lmao @ the videos of the 'hood pitbulls... like those people can even be compared to the rest of society. If you see a pitbull and it's not in the ghetto... 99% chance it's a friendly family dog. edit: also, if they didn't breed dogs that are the size of food, maybe other dogs wouldn't try to eat them
Doesnt surprise me at all tbh. Wheres al sharpton? Al sharpton in the house? Someone pass al the mic so he can blame someone else already....
Yeah? 99% chance? I'm gonna need some statistics, since I can easily provide statistics to the contrary. \n 32 U.S. dog bite-related fatalities occurred in 2013. Despite being regulated inMilitary Housing areas and over 700 U.S. cities, pit bulls contributed to 78% (25) of these deaths. Pit bulls make up about 6% of the total U.S. dog population.2 Together, pit bulls (25) and rottweilers (1), the second most lethal dog breed, accounted for 81% of the total recorded deaths in 2013. This same combination accounted for 74% of all fatal attacks during the 9-year period of 2005 to 2013. The breakdown between these two breeds is substantial over this 9-year period. From 2005 to 2013, pit bulls killed 176 Americans, about one citizen every 18.6 days, versus rottweilers, which killed 33, about one citizen every 99.5 days. In the year of 2013, the combination of pit bulls (25), rottweilers (1) and bullmastiffs (2) accounted for 88% of all dog bite-related fatalities. Annual data from 2013 shows that 56% (18) of the fatality victims were children 7-years and younger, and 44% (14) were adults, 25-years and older. Of the total children killed by dogs in 2013, 61% (11) were ages 4-years and younger. Annual data shows that when combining all age groups, male and female fatality victims were equivalent, 16 and 16. Amongst children 7-years and younger, however, males were excessively victims, 72% (13), versus females 28% (5). In 2013, over one-third, 38% (12), of all dog bite fatality victims were either visiting or living temporarily with the dog's owner when the fatal attack occurred, up from 32% in 2012. Children 7-years and younger accounted for 83% (10) of these deaths. Of this subset of 12 fatalities, 92% (11) were inflicted by pit bulls and 58% (7) involved a babysitter, including a relative or friend under the directive to watch a child 7-years or younger. All 7 of these child deaths were inflicted by pit bulls. 47% (15) of all fatalities in 2013 involved more than one dog; 16% (5) involved breeding on the dog owner's property either actively or in the recent past, and 9% (3) involved tethered dogs. All 3 chaining deaths were attributed to pit bulls. Dog ownership information for 2013 shows that family dogs comprised 47% (15) of all fatal attack occurrences; 78% (25) of the attacks resulting in human death occurred on the dog owner's property and 22% (7) resulted in criminal charges. California led lethal dog attacks in 2013 with 5 deaths. 100% were attributed to pit bulls and 60% resulted in criminal charges. Texas followed with 4 deaths and 0% criminal charges. Arkansas and South Carolina followed, each with 3 deaths. Lookee what we have here, ANOTHER PITBULL ATTACK YESTERDAY. http://www.nj.com/essex/index.ssf/2014/02/newark_child_in_critical_condition_after_dog_attack.html I know pitters will still claim that 100% of these pitbull attacks were because the pitbulls were raised for fighting (ignoring the fact that pitbull fighting is an underground sport and extremely, extremely rare.) Not to mention: In 2013, over one-third, 38% (12), of all dog bite fatality victims were either visiting or living temporarily with the dog's owner when the fatal attack occurred, up from 32% in 2012.
I'd bet a dollar that you've never even been in the same room as an American Pitbull Terrier. You're an illuminati dog racist. Sent from my MexiPhone5000
I knew some people who moved to CA for work. In the area around their work, there was a pitbull (owned) who would frequently roam the area without a lease or person. They had to run from it, even jumping in a big trash can to get away from it. Going outside was dangerous because of that dog. It would bark and chase you down. They had to spray hot water at it to deter it. I'm not "anti-pit" but I don't really like them. I don't trust any dog but especially one that does not like to release when it bites. I got bitten in the head/face buy an old mutt farm dog when I was young for petting his dog friend. I do like dogs, but, you never know what they thinking.
Pit bull "statistics" are extremely skewed because a lot of other breeds get thrown into the pit bull category. They have an extremely bad rap because of bad owners. When you look in the paper and a pit attacks a person it says pit bull attack look in the papers for other dogs and they're just "dog" attacks as the headlines. People are just as misinformed on pit bulls as they are on marijuana. Shits nuts. This story hurts my heart
Exactly. People are SHITTY eye witnesses (except for plane crashes, they tend to be really good at that for some reason). To the untrained or average person a big dog is automatically a pit. A lot of "pit" dog attacks weren't even any form of pit. He can keep posting shit from Wikipedia all he wants, he's still wrong. Just tired of pits getting horrible wraps just because they had the misfortune of having a shit owner. Also, lolz at dog racist.
The mods disagree apparently... it is disgusting, sick, and so very very sad. I feel bad now i decided to go on a crusade against lucifer's follower here... instead of expressing how deeply saddened i am by the death of this young life. The dog breed matters not, the breed of psychotic, disturbed breed of human is the issue. Hope the man and the woman rot in prison til their soul leaves its meat casing to get pineapples rammed up their asses in hell. And if saying and feeling this damns me to hell, well i'll see them there then. Sent from my MexiPhone5000
Well, this thread went from very sad to very dumb at record speed! Such a terrible story. Nothing that humans do surprises me anymore. If what the mother says is true, then she's no better than he is. Hope the son that she has can one day escape this terrible fucking family.
Sure we do. No one is forced to read it. I'd rather be aware of atrocities, personally, than pretend it does not exist. Gives me more appreciation for my own life and how great it is compared to sick fucks or their victims.
even if your specific dog isnt aggressive, you cant argue that a pitbull has the physical ability to be more violent than most other common pet breeds. they are by no means special in that way, there are other breeds equally or more muscular, violent, aggressive, etc. and think about it. people snap all the time. bottle shit up and eventually beat some person down. you are a total fucking fool if you think there is no way an animal (of any species) CAN NOT attack something. i say make your own decisions, but especially if you have kids, be cautious.
This, so much. By no means are all dogs of any breed aggressive, by animals (just like humans) all have different temperaments, and it's not all due to obvious environmental factors. Seemingly benevolent dogs, just like people, can snap. I don't believe all pits are inherently violent, or that they can't be great companions. Hell, I know for a fact that isn't true. But, they can definitely be dangerous, and (unlike those notoriously evil chihuahuas ) they can do some serious damage. I have two big dogs and I would never leave my kid with them. Not because they're bad dogs, they've never hurt a soul. But I have respect for any animal that has potential to be dangerous. I'm little confused as to how this thread got on that subject anyhow, since it's not like the dog attacked the child anyway
