Maggie’s Officially hunting pit bulls...

Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

The only dogs that have ever attacked me (three times) were pits, though I've never been bitten. They were always called off/back by their owner.

The last time is when a pit/boxer cross came charging up the river at me (fly fishing) in the center of town (off the leash). It got to about 10yrds and then stopped and charged back down the river to it's owner who was freaking out screaming it's name but I thought I was a goner. I got my CCW right after that and specifically because of that and next time it (no matter the breed) will not get that close.

That being said: You're about to see a shit storm of "it's not the dog, it's the owner" and the last thread with this topic was locked pretty quickly. I don't have a problem with that breed specifically but I am cautious around all dogs in general.
 
Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

Not so much owner/dog for my arguement. Mine would be, saying it on the internet is one of two things. Pure bullshit and you will not follow through or a confession of premeditated destruction of another's persons property.

Where the hell were the kids parents? Detailing the car!!! FAIL
Not the dog, not its owner... the kids family failed to keep him safe. My 3 and 5 year old never leave sight... ever!
 
Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

It's definately a mix of both the dog and the owner. Some pits just have a mean streak that comes out of nowhere, like the old dog that used to live next to me. Owners trained him well and treated him well, but as he got older he became really aggressive and they had it put down. More often than not though people buy pit bulls because of their reputation and don't bother spending the cash to train them right, and they have a rotten dog from the start. I kind of put the blame on the father in this case though, since he let his 4yo wander into a neighbors backyard which was full of dogs. Anyway you slant it its a very tragic event and I feel sorry for everyone involved.

In this day and age it amazes me the young children I see just wondering around without adult supervision.

In my experience, 98% of the time the owners are the dumbasses that can't control themselves less alone another living creater!
I truly don't mind this breed being banned as it is in Miami,Dade County Fl., for the sake of the dogs!

Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

Yeah I reacted with emotion as it hits close to home. I pictured my 3 year old getting chewed on. Sure it's a mix of parent and owner but these beasts were tied up. I can only imagine the little boy thought they were cute. Just other day I was, again running down the road and was nearly bit by a Shepard. Thing was quiet and I only saw him at full run at the very last second. Yelled NO, drew my weapon and was intent on killing it until it offered me its nose. This happens a lot on my route, mostly I look out for the pits, as they are normally the only ones that give me shit.

There, I fixed it for you. ANY dog can kill. Well, maybe not a toy chihuahua. How about any dog can be aggressive. Gentle breeds can turn mean and so called aggressive can be raised to be gentle loving members of the family. I personally have never met a pit that I felt threatened by but I had a black lab try to rip my throat out when I was in second grade. I had half the skin on my chin hanging down like a flag bowing in the breeze. If I had turned my head to the right instead of the left when I jumped back, I probably would have been killed. A black lab people, not a pit.

Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

I had my pitbull for 6 years. He passed away last week from kidney failure. Best dog I have ever had. He meant the world to me and I would get another in a heart beat. He protected my house and family.

My pit loved people. But he knew when it was time to go into protection mode. He never bit or got cross with anyone. He might be a rare one but I loved him and he loved us more then anything. The day we put him to sleep he tried several times to lick us but did not have the strength, he had lost 30 pounds in under 2 weeks.

Don't always be so quick to judge a dog by its breed. Worst dog I have ever been around is a Dalmatian. My uncle owned it, it attacked me and anyone that would come up to his house. Once it got a taste of mace it quite being such a pain in my ass.

Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

Reading that article why isnt that father in trouble for the boy wandering off? He had a history of it..... so clearly the father has better things to do then watch his 4 year old son, who has no idea what danger really is. But hey, that damn car wont detail itself. The day my car is more important then watching my son in the yard is the day hell freezes over
 
Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

Wow, shit happens, kids wonder off, and I don't trust any animals. Certain dogs much less than others.
We have 4 kids and live on a farm. They wonder off very quickly. My wife always lets me know when kids are outside because they wonder off so quickly just being kids, I don't want to run over them. Found our 2 year old on top of a grain bin the other day. That will give ya a heart attack. He was up there in just a few minutes max. They normally never leave the yard. You can't child proof the world.
Some things set animals off more than others. I've seen cows that are never a problem to work with suddenly start attacking everyone and a couple were jumping 6 foot fences simply from how one person reacts around them.

