Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Another loving Pit Bull

Broke through a fence and attacked 2 children in a minivan strapped in their car seats. Sounds like the boy pretty much got his face chewed off.

They should be outlawed except for specialty tasks and owners who are properly licensed to do so. Everybody else should be off limits.

Nobody would be allowed to own a wild animal in their back yard that could kill people in a normal neighborhood. These things are no different in my mind. When was the last time you walked down a street and watched a snarling bear, wolf, or lion on the other side of a fenced in yard?

Then there is this one. It never ends and people never learn. Every pit bull owner insists to the end all pitt bulls especially there own are harmless balls of fluff and if you are attacked you deserved it. The best medicine for them is a .45

Outlaw all dogs, people should only own cats.

I do believe folks would take their canine pal selection a bit more seriously if they knew that they would be criminally responsible for said dog's behavior. By that, I mean that whatever the dog does IS as if the registered owner (in the case of fighting breeds) did it, up to and including murder. This BS needs to stop.

I'm not one for regulating everything and having the government in people's business, but the primary responsibility of even a limited government is enacting laws for the protection and good of its citizens.

We don't allow by law a 9 yr old to drive a vehicle down an interstate. Why? Because they are behind the wheel of something that will maim and kill people, and at that age even though they have the coordination and ability to drive, they cannot grasp or understand the responsibility and consequences of what can happen with a vehicle.

Pit Bulls are the same way....owners who treat them just as dogs like they are dealing with the family lab, who are not very good dog handlers to begin with, and cannot recognize dangers, same as a 9 yr old. Laws need to be passed that make it unlawful for the average person to own something like this. They've proven again and again and again, they are not a normal dog.

I'd like to see a knock-down, drag-out match between the moslems and the pitbulls for who is the most peaceful.

There should be more consequences for dog owners.

police K9 attacks LEO should have shot the fckr right there and then, right?

Possibly. Don't know the whole story....if it was mistaken identity in close quarters, then it was a mistake. If the dog lost it and turned and attacked for no reason, then yes, I would have no problem doing what I've done before with some dogs that needed it. Never, ever, ever, is a dogs life even a consideration compared to a human. If I have a dog that snarls or bites at somebody unprovoked and for no reason, then they better enjoy the short walk that is about to happen in the next few minutes. Nevermind breaking out of their area and going "hunting" for an innocent victim to attack like in the original news story posted. Your example is hardly a comparison to unprovoked attacks again and again and again by pit bulls. In some cases attacking their own owners who were just hanging out with them at the time. And the victims of such attacks don't just walk away holding their bitten hand.

I'll bet that in every instance, someone either had his finger on the trigger or had been messing with the settings on the trigger.

Shouldn't need saying, but dogs of every breed occasionally go "bad" and do something shocking like this, yet don't make headlines. Main factor determining whether or not it makes headlines is the extent of harm done. Pitbulls happen to be at the top of the list for capacity for harm, in the rare cases to do "bad" things. I put "bad" in quotes because it implies a capacity to make moral decisions, and dogs don't really have that ... not really.

Get rid of Ptibulls tomorrow, however, and the next most capable breed will take its place in these sorts of headlines. Eventually, should we choose to walk down that path, our laws will give us a choice between a Lab and Golden.

OK

Bullcrap. There are enough statistics to back up eradicating certain large dogs and sending their owners to the electric chair.

A man should get the death penalty for:

Driving under the influence
Texting whilst driving
Owning a dangerous animal breed that attacks a person
A firearm mishap in the hands of a child
Sexual Abuse

Sounds like you chose the right screen name for yourself.

Liberal

They definitely have a few screws lose.

Exactly.......it's very liberal of you to ask .gov to protect you from all those scary issues.
