We all love our pets and even imagining one of my beloved cats, poodle, or any person, in the jaws of a pit bull is horrifying--their method of attack is terrifying, and they clearly enjoy inflicting suffering in as prolonged a fashion as possible-and what other breed, what other species, does that? It's good that your dog is "sweet" but, you know, dogs of any breed, well socialized, are sweet--some are even intelligent! I think that people with pit bulls are using the dog as a prop to make a statement,and its not a flattering one--by the way, how is the dog contained while you're in college?<br /> You were brave, if foolhardy, to come on this site; neither side will sway, and you've failed to say anything that hasn't been drearily chanted to infinity-and isn't it painful to have to defend your choice of breed? <br /> Also, you're smart enough to consider college, so I'd be interested to know what your first thoughts are after hearing of a mauling or killing by a dog. Would it be "I hope it wasn't a pit bull!'?<br /> Strange, isn't it.SadFaladahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17968323254262353173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325894281523642428.post-60744164029587166652010-05-26T10:22:13.278-07:002010-05-26T10:22:13.278-07:00Out of all the dogs shot by cops or another person...Out of all the dogs shot by cops or another person, how many owners dived in front of the gun to save their dog?

http://www....Another pit nutter victim speaks out.<br /><br />http://www.thereporter.com/opinion/ci_15132813<br /><br />More than 12 years ago, we got a puppy. He was an English Staffordshire bull terrier (not a pit bull). He grew up with the family and knew all of us. He was fun, a darn good guard dog and never hurt anyone. And he loved the grandkids. He was great. His name was Vicious -- an oxymoron, considering. Then he got cancer and we had to have him put down. It really hurt me to do it, I loved him so.<br />A few weeks ago, my youngest son, whose kids were closest to Vicious, got a dog from some fellow who told him that the dog had been beaten a lot. When I saw her for the first time, she was friendly enough, but there was something about her I didn't like. She was skittish and unsure of everything around her. She was a 2-year-old Brindle pit bull -- a real pit bull.<br /><br />Comes May 12, early in the evening. The kids are playing around as they usually do, and dad is eating or something. TV's going. You know, normal household. Then the unthinkable happens. The dog lunges at my youngest grandson, who is almost 2, and grabs him by the face. Malachi screams. The dog won't let go. She's ripping his face up, and blood is going everywhere.<br /><br />My son and his wife try to get the dog off, but she won't let go. Then my son hauls off and kicks the dog; she lets go, flies across the room and hits the wall. Mom is trying to comfort her child and stop the bleeding, and she's covered with blood.<br /><br />Someone calls 911 and the Fire Department and Police Department are right on it. They take real good care of my grandson and take him to Vaca Valley Hospital. But they have to ship him to Oakland Children's Hospital for treatment. The arrangements are made and off he goes.<br /><br />When he gets there, he is quickly evaluated and then sent to surgery. A plastic surgeon works on him for several hours, reconstructing his face. When he comes out of surgery his face is all blown up. His right eye is swollen shut. There are lacerations on his eyelid, above his eye on the brow, below the eye, and several smaller ones scattered on his face. And there is a long laceration on his left arm. The eye itself is undamaged, thank God.<br /><br />Later in the day, he's more alert and coming around. There are no words to describe how he looked, and how I felt. I was in total shock. I still am. His face is seared into my memory.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Animal Control takes the dog away. If she hasn't been destroyed yet, I will do it. I am consumed with hate for that dog, and for pit bulls in general.<br /><br />All my life, I have had dogs. I loved dogs, they were the greatest things since horses. A good horse, a good dog and a good truck ... that's living. Now, I wouldn't give you two cents for a pit, and dogs are off my Christmas card list for a while.<br /><br />The only dog I would love to have back right now is Vicious, but that's it. He would have killed that pit, for sure.<br /><br />However, people have the right to choose for themselves, and if they want to own a pit bull, that's their business. I am not going to begin a campaign to have pits destroyed, chained up, locked up, or something -- just keep them away from me and my family. There will be no more dogs in my family for a long time to come, if ever. And that goes for cats, too.Bagheera Kiplingihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302038784657563583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325894281523642428.post-36335023726588316212010-05-20T13:30:03.587-07:002010-05-20T13:30:03.587-07:00All of these "perfect pit bulls" exist o...All of these "perfect pit bulls" exist only on the internet...I have sure as hell never met one. Funny thing is, if you spend some time on the dog message boards and forums, and listen to all the nutjob pit bull owners, (mostly young women) who go on and on about their dogs.....if you are patient, what you will often find is that many of these women end up posting about their dogs aggression problems eventually, especially aggression toward other dogs in the houshold. For every pit bull attack recorded in the media, there are probably 100 that aren't...especially when the pit bites the owner/family when they try to break up a dog fight between their luvbugs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325894281523642428.post-64701991629510110642010-05-20T12:09:29.718-07:002010-05-20T12:09:29.718-07:00let them think you are me. really, who the fuck ca...let them think you are me. really, who the fuck cares what they think?scurrilous amateur bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575387156203723911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325894281523642428.post-47622020280118147272010-05-20T11:33:21.746-07:002010-05-20T11:33:21.746-07:00I don't like the story about my brother being ...I don't like the story about my brother being downplayed.

