brother in law is over 6' and was driving a short t post and pulled the driver to high off the post an flames the edg of the top of the post when he brought it down resulting in the driver tipping back and splitting his head open and a tip to the ER.

While him and my mother in law were I. the ER they brought in a 4 year old girl riped apart by a pit. She died. Apparently the baby sitter ran a pit rescue. The baby sitter had a heart attack and died also. Not sure if she had the heart attack before the attack or any other details other than when the mother got to the er and broke down it was hard to listen to.

This was on wensday. And why regardless of what or how great a pit may be I myself won't have one near me. They have their place for their job kiling hogs and such but they are not ment for any inexperienced handler like typically end up with them.


Run a rescue bleeding heart and now you and the kid are dead. And got to wonder about the mom's ability to mother to leave her kid in that environment.


Edit looked it up was the 53 year old grandmother watching the kid. 6 pits and a poodle mix for 7 dogs. Little girl died at the hospital. very sad situation and 100% avoidable.

Pit rescue ......hmmm.....alot of stupid people in this world


Breaks my heart .....the little girl was surrounded by stupid fn idiot adults ....she never had a chance at life

Oh , and you pitbull whispers can pound sand

disgusting and criminal and it goes on everywhere

Yep, very sad and very avoidable.

That happened in my hometown, 3 houses down from my aunt. Sad deal all around. I have no use for any pit or mix of any kind

Oh...but they have to be trained to be mean..

A good friend told me when they let those dogs competition fight they are wagging their tails before they are released. They like it.

That’s……….real interesting Keith………lol. Careful with numbers, when used properly they don’t lie. But I’m sure we’re all aware how numbers can be used to push a certain perspective, but most see right through them.

Yea, it’s not in their blood. Like bull sharks are awesome, until they’re in the hands of a bad owner……lol
I’ve tangled with a few in my travels and for the most part they’re actually all bark, just gotta know how to handle them. But there’s 2 or 3 times when I wouldn’t get out of the truck. A St Bernard came the closest to ending my tenure on this planet.

I want no neighbour and no pitbull.

Only dog Ive ever shot was a pit and the next time i shot AT a dog, also a pit. They all need a bullet.

Was watching one of those judge shows on the boob tube last week. It was a dog attack case. Even the judge said. " Let me guess, it was a pit bull". Of course she was right

sad story. pit bulls and ignorant people seem to gravitate to each other. I have no use for either. almost an epidemic these worthless breeds anymore

Exactly.

No child should be left alone with ANY dog no matter chihuahua or mastiff

Like said above pits are a breed that is wired to kill
Yes you will find a few that are big babies that would not hurt a mouse but WHY gamble?

I know people who got dogs that showed aggressive tendencies toward kids. It was either unknown or undisclosed when they were acquired. The dogs were put down without a second thought just at the sign of being a possible danger to a child. No attack needed and not going to be pawned off to anyone else to deal with
And that is the way anyone who loves children should react

Late 90's had a neighbor who got a pitbull pup. Several months later guess who they asked to shoot it for them?

Pits and the argument for them is proof rational thinking is lost on a lot of people in this society today

True.

The only local person I ever heard of being killed by a dog, the dogs were pits. They tore her clear apart and I think they were her dogs.

It happened closer to Wetdog on here, maybe he'll chime in.

I have an ol boy that lives about a mile away, the way a crow flies. He always has at least one pit bull all the time, along with a couple Rottweiler crosses. He lets them roam the countryside and they have an aggressive nature to them when they're away from home. They've cornered our horses and calves before and have killed several chickens, so when they come around I take it upon myself to kill them on sight.

We also have another neighbor that has 2 pit bulls that lives about a quarter mile away, he learned real quick that if he wants to keep them alive, he needs to keep them at home. They stay tied up or inside a fence these days and we get along good !

I have no use for a pit bull, I don't care how good the owner claims that they act.

They can be very good...till they're not....Never know when the bad switch goes on....

On Geiger street.

Are you still in Huntingburg? I live behind the old hospital. Drive the big, red Bronco.

They're such ugly dogs, too. When they snap, they have no regard for their own safety; they are relentless. (There's even a name for this trait: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gameness) They have very muscular jaws and necks and when they bite down, it's not easy to pry their mouths open. There's a device called a break stick that assists with releasing from a pit bull's jaws:

Not every individual dog is aggressive, but when it comes to children, why roll the dice? What baffles me is the propaganda from some people promoting this particular breed as "nanny dogs." It's absolute lunacy.

I've found that an application of an appropriate amount of lead will "break" every dog that needed it.

All these feel good morons running hoardin... um rescues never ask the most pertinent question. Just why is that particular animal in need of hoarding?

