[Ausaric]

These things were bred to kill, no surprise it decided to do this when her guard was down.

Did you read the article? It wasn't a pet they kept it for breeding only.

[newleaseonlife]

Why in gods name would you put your head next to any dogs face that you weren't familiar with? If she did that to a beagle he would have bitten her.

Mrs Rigdon's son said the pet wasn't properly trained and was kept principally for breeding purposes.

He concluded: 'This should serve as a warning to all pet owners. Unless you are going to take the time to make an animal a pet then it will remain an animal.'


Poorly socialized animal attacks...big fuking shocker.

Hard to believe that Monday March 2, 2015 was 20 years ago.



Granted that thread has been removed.

Not sure if srs, I have a Beagle. Beagles are basically the most harmless dogs you can get. She would never do something like that.

The first line of my post was a question. "Why would you put your face next to any dog you're unfamiliar with?". Does YOUR beagle meet that criteria?

Pity her government took away her right to bare arms. That pitbull wouldnt have attacked if she was carrying a 16th century Damascus steel claymore.

[LOOKATTHATSHINE]

Check out how vicious these pits are. Not for the faint of heart...

[LOOKATTHATSHINE]

Also one more attack...



Actually two...








Note that I do not own a pitbull nor have I ever. Just a dog lover.

[jesterin]

Pit bulls were refered to as the nanny dogs. Over the years reckless owners have tarnished this. I'm not denying that pitbulls may have more aggressive tendencies but its mainly towards other dogs.

[hairlineofpeace]

Grandmother was screaming and acting weird (dog's pov) near a pack member (again dog's pov)

thus the dog attacks the threat.

94% of attacks on children were unprovoked compared to 43% for other breeds.

http://www.cdc.gov/homeandrecreation...ogbreeds-a.pdf

A 20-year (1979–1998) study by the American Veterinary Medical Association into fatal dog attacks on humans concluded that "fatal attacks on humans appear to be a breed-specific problem (pit bull-type dogs and Rottweilers)," and that "pit bull-type dogs and Rottweilers were involved in more than half" (67%) of all the 238 recorded dog bite-related fatalities (DBRF) in the United States during that period, with pit bulls accounting for 66 deaths.

They are extremely sensitive to high pitched sounds. Notice he attacked the source, not the legs or arm. Great dogs apart from that though. My pitty freaks the fuk out when the wind makes that whistling noise.

[shortythree]

saw this on WS, not gonna lie i chuckled at first

[sknot1454]

lol

[newleaseonlife]

Please don't disrespect the breed by associating it with that "thing".

This is my boy...he'll be turning 9 this year...he's never bitten anyone.

My wife and I took ours to an event Downtown Toronto...the subway cars passing underneath un-nerved him. Being around all those people, all those sounds, smells, really sent him into sensory overload.

"A total of 166 owners of high risk dogs were compared with 189 owners of low risk dogs. The high risk dog owners had nearly 10 times more criminal convictions than other dog owners. Breaking the data down by categories of criminal behavior they found that high risk dog owners were 6.8 times more likely to be convicted of an aggressive crime, 2.8 times more likely to have carried out a crime involving children, 2.4 times more likely to have perpetrated domestic violence, and 5.4 times more likely to have an alcohol related conviction when compared to low risk dog owners."

Ayyy lmao.

Just like race in humans: Doesn't mean if you are white or black, you will be more or less violent just because of the color of your skin. It's the upbringing and environment that determines your character and attitude towards the general public.

"Unprovoked"? Ok, fine. But who raises these dogs? That will tell you more.

People love defending chit bulls. I would ship his ass to the Chinese restaurant so at least he would be useful for something.

Probably the worst ice bucket challenge I've seen smh

Just a matter of time-all dogs should me muzzled & on a lead. Damn things are a noise & health hazard as all they do is crap everywhere.

That's because you're an idiot.

[Beachbum1546]

It's in pitbull's DNA to be aggressive and violent. That doesn't mean they will attack people but it does make it a hell of a lot more likely.

He craps in my backyard...He also doesn't bark...most pitbulls don't. The ones you hear barking their heads off usually have chit for brain owners who allow that type of behavior. I think in the 9 years he's been alive...I've heard him bark maybe 10-15 times. Matter of time my ass...there are clear and defined lines in my relationship with my dog.

That's not true at all, Beagles can be vicious. My aunt breeds and owns Beagles as pets and 99% of them are extremely tame, but you'll get a few who get extremely territorial and have been known to launch unprovoked attacks.

There's no breed of dog that you can say is 100% "harmless", it's completely down to their character attributes and training. Some breeds are more prone to being aggressive, but you can't rule anything out.

[newleaseonlife]

It's not in their DNA to fight...hence the reason why there are fighting dogs, and baiting dogs. Not all of them are game, not all of them are going to fight. A little history on the pitbull...human aggression was bred out of them...IE if the dog showed any aggression as a puppy it was put down. What you're left with is a breed that was game to fight other dogs, but was gentle with it's human family. You see pitbull aggression because of the people raising them...When put in a position of confusion the pitbull will become aggressive to take control of the environment. This is why pits are bad guard dogs, once you put them in that mode (through conditioning) they will rarely come back unless put in an environment totally different. Where the family is loving and treats it with respect.

Hey, you lucked out and got a good one. Even at that I still wouldn't fully trust it. Pitbulls are known for turning on their owners. No way in hell would I bring my little kids around it if I had toddler aged kids.

The only dog that has ever attacked me was a Beagle. 100% srs. Went for my heel for no reason. Didn't surprise me that his owner was a total anti-social psychopath. srs.
