Another attack from the infamous Pit Bull breed

[Por_sha911]

At least 3 injured after owner tries to put sweater on pit bull | Fox News

Two observations:
-The owners are idiots to try and put a sweater on a pit bull.
-All the pit bull lovers will, yet again, defend the dog and say there is nothing dangerous with the breed. It is just another isolated case (for the millionth time).

Euthanize the humans....problem solved!

[Baz]

Out of all three....which ones do you think are the dumb ones.....



Named their dog "Scarface"?

SMH......

Simply put dogs are a reflection of the owner. Another shining example.

Some doggies are not good doggies.

Some of the doggies humans are not good humans....

Stabbed, tranquilized, tazered and hit with bean bags, that's one tough dog.

Exactly look at the picture of the owner seems to have quite the attitude. I bet he raised his dog to reflect himself.
I was walking down the street the other day and saw a woman with her husband and a baby in a stroller. She was walking with a pit bull on a leash. I guess she did not like the way the dog was walking so she kicked the dog as hard as she could in the stomach. I was hoping the dog would respond in kind and bite her leg off but no such luck. I called the police but by the time they arrived they were long gone.

Hey - someone left out this happened in Florida!

Any dog, even a pit bull, will give you a warning to not continue doing something that makes it feel threatened. Ignore these warnings at your own peril. The dog gives you an out... he can't make you take it.

Most dog owners are idiots. They might be well-meaning idiots but they know about as much about how a dog thinks as they do quantum physics. Essentially nothing... The bad news is what they think they know about dog behavior is probably mostly the opposite of how a dog might view it.

I'm amazed at how well dogs read body language in other dogs. They process information insanely quickly and see so many subtle things we don't.

The two idiots in Florida don't need to be dog owners. God forbid they should both be fertile and reproduce their genes.

According to data complied by the CDC, there's an average of something like 12,000 dog bites per day. Sounds like a lot, until you work out that it represents about one in every 26,000 people, per day. Guess which one the mainstream media talks about and the one that gets passed on by less-than-informed readers? Yep, the one with the pit bull in it...

We used to raise Wolf Hybrids (mixed with malamute) and show them at regional events. We did this for about 15 years with no incidents, or accidents, so we are used to handling BIG dogs (our big female was 7' long from nose to tip of her tail, and 125#).

The only time I have ever been nervous around a dog was whan a pitbull was wandering loose on our farm, and a little too aggresive. I know people that have bitten by dogs before, but it seems the only ones who were mauled, was by pitbulls, and every one of thier respective owners claimed that the dog was "just a big baby, and wouldn't hurt a fly".

I think it's an ego problem of some of the owners who want an intimidating dog, and don't realize what they have when they buy a puppy.

Some of the gentlest dogs I ever treated, and some of the most vicious, were pitbulls. An intact male was much more likely to be dangerous, and could be totally unpredictable.

putting a sweater on any dog is pretty ridiculous, but i get it..your dog, your whimsical wishes..whatever.

i do however think a dog should be able to endure some of our wishes..like clipping nails, cleaning an ear, etc. it shouldnt attack. in total this story sucks.

i dont know the whole story, but unlike BAZ, i dont wish death to the owners and i dont interpret any deeper meaning from the photo of the owners. i wont profile them from the image.

[Por_sha911]

The whole thing about "its all about how the dog is raised blah blah blah..." is all fine and dandy. Nitro glycerin can be handled without incident but it is way to volatile. The same with Pit Bulls. Some are OK but the breed lends it to be dangerous and when something goes bad it goes bad in a big way. Ownership should be restricted to those who have permits just like with other dangerous animals.

[Tobra]

I can pretty well guarantee you that the sort of people who would get a license to have a dog like that are not going to be the ones having this sort of problem. With the story in question, I expect it is an unaltered male pit bull mix that lived a short, miserable life chained up beside their trailer before it turned on them when the RBT chick would not take the hint that he did not want the damn sweater. Sad to say, but getting put down was about the most merciful thing probably ever happened to that dog.

[cstreit]

Seems to me that every time you see one one these attacks, the other thing that is common is that the dog owners are neglectful d-bags. I suspect they *buy* the breed knowing it could be turned mean. ...but then any animal can be made mean through abuse. The Pit simply has better tools to do destruction when it does IMO

[Crowbob]

So most dogs were bred to do something specific, right? Retrieve, guard, herd, etc. what were Pit Bull Terriers bred to do?

[gsxrken]

The nastiest dog I know is a collie. It was raised from a puppy by a family who has had many dogs for many years. Some dogs are just not nice. When they happen to be pit bulls, they're more capable of enough injury to get into the media. I don't know if it happens more or if you just hear about it when it does.

[Alan A]

Fight other dogs. And they were very very selectively bred - they needed to be able to be handled even when injured. A big pitbull is a 45lb dog.

The problem is that they have been crossed with Molosser breeds, to turn them into something better suited for guarding or protection. Those are less inclined to accept rough handling, and have the size to express their displeasure forcefully. An angry bull mastiff is truly a sight to behold.

But because they are muscular and have short muzzles all dogs that look even vaguely like one are pit bulls. The DNA tests I've seen are fascinating - saw one yesterday that you'd swear was a pit, but turned out to be 25% miniature poodle.

Hey this is America, who needs facts - our soon to be ex-president is all black, remember. Genetics is just a word, image is what matters.

My friends last Pit Bull, was the kindest . most gentle , loving and protective dog I have ever known.
I remember being afraid to bring my son around when he was little. It ended up being cute how protective that pit was of my son . We were at the ocean when my son was a baby. Whenever we would put my boy in the surf, the dog would freak , and try to get between my son and the incoming waves, and push him back to dry land . Really nice dog , in his entire life, never bit , or snapped at anyone.
Unfortuneately , he passed, and Todd got a new Pit Bull. He got him as a rescue, thinking he could turn him into a nice dog like his last
I am scared to death of the thing. It has one mission in life, and that is to eat me.
Mean as hell, it has bit nearly everybody that has regular contact .
My buddy is having a baby, and I am begging him to get rid of the dog . He won't listen . I hope I am wrong
