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. |

But what they have is zero margin for error. They're less likely than some shitty little terrier to get a wild hair and try to truly aggressively bite someone. But if they do get that wild hair, the damage is immense. Beagles, for instance, aren't on anyone's 'dangerous dogs' list, but they can be real shitheads. For my experience, they're more hair trigger and inherently 'aggressive' than a rot. But when they get shitty, they can't rip anyone's throat out. That's why mastiffs end up on those lists. Very few of them lose their shit, but if they do, the damage is extraordinary. Those jaws are just so powerful that even a small, seemingly momentarily lapse in judgment, will do far more damage than a designed, prolonged, aggressive episode from most any other breed. |

He hated moose and he went chasing a moose on our property one time. It was a mother moose with a calf so it wasn’t a big bull moose but still probably about 800 pounds. We could hear him barking and the moose huffing and chuffing. Then we hear this though ‘THWACK!’ It was like hitting a side of beef with a baseball bat. The dog yelps and comes limping back to the house. He limped for almost a week. But to be kicked by a moose and just limp. No broken bones or death? One solid dog. |

And that dog was extremely sweet. We have pictures of my (then) 2 yr old climbing all over her. But then again, that kinda gets back to what I was saying - she was a low drive, lazy ass Presa. Ultimately a fairly poorly bred dog from dipshits who were running a breeding ring with no idea what they were doing. She simply wasn't what a Presa is supposed to be - that's not how they're wired. |

Not a fan of those dogs. Definitely wouldn't feel safe with my kids outside if a neighbor had them out. Went to a bonfire years ago at a friend's who had 2 Pits and they were pals for years and suddenly at the bon fire they began fighting each other to the death. No idea why...they were trained supposedly too. Took several people to separate them and get their arms and hands all tore up in the process. One of the dogs died shortly after separation and the other was put down later. No attack towards humans but man they seem unpredictable. Really sad for this family. I'd be done if this happened to my kids. I have no idea if they'll ever recover from this.

As an aside, about a week after Catrick Meowhomes appeared, he decided he wanted to meet Blu after his evening poop. I had Blu sit and Catrick started toward us. Got about a foot away and Blu is about to come apart but is still sitting. Catrick make a sudden move and Blue losses it and Catrick heads for a big oak tree, so Blu takes off and the leash is around my wrist and I'm horizontal being dragged 60 feet to the base of the tree. I wish I had video, because I could probably win some money with it. |

Most of the time it is not the dog, it is the person raising the dog. My mom was a kennel manager for quite a few years. Never was bitten by a big dog or a Pitt. All her dog bites came from small cute dumb shit dogs whose owners never disciplined them. |

Love my two Pits, sorry. Don’t have these dogs around young children; they demand respect and should never be left alone with young kids.

Some of the most lovable dogs I’ve ever been around but I’d never own one. Too much of a gamble, I just don’t trust them.

These dogs are known to snap and attack their owners. I feel sorry that those two babies died because their parents are so ****ing stupid