At home with mommy and daddy? In an off campus apartment? Who carries the insurance IF your perfect dog ever bites someone? Because I am betting you are like most pit bull owners...no assets, no insurance, and, as my grandmother used to say, you don't have a "pot to piss in", so good luck to any poor kid who gets bitten by your dog.<br /><br />Even if you live with mommy and daddy, I am betting their insurance carrier has no idea they are harboring a pit bull. So if your dog does bite someone, their carrier won't cover the claim. <br /><br />Which is why you see far more pit bulls in the ghettos and trailer parks than in the nice, safe, clean neighborhoods where people work hard and take care of their property.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325894281523642428.post-87811714902135801182010-05-20T10:28:04.679-07:002010-05-20T10:28:04.679-07:00Hey college student...you never answered my questi...Hey college student...you never answered my question...what went wrong with Rachael Ray's dog?

Why is she so aggressive with other dogs...to the point of wanting to kill them? <br /><br />Rachael Ray bragged and bragged about her pit bull, and opined endlessly about how pit bulls had to be abused and trained to fight. Just like you. Just like the many asshole pit bull owners I know personally whose dogs have gone on to attack people or other animals, after they INSISTED that their dog was different.

I never abused him, he always had plenty of food and water, he was house trained, walked well on a leash, and was obedience trained, and well loved.<br /><br />I never had any trouble with him, he never showed any signs of aggression, or any thing remotely "bad". I would have defended him to anyone on this blog saying that he was completely trustworthy and loyal.<br /><br />Until he was four years old. He chased the meter man (same one we've always had) out of the yard with such vicous snarling and barking that it shocked me. He started jumping our fence to chase cats, and other small animals. We are so lucky that he didn't catch any of them.<br /><br />The last straw was when my brother came to visit. He had visited several times before and had played with both of my dogs without any trouble. Both dogs greeted him at the door with no problem. My brother walked over to me to give me a hug, and my pit bull went nuts.<br /><br />He went after my brother so fast that at first he just looked down at the dog as it tore into his leg. Then I guess adrenaline kicked in and we somehow managed to get the dog off and lock him into the bathroom where he started barking, snarling, and throwing himself at the door.<br /><br />After that, I went on line and started researching the breed. Four years too late. My brother walks with a limp now, and it's all my fault. I hope some other pitbull owners wake up to see their pitbulls for the monsters they really are before it's too late.<br /><br />Thank you for this blog, and for being so blunt with pitbull owners who come here to defend their monsters.

This disconnect between reality and their fantasy world is common in pit bull owners, "she was just curious, playing, protecting, scared, provoked, it was an accident..." the list of breed specific excuses is a very long one. Please do not attempt to tell victims that we do not understand you,we understand you all too well. Be aware that you will be held responsible for your choices. Babygirl's owners were held responsible for theirs. My advice to you is make sure you have good insurance and make sure your insurance agent is aware that Tink is a pit bull.
