and Bender, a mixed-breed pit bull

It's just a coincidence!

If they were supposed to be in kennels then this is pretty much open and shut

Pit bull, I'm about as surprised as I was when I noticed that the sun rose this morning.

Owners of pit bull-type dogs deal with a strong breed stigma,44 however controlled studies have not identified this breed group as disproportionately dangerous. The pit bull type is particularly ambiguous as a "breed" encompassing a range of pedigree breeds, informal types and appearances that cannot be reliably identified. Visual determination of dog breed is known to not always be reliable.45 And witnesses may be predisposed to assume that a vicious dog is of this type.

Why do some people insist on raising violent dogs?

It's disgusting how little worry/concern people have for others. There's definitely no way the dogs didn't show violent behavior before they decided "Maybe we should have an unknowing stranger try to walk them". If my dog showed any small type of violent behavior, Id immediately warn any person that was gonna be around him. That's on top of just mentioning you have a dog regardless. Just in case people have a fear.

That poor girl. I hope it doesn't cause her to ve anxious around future dogs and she can still do what she loved :/.

If my dog did this, Id feel so crushed I was responsible for such a tragic thing that Id deservingly fall into a major depression. But people like this usually just dodge all responsibility in they own heads.

I read this as "Doug Walker".

"Here's an article about how pit bulls aren't dangerous. Please ignore the fourteen stories about someone being attacked by one that get posted while you read this."

Fuck pit bulls, and fuck every last person that cares more about a shitty dog breed than the people they maim and kill.

do muzzles not exist over there for violent fucking dogs? my sister in law insists on walking her two pits in public, but at least she has some brains to muzzle them both (they have knocked over two joggers the past year, one pressed charges and she is extremely lucky the second didn't.)

How do you determine who cares more about the dogs than people who get maimed by dogs?

It's not an article, though. It's a scientific review of scientific data, and specifically notes that reports of dog breed are often unreliable. This means many news stories identifying pit bulls (albeit, not all) could be wrong.

Basically, you're saying that anecdotes matter more than a statistical summation of data which is... objectively wrong.

Even if you could speak English, and that was after an edit, I still wouldn't engage with one of the most well know trolls on this board.

A "statistical summation of data" means that all the reports about pit bulls hurting people "could be wrong". A scientific "maybe".

You've completely changed my view. In fact, all the people that got attacked by pit bulls? They're all fine now. Even the ones that were dead. You did it.

>_>. When did I become that? Was there a meeting? I mean, I joke a lot, but I didn't know I gained such infamy.

Also, you don't have to speak perfect English to qualify as someone who speaks English.

I like the "well known" part tho. That's pretty neat.

also needless to say, I don't care about pitbulls more than humans lol

But if you're going to imply the breed is more violent and admit you base this off news stories, why are you getting mad at a correction? Why do you assume I care more about X than Y because I pointed out an error in your mindset? It's weird, dude. The only dog I've ever owned passed away 14 years ago and it was a German Shepard.

The point being made is that the evidence available doesn't really support the claim made because a lot of it is on flimsy, uncertain grounds. You're using mob logic here, like, "How dare you question my searing outrage!" like maybe chill out? lol. You're moralizing to me about how all pitbulls are evil because some have killed people. Do you consider the consequences of applying logic like that in the real world?

Reminds me of an article a few months back by a lady who wasn't ashamed she had her problem dog put down. It had violent tendencies and it was inevitable it would attack someone, even she was in fear of it one day snapping. Recognizing that and doing the responsible thing rather than being a bleeding heart and sparing the dog so it can kill, that's important.

Im starting to notice the people who come into these topics with the extremist perspective are almost always the posters who are overly aggressive in most topics. They're the pitbulls of people lol

Yeah. Depending where you get a dog, the sad reality is it might be impossible to reverse it's learned traits without putting people at risk. I know it seems like a honorable thing to do to save dogs that came from violent circumstances. But if these organizations are not making sure these dogs go to a place where they won't be around anyone other than the person trying to rehabilitate them, that's irresponsible on their part. They should put it down before risking it going to a family that could be carelessly taking on something they're not prepared for.

That antiwork mod made the dog walking business sound good though.

Hey my coworker knows this girl and told me about this. She says shes in good spirits now and has had a bunch of facial reconstruction surgery.

Anyone with the slightest amount of compassion makes sure people are comfortable with dogs before exposing them to a dog. It's not even about if your dog is well behaved or not. You just don't know who might of already had a bad experience with a dog or just has a natural fear of dogs. It takes the smallest amount of effort. Literally just "I got a dog, is that cool? Do you want me to put him in a different area?"

I always love the "you have an opinion about something, you must be absolutely freaking out" insults that idiots resort to. Yeah, I've personally watched people be attacked by pit bulls, and was once attacked by one myself. Watching someone "but actually" and point to some study that comes to "maybe" in it's conclusion really has me flicking the angry bean over here.

Pit bulls should be eradicated. Honestly, all dogs big enough to hurt people should be. And I say this as the owner of a Husky/Wolf mix.

Hell, I'd even be fine with wiping out all dogs so that nobody is happy. Just as long a pit bulls go first. Not having people mauled by dogs is more important than the purpetually lonely forcing something to be their friend.

That is so wildly extreme >_<

The Bishops have not apologized to her, he said.

The kind of person who should not have any dog, much less a potentially dangerous one. Sadly, also the kind who would most likely want a dog who can potentially maul someone.