Very bad thing that happened. Please don't start throwing shit when no one knows what happened for sure, it never helps any situation!

I have 2 kids actually. Dont start the pity party.

Being a single parent doesnt have shit to do with this. Because your a single father you cant watch your child play outside?! Please....

Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

Damn. Last time our town made Fox news is when we had 18 or so illegals die in an 18 wheeler from heat exhaustion circa 2003.

I feel bad for the guy who lost his pet. Had to put my friend of 15 years down not too long ago.
 
Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

I have seen good pits and bad pits. It is horrible what I see about the dog attacks here where I live. Kids mauled. These are the thugs, gang bangers dogs doing it. I agree it is the way the owner brought up the dog. I have a buddy that has a pit and that dog rocks. I have a blast every time I am around it. I do not worry about him because I know how my buddy raised it. Now, if I was to do something to him or his family, I get what I have coming.

KYS338, sorry for your loss, I know what it is like to loose your friend.

You said a Shepard almost bit you while on a run and then offered you kisses after you drew down on it. It's like you have a beast mode button. Angry dog blast that fucker. No wait, its not angry. Puppy kisses yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh.

This would have been avoided if you were at home talking shit on the Internet. Like it says above. Pure Bullshit. You are on a mission to kill these dogs. Don't back down now. Walk up to homes and exterminate these foul vermin. Kids playing with dog in yard. Bang. No more pit. Dog in fenced in yard. Bang. No more pit. If it was an unfenced pool would you drain the water out of every pool in the great state of Texas?

Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

Here is what happened to my cousin about a week ago.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Woman attacked by dogs, pushes for new law</span> <--Link

4f68fefcab1a5.preview-300.jpg


Pits are one of a few breeds that are capable of causing this much damage in such a short amount of time but she and I agree that it is all in how they are raised. I think if your dogs leave your property and attack an innocent person then you should be held accountable as if they were your children that attacked and mauled or killed someone for no reason.

In the case of the story in this thread, I don't think any parent should let a kid that young wander off especially if they are known to do it. Seems like the kid wandered onto the neighbors property and was attacked by the dog or dogs. It could have just as easily wandered into the neighbors pond or into a busy street. Sucks that it happened but you have to keep track of young children especially if there are immediate threats on their life within a short walk. Ex: Neighbors dogs, a lake or pool, train tracks or a busy road.

I think any dog that has mauled or killed an innocent person that was not on their property should be put down. I also think if a dog has mauled or killed a kid that wandered onto its property would have to be put down just to make sure that dog would never do something along those lines again. I think if a dog mauls and or kills a trespasser, fugitive or thief then they should get dog treats and praise.

Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

Haha sorry *Shank and thanks man. It will be a tough road to recovery both mentally and physically but she is tough. The dogs were put down for it which I agree with in this case. I also think the owner should be responsible for what they did since they left the property and attacked unprovoked. I think they should pay hospital and rehab bills.

She had muscles and tendons hanging off of her and wounds to the bone with major arteries exposed but not torn or cut. Was in surgery for over 5 hours. <span style="font-weight: bold">Lucky it wasn't worse and very fortunate that her small kids weren't with her</span>.

I will say that some of the coolest and best behaved dogs I have ever been around were different breeds of pits. On the other hand some are also the most Debo/Charlie Manson dogs I have ever met. You can directly affect how your dog will act by how you raise them. Treat them bad and beat them and watch your ass, or your ankles, depending on the breed.

Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

There was no leash law so technically they didn't break any written laws I guess but yeah it's pretty f'd up.

She is using what happened and the attention the story has brought to get the leash law. As far as I know she is not going after the owners for criminal charges or anything like that. I do think no matter what she is after that they should be paying for her surgery, rehab and whatever else seems fit.

That's exactly what happened. I like must just as much as the next guy, so no, I didn't put it down. What I did was run to the house, get in the truck, and went back to talk to the home owner. Turns out his Sheppard has a bad habit of getting off his leash and doing this often. And, he has no issue with it being hammered if need be. Imagine running down a country road, and a 100 pound dog tearing ass after you. Only you never see him until you hear his jewels at the very last second. I'm glad I took the extra 2 seconds to assess, as he changed his mind..

