Quote HistoryQuoted: The point I was trying to make is that the legislative argument for banning Pit Bulls will become a reductio as absurdum argument for banning "dangerous weapons". If you like your Pit Bull, you can keep your Pit Bull. But keep it secured and away from small children. Or old ladies. Or any demographic that has been mauled or murdered by them. Your argument would have more merit if the owners of dogs that maul toddlers and old ladies are punished severely enough to deter other owners from failing to control theirs. A man with a gun murders a child, he should face the death penalty. Why should it be any different for those who own dogs? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I own a pit and my dog could possibly be dangerous to children (he's never exhibited aggressive behavior towards other dogs or my friends older children) I won't allow small children around my dog. And I keep him secured in a fenced in yard under supervision or on a strong leash when out to vet trips. I'm hyper paranoid about my dog hurting someone. He's been an amazing dog but i will always have that worry in the back of my mind so I am vigilant. I have to ask, why would you want to own a dog like that? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Banning a certain breed of dog is akin to banning a certain type of rifle. Be responsible. Little kids and loaded guns don't mix. Nor do little kids and large, powerful dogs. "But my Pit Bull is so sweet and gentle." So is my AR-15. No. One thing is an inanimate object and one is an animal. This is the most repeated and most idiotic argument one can use. Please stop. |

I had recently put down my cat of 17 years. Was looking for another pet and i have a number of friends and coworkers who have pitbulls and pitbulli mixes. My friend had found a pitbull through Facebook. A gentleman recently divorced had gotten the dog not realizing he was allergic to dogs. He had the dog living in his house in a crate. So my friend was gonna get the dog as a companion to his female pit. It wasn't working out with his female dog as the two combined were to rambunctious for my friends wifes liking. My friend showed me pictures of the dog and I said I would take the dog over a weekend to see if we got along. Got the dog in my house and he jumped on my couch rolled over and let me hover over him so that was a plus. Then I fed him from a bowl and got down on all fours next to him and headbutted his head out of the way and stuck my head in the bowl whilst I was growling and pretending to eat his food lol. He just looked at me funny and laid down. Since then we've been best friends. I recently had quit drinking so the dog was a Godsend and has been my best friend since. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: When we originally adopted him he wasn't listed as a pit, just as a mix. As he grew it became very obvious by his appearance that even if he was a mix he was pit heavy. It wasn't and hadn't been an issue until recently. We started having kids and moved off a small hobby farm into a neighborhood. He has always been watched closely and never allowed around the kids on the floor and definitely not unsupervised. That being said something changed in him this past week. He has now been completely isolated from everyone and is scheduled to be destroyed Monday. I can honestly say it is really hurting us, but we have zero tolerance when it comes to the kids and while he hasn't done anything and has been a great pet up to now we can't responsibly keep him. I also don't feel like it would be responsible to rehome him either. the whole thing sucks to be honest. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: same, and it has been successful until this past week.

I'm sorry to hear that, it sucks losing a dog and must suck more to put it down when it's not medically necessary. Sounds like the right choice in your case though and I commend you for it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why did you get a pit in the first place when you could own any other dog? This may not apply, but when we went to a no kill rescue shelter to adopt a dog, we saw a just born puppy that we were told was a black mouth cur. Never hearing about that breed, we googled it and liked what we read, and adopted it. As he got older, we started realizing it might have had a LITTLE BMC in him, but he was primarily a pit bull (and probably boxer). We didn't have kids at the time, so we decided to keep him. We also had a malinois, so we were familiar with how to handle an atypical dog. Fast forward a few years, we have kids and the dog gets watched like a hawk and segregated when needed. Our first kid avoided the dog naturally, so it wasn't too difficult, but our second kid was always wanting to grab and crawl over our labrador (mal had since died from cancer) so we decided to get rid of the faux black mouth cur just to be safe. Made life less stressful. |

I know this won't be very popular here, but I was attacked by a dog as a child and have never been able to trust any of them since. Pitts just seem to reaffirm my fear for myself and young daughter
The parents were irresponsible, but those poor babies didn't deserve this. |

"But my Pit Bull is so sweet and gentle." So is my AR-15. Lol no. Retarded post is retarded. If you take your AR out of the house it can’t randomly decide to attack someone, a pit bull can. One is an autonomous killer and the other is an inanimate object that is a tool. Do you understand or is too complicated to understand the difference between animal with a mind of its own and a chunk of metal? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Never. Everyone thinks "my dog wouldn't hurt a fly!" Literally all of them. I don't know any pitbull owners that think "Damn, my dog is fucking dangerous as hell...I'd not let it be around a child." Not one. At my previous job, there was a girl (customer) who'd come in on a regular basis. She always had her BIG pit bull with her. He was always on a leash, but I didn't give a shit. If he ever decided he wanted to go after someone, there's nothing she could do to hold him back. She wasn't strong enough. Hell, I don't know if I was strong enough; and I'm not a little guy. She looked like she was maybe 5'6", 120lbs. Anyway, every time she'd come in, I'd go the opposite direction. When coworkers asked why, I always said, "I don't trust animals I don't know. And I especially don't trust pit bulls AT ALL." "Really? But he's so sweet." "Yeah, right up to the moment he tries to eat your fucking face. No thanks." I'd follow that up with, "Also, every pit bull attack, EVERY SINGLE ONE that I've read about always had something from the owner like, "They've never done this before", or "They were always so playful and sweet." There's a reason whey they're the #1 breed for attacks and deaths among dogs.....by a BIG margin.

I would never own a pit or even a pit mix as I’ve read too many stories of them going crazy and attacking. But no matter how poor judgment the father had he certainly didn’t deserve that. There’s nothing on earth a person could do to deserve the loss of their children. I’m praying the mother is able to physically survive this (might be a blessing if she never wakes up though) and that both parents can somehow emotionally survive this.

I suspect a lot of people who have pitbulls secretly like having them because they think they are a strong and badass dog. They might not openly state that because they don't want to appear like a gangbanger / city thug, but deep down they like the idea their dog can be a fucking beast. Kinda like people who have an unhealthy obsession with Nazi paraphernalia and German superiority. Right until it kills your only kids.
