new theory: the virginia attack pits got sick and tired of their owner wearing confederate flags on everything

****, that's not far from me. Looks like the horse owner is out for some rough and tumble Ohio justice. Godspeed:

All dogs bite people guys

The Washington Post picked this story up. As soon as I saw the title "Two Dogs Killed a Woman on Christmas Eve" my brain was immediately like, so pit bulls?

Click.
CTRL-F "pit bull".
Found 1/2.
Yep. Close story.

Two nights ago, pit bull was in a foul mood or something because there are two other dogs that live in the house. One of them was a chihuahua. She got on pits bad side and had her jaw/mouth shredded and she had to be put down a couple of hours later at an emergency pet place. Finally, said idiot mother-in-law is getting rid of the kid's pit. Now, all I get to hear from her is "I knew I should've got rid of her after she attacked the kids at Thanksgiving."...well no ****ing ****.

hahaha jesus


Pitbull mauls PetSmart groomer

Don't let him out of the house for ten days. That'll show him.

Quarantined to make sure it didn't catch anything from the PetSmart employee.

Looks like Bubba had been a busy boy. Thankfully "had" being the operative word. Looks like the scummy owners and probably PetSmart are at least going to have to pay the victim bigtime. As well, an amazing number of sane comments in the original link to this story.

Also don't know if this has been posted here but FFS the Huff has gone downhill.

Damn HuffPo article is ****ing horrible.

Was at the vet with a boxer and a guy asks, "Is that a bully breed?"

I don't even know what a "bully breed" is so when I get home and it turns out Boxers were created by mixing bulldogs with other dogs so they are related to pit bulls

Am I going to die?

Yes you are for sure. Maybe not from a dog though.

Just think of it this way, every day your dog has not attacked a person or animal is proof that they won't. If you have pictures of it not attacking anyone, even better. If it let some kid sit on it's head or pull its tail then it pretty much proves it's the sweetest dog ever and in fact, all of the bully breeds are. Get it close to a new born without it eating the new born and then caption that it is a vicious attack dog lol. Bonus points if you know another type of dog that bit someone. Remember that nobody on earth can identify a put bull without a DNA test. Recalll that German Shepard were once the most feared breed. Cite that pit bulls were once known as the nanny breed because they are so good with kids. Remind people that any dog can be abused and it is bad owners that create these issues.

Do all of this and you will be safe forever and so will everyone else as long as they don't look it in the eye, wear the wrong perfume, tease it, or somehow it does something very out of character for it that would surprise anyone who knows what a sweety pie it is.

I'm interested in a real answer to AIOTT. I mean, getting a pure pit seems really dumb to me. But how bad is a mix or a distant relative? At what point is it reasonable and safe...

Of it wasn't genetically bred to kill other dogs or people that's a good start.

According to this, boxers come in at #8 Compared to Pit Bulls (#1, obviously) Rottweilers (#2)
Dobermans (#10)
Don't have stats for that range of years, but in 2016, pit bulls accounted for 4.9% of all dogs and boxers 1.9%, so if those numbers are similar for 1982-2013, pit bulls are about 15 times more likely to kill and 22 time more likely to maim. Rottweilers account for 2.4% of all dogs.

Like boxers, dobermans account for 1.9% of all dogs, so boxers are slightly more dangerous than dobermans.

Do those take into account how popular such a breed is? For instance, I'm surprised Huskies are higher than Akitas or Chows. But they are much, much more common I suspect so in that case it's hard to know what seems to be more dangerous.

I have some popularity stats below the bite stats. Here is the full list, which I guess isn't helpful for your question:

Ahhh, that's helpful.

Pure bred Chows are not that popular, but they are common in mixes. Who knows how many mixed-breed chows get counted as Chows for the bite stats.

No

Well I sure hope she takes it to a no-kill shelter so it can get adopted out to an unsuspecting family who just know their dog "struggles with his manners sometimes" or w/e euphemistic bull****.

We all get grumpy sometimes.

When I get social anxiety I drink. Pit bulls maul. Are we really so different?

Hi, can you direct me to a good HuffPo article?

I think a better metric would be a house dog. I don't think most people keep huskies, rots, pits, and other violent breeds indoors so much and tie them up to a post in their front yard.

When they are let loose in the neighborhood, they cause problems.

If an owner allows these beasts to laze about on the couch, then they pretty much deserve whatever happens to them.

Pitbull mauls 1-year-olds face, owner has to stab it to death to get it to let go

Just vile creatures. Quotes and comments have all the usual quotes and comments. He's never done this before and was such a nice doggo.
