You guys need to stop perpetuating pitbull culture. The news just loves to report the massive amounts of killing these dogs do. They can't help that their jaws are iron chomping machines. Also the owners are at blame, and the dude probably smelled like bacon or looked in their direction. Has nothing to do with the dogs being viscous as fuck by nature.

Which is almost always a direct result of its owner and environment. Chihuaha's don't have to be little biting shits either, if their owners would train and discipline the dog properly. My dog gets vilified because you don't know what responsible pet ownership looks like.
The thing is, I don't care about the cause if the result is that plenty of pitbulls are incredibly dangerous. Bad dog owners suck ass, obviously, but the truth is I'll go out of my way to avoid walking near your dogs. It's all, I'll be extra cautious with this breed.
BTW my dog who died last year at 15.5 years old never attacked anyone or anything, so I think I know indeed what responsible pet ownership looks like.
Nothing wrong with that as long as that includes other dog breeds that you believe can overpower you.

I would say that should be the case for anyone who wants to keep an animal. Every company already has to, there's no particular reason to exempt consumers from it, whereas they are the most likely to cause incidents like this one.
It would also make it far easier for the services to figure out where the bad owners are, and to fine accordingly. The problem really is that the animal is usually not the actual problem, but the legal structure in place makes it 'the animal's problem' anyway. Despite being 'owned' by another animal who should be fully responsible for it.
Ya I have no problem with people looking out for themselves or their dogs. Like I said, you can't know how a dog will react, and strong males of large breeds can be very dangerous. Just don't start attacking the specific breed on some bullshit stance that you don't apply equally to other dogs.
I don't get offended if people actively avoid me and my dog on the street or at the park, I don't expect everyone to be comfortable, and that's fine. Breed specific legislation and prejudice against certain breeds with poor arguments behind it is what bothers me.
Tbh.

Jesus, reminds me of the scene in Wolf Creek.
Jesus Fucking Christ, I've read it all now.
Just replace pit bull with black people?!
Sort yourself out.
Yup, I developed this habit because while walking my old little guy I always avoided "scary" looking dogs.
Then we're on the same page, really. Now, as the (former
) owner of a small, incredibly stable dog, I wouldn't mind legislation for all dogs. Not only because of possible attacks, but because most people are crappy owners, period. I'm pretty passionate about this issue.

Some dogs can be scary. What can you do when somthing like that attacks you ? It will crush your hands like its nothing. Hope I never will be in such a situation.
I honestly don't think the breed is inherently dangerous, but they are simply powerful dogs that many people have no business owning. We had a close family friend whose arm was ripped off, by her boyfriend's pit bulls that have known her for years. There's not much room for error as far as training goes, when the dog can easily maul you.
I have Bichonne Frisé, and he's not the best trained dog admittedly, but I at least know that in-case some freak occurrence does happen, the potential for bodily harm is severely limited. I like pit bulls aesthetically, but really don't think I have business owning one, my family is unstable and that shit would rub off. It definitely did on my Bichonne's crazy little ass, lol.
I really don't want to blame the animal, many people don't have any business with them. I can't blame someone who doesn't trust pit bulls, but I simply don't trust most humans to raise one with a good temperament, and place most of my blame there.

Exactly.
Defending pit bulls is one of the more dubious arguments I come across in any discussion here or anywhere.

I thought I had seen everything on GAF.... but you prove me wrong.
Shitty people should not be allowed to raise potentially dangerous animals/breeds. Its that simple.

American Bullies are as big of a joke as their owners.

Not the poor doggies fault. This is so sad.
You have thirteen dogs, living in the same house altogether.
Dogs, that ESCAPED from their owner's house. How does this fucking happen? Did the owner not secure the door?
I refuse to believe that this family was capable of raising all of these dogs right. This just reeks of animal neglect.

nope. just nope. thats a man eater.
I've only seen one dog as big as that one relative to my size, she was a rottweiler and thank the stars she found me friendly.
These prejudicial generalizations are just fantastic.

I was thinking the same thing.
I've yet to go to an animal shelter (I'm planning to some day), but is there any sort of papers or checks you need to sign when adopting any dog? Any sort of licensing?
.....Been bit by a couple big dogs too. Yep hands and feet are still where they're supposed to be -_-

I thought they were bred for the high pound per square inch crushing force of their bite for pit fighting. Hence "pit" bull.

If transplantation worked well with no compatibility issues, I'd say one hand per each owner, the opposite foot and let bygones be bygones. They ruined his life just so they could have their own Resident Evil circus, this needs to stop, for kids and adults alike.
That's not a pit. That's an American Bully, a joke of a breed like the French Bulldog.
Except most French Bulldog owners don't have micro penises.
Not cool. That cat died after that picture was taken.

The day that a Border Collie kills someone you can make this point....
There are plenty of large dogs with little to no aggressive tendencies.
There is definitely paperwork and signatures. They also suggest microchipping the dog, spay or neuter, (if it isn't already). Also go through some particulars of medical, securing the home for the animal, etc. But, most of the info is just for if something goes wrong, not to help prevent something going wrong, or making sure you are an upstanding pet owner.
That kind of vetting process usually only happens with Rescue Networks that ask you a ton of questions, visit your home, even contact references and background check in some extreme cases.

Ignorant post right there.
I have a Pitbull and he plays fetch and catches a frisbee. He is also deaf and I learned much about dog psychology and their intelligence when I learned how to train him (hired a trainer who specializes in deaf dogs of all breeds, not specific to pitbulls) using hand signals.
My dog knows more commands by hand than most other dogs do verbally.

For some interesting dog breeding traits British Bulldogs
The folds on their face where bred into to funnel blood away from their eyes when they where fighting bulls...
Read that somewhere. Been taken to the extreme now though.

When I picked up my pit from the animal shelter they literally just asked for the fee incurred for inoculations and I was out the door. She was from a litter of like 5 and it seems like they couldn't wait to get them out of there. Honestly it seemed like they did the bare minimum of work since I had to deworm her immediately upon brining her home.

Not to mention they're one of the absolute best breeds for training as therapy dogs.
That's why I don't think they should be allowed for Joe Shmoe to own as a pet. Unlicensed people should not be able to raise an animal that is capable to messing them up so badly, or even worse, messing up other people.
From the sound of this situation, it sounds like the guy was lucky to even make it out alive.
Last I checked Humans haven't domesticated Tigers through thousands of years of selective breeding and training.

.... domestication is not all its cracked up to be.
