Well that’s good she didn’t get raped because her dog protected her, but in actuality the dog is dangerous.
It’s because bully breeds have behavioral problems and people adopt them then drop them in shelters because they’re not suitable pets
Gee, who would have thought a racist would also be a breedist?
Some people are fully capable of keeping a dog like that safely, and they should be allowed to.
It seems you’re claiming that being a certain “race” is equal to being an animal. I wonder if there’s a word for that?
Good point!
Sounds like it could be:
"99% of the problem is bad owners. I've been around GUN OWNERS that were nothing but nice!"
See how that works?
Oh---here we go. Blame the owner crap.
I am sure you have statistics to substantiate this assertion?
We are talking deaths due to actions it is indeed on topic. Cowardly response from you as usual because you are afraid to answer:
And I know more people who have pit bulls who haven’t had any issues. So what’s your point again?!
I wish you could talk to all the people who have had loved ones killed by firearms. Would they really care if you felt firearms was “nothing but nice and a right”?
Agreed. people should be responsible for their property. that includes pets. if they get out It is because they failed to contain them. most people that keep these dogs arnt equipped and lack the discipline necessary to keep them but some are better about it.
Guns arent animals that act of their own accord. I can set a gun next to a baby and the baby can wail it's head off the gun isn't goin to attack.
people are more dangerous than dogs. so I would say people.
well he is correct. if you handed an 11 year old a pitbull puppy and said they could keep it, nobody bats an eye. if you do that with an AR15 that's much more of an issue right?
I think banning is a bit overboard. particularly because of my small L libertarian philosophy. That being said, you should know what you are getting into. so many people that own pit bulls are talked into it. "They are such sweet dogs" or "i have had them for years" these two things can be true at the same time that the animal is very capable of killing or doing serious damage.
no I disagree. I can leave an AR15 in a room with a cat and know that the cat isn't going to be killed by that gun. i can't do that with a pitbull. one is an animal and acts of it's own accord. one is an object and thus cannot act at all.
They are dangerous and have caused severe injury and death. There is no reason to own such a breed.I was delighted last month when the Arkansas legislature roundly defeated a bill that would repeal local breed specific laws.
Bill intended to prohibit local bans of specific dog breeds fails in Arkansas House | Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
A bill intended to bar municipalities from issuing bans targeting specific dog breeds failed to advance from the House on Tuesday.www.nwaonline.com
This doesn’t go far enough however, because it allows cities to permit people to own these dangerous animals. States should ban them outright.
Pit bulls and any true bulldog or bully breed should be illegal for general ownership as a pet. This is for several reasons
1) they are evolutionary adapted to cause permanent injury and death.
These dogs stem from an English sport called “bull baiting” where dogs would be arranged to kill bulls, as Bull baiting fell out of favor then new blood sports such as dog fighting and ratting emerged, for which bulldogs were crossed with terriers to make a strong and agile dog with a ferocious bite and high pain tolerance. This is the origin of modern pitbulls.
2) pitbulls are the least wanted dog in America, many pitbulls are given to shelters quickly as naive people realize these animals are dangerous. The pit Bull is the most euthanized dog in America and I this overpopulation is in part because insufficient bsl exists to prosecute breeders for making this animals
3) pitbulls are indisputably the most dangerous animals in America, 2/3 of all serious dog attacks on humans and over 90% of serious dog attacks on domesticated animals are from pit bulls, which are less then ten percent of dogs. The next dog after pitbulls are dobermans which are trained to be actual property guard dogs and it’s less than a quarter of pit Bull numbers. https://coloradoinjurylaw.com/dog-bite-statistics/#:~:text=Pitbulls are 2.5x more,and 63% of ocular injuries.&text=Pitbull attacks have higher morbidity,than attacks by other breeds.
3) pit bulls have high prey drive, they will attack their own owners, their owners children, their owners parents, sometimes even strangers and they do it without warning. Pit bulls will attack infants for crying because it triggers their prey drive
4) pit bulls have locking jaws which cause serious injury. Lucas County Ohio Dog Warden Tom Skeldon once presented a video in court of a dog that wouldn’t release its grasp on a cable after being tranquilized. Even pit Bull activists recommend carrying “break sticks” to pry the jaws of the dog when it attacks another dog.
5) existing lesser laws are inadequate. Most laws involving dangerous animals are meant to deal with normal dog breeds which are nuisances, not for fatal attacks by dogs like pit bulls. Breed specific laws allow accountability for people who choose to adopt dangerous animals
Wow. Great pivot, Davin. We're talking about pit bulls and you bring loved ones being killed by guns. I've been kicked off a thread because I strayed from the subject matter.
Right over your head...Except I didn't bring up guns. You did.
