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.


So you chained him to a post in the freezing cold and you expected him to be grateful? Do tell. Its almost like owning a pet is a responsibility and that neglect changes them somehow...


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.

Dude, your dog went from being the sole pet to in a house where it was welcomed inside to being chained outside through inclement weather where it was forced to compete for food with another dog. You're acting like that's a minor thing but that's pretty fucking huge lol. I believe I've already made a post in this topic about owners that just refuse to understand why their pets snap "for no reason".

Not to mention a completely different place where he was taken. So many people do next to no research on pets, the different breeds, what lifestyle would suit what breed, how things effect them and why, what they should eat, etc. etc. They're basically cute living toys until they get inconvenient.

It's pretty dumb to own a dog with such vicious killing instincts.

Pitbulls literally don't lol. They have to be beaten and abused to make them vicious. It's why whenever you see stories of them flipping out its because they've already gone through years or torment.


Bullshit. Samples of every breed of dog have been in less than ideal living situations, but pitbulls are the only ones latching onto people's necks and not letting go.

Because they have strong jaws. Strong jaws doesn't automatically preclude them to hurting people, the conditions that they're kept in does. If you set out to make your pitbull a vicious guard dog then that's exactly what you're going to get.


If you wanna go that route, then why not just keep a tiger as a pet? I don't keep a tiger as a pet because of the gigantic claws and teeth. I prefer having pets that can't kill me if they're slightly agitated.

Plus there's tons of dogs that are smart and loyal that DON'T kill people even though they can. Like German Shepherds.


You do realise that German Shepherds have one of the highest bite frequencies of any breed, right? They just don't tend to do as much damage as a pit bull does. My aunts old shepherd ripped a kids ear off because he kept spraying her with a water hose (they didn't get in trouble because she bit him while he was leaning over the fence into their backyard).

Also, are we even sure that the dogs in article are pitbulls? Firstly, pitbulls don't tend to get that heavy. Secondly, it looks more like my brothers Cane Corso in that pic than it does a pitbull. Corso's tend to be far bigger than pitbulls and a lot of people still confuse them. Hell, just yesterday my wife thought an American Bulldog was a pitbull. Very often dog attacks are listed as being done by pitbulls when the dog wasn't a pitbull.

>dog doesn't maul someone during testing means they must be safe and comparable to Golden retrievers

https://www.livescience.com/27145-are-pit-bulls-dangerous.html

A five-year review of dog-bite injuries from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, published in 2009 in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, found that almost 51 percent of the attacks were from pit bulls, almost 9 percent were from Rottweilers and 6 percent were from mixes of those two breeds.

They used to be known as a family dog prior to this. Pretty sure my properly-owned Aussie breed has a more aggressive temperament than properly-owned pit.

The bolded parts are exactly why I made my initial post about not wanting to own another pit. I don't want a dog so high maintenance, and yes, I say high maintenance because he expects to be treated humanlike, even to the levels that those defending the dog's behavior fail to see why such behavior is bad, that he completely turns into a blood thirsty killer over having to sleep outside for a bit. Of course humans have a moral compass and dog's don't. That's why all throughout this topic, people against pit bulls are saying they are dangerous.

I am not even trying to speak on behalf of all pit bulls, which is why I was open about the conditions my dog was in. But some of you are defending the dog anyways like the mother of a murderer defends her child. Sure, the still body laying on the floor may have provoked the guy, but he should have had the self control to not take it that far.

If you feel that pit bulls are "just animals," with no control over their actions beyond how they're treated, then that is exactly why they are harmful as house pets.

thats exactly the kind one of mine is. I will admit she is vicious towards opossum. but thats literally it, and she drops them when I tell her too. so far she hasn't killed any since fortunately she does listen to me. she just too damn fast for me to get her to stop before I realize shes got a hold of one. one time I thought she was going to kill a cat. but once she actually cornered it she just sniffed it, licked it and ran off. most of the outside cats eventually learned, if they don't run she pays them no mind.

He's got a point though. If a dog even remotely looks similar to a pitbull, they'll say it's a pitbull. Pitbulls have repeatedly been blamed for attacks by mastiffs, bulldogs, etc for years.

People repeatedly ask if my Corso is a Pit Bull. Despite being two to three times the size of one at 125 lbs and being a mastiff, and if that doesn't tip them off that she's not a Pit Bull her tail is docked at the 4th vertebrae per breed standard. Oh I often meet people that wonder if she's a Bull Mastiff too, um Bull Mastiffs don't have their ears cropped or tails docked.

He's got a point though. If a dog even remotely looks similar to a pitbull, they'll say it's a pitbull. Pitbulls have repeatedly been blamed for attacks by mastiffs, bulldogs, etc for years.


People repeatedly ask if my Corso is a Pit Bull. Despite being two to three times the size of one at 125 lbs and being a mastiff, and if that doesn't tip them off that she's not a Pit Bull her tail is docked at the 4th vertebrae per breed standard. Oh I often meet people that wonder if she's a Bull Mastiff too, um Bull Mastiffs don't have their ears cropped or tails docked.


i've never liked docking the tail or cropping the ears. though funny thing. my mom had a dog that had its tail docked, and it mated with another dog with a full size tail. and the pup came out with a nub despite both its parents by nature having longer tails than that.

