Knowing pitbulls, that kid that was saved will grow up to be the next hitler.

Just what the world needs. Another woman trying to restrain a traumatized pitbull with a cinder-block head.

lol how are owners of these dogs not sent to prison?

****in lol.

im so glad pits got banned where i live in the province of ontario in like, 2005? i think or 2006. 15 million people are now safer. pits are now almost extinct in our province now due the 11 years now its been in effect. a few more years and the % of pits in ontario should be virtually 0.

****ing cancerous creatures with cancerous owners.

Just amazing. The horror of this story. I just can't relate to anyone taking a risk like this. It's beating a dead horse at this point, or beating the head of a pit that has clamped onto a small child while screaming "off Genghis!" over and over, but there is all this risk and no reward that can't be obtained with a safer pet. Except the one nobody admits, which is it as the close to having a pet dragon that these stupid mother****ers can get. The risk is the reward.

The charges were filed following a GBI consultation with Northern Circuit District Attorney Parks White, who reviewed the evidence, including the fact the woman had been cited “on multiple occasions” by the Hartwell Police Department under a city ordinance about disorderly animals.

Hartwell Police Chief Anthony Davis said Wednesday that police had responded to previous calls at the home for the dogs running at large, barking, chasing people and for being a nuisance.
The **** is this ****? Apparently you can just let your pit bulls run buck wild and terrorize the neighborhood over and over again with no real consequences until someone's kid gets killed. I mean, god damn if I were to be cited multiple for letting a pet jaguar run loose in the neighborhood, I sure as **** wouldn't be allowed to keep owning pet jaguars. The city must have known full well it was only a matter of time before some toddler gets shredded to pieces.

Just picked up my iphone after not using it for hours. I get the install update now or later modal, click Later, then I get the passcode screen, with a Remind Me Later link at the bottom. I click it - and boom I'm right into my phone, w/o having entered a passcode.

Yes I am 100% sure this actually happened.

I know Apple is God and God is infallible, therefore this must not have happened and I am mistaken. That's just basic logic. Lol old man can't figure out technology herpie derp.

It's delusional to the point that, because I've always liked you and your politics posts, I'd say if you seriously believe it you might think about professional help...

That's assuming this thinking is bleeding into other areas of your life. More likely pitbulls are just you people's trigger thing. My pet conjecture is that because it's now widely unacceptable to irrationally hate groups of people, you people have found something else to channel the urges. There's a level of disturbing glee behind all this.

p.p.s. Wait, to specifically address quitting the thread, quite frankly I found it way too depressing to see otherwise intelligent and thoughtful people post like this.

The majority of large breed strays are "bully breeds". They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. I don't know what they are mixed with but we tend to label them all as "pit bull mix" in our system. I'd rather label them "mixed breed" which would be 100% accurate but our system makes you choose a primary breed.

Then we get a good number of pure bred German Shepards and Huskies.

Only 20% of our strays are reclaimed. Why aren't the other 80% claimed? I believe that is because these animals are "resident dogs". They reside in the property/yard and are not socialized, walked, trained, or let inside the house. They are not on the street long. They are not family dogs. People have no attachment to them and may find it a relief to find the dog escaped (they were tired of the barking or buying food for them). Many of the dogs have serious medical issues, they obviously have not been taken to a vet at any point.

Dogs are such social animals that leaving them alone in a yard is essentially "solitary confinement". When the stray hold period is up we have to decide whether the animal is safe to put up for adoption. Many of these dogs are friendly, some are aloof, some scared, some aggressive.

We do get labs but it's rare. However they are a popular breed. Why don't we get them in proportion to their population? I think it's because these are mostly family dogs. They aren't left alone in yards 24/7. They are in general more socialized because of this. And this increased socialization leads to less dog bite instances (you can find lots of serious lab bite stories out there, but not in proportion to pit bulls or Shepards)

One time I'm watching the news and "Pit bull attacks children" is the lead headline. There is more to this story though that isn't talked about by the news team. However you can get the facts from the on site reporter.

- The dog broke off its chain and attacked kids waiting on the side walk (it most likely lived on this chain)
- When the camera panned to the dog house it was covered with graffiti
- They did a quick interview with an elderly neighbor who said kids who lived there "did things to it to make it mean".

None of that is talked about, but it is in the story. This would be a cruel experiment but imagine this:

Take 1000 Golden Retrievers, 1000 Border Collies, 1000 "pitbulls"

Tie them all to chains in the backyard of a house, never leaving that chain for a walk or a game of fetch. During that time allow kids to tease them, throw rocks, firecrackers, poke with sticks. After 6 months of this, cut the chain.

What difference do you think there would be between breeds when they ran into kids on the sidewalk? You think any of them would have a positive interaction with the kids in a higher proportion than the other breeds?

To me this is what is happening with most of these bite stories. These aren't family pets. At best most of the animals are neglected (left alone in a yard all day but given food/water) and at worst are teased, abused, and/or tortured.

This most recent dog that killed a woman in Montreal, leading to BSL passing, was killed by a dog unattended in an adjacent yard that dug its way out. The breed of the dog is unknown at this point but they did do a DNA test.

Under socialized, unattended, and around unstable people. These are the dogs most likely to bite. The breed du jour to be neglected nowadays is the "pit bull"/mix unfortunately. Not that millions aren't living normal lives with their families with children, and cats and what not. But 5 million pit bulls got up and went to bed and nothing happened is not news. An unstable dog that kills someone is.

Lol, what's to address, besides it directly refuting all the derp ITT? Besides that!

Well sure, but you wouldn't replace 'pitbulls' with 'guns' because that would dumb as absolute ****. And you're not dumb as absolute ****, nor am I.

Yeah sorry, I wasn't planning on interrupting the hate jerk but I noticed that problemelimantor post and found it too incredible to pass up.

I mean, look, I get it, being afraid of and hating things just feels too damn good to go cold turkey. I'm not here to judge and all I ask in return is to not pretend like this ever was anything even approaching an intelligent debate.

Woah, 7even makes an excellent point. A lot of openly racist people like pitbulls. They don't have to channel their hatred of black people into "dogs" (or whatever pitbulls are) like the rest of us.

Some parents....

In other news, saw a dog attack another dog out of nowhere in my neighbourhood park. The owner of the agressor jumped on his dog and pulled it away, then started shouting if he could lend 350 euros from someone to get his ****ing dog to the vet to get it killed immediately. Talk about taking responsibility.
