Why would anyone want pitbull as pet . These demon dogs seem to go nuts and only a gun can stop them

Horrible story that never should have happened

The breed should not be allowed to be in homes that have small children, or any children for that matter. It's a breed unfortunately that should only be allowed to be used as a guard dog. We've seen far too many stories like this one.

The problem isn't so much the Pitbull's, but rather the owners. In this case, witnesses have said that they had seen the owner being somewhat abusive to the dog and training it to be aggressive. The owner is a thin guy with lots of tats and no doubt wants to come across as tough and uses the dog to add to it.

There are three breeds I wouldn't have around children.

Pitbulls
Rottweilers
Doberman

But, that's just me.

A Dobie was our babysitter when we were kids.
like..probably 8 of us from 2-10 or so, 3 families, the dog would keep us out the road
and watch over us.
In another household after I was grown, a pitbull was the house police, watching after the kids.
If something was wrong, she'd bark.
I mean some dogs are just bad of any breed. A lot is how you treat and train them.
Not everything, some are just born shitheads. It happens.

Always blaming the dog................blame the freaking owner

<sigh> here we go again

1. It is estimated that more than 65 million households in the United States have dogs as pets.
2. On average every year in the U.S., insects cause more fatalities (~104) than dogs (~43).
3. For many reasons, including their positive temperament, pitbulls are the most popular dogs in the U.S., more popular than Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Boxers, Huskies, Rottweilers, and many other common breeds.
4. Since 2016, over 80 different breeds and mixed breeds have been reported in fatal attacks, confirming that serious dog bite-related incidents are not a breed-specific issue.
5. The majority of dogs visually identified as 'pitbulls' (by shelters, owners, and the media) do not have DNA signatures from any of the breeds included in the pitbull-type category, leading to exceedingly inaccurate breed information in media reports and unreliable statistics about dog bites.
6. Contrary to unreliable information about breed-specific risk related to certain breeds, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and numerous studies have determined that a dog's breed does not determine aggression, bite strength, or propensity to bite. Studies have determined that the strength of an individual dog's bite is directly related to its overall size and strength, not to its breed.
7. No studies have found that any specific breeds are inherently more dangerous than others.

On the local news in Maryland one evening, the teaser: Coming up: three pitbulls in PG County force man to climb on top of his car and won't let him down. Then, after the commercials, you see news video of these three Labrador/Shepherd mutts running in circles around a car barking at some idiot up on top of it screaming and waving his arms for help like he's being attacked by a herd of lions. Triggering, of course, the non-pitbull dogs. But the headline screams about pitbulls attacking.

And that's all anyone remembers.

They don’t make good guard dogs either.

I know people who have children and have those kinds of dogs also.

They say the same thing.

I just don't trust them from my own experience with them.

Speak for yourself. I had one stop my motorcycle from getting stolen.
He slipped the chain to do it. He was only staying on it for my benefit,
but when 2 dudes came 'round the back yard that he didn't know. Oh!
I woke up to 2 slamming truck doors, come out, see nothing.
Both front gates are wide open. I go to back yard, bike there, dog no there.
I start freakin' out, go out front, and here he comes! Happy as a mofo.
That dog never barked, he just bit if you didn't belong. I didn't think to look for blood.
What happened was I had an ad to sell the bike. So the guys called and said
they'd come by, asked for my address, I gave it to 'em they never showed.
Well, until about 2AM that night when then opened both my gates, backed
up a pickup truck, was gonna throw my bike into it and skedaddle down the road.
Dog slipped the chain and stopped all that from happening.
He was only staying on it to be a good boy for me.

That may be true, but I've never heard of a Labrador killing a human.

Things happen

 

[DukeU]

Things happen

Yep.

People have to make their own decisions and live with them

This family will forever question their decision to have that dog around their baby.

Sad.

Not even searching for that.
It probably does exist, and I don't wanna hear it.

Maybe your price was too high

 

[The Duke]

It probably does, I've just never heard it told.

As bad as some people treat children and dogs, have no doubt multiple times.

 

[The Duke]

Maybe your price was too high

Was it worth their lives?
Lucky it was my dog and not me that saw them. Muzzie boy.
That dog was a good hog dog. I think Dixie might have been his mom, she was, too.
One day him and Dixie and this other dog got onto this uh..
yearling boar, well they got him. Friend's brother had to butcher it that night.
It even took them under water. Oh! that's when we had to kill it.
Slit its throat. Dogs had it every which way. It was gonna drown Dixie.
Nobody wanted that hog to die that day, but it happened.
I was wanting to go bowfishing. That's where we were headed.
Wonder if that's still there. The Johnboat and bowfishin' rigs won't be. Grawr!