Yes, some cats will bite/scratch you, but thats the thing: they cant kill you. A domestic cat has never killed a human being. A cat cant even kill a human baby. I feel actually safe around a cat. I never feel 100% safe around a dog, doesnt matter the breed. My friend used to have this Golden Retriever and kept her at the apartment. This dog would always bark at me and look me in the eyes as if it wanted to bite my ass. Sorry, I dont want to own anything that could eat my guts for breakfast.

Ain't really mental gymnastics, just a bit of integrity. Every single study that's been posted in this topic about pitbulls being vicious killers has said that they use news reports in order to compile their results. This very topic demonstrates why that's a pretty inaccurate way of determining the dangerousness of various dog breeds. If a reporter can't verify the breed of a dog that has just mauled someone to death then what makes you think a distraught parent or child can?

My friends cat had kittens 2 months ago. Mother is a himalayian-x. The cat they believed to be the father was a similar breed but black instead of the white/grey the mother is. All 3 kittens had short, hooked tails. This is something common in Southeast Asian cats but some other Tom probably dropped a nut in her as well and the kittens managed to get that one and only feature.

I fail to see how my dogs are slaves. only thing i make them do they don't like is take a bath. other than that I simply let them be. I might tell them to shut up if they are barking too much but thats about it. I don't mind a little bit of barking as it alerts me to things. most of the time it turns out to be nothing but its proved useful a time or two.

How weak would you need to be to be afraid of a female golden retriever? Sure, they could maul a small kid to death but a female GR is doing fuck all to an adult. I own a female GR, I could kill that dog almost instantly if I needed to, but I won't because she's a sweetheart and wouldn't hurt a fly (she actually plays with bugs, and especially loves beetles, I've never seen her kill one). She loves to fight with me but is super gentle with my daughter, she will just roll around at my daughters feet and lick at her.

yeah i've never had a dog I felt could kill me without completely catching me off guard with maybe a shot to my throat. outside that I know I can out power any dog i've ever owned if need be. and most dogs I know aren't going to bite the hand that feeds, unless of course that hand is also abusive.

one of mine I wouldn't suggest keeping around small kids. not that she attacks them she just likes to jump on people which has caused her to knock my niece over a few times. the older one is perfectly fine with kids though she let my niece crawl all over her when she was a baby.

How weak? Look at the size of that thing. Cmon. Even if that fucker couldnt kill me, it could easily give me a really bad fucking injury. It can jump on me. I dont want to deal with any animal which is bigger than half of my body. Dogs are butchers. I dont want a dog thinking it could kill someone around me to protect me, either. I dont want an animal that could kill humans, basically.

That's exactly my brothers dog. He's harmless to anyone he regards as part of his pack. I would feel sorry for anyone who pissed that dog off by trying to harm someone he knows though. I'm a big dude and I've trained MA's for years, I'd be afraid of that dog in a fight. I might be able to win/survive the fight but he's definitely going to tear me to pieces in the process.

Dogs are total slaves. Humans love to say things like, the dog is a humans best friend and shit. Humans are vain creatures, and a lot of us like dogs because of how mindless loyal they are to us I dont.

You can train a dog to do anything you want it to do. If you say sit, it will sit. A dog has a slave mindset, and is happy to devote their life to you.

Female golden retrievers get to maybe 60lbs. They are small and not very strong. While my girl isn't completely full grown yet, I can manhandle her like she was small child. She loves to wrestle and if she starts going a little too hard and I want her to stop, its easy as fuck to subdue her.

and I don't do that. there is only a few commands my dogs listen to. the main one being come here. or alternatively all I have to say is "yard now" if they wander out of the yard. my dogs only sometimes listen to sit. and when the do actually listen to it, they sit but then stand right back up. I never cared enough to drive that one into them.

Go visit any place with lots of stray dogs. Here in Thailand, stray dogs are everywhere and a lot of Thais let their dogs roam the neighbourhood.

Now look at the average street dog and a "slave" as you put it. Which dog do you think is happier? What about healthier? I guarantee you it isn't the street dogs.

with his logic humans are slaves too. we are told to get an education, get a job, pay taxes, and buy things we don't really need, and we do it. on top of following laws set, no matter how stupid

Look at this. This is an adult Golden Retriever. Can you really say this thing is 100% innoffensive? It wont kill you, but being attacked by it can be a PITA. I wouldnt let this thing around any kid under 10, if the kid was alone.

It's pretty dumb to own a dog with such vicious killing instincts.

If you just want a pet, get a dog that doesn't kill people.

If you want a guard dog, get a strong but less vicious breed, like a G shep. A g shep will protect but ain't gonna mangle someone up for little/no reason.


Pitbulls don't have killing instincts. They're domesticated animals.

What an ignorant remark. Domestic animals still have killing instincts. Even if they aren't as great as their wild cousins' instincts, they're still there


Uh no. Not anymore than a human does.

Uh, yeah. Domestic house cats kill lots of things such as mice, rats, and birds even when they're well fed. Just because they're domesticated doesn't mean they've lost all of their killing instincts from the wild.

It's okay to admit you're wrong. We all make mistakes

We're talking about humans you nit. Not flies, humans. Are you this clueless?
