It's not doing anything except following natural instincts that the owner was too stupid / lazy to train him not to do.


Also, I very much enjoy the ignorant commentary in this thread that talks so much about how pit bulls never should have been bred, blah blah blah, and then talks about what menaces to people they are and conveniently ignores the fact that they were specifically bred to be extremely people-friendly.

Any dog can be vicious. It's on the owner, not the dog.
I'm not arguing otherwise, I have had far more experience in this matter than I ever cared to have. If we adopted every single critter that has wandered into our place after being dumped I would need a far larger paycheck than I get just to keep up with the feed, let alone the vet bills. The ones that go wild , well, sadly, adoption by anyone is not an option. They have the blood fever. Ever see what a pack or even one good sized single, feral dog can do to a calf or foal? I have, and it ain't pretty. Oh, I am plenty pissed at the former 'owners' and would beat a mudhole in them, given the chance, but that is easier said than done. They don't usually hang their name and address on a dumped critter, though I dearly wish they would. I have three dogs, all just big fluffy lover pups. I am a dog lover. Big time. I don't enjoy having to put one down, not even a nasty feral. But sometime what you want to do and what you have to do are not the same thing.

Pitt bulls have not been around since 1800's. They are a reltively recent cross breed from the early 1900's.

The only reliable method is a gun. Strangleholding the thing or knifing it to death is not an option for women or children or elderly.

There is another video like this floating around out there, where an Akita attacks a small boy at a supermarket parking lot, kid goes to the hospital, Dad goes looking for the dog. Finds the dog tied up behind a crappy duplex near the store. Dad has a bat, lady who owns dog tells dad he will NOT hurt her dog. then turns dog loose on Dad. Dad beats dog to a pile of goo. Police arrest stupid meth head beoch for assault and keeping a vicious animal.

Wrong.


Pit Bull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:


The United Kennel Club (UKC) was the first registry to recognize the American Pit Bull Terrier.[8] UKC founder C. Z. Bennett assigned UKC registration number 1 to his own dog, "Bennett's Ring", as an American Pit Bull Terrier in 1898.[5]



How could he have recognized a breed years before it came about?

Oh .. and it's all perfectly legal by the way .. it's the law of the land ..

As land owners, we are well within our rights to protect our pets and domestic livestock ..
LMAO!

4 pits down in 3 years SINCE THE DRUGGIES MOVED IN. Seems to me you are accidentally admitting that you damn well know its the owners, not the breed.

I have no problem with people protecting their property, although using a little common sense is the right thing to do. If you shoot a dog that comes on your property ONLY because it is a pit, you are an ignorant moron that is wasting oxygen. If you shoot it because it makes any type of aggressive move that threatens you or your property, you are well withing your rights. Since you admit it is irresponsible owners that have brought the dogs to your street, the dogs likely are a danger. They are probably not socialized, not neutered, and kept confined or on chains, all things that lead dogs to be aggressive. Over 98% of fatal attacks are by unneutered male dogs, most of which were kept confined or on chains.

At least you admit it is the owners, not the breed. I was beginning to wonder if you had any rational thoughts in your head...

The Sheriff had already warned/cited them .. They still live there, but are not as "noticeable" as when they first moved in. They don't own livestock and every year it's all about us trying to get them to mow the weeds (fire hazzard) ...
Again, you are admitting it is the owners, not the breed.

I peppered a bassett hound about ten years ago in the butt with rock salt for getting into the garage (garbage) and the old fool was smart enough to stay away after that. I did the same with two of the Pits down the road too .. trouble was that they were too stupid to stay away and, well, we all know the rest of that story.
Wow, thanks for the analysis Mr Scientist. The pit bulls came back to your garbage after you peppered them, which must mean they are unintelligent. Ever stop to think their pain threshold is much higher than a little basset hound? Nah, you wouldn't bother stopping to think. Thinking appears to be quiet a challenge to you.

I never understood why they can't just tell you to ram your thumb down straight into the dogs eyeball as hard as you can. It might be gross to rip an eye out - but that's certainly going to make the animal stop killing you.

Right, good luck attempting to ram your thumb into a dog's eyeball while it is attacking you. You don't stand a chance, unless it is a toy breed.

This entire thread proves just how helpless human beings are versus animals. Animals know how to defend themselves whereas a human being needs an armed weapon to cause damage. Boy are we superior or what?
