Pittbulls kill 2 year old and 5 month old
![]() Quote:
How do you feel about PittBull's? I posted this because my wife shared this story with me and my son was just recently participating in a "read to sheltered dogs" event where you could adopt a dog (I know brilliant). I've heard the arguments that PittBull's get a bad wrap, but it seems time and time again they are the focal point of dogs who do these horrible acts. |

2. Would an invisible fence stop you from protecting your children from a threat? Pretend all you want, but an intent dog isn’t going to be stopped by an invisible fence. |

Ripped my cheek off, left me with about 10 scars on my face, and several more on the back of my head. My point is, dogs that have literally been bred to be aggressive should not be around small children. My ex MIL had a friend who had a toddler, and insisted that their pitbull would protect the baby. I said if they keep letting the toddler yank and pull on the dog, that eventually something bad would happen. The parents cussed me out, my ex MIL cussed me out, because their dog would never do anything. Guess what? Yep, the dog attacked the 3 year old. I said that the child didn't deserve it, but the parents should have known better. Basically, if you own an aggressive breed of dog, and you have small children, it's **** around and find out.

This is a very familiar saying in threads where a dog did something "it's never done before" and tore apart somebody's kids |

Getting attacked by a dog is miserable even if no significant injuries.
If you ever get attacked by a dog contact your lawyer ASAP. Put the owners home insurance to use Missouri is full liability state. The owner is 100% responsible for dog bites. The insurance company can only challenge the compensation not the liability. |

Pretty ignorant statement. So how do you feel about black men who are 6 percent of the population but account for 52 percent of murders? Kill em all?
Of course not. I've had two Greater Swiss Mountain dogs and a Rott. All three were the most gentle dogs I've ever had. My roommate in school had a Pitt and I'd wrestle around with that big baby all the time. Gentle as can be. You don't leave a toddler or infant with any dog. Your statement is ignorant. This tragedy is on mom and which ever kid was tormenting the dog. |

I've seen first hand a well-raised family Pit go ****ing nuts over a 10 year old girl walking near a fence.
I thought it was going to take the chain link down trying to get to her. We told her and her dad to get in their car and wait. I looked right at my friend and told him" You better get rid of that mother ****er or it's going to kill a kid". Nicest guy ever, nicest family ever. Dog was great. Just like someone that raises cougars, tigers, etc. They have stuff bred into them that you can not control. |

Aggressive breeds are aggressive. There's only so much nurturing you can do to combat nature.
I have a new rescue that came out of the womb biting and growling. He's an aggressive breed and guess what? He's aggressive. Fortunately he only weighs 5 pounds. |

I've just never understood the need to have a dog like that as a pet. I get the protection issue, but there are better options available. As several people have mentioned, even the ones who are raised correctly by attentive, responsible owners can still snap for reasons known only to the them. You never think it will happen until it does. And while I'm not in the ban 'em all camp, I'm definitely in the wouldn't give a shit if they were banned camp.