You think it might unwanted for a reason?

Nope, zero, nada for the breed. Have a dear friend that had a couple of pits that were absolute sweethearts.
On a personal note, had to shoot a dog who was trusted in the house. He snapped at my wife’s face, for no reason. I drug himsers outside and ended that for good.
He was a mutt and completely chill, up until that moment that he turned.

I hate to demonize the breed but it seems like a constant issue. This just in.

Some cities south of the mason Dixon line passed a law that you had to pay a large license fee to keep a pit inside city limits. The year that passed I caught a lot of pits in coyote sets out in the country. Also Our animal shelter won’t take pits.

That's better than catching a wolf

The Ravens won't even eat them.

They would here.

I've always felt that because they top the dangerous dog list, any person who owns one should be held criminally liable if that dog ever attacks and maims someone.
There is a good reason nearly all insurance companies will not write a homeowners policy on you if you own a pit bull or a mixed breed pit bull.

Yep

Liberalism has killed more people than ANY dogs ever have, IMO. Should all liberals be euthanized?

You will never convince a pit bull owner that the breed is dangerous. You might as will take a pi$$ into the wind. I went from the first post to the last without reading everything between because most of it is BS. It is like trying to argue with a democrat, you will never win! JMO

Maybe ......but right now we're talking about killing ALL pitbulls

My Sweetie wouldn't hurt a fly. Never had a killer bulldog, and I hope that I never do.

AntiGov, you ever hear a pitbull owner after their dog rips the face off a kid, say "Yep, I knew my pitbull was going to that." ?

Do you want an honest answer to that question?

LOL that was my thought as well.

1 yo got killed by a pit in Ohio 4-5 days ago.

I have put several of them in a ground pit.

Not enough

I don’t think theres not many mutts out there that’s don’t have some of pit traits in it. I see so many dogs that take on the pit traits. My dog looks like so many other mutts that I come across now it’s a very common look. I notice it more now that I have Ryder that I never picked up on before.

Ears like the flying nun.

They’re just dogs. Any 100 pound canine is capable of doing the same thing. They just happen to be very prolific. Kinda like how if you get shot, it’s a good chance it’ll be with an AR15…not because they’re extra dangerous, there’s just a lot of them.

nope not even close.

Neighbors daughter called and asked me if I would take care of her beloved pit. It was eating and the other dog came over and got too close. Time that dog was stitched up he looked like Frankenstein.

She was a good owner and realized with young children, there was not another option. Her DA cousin got mad and said it would have made someone else a fine dog.

That sweet little pup never did that again after we talked at the end of the road at the end of the field.

We just adopted two dogs last year from the pound. Told the kids no pits or pit crosses. It was rather difficult finding a dog that wasn't a pit/pit mix. Kind of says a lot about that sweet lovable cuddly breed.

If they are such smart lovable loyal and trustworthy dogs, why doesn't the police use them for their strength? Imagine walking up on a criminal with a pit. On the flip side, imagine walking up on an innocent person with a pit.

They have their place with experienced dog handlers for hogs. Other than that, they are absolutely useless and most all of them need killing.

Funny......I just got bit by a dog at a garage sale last week LOL.

I will say it again, Anyone who owns a pitbull should be held criminally liable if that dog attacks someone. The charge should be twice as severe if it's a child.
You rarely hear of a case where a lab or other breed maims or kills someone. The population of pits in the dog population is low, yet they top the chart in the vicious animal class. Most insurance companies won't insure you if they know you own one.

Our local animal shelter always has at least 1/2 dozen pits waiting to be adopted. You know most of them were sent to the shelter because of some sort of issue. Most dogs will cost you $4-500 dollars to adopt one as they chip them, shots, etc. A pit you can get for almost no charge because most people are smart enough to know the danger that comes with them.

Keith

…. Friend of mines 16 year old daughter just got life fliighted over one of those pos… boyfriends daddy had to shoot it in order to let go

…. Kill em all

I hope they can fix her up and that she has no long-term damage.

Keith

… she’s going to have long term damage

Sorry about your friend's daughter Savell. I hope the pit bulls owner pays dearly.

Nice!

They're so ugly. Just from the thumbnail, why would anybody want one of those?

You can't find a non pit or pit cross in the pound here, and they have dozens to pick through...

I found one on an island out in the bay, no idea how it got there....didn't know me from Adam, yet it let me get it into the boat without a hint of aggression...it got adopted by a young woman, she named him Gilligan, lol, she had a baby and that dog was as sweet to the baby as it was to everyone else....now I don't trust the things but this was just a real nice dog...she had him for years till it got sick and died...never an ounce of aggression ....go figure..
