is simply if you breed your pit to fight and kill it will do so, if you breed them with love and good social surroundings it will be a model for love and good social standing. Far as the killer instinct all dogs have it (esp in groups), hell even cats have a prey-drive which fuels their needs to kill small fuzzy animals and dogs to kill cats etc.

 

so, let me get this straight. you are right because:
1) your uncle bred dogs for the purpos of taking down feral livestock and killing them
2) b/c wikipedia said so

lmao, such a lame excuse for an intelligent response to why pitbulls are dangerous.
bonkai, you are right, they were bred for bull baiting and even babysitting. whoda fuckin thought?

breedism is like racism. there is no factual basis for the argument that pitbulls as a breed are entirely more dangerous than any other breed. but, i do know one fact, as a veterinary technician the only breed i'vebeen bitten by was a dachshund (twice). ban dachshunds! another fact is that if i brougt my pit out into a field of livestock, she would run up to them and get kicked in the face for sniffing too long.

 

my friend is a single woman. i have to be very careful around her pit because im one of the only males the dogs ever around.. shes always all like "she wont bother you" and im like "patty ive known you for how many years? and you been raising these dogs since ive known you,,dont give me that shit lol "..

like i said, i have no problem with the breed,but if they are not familiar with something their instincts can and will kick in..i have seen it with my own eyes more than once and it wasnt because of the way they were raised,its because of the way they were bred..

 

the fact is the breed WAS bred as a catch dog. a champion bloodline will always have that instinct.
you keep saying i am wrong and im not.

it has zero to do with what you breed it for unless you cross breed it. a pedigree pit was bred as a catch dog. just because people make pets out of them doesnt mean that is suddenly not what the breed was made for.

you cant change facts just because a dog is no longer used for that purpose.it is still what the breed was bred for.

watch how many times that dog goes for the face... and how smart he is to clip the legs to take him down...

any dog can be scary if you make it...

 

no i am right because EVERY SINGLE PIT BULL SITE ON THE WEB SAYS I AM RIGHT!!

they were ORIGINALLY bred as a "catch dog" not for anything else..

no i am not wrong..

ONCE AGAIN, JUST BECAUSE FOLKS USE THEM AS PETS AND NO LONGER WORK THEM DOES NOT MEAN THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY WERE BRED FOR.

I really dont see why that is so hard to comprehend..

 

AND FTR. i have never said the breed was any more dangerous than any other dog. i have said over and over and OVER again that put in unfamiliar surroundings the breed can be dangerous, and as someone else has said, that applies to a lot of dogs..
once again, i have no problem with the breed..

 

there are a lot of reading comprehension issues around here....

 

It's not just one bad experience, it's common that people (and other animals) are attacked by pit bulls. I don't blame the animal, it's just their nature, but even still, they shouldn't be domesticated because they can't be domesticated.

 

obviously..

i know these folks are just defending the breed, but you cant change a simple fact..

hell a rottweiler was bred for the same reason. they are known as "the butchers dog" for a reason.. and i say the same about them, your asking for trouble putting them in a unfamiliar environment if your not going to be right there with them..

 

It's not just one bad experience, it's widely reported that people have been attacked by that breed, and other animals as well. I don't blame the animal, it's just their nature, but even still, they shouldn't be domesticated because they can't be domesticated.

 

ignorance


i agree with the other stuff you said but that last statement is just dumb.

 

It's widely reported that more humans kill and injure other humans than any dog on the planet... so....

 

I own a Pitbull.

He is a little dumb but he is friendly and sociable.

Unless you do not belong on the property..

 

i agree. canis familiaris is by definition domesticated.

 

It's not dumb, that's their temperament, ok, if you live on a farm, or you strictly keep them locked up on your property, that's fine, but they should be banned from being out in public.
