Im done with people being afraid of ''pit bulls ''

you're right that the term "pit bull" isn't a breed, the american pit bull terrier however is a breed. APBT are known for dog aggression and animal aggression, so no it doesn't make a difference if a person abused one or not, they were bred for DA. it's where common people looking for family dogs go wrong, an APBT is not well suited as a family pet, it's a hard dog and difficult to properly discipline and control, and all these "furmommies" treating their dogs as children and giving zero training or discipline and not understanding how to properly contain a dog is not helping the breeds cause.

does dog aggression and animal aggression make a breed overall bad? no, in the right job and environment an APBT can flourish and be a great dog, for an example ABPT make great hog hunters and hunting game. this breed though is a game dog, it was never bred for suburbia family life and is a very driven breed.

you might find an APBT that isn't breed standard and isn't as prey driven or has high DA, but it would be like finding a border collie who doesn't have a herding instinct, extremely difficult. you can't expect a breed that wasn't specifically bred for typical apartment/house life like all these clueless people who go out and buy working dogs such as border collies and belgian malinois, stick it in a small backyard and expect it to be completely fine with maybe a 30 minute walk everyday and for it to not end up in a neurotic mess with behavioral issues.

APBT are game dogs and a difficult breed to control, if you actually know how to handle such a driven dog professionally and discipline correctly then go ahead and own an APBT, the problem is most owners of this breed do not have a clue on how to properly control such a certain breed. people who just want to own a family pet are better off with just chihuahua's and labradors, leave working dogs alone.

My family had a few of them when I was a kid. They weren't very creative with names either: they were all named Buddy. They had food aggression issues. I started scooping up their sloppy food and handfeeding them in hopes they'd stop nipping at me. It worked eventually. XD

Give me your farms address and I will personally come and kick you in the cunt you dumb ugly bitch. Until then you're a pussy ass liar talking big shit over the internet.

Sorry for the blow up on your post, OP. I'm not sleeping well lately, and the imbecile decided to put on a show.

I don't like to let stupidity get away with it. It's a weakness of mine. I hope it doesn't piss you off too much.

High energy ,not the smartest. I see pitbulls as a trend, everyone get on board with a dog. To be fair its not the worst dog to choose, but its nowhere near my first choice. Just how i feel and im sure other people wont feel this way

There are certain things in this world that are known to be bad news. Bully breeds of dogs happen to be one such thing.

Call the damned things what you want but when you have dogs that are capable of a lot of damage, do not expect much sympathy when your savage beast reverts to it's true nature and kills someone.

Bully dogs perhaps cannot help that they are dangerous but people do not need to keep those things as pets. There is no reason for it.

So for the OP - you are going to have to get used to the fact that a lot of people see pit bulls (or whatever) in the same light as roaches and rats - just nasty creatures that need to be killed.

Pitbulls eat toddlers on the regular here in Florida, it is not fake news. That movie said, "all dogs go to heaven." Nope. Not pit bulls and min pins.

I feel we need a similar post about snakes and all other dangerous animals of the world. Innocent garden snakes with no harmful venom are burnt and killed in huge numbers. They should not be demonized for who they are. What should be demonized is the blatant negligence of owners towards their pit bull dogs. In my neighbourhood, two male pit bulls were let loose while their owners went on holiday and left them alone, an old man walking to his place of worship that afternoon was mauled severely by them and his face partially mutalated. In another city, a baby was mauled to death and killed by the pit bull, the parents had left her alone in her pram with the dog in the lounge. Just some examples of negligence.

However, we cannot deny the number of fatal attacks that pit bulls have committed in comparison to other domesticated animals. People need to be made aware of anything that is potentially dangerous, and I support the propagation of news regarding pit bull attacks.

You may have a well trained pit bull, but this isn't the case with everyone and they may be more difficult to train. Your pit bull is also female, which may account for her lack of aggressive behaviour or it could just be her good grooming (thanks to you).

I strongly believe pet owners should be responsible with their animals. Don't let your pet snake go slithering around your children, when you know it's not defanged. Don't let your pit bull dog wander the streets without a leash.

