It sounds like these shitbulls were owned and raised by a decent couple. So anyone claiming the "its how you raise them" BS narrative can eat shit. Someone please post the meme with all the dog breeds doing what they were genetically bred to do, then the pitbull picture. Eradicate every last one of them things. You can't have a pet lion without having permits and shit, same should apply to pitbulls.

Pitbulls are popular in a child free culture. Society emphasizes doing what you want without regard for others or children, even your own.

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. 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. It takes one moment, with sweet little Ravager, to go from two kids to no kids. |

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. Totally agree they always show pics of them with their kids cuddling the dogs as proof the dogs are safe. No one has ever said, yep I knew it was just a matter of time before my dog ate some kid. 1. Obviously, your dog cuddling with kids means very little to nothing 2. No one has bred two pitbulls and said these are the weakest two dogs I could find. Giant weak pussies, I am going to start a new type of Put. No they breed for aggression, strength and courage and athleticism. I think like many things now people use those dogs for virtual signalling. I am an uber dog lover because I have these two rescue pits. We have a bunch of engineers and other liberals who suddenly are interested in Pits rough estimate is maybe 10 Pits rescued by various people at work. I wish them luck. I refuse to acknowledge them in our Social Dogs Slack channel though. They are typically the same folks that wanted people to stop calling husbands and wives husbands and wives instead spouse or partner. Mothers and fathers are parental figures. sister and brothers are siblings. Luckily our CEO is a no nonsense kind of guy and said nope not doing that. He also refused to proclaim black lives matter. Pretty good for a company originally in San Francisco. |

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. If you knew the dogs would someday hurt your children or another’s the choice would be easy. Since you don’t in fact know it’s difficult. From one father to another you are making the right decision. A shitty decision to be faced with, but I believe you’re doing the right thing. Sorry. |

I’ve never understood how people let their small children “play” with dogs. When our kid was first born, our dog was 8 yrs old. I let the dog smell the kid when we first brought home, but I didn’t let her do much more. I was always protective and never left the two unattended. I trusted that dog and she was a great, loving companion, but why risk it with an animal. Even our current dog at only 20lbs, I would not let her around small children. Just one tug on the ear, stepping on a paw, yanking a tail (kids don’t really know any better) and it could illicit an attack that could really injure or kill.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. With all due respect why would you do this? I love my dog I have had dogs all my life. Anyhow, I would NEVER use my face, neck, head to mess around with a dog especially with food. You are so lucky man- in an instant most dogs can do some damage to your face, ears, neck etc. Some dogs you get them excited by screaming and yelling at all the blood and pain and now it is a game to them. So now they are biting at you, you are bleeding and maybe crying from the immense pain. - |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. We've had a lot of folks buy them at work or get them from rescues- They are all fairly woke and they for the most part seem to do this so they can appear to be the nerd elite of the rescue world. They are the ones mostly likely to say- Did my dog get rescued by me or did he/she rescue me? Or I woke up the other night and I was thinking- I have rescued a Pit that no one wanted because they are "bad" dogs and I drive a Tesla- I was wondering - could I possibly be one of the greatest people in the San Francisco bay area? Then the obligatory name change ceremony - I decided to name my male Pit Bull- Constance or perhaps Twinkle. I want to change the perception of these noble friends. They will also have friends that are so woke who think it is wrong to have pets. They will sit at a company party have a few beers and argue their side for 20 minutes then ultimately say some stuff like- Look we disagree man but we both want what is best for this planet and I love you man. Then the mandatory pics of Constance the 400 lbs of muscled male Pit is wearing a tutu and a cheap tiara. I ask you all does "he" look like a threat? Loathsome humans. |

One of the most concerning things about pits is once their attack button has been pressed, there is no turn off.
In most dogs, once the perceived threat is gone they will calm down, with pits once they decide to attack they don’t stop. Look at the instances where a pit has gone after everyone, not just the person or animal that initiated the attack, but ever one trying to stop it, even the owners and those that care for the dog are at risk. They go berserker and nothing short of deadly force will end it. |

Jumped up and snapped her neck, and the the other one dragged the baby off and then when the mother was trying to stop them, one of them mauled her and tore her shit up. She is in a coma right now. I assume medically induced This thing sucks and I'm still sick about it. These aren't thug ass people you would normally associate with pit bulls. This has fucked with me alot today Eta: I'm not saying only thug people own pits. I just mean that is what many think because they are thugs dog of choice. I don't want that taken the wrong way. |

The Uncle posted this to Social media recently.
Just an update on my nephew and his wife. As of yet there are no funeral arrangements for the kids. Kirstey is still in the hospital with an uncountable amount of stitches and bite marks over her entire body including her face. Both arms and legs are bandaged/wrapped up completely. As of now it looks like there isn't any permanent damage other than a heart that will never heal. Kirstey is a f&cking hero! This attack lasted over 10 minutes and she never gave up trying to save these babies. Now all of us, family and friends, have to rally around both of them and show them how much they are loved . I don't know if there can be a healing process but hopefully we can ALL find a way to cope with this tragedy. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: He growled at my son for no reason as he and my wife were coming up the stairs, second time and for no reason. We weren't sure the first time was a growl but the second was unmistakable and just odd, no hair raised and he just looked different. That night he was sitting next to me on the couch and again, and it's hard to describe, just like a different animal moved in. The next am he went after our Great Dane, never had an issue with each other for six years and again this was unprovoked and very odd for him. He had a full check up the week before and got a clean bill of health so we don't think it's a medical issue or anything like that. Either way, I fear for the safety of my family around him at this point but I feel like a piece of shit at the same time. Don’t feel that way. You’re doing the right thing. That right thing often isn’t easy to do. Think of how you’d feel if your son or wife was serious injured or died because you wanted to pretend like the danger wasn’t there. |
