I have personally known of too many cases where the cute, harmless, cuddly Pit Bull went into attack mode in a split second, with NO justification whatsoever. Calling BS. Calling you a fool.
While it's true that all liberals are crazy people, not all crazy people are liberals.

It's no use, the Pitt supporters are just as clueless as the Hillary supporters.

You guys need to remember that if a dog has a hold of your arm and you are going down, you had better make sure your knees are on that dogs ribs when you hit the ground, if you don't kill them, there is a very good chance that they will kill you. exactly and choke them. when mine attacked i grabbed his jaw, i knew my hands were going to get bit but no way was i going to let him get a hold of me anywhere else.

The combination of molosser breeds, including pit bulls, rottweilers, presa canarios, cane corsos, mastiffs, dogo argentinos, fila brasieros, sharpeis, boxers, and their mixes, inflict:
86% of attacks that induce bodily harm
81% of attacks to children
89% of attack to adults
76% of attacks that result in fatalities
86% that result in maiming
Embody 9.2%+ of the total dog population
Foul! Facts are not allowed in these threads!

I was commenting on Benchman's statement that all dogs bite, which they do. However, pits have a history of attacking without cause. They snap in the head and attack, totally unprovoked. There are to many instances of it to reasonably say otherwise. The number of these attacks is way out of proportion to their numbers. Just simply not true. Per Pit numbers, any bite of a human is very rare. The reason you hear of them frequently, though, is to do with 1) their great numbers in existence, and 2) the tendency for their attacks to be quite effective and persistent. Other breeds, per their numbers, bite much more frequently, but don't tend to make the news due to minimal harm done, not to mention a large segment of folks like to read of Pitbull attacks, so they can post them at places like this, thus news agencies are eager to increase readership by reporting on them when they occur. You are wrong. My son is a professional animal control officer. As a breed, Pits are the most likely to do serious harm. That is the truth. It is the most troublesome breed he has to deal with. While the owners involved are not good either, in a lot of cases, the fact is that they pick Pits because of the traits that make the breed dangerous.

Happened to us when friendly Pit who had been staying at our place for several months tore up our Shepard at a cost of $3K in surgery over a bowl of food he wanted to take away. It snapped at my wife and thought at least twice before backing down from me and leaving the yard.
I would have put him down right there but had promised to give back to original owner.
I have seen mean Rotteilers bite but pits are worse. Sister in law had her dog attacked by the neighborhood problem pit. She used a metal stake to pry his jaws off the dog, when the pit turned his attention on her she drove the stake down the pit's throat and killed it. Police showed up told her nice job and ticketed the pit owner.

if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

another reason pittys are more often reported as biters (note my reported) many people just grobble if the neighbors ankle biting chihuahua bites them but your pitbull bit me now i have to report it to everyone
ALSO the freaking number of the dogs out there. YES there are bad breeders that give the breed a bad name, but if you go to the shelter and spend some time with a pit/pit-mix you can very likely come out with a great dog.

Sounds like a recipe for coyote and catfish bait...

Me too. Why the unreasoning hate?
I have yet to encounter a nasty pit bull or mix. And I have, a number of them. But then again, I don't hang out with the sort of people that like or tolerate mean dogs.
I'm a a Lab man myself - and I've encountered a few nasty ones, and their owners. Man, you gotta work at that with a Lab! There are, of course exceptions. If you have a mean tempered dog, by ownership, training, not training, encouragement, or basic nature- who is it ultimately at fault?
I'm no fan of Rottweilers. I've never met a mean one of those- or a Dobie, for that matter - but I just don't care for them. There are some I have avoided, because obviously they were doing a job- self ascribed or not- that told me they'd take my throat off if I messed/approached/petted them. I ain't terribly bright, but you have to be pretty stupid not to read dog behavior. Yeah, I've been bit - my fault mostly. Or at least not the dog's under reasonable circumstance. The other two - well- they didn't survive the bite
incident by much.
A couple weeks ago I was coming into Manley Hot Springs Landing in my boat. Saw this Native kid "pretend beating" his 120-130 lb. Rotty with an 8' foot pole. Dog looked real worried- not!
Later the kid told me that the dog growled at us as we were idling down -. doing his duty warning the kid, apparently, because as soon as we landed, the dog came racing over to us- 40 yards away- and DEMANDED to be petted. First by me (thoroughly)- then by my son - less so. My kid's a freak, IMO.
Native kid said- "You know, most people are afraid of my dog- I was only pretend beating him, and he's a really nice dog."
I could tell. Hell, I'd have taken him home. The dog - not the kid, tho the kid seemed just as nice. His parents might have objected.
You get what you train, own, accept, with due allowance for temperament as an individual. If you have a dog that attacks, maims, kills - that's on you Sport, no matter what the breed. Your rational treatment of this subject will fall on deaf ears if addressed to the hysterics who obsessively put up posts hostile to this breed. Your reality isn't.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

It's no use, the Pitt supporters are just as clueless as the Hillary supporters. A lot like religious nuts of pretty much every persuasion. I could agree with that if I add that not all religious people are nuts. Some are and could be just as dangerous, but in general there's no comparison. My "faith" won't escape my yard and kill your kid.
