Pesrsonally it does not matter to me.

If any animal growls at me, big or small.... POW... right between the eyes.... off to the brush pile and end of story.

 

Please shoot yourself!

 

I believe there is a fine line between owning a dog and owning a deadly animal. If a person kept a trained bear in their back yard, separated from the neighbors children by a 4 foot chicken wire fence, that would be no different. We call them "domestic" animals, but they are hardly that anymore. Inbreeding and overbreeding have seen to that, and have cast doubt on all of them. It's sad, because a well bred, well trained pit can be a wonderful pet. If we had a problem pit in our neighborhood, I would most definately put it down, old yeller style.

Is it the family's fault that the dog killed the kid? Sorta...but they all assumed, and I would too, that the dog was safe.[/QUOTE]

You my friend would have made the worse mistake of your life.

 

some of the people on this forum are so ignorant and stupid,dogs bite and attack, sure, I agree, but their being dogs, they act on instincts, they don't sit down and think, hmmm, I want to go and bite this human, I wanna be a savage, he's just being a dog. wish some of these people get poisened at some restraunt, the world would be alot better off.

 

See how easily you could have been walking in this familys shoes. They assumed the dog was safe and you said you would have also assumed the same. WOW doesn't that even make you "think" If you think that dog was safe just maybe you think yours is safe too "sorta"

Sure dogs are just being dogs but they rest of us don't want these killers around us.

 

Replace pit with dog, and I'm with ya. Any dog that's demonstrated that it's a problem (Aggressiveness), should be dealt with. Having the city deal with it is best though. Unless of course they don't pull their end, then you can deal with the problem yourself, as long as it's on your property. If you kill a dog over breed prejudice, then I hope Karma bites you on the *** hard.

 

Is it natural to eat kids. Rather see the dog act like a dead fish than a baby killer. Remember I said only as a last resort. I don't want to see any animal suffer but when all elase fails-------

 

How many kids have been "Eaten" by a dog?

In all honesty I think your opinion is founded in ignorance and fueled by emotion. Darwin ussually sorts this out.....

Lets think logically here.

 

This entire thread is a showcase of human stupidity.

There are good dogs, there are bad dogs. Problem is, you NEVER hear about little Sally being torn limb from limb by Fluffy the neighbors Bichon Frise. No, it is ALWAYS by: A) Megatron the Pit Bull. B) Thor the Rottweiler. To a lessen extent, Adolf the Doberman Pinscher. No matter who, what, when or where a dog attack happens, why is it ALWAYS one of those two breeds? Chalk it up to bad press. I would venture a guess that Labs of whatever color are one of the most popular breeds in the country. I can't think of one, NOT A SINGLE ATTACK by a Lab, ever. Feel free to post one if you know of one. My neighbor was attacked by dogs that looked like Pit Bulls. I don't think they were pure bred but they definitely looked like them.

Then you have liberal imbeciles who create a website to say dogs are not the problem, it's the owners, human beings, that are the problem. When animals are given equal billing of rights as humans, then we as society are freaking doomed. Last time I checked, animals are here to be used by humans. Whether that be entertainment or medium rare with a baked potato, animals are here for us to use.

As I often do, I weep for society...

KC-10 FE out...

 

I rest my case ^ we as humanity are finished with "macho" **** like this.


it's an animal they don't know any better.

 

I agree with KC10????



Lord forgive me of any and all sins.... the signs show your coming is near...



J/K KC, but I do aggree

 

Fifi the killer poodle doesn't sound especially menacing now does it. I wonder how much dander that headline would get up.

You're an idiot too, if you don't think that environment and training don't have more to do with dog behavior than breeding.

 

I have a 9 1/2 year old pitbull. Never attacked anyone, never ate anything that was alive, etc....

It is all in how you raise a pet. If you train it to attack and maul, it will do so.

My pitbull will do no more than lick you.

You always here of pitbull attack stories and thats because they are stereo-typed so badly and the public feeds off of this.

Have you ever heard of children being mauled and killed by smaller dogs? Not to much because it is not publicized. There were instances of children getting mauled and killed by a Schitzu and other small breeds.

To stereotype one breed is a bunch of S!@#! If someone is not taking care of their dogs and they are running rampid, then yes the owners and/or the dogs need to be taken care of.

My dogs are fenced in and never left unattended.

 

Isnt that what he said?

Or did I misread it?
