I've been running in my neighborhood a lot lately. In addition to the large pitbull behind a 2.5' high decorative fence who woofs at me - at least half of the dogs I see people walking are pitbulls. And I live in a suburb of LA where the median home is around $1M.

Wtf people.

"hes such a sweet dog, never thought hed bite anyone. hes never bitten anyone before."

gee where have we hewrd that before?

I wonder if the guy would have attacked her if she had her dog on a leash (as im guessing the law requires)?

pit bull was just biting the nearest person. That that person was mid-rape at the time was just variance.

It was a looper pit bull - trying to maul the baby before it could get made.

A few years ago, my wife left for work at 4:00 am and saw a guy she thought was tweaking in the parking lot of our old apartment complex. The guy was breathing hard and amped up while holding a stick. She saw two pit bulls in front of her car and she figured they were his dogs and he was beating them. So she drove between the guy and the dogs to break them up. She continued on to work and passed a cop car on her way out of the parking lot.

Come to find out the guy was being attacked and the cop was coming to help. When the cop got out of his car, one of the pits charged him so he shot it with a shotgun. The dog cowered for a bit then rushed him again until he shot and killed it.

We didn't live in the ghetto and still don't but I make my wife take pepper spray whenever she goes for a walk because of pit bulls. When my kids are with us and I see a pit, I'm immediately alert and in protective mode. That's not normal for me and doesn't happen with any other breed.

I don't buy the crap that "durp, it's how they're raised, durp." That's a cop out and an excuse for a horrible evil breed that should be exterminated. All breeds of dogs can be mistreated and raised poorly but I've never heard of a beagle killing a kid.

I don't believe you, Doctor Meth...

I don't care what you believe, blando1.0...

Sounds made up for sure.

another isolated incident!

LOL Comment sections always the same: "Poor dog, damn humans"

One thing I've noticed whenever some pitbull rescue post shows up in my Facebook feed is that the dog is always of course described as a huge sweetie who might lick you to death but it's also VERY important that he be the only pet in the house. For reasons that don't include the fact that he'll rip your other dog/cat/baby to shreds, I'm sure.

It's not but carry on with your denial.

20 minutes at the dog park. Big park, probably 3-4 acres:

-show up and place in 100% empty. Very rare, but more will show up shortly for sure.
-a couple dogs show up and everyone starts running around.
-a couple more then show up, including pit and typical young, dumb female owner.
-pit instantly starts terrorizing all the dogs and begins to zero in on my puppy
-bad owner asks whose puppy is this
-I see exactly what is about to happen and leash my dog and begin exiting
-don't even get out of park and dog is straight up attacking another dog
-I exit and then just watch as bad owner stands there going "NO...NO...!" while dog ignores her.
-they finally separate dogs and then horrible chick pit owner stands there going "omg omg omg I'm shaking. He has never done anything like that before..."


Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck you honey, I hope your dog eventually eats your eyeball.

I wish I could make it so every pit bull that will attack in the future will do so tonight at midnight. All owners are required to either get rid of their dog or sleep with them in the room tonight.

The big sweeties.

This is common at my shelter, among non-pits, and even some cats.

It's on the rest of us to avoid the pit's hair trigger.

dogs are not children, no matter how often you dress them up.

I'll admit I'm an evil clown, so I know what comes with the territory, but I'm kinda saddened and disappointed that nobody ever addressed this post:

whats to address? His hypothetical thought experiment? Ill go ahead and say that none of those chained dogs would probably make ideal housepets; thats the wrong question. the right question is whether theyd pose an equal danger to children and the elderly.

No question, no hypothesis, and no conclusion, but address this!

what blows my mind is that if we replaced "pit bulls" with "guns" in that "what about the pits that DONT murder babies?" Hed instantly recognize how dumb that logic is.

Um. This is the go to argument for pro gun nuts. B-b-b-ut responsible gun owners! And that you can get stabbed which is the equivalent of the golden retrievers bite too argument.

I think we should let the free market sort it out
