Hate to tell you but your pit bull sucks

[john]

I swear if I hear one more person tell me pit bull terriers are misunderstood and no more aggressive than any other dog I might just punch a baby.

I go to the dog park every day.  And many many times these idiots will show up with their pit bull(s).  Most of the regulars will move to the opposite end of the park and try to keep their dogs away from them.  Why?  Because we have seen this show too many times.  So many times a fight breaks out.

Last night, a chihuahua got pounded by a pit, that for 30 minutes somehow managed to stay out of trouble, then *boom* out of nowhere it decided to tear up this little dog.  The chihuahua owner was standing next to her dog and somehow grabbed the pit by the collar and lift the dog off hers which ran off screaming.

Note to you pit owners:  We DO understand your dogs.  We have seen them in action.  In my case and others we have seen them try to attack our dogs.  You want to own a blood thirsty killer?  Do it in the comfort of your own home please.

Simple solution when you're there with your dog: carry a gun. Get a concealed carry permit. Get a small, compact .22.

The pit bull attacked. You were protecting yourself and others. A simple pulling of the gun might get the owner to control the dog. If not, one shot in the air. Still attacking? Pretend the pit bull is a raccoon. I know what to do with raccoons.

A good pellet pistol might be enough to scare away the dog. Get the BB tipped pellets. They pack a whollop. Raccoons don't like them. Pellet pistol would present fewer legal issues if someone wanted to be an @$$hole about it.

Video it, too. Proof the dog was vicious.

I like cats. Cats do not attack and kill other cats, dogs or babies or children the way dogs do. Cats control the rodent population which is a good thing (and why cats started living with humans once we started farming and storing grain.)

No problems here with PitBulls as they have been BANNED from ownership in this area.
It is illegal to own one

as much as I like dogs, and a mild mannered pit, ill blast it if I see it attacking unprovoked.

Pit bulls are nuts. Even though they are outlawed here in NSW, they are still very common here. The owners say they are "american staffordshire cross" breed. Next door has one, and it almost made it over my fence trying to attack my german shepherd til i punched it in the face! Fact is they were bred for aggression, and a leopard doesn't change it's spots.

The only good pit bull ever was Pete in the old Little Rascals show. That was probably before they started breeding them as killers.

[Zookmang]

I think petey was a bull arab terrier though.

[adidasguy]

I had heard pit bull, but I hate dogs and don't know breeds except dogs kill so you might be right. The circle on his eye was make-up, though. I do know that!.

CATS RULE!

The new Pete is a pit ... The original Pete was a American Staffordshire terrier

And yes I agree about the owners.

The pits, can be raised gentle. BUT theres always that agressiveness. for some reason, can be unleashed. and usually the answer is, " idk why it did that, it was ALWAYS gentle. look at the scientific assesment of of their build. the jaws especially have some SEVERE power to them. very difficult to get one to unclamp from a bite.

Well, in my house...  But those two are siblings, and they're constantly going at it for no reason.  Sorry, that one little point called to me.

This thread is mildly infuriating.

Pits were not bred for aggression. In fact, pits have been stereotypically used for dog fighting for just the opposite reason: they are not naturally aggressive towards humans. They are very protective of humans (not just their owners, unless specifically trained to be so), and in the past were considered a nanny dog because they were so gentle and protective around small children.

That said, if I owned a pit I would not take it to a dog park. The problem with pits is often their owners don't understand them. As I said, pits are very protective dogs, especially when around other dogs they aren't familiar with. If you take a pit to a dog park, it will be on edge, and one quick movement from a nearby dog could set it off. It is irresponsible for owners to take pits to dog parks. That doesn't make the dog bad, that makes the owner an idiot.

And many many times these idiots will show up with their pit bull(s).

According to Jackson on "My Cat from Hell", that behavior is usually due to how their home is set up. They each need their areas and probably they can't each have their own territory. Something like that. Separate food dishes, separate boxes, separate cat condos....  Cool show to watch. It's on Animal Planet.

Ah, but the important thing is they are not killing people or each other. Dogs would have fought to the death. Videos of kitty fights?


Digs: The good 'ol "They are protective". and what does that mean? They protect - to the death - their owner. In other words, kill everything except their owner. Isn't that what "protective" really is? Another dog comes near in the dog part and ATTACK! PROTECT OWNER FROM OTHER DOG! A person shows up? ATTACK! PROTECT OWNER FROM OTHER PERSON! I don't think it means to bark once and ask them to go away.

Pits will not attack people unless specifically trained to. It is against their nature.

there is a difference between "PROTECT" and "GO GET HIM BOY!"
The latter, that requires training to obey commands to go out and bite the crap out of someone for no reason other than obeying your trainer.
The former will happen all the time. Walk into a dog's territory and get bitten. Hence all the "beware of dog" signs and "don't pet a strange dog". Those dogs are not trained to attack, but have a natural instinct to guard their territory and often are trained to protect (which means bite the crap out of anyone that gets close.) Cats will most always run away or want your affection or give attitude then walk away. They won't attack you unless you grab them and they don't want it.

Cats, having more dexterity in their paws will often swat and bite as a last resort, for that "get away" action. Dogs: never seen one swat with a paw to tell you to go away. They bark with frothing mouth then bite. Cats go after mice and small birds. Dogs attack large animals and attack solo and in packs.

Dogs have very distinct body language, far before they even make noise. If you can't recognize that, it's your own fault.

Whatever....
