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. |

We were at least half a mile away. I saw the fireballs erupt from the barrels and heard the roar a few seconds later (even at that distance, it was loud as hell). I have no idea if the fired shell is visible to the naked eye or not from close up. And I also have no idea where the shells hit, although I figure if they were aiming at anything, it would have been some sort of floating target in the Caribbean too far away to see. This was peacetime off the coast of Guantanamo Bay. Iowa was probably down there for the same training and readiness evaluation that my ship was.

I don't think I've been in this thread - but now I have a story to tell.
I've been trying to walk more and had some 4 mile loops from my house kinda established. A bit over a week ago I was on the last mile of a loop and on a street I dont frequent when I ran into three loose dogs, 2 pitt type and a German Shepherd. I was already tired because I had dressed to way too warm. Spring is tricky. Anyway, the dogs were loose and across an empty lot about 40 yards distant. I was maintaining a steady pace on the sidewalk. Suddenly, I felt an inquiring nip on my fingertips and a light nudge on my thigh. And then I had the two pitts jumping around me, nipping at my hands, and shouldering me. The shepherd circled and joined the barking. I crossed my arms like I was going to jump on an airline emergency slide, and just kept a steady pace, and yelling NO - to no effect. When I'd walked a lot or two past the empty lot where I picked them up, they went back - I was probably skirting their perceived territory. I was unharmed, but I was concerned that things might escalate. My watch showed that my heart rate had spiked a little right then. I'm of sturdy build (hence the increased walking) so their shoulder nudges didn't have much impact. But if I was a skinny person, they might have. I don't know what they would have done if I had shown signs of panic or tried to hit them. I think if they knocked someone off their feet, it would get ugly fast. I feel like these dogs were starting playfully, but prodding, poking, looking for a reaction. I'm a dog owner - that may have helped in interacting with them. That's my short story for the day. |

I want there to be more pitbulls just to spite people and piss them off.

Yeah that was on either my MSN or Yahoo scrolls a few days ago, just an absolutely unbelievable amount of damage they caused... now just imagine what that would do to an arm or leg