Environment is important to an animal. These aggressive dogs need space and independence. Trying to keep it like a typical dog or cat leads to problems.

All animals are capable of violence, even humans. Don't judge any dog for being what it is. An animal.

Always respect any breed or type of animal you bring into your home. Training will only ever get you so far.

If threatened, scared or annoyed, any animal will use it's full force against you.

Respect all our friends who allow us into their lives.

Animals are amazing, it's a gift they share their lives with us.

I love pits. I love most dogs.

I miss my dog :( she wasn't a pit, but I still miss her.

People are dumb.

Pit bull isn't a breed? But its like my favorite dog breed. They are cute and loving as hell

do i really need to grow a vagina?

im kinda happy with my penis

also id prolly be shovin weird stuff up my vagina all day

I just don't like how pitbulls look. I used to have 2 rottweilers before. Those are pretty dogs.

She looks cute, from what little I can see of her.

You also need to realize some people, no matter the breed, are going to be afraid of dogs, and maybe more animals. Couple that with the press surrounding attacks, you get this. It's unfortunate but it is what it is. The real question should be is why do we allow continued breeding of these dogs? If they are dangerous, then stop the practice of breeding them. Their is not any unalienable right to a certain breed of dog. I'm not advocating for this, but we as humans have to step up and do smart things. What would be harmed by discontinued breeding? I mean there are plenty of other dog breeds, shouldn't that be fine? Just a thought.

I know you don't handle being wrong well...but pumpkin, you do it every day on here, blatantly. You really should just accept it.

Nanny is not the same as babysitter. The fact that you are trying to denigrate someone for being a professional with an education in Early Childhood Education shows your ignorance. The fact you think preteens, aka 12yeard and under are the same as nannies...is embarrassing for you. But whatever. Please continue. It only makes you look worse.

You lie incessantly. You blocked me like...two days. That seems to be the most you can handle before you feel the need to come back and embarrass yourself further.

Most recent lie to add to the ridiculously long list anyone with a functioning memory could remember at least a good portion of: tits too small for mammograms. What a retarded claim. Men with very small amounts of breast tissue can have mammograms. They actually work better on them. Mammograms also aren't routinely done on a 20 year old. Which you didn't know.

I'm a coward? Obsessed?
I'm not the one that blocked you. If I were to block you, then talk about you, sure. That would be cowardly. Y'know. Like you've done a couple times now. I didn't make posts about you or go on a random spamming session where you managed to have an attack on me on every post you clicked, no matter the topic.

Perhaps you'd actually like to say what I supposedly said about dogs that was incorrect? Cos the only thing you "corrected"...was something I said and you just parroted back.

IQ of 189. Sure.

I disagree that most people are afraid of them. I think this is a myth.

I used to have a "fighting dog", as they are sometimes called, and very few people he encountered held this prejudice.

When properly trained these dogs are cute as fuck, people regularly used to come up to me in the street asking if they could pet my dog and say how cute he was. He got cuddles and compliments much more often than anything negative.

This was in the UK. You sound American. Maybe it's different over there? If it is then I'm very sorry to hear that, it's a shame for the dogs.

I'm rather fond of dogs in general, but my preference is for Shetland sheepdogs, rough Collies and Golden retrievers.

I think the problem isn't so much people who are afraid of pitbulls, but the people who breed, and train them to fight. Dog fighting as well as cock fighting are completely low class activities of animal abuse that are perpetrated by scumbag people for the purpose of making bets on the outcome.

I would be fine if all the people who were into dog fighting just dropped dead at this very moment. Those people are all garbage. I also say the same for people into cock fighting, and bear baiting. The world would be better without all of those scumbags.

There was also a case in Florida where a man ate another mans face off. He was on the zombie drug.

Which is worst;

Cannibalism

Or..

Dog Attacks?

Plus, we never got the '' news '' here in Ketchikan.. So, If you are correct about the '' pit bulls '' eating toddlers; Then I guess I stand corrected and I apologize.

Pitt bulls have torn off owners faces. Recently, a pitbull killed and ate parts of a woman owner during a walk in the woods. I don't trust this breed