Drink some genny and eat a taster cake, take it easy.
 
Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

An ex girlfriend of mine had her face nearly torn off by a german shepard. She had to have over 30 reconstructive facial surgeries. Large, powerful dogs can be dangerous. Its really just a math problem. Pitts are one of the most prevalent dog breeds right now. If you go to a pound to adopt a dog, the pound will be full of pitts. The amount of pittbulls out there, combined with the fact that some pretty shitty, stupid people are attracted to owning them leads to some biting problems.

I almost agree with this. Any breed can be agressive, but some continually show up in the news. You dont hear of cocker spaniels or Labs mauling someone every week. Pitbulls all the time. Had the kid wandered into a labs yard he might have gotten bitten, but not mauled to death. Anyone with a grain of sense should be able to add 1+1 and get the same answer. Your not allowed to keep lions or tigers (without special licsense) for a reason that you can have a 50 caliber but not a nucluer weapon.

Doh.

Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

Some dogs are bad most are good. If you are a jack ass around them expect to get bit.

A person has to know how to act around a dog. It sucks that people do not know these things. I had a neighbor and his boy that would taunt my other neighbors dog. I told him he should stop because he is just making the dog mad. He told me "If he bits he will be put down." I told the dog owner and started shooting his kid with a paint ball marker every so often. Nothing crys like a kid who was hit in the ballzack with a paint ball. I got the Dad a few times also. Dad never cryed but I got him in the butt with one that did not break and his kid was behind him with a stick. I am laughing right now but still fee bad that kid got a licken for that one.

They moved a few years after that. Too bad I had to start my own garden after they moved. There

Maggot,
The problem is that the media names every dog a pit bull before they even get the info. Why?? Because that SELLS the headline! Take look at the posted article, the only mention of PITBULL is in the title of the article, NO WHERE ELSE.

I own and work with Pitbulls, I've been bitten a time or two. But, I've been bitten WAY more from other breeds. The times I have been bitten it was mostly my fault and I was pushing the tolerance of a dog I was working with.

More then once, sometimes a week after the original story came out, the media has had to print retractions for calling a dog a Pitbull when it was a Retriever or something.

I'd like to see a picture of the dog in question in the article.

The problem with Pits is that gangster, thugs, and other penile challenged tough guys like them so they can boost their image. When the dog isn't aggressive enough they sometimes starve them, chain them in the back, beat them and other things to try to make them mean and aggressive. They are over bred and most end up in the shelter because even well meaning owners are too fucking lazy to give them the exercise they need and they start tearing the house up because they need to get out a run around.

Pits are the media bad dogs right now because thats what sells. Take a look at the history of the Pitbull sometime. http://whatapittie.org/proud-history-pitbull.html

The dog from the Little Rascals was a pit, Pitbulls have gone to WAR with us. Take a look at the link above, Stubby, Jack Brutus, Old Harvey, Jack, Sallie, all mascots for Infantry units and some went to combat with them.

Please, before you jump to a conclusion fed to you by the media which is represented by a small amount of dogs who have been neglected by shitty owners or a reacting to the way their life has treated them, take some time and educate yourself.
 
Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

I have a female pit that is the NICEST dog I have ever owned. Likewise my dad has a fullgrown male that is likewise lovable and never bitten anyone. And both were rescue dogs that were saved from ignorant owners.

Dogs reflect their owners. Treat them well and show them love and they usually do the same. There are bad seeds in all breeds, and that applies to mankind as well.

To generalize a breed is STUPIDITY and IGNORANCE.
 
Re: Officially hunting pit bulls...

I think some of it is also bred into the dog. Mostly for fighting purposes. If it is timid or tame it is used as a victim for a dog with a bad disposition. Everyone wants the biggest baddest mutherf***er the world has ever seen. When they get that dog and it does something bad they say they are just picking on pits. IMHO.

Historically, if a fighting dog had shown ANY aggression toward humans it was PUT DOWN immediately because the handlers NEEDED to be able to enter the ring and handle the dog without being bit. Like I said above, take a look at the history before you make a comment and jump on any bandwagons. At first the dogs were immediately killed if the presented any aggression toward a human, later they were neutered so they could not breed.

So, historically, human aggression was BRED OUT OF PITBULLS. So, read up and maybe adjust or retract your statement.
