It's time we ban pitbulls

[Richard_Cuckold]

Enough is enough. These dogs are way too strong & unpredictable. Plus, they are normally owned by the wrong people. Deadly combo right there.

This latest pitbull attack is absolutely heartbreaking.

A 14-month-old Wisconsin boy has died after a brutal attack by a pair of pit bulls, authorities said on Thursday.
Police received a call from Susan Iwicki, 30, on Wednesday saying that she and the young boy were being attacked by the dogs, according to local NBC affiliate WMTV. Iwicki told police that she and the boy had each sustained injuries.

The boy died of his injuries at a Milwaukee area hospital later on Wednesday, the Walworth County sheriff’s office said, according to The Associated Press.
The boy had the “biggest eyes, great smile,” family friend Valerie Brylow told local affiliate WTMJ. “He was a great little boy.”
“He is adorable, absolutely adorable,” Nicole Jennison, another family friend told the station.
The boy’s name has not been released, and an investigation continues. Both of the pit bulls were removed from the property and euthanized on Wednesday, WMTV reported.
The fatal dog attack was the first in Wisconsin in a decade, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Yeah, every breed has certain subtle differences in their characteristics. But on the basic, primal level, canines are canines.

Yep, our black lab would happily kill any animal smaller than her without a second thought. Luckily she is too slow and lazy to really pose much of a threat.

Have you owned a pitbull in your lifetime?
Or do you just base your opinions off of the interwebs and TV news stories?

Your first post failed! Supposed to be "your and idiot". Planet standards from way back.

People are going to believe what they want. I was wary of Pit Bulls too, until my wife insisted we adopt one (I was gone quite a bit). My mind was changed forever. That dog was my animal friend for 12 years, and hands down the best dog I have ever owned and it isnt even close. Highly intelligent, never barked, well behaved, never chewed on anything not offered him, gentle with children and slept for three weeks with my 75 year old arthritic mom in her bed. He'd whimper if she left the house...yes he was strong as hell and could bite through a car's tire- but bottom line he only wanted to please.

I posted the link below earlier in this thread, but this is worth checking out.

The thread title is so ignorant I thought for sure this was going to be a joke thread. Still not sure if trolling...

Combine improver training, with being tied up to a chain 24/7 and you would go crazy...I've been around numerous Argentino dogos down in Texas and they have been protected of the young kids.

There are simple, basic rules that people should follow with all dogs, such as never leaving an infant or toddler alone with any dog, and never keeping a dog as a pet if it's not one you could take down if you needed to. If people can't follow these types of rules, the dog breed is going to be irrelevant except for the final amount of damage, because you're just playing the odds at that point.

People follow icons, not logic.

If they knew that German Shepherds were more aggressive, more lethal, they wouldn't be talking about Pits.

There's a reason the police use GS's, there's a reason Nazi Germany used them too, and just about every police state that comes to mind.

There are places in this world where parents eat their old children to survive through hunger, and people want to bitch about a dog attack?

Here's a though, be responsible with your child, or don't leave its site. Simple ****ing rule, live by it or don't have kids.

After the first few posts, this thread had its own life.

[Chiefshrink]

I now expect the WH and the Marxist Dems to go after pit bulls with the same fevered pitch effort they do for our guns.

You know this thread went like 10 pages before your post right? Obviously troll or not it started an argument.

I personally think that breed is dumb as a ****ing brick and would never want one, having said that, my daughter has one that she couldnt possibly love more.

As others have said, the problem is mostly with the owners... people who want to own a pit should be vetted in some way, keeping them out of the hands of trash would go a long way towards helping the situation.

That argument borders dangerously close to the banning of guns argument. Careful now.

Some dumbshit, unleashed pit came running up on my dog and I today. Wish I would have stabbed it.
