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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.


There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

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.
