It's ironic to me that a lot of the people who are staunchly against pitbulls for safety concerns come across as unstable, angry people.

Crazy? Can you be crazy while saying the exact truth of the situation? Firstly, anecdotes are not evidence of any truth. Secondly, the source I have for reported fatalities from dog bites for 2016 (the most recent data) shows that it's significantly less than 82% (closer to just above 50%), and even that number is believed to be confounded secondary to misinterpretation of the bull dog breed. https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities-2016.php --- ...

Anecdotes aren't hard evidence of any truth, yet they are all the pit bull apologists are supplying here.
I've supplied cold hard data showing that pitbulls are the most lethal and dangerous dog in America. And all the pit bull apologists have supplied is, "One time I met a pit bull and it didn't kill me on that particular occasion" --- This is my signature. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Good Lord, I'd be willing to bet that you wouldn't be able to identify a Pit Bull if $500 was riding on it. I'm more apt to listen to canine behaviorists, trainers and over 20 years of my own personal experience with dogs than shrill emotional sensationalism. And just to put it out there since I see it posted so many times, dogsbite.org is like the David Wolfe or mommyblogger.org of canine websites. It's not run by a canine expert and any short haired breed is a Pit Bull in their eyes. --- "If you want to move fast, practice slowly...if you want to move like lightning, practice in stillness." ...

I agree that Pit Bulls are a problem while also agreeing that it is mostly a problem with the owners.
To a certain extent its a self reinforcing cycle. Pit Bulls have the worst reputation of any dog in America so responsible people are far less likely to choose to own a pit bull. Meanwhile the people that go out looking for a mean looking dog will often choose a pit bull. That being said Pit Bulls were and still are bred to fight and its entirely possible that they are naturally more aggressive. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If anyone is willing to discuss actual human/dog safety measures then I'm game, otherwise miss me with the sensationalist bs.
The initial article (what started all of this madness in this topic) does not even concern Pit Bulls. Calling a 125 lb dog a Pit Bull would be like calling a Harlequin Great Dane a Dalmation, it's madness and contributes to the hysteria. --- "If you want to move fast, practice slowly...if you want to move like lightning, practice in stillness." ...

The problem with pit bulls is that they are extremely strong and their jaws are shaped in a way that if they bite you you just can't free yourself of their grasp because the grip is too powerful.
I don't know if you're more likely to be bitten by a pit bull than by another dog. But if you do get bitten, it's much worse if the dog that bites you is a pit bull. --- I don't hate people, people hate me. ... Copied to Clipboard!

While I don't have much to say on the debate at hand, I know I will never own another pit bull again. The conditions in which we kept ours was fine, that is, until we had to move in with a friend for about 3 months, and thus, our pit was exposed to harsher conditions such as being chained outside during inclement weather. That's when he went from harmless to full-out hunter, killing rodents in the area, biting humans and picking fights with other dogs.
I can admit that it appears as if the drastic shift in my pit bull's lifestyle (like he was human or something) most likely contributed to his aggressive nature afterwords, but just the fact that he was so easily provoked is enough for me to not want to chance living through that again. Just the peace of mind taking my dog on a walk around the block was shattered when I knew that any and everything that dared threatened him would set him off. I'd compare his temperament to the one friend we all have that's great to be around, but we know the party's over if someone bumps into him/steps on his shoes. Hot heads are prone to ruining a lot of fun, overall. See: little man complex. That's how I feel about pit bulls. Sure, they're awesome dogs, but don't piss them off, and sorry, but that's just not worth it for me. --- PSN: TheGreatRadsby Alpha Sapphire: 1306-7761-6075 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I can't help but feel that the imagined danger of the pitbull breed, but people being ok with german shepards (which are just as fucking dangerous) is just because they associate shepherds with police dogs, and pitbulls with the hood movie dogs. My cousins fight their pitbulls and the shit is despicable, but when not treated like shit they are some of the kindest dogs, won't even fight back to defend their lives honestly. Hopefully, pitbulls stop being gotten by shitty owners, but with goofy people constantly propagating the myth, the terrible owners gonna keep believing it unfortunately.

That's when he went from harmless to full-out hunter, killing rodents in the area, biting humans and picking fights with other dogs. I figured I would get this kind of response. While I did say I can see how my treatment of my pit bull certainly attributed to his aggressiveness, my point was that I don't want a dog (or breed of dog) that is prone to such a drastic shift in temperament. For the sake of relevance, I did not mention my aforementioned friend's house also had a dog that my dog had to share a space with. He was a lab, and he fought as well, but only when provoked (by my dog, usually) and never against complete strangers. That's the type of dog I'm used to: ones that fight solely to defend themselves, not merely for the sake of sport. I see your points regarding external factors such as environment, type of ownership, etc. contributing the the dog's aggression levels. I, however, due to my own experiences, feel like pit bulls are hot heads. Sure, I may have shortened the fuse on my pit bull, and I can take ownership of that, but that doesn't simply excuse his behavior in the months afterword. --- PSN: TheGreatRadsby Alpha Sapphire: 1306-7761-6075 ...
