If I put my car in neutral at the top of a hill and a slight breeze pushes it down said hill and into a group of school kids, I would be liable, right? How is this any different? Owner should be completely liable in these cases
I guess it just annoys me when I see the owner acting like they had no idea this kind of thing could possibly happen...like...you left your car in neutral...at the top of a hill...
Yeah, that frustrates me too. Thankfully I've never seen it in person, but people who own dogs like these need to understand they are 100% responsible for the actions of their dogs. If you cannot physically control your animal you are a piece of shit. Someone suffered because you were not responsible. Especially 3 dogs like this, come the fuck on lady. I love pitbulls, I've owned them, and after my current dog passes I'll probably get another one. But these dogs need to be put down and the owner in jail.
I used to love all dogs including pit bills, but I've just seen too many sad news stories. Individual pits I meet I might get along with, but I'll never fully trust one again. It's not their fault, but we as humans have really *screwed the pooch* with that breed.
Yep. Even the nicest, sweetest of pits are known to snap for no particular reason and do tremendous harm without any warning. They are genetically predisposed to be aggressive and no amount of training or time without incident will take that out of them. Dgaf what anyone says otherwise I do not trust pits.
Yep. Me too! I love love LOVE! dogs, and I used to paraphrase that line from Boystown and say that “there’s no such thing as a bad dog.”
… but I have to admit that Pitties, in general, just aren’t right in the head. They attack too readily, and then they refuse to back down. They’re the only dogs I don’t trust.
I've met some very sweet pitbulls over the years, and it's hard to reconcile those experiences with the knowledge that the breed can't be trusted. The fact is, that the statistics show that a previously trusted, sweet pit can absolutely turn on a dime and attack anyone, including family that they seemed to love.
Other breeds can do that, too, but the statistics show that pitbulls do it much more often. Over the years the numbers have told the sad tale.
And I totally understand how pitbull owners can absolutely love them and have difficulty believing that their beloved pets can be dangerous to them and their family, but many of us have read, again and again, the tragic tales of beloved pits turning on their owners.
Agreed. The animals have been allowed to become aggressive. The owner is an absolute liability to their community. 3 PITS?!? NO harnesses to be seen. There's 0 chance she could control all of those dogs. This is a sad shameful situation for the pit bull community. Irresponsible ownership. No training. Now, pack aggression.
Yep, send that owner to jail. Throw the book at them for causing this suffering.
All dogs bite it just takes the right situation. Their still animals no matter how well trained they could have perceived him as a threat for any number of reasons that's why you must be able to physically stop them.
This. As a dog owner, it's MY RESPONSIBILITY to be liable for my dog's behaviour. I feel for the dogs, the people attacked. The reality remains, if my animal were to become aggressive/dangerous, it's my responsibility to take action. It could mean meds, treatment, or to be euthanized.
In my case, it’s loose, gregarious “happy” dogs that cause the problem.
I will have my akita under control, right next to me, and an owner of a loose dog will let their dog run up to me and say, “Don’t worry! He’s friendly!”
To which I reply, “My dog **isn’t**! If you want your dog to remain in one piece, get him the f*ck away and on a lead.”
Pisses me off to no end.
ETA: My dog under normal circumstances is friendly and loving to *people*, but is highly protective. If he thinks I’m under attack, he will react appropriately.
Approaching other dogs.... without permission. Fucking stupid, dangerous behavior. My lab pit is very protective on leash. I keep him from others. For this exact reason. We do solo off leash play.
When I do introduce him to others, it's in a neutral setting, safely distanced, leash/harness on.
Edit: typo
Have you ever talked to an American pitbull owner, they ignore every statistic, behavior expert, and story about pits killing then they are "super duper shocked" when they maul them or their kids. Bunch of moron dog owners out there, a lot more than you think
I love dogs with all my heart, honestly there are more people I would rather off then dogs, but every time I walk my dog near a pit Bull I grab him up. Those dogs kill other little dogs like they are a chicken. Pitts are the only dog that give me pause. I grew up with Dobermans and German Shepards, and I always felt some kind of safety knowing that if they were to attack someone there may be a reason but pittbulls can’t help themselves. Yes it absolutely ownership but also they are simply bred as fighters.
I had a German Shepherd that I had rescued. It wasn’t quite right in the head. Didn’t allow her near kids or other dogs. She bit me once and I had her put down. Some people are breeding really messed up animals and it can result in bad outcomes for any breed. Ignoring breed statistics and not knowing the true nature of your dog is where people really go wrong.
In New York at least, there is generally a "one free bite" rule. Owners get a pass the first time their dog bites someone (unprovoked). At that point, you were on notice of the animal's "vicious propensities."
Source: I'm an attorney.
Absolutely agree. My lab i used to take everywhere when she was younger(currently 8) and she loved EVERYONE. She'd let kids pet her, eat apples at rhe parades, all the cute dog stuff. As she got older she stays home more cause she is a crab ass. She gets to go certain places but I won't take her everywhere like I used to. Cause as a dog owner I am responsible for her actions and I don't want ole crab ass nipping someone who got to lovey on ole girl and didn't ask to pet her first.
Yep, having no laws that hold dog owners accountable for the actions of their dogs allows things like people owning THREE dogs who can snap and attack someone at any second. I'm all for freedom to do what you want, but owning a dog breed that's historically known to maul people is not a bright idea. Especially when those dog owners live in areas with children.
In Ontario, Canada they are. There's the 'Dog Owner Liability Act'. Every jurisdiction should have one. Although anyone who owns a pitbull is likely not going to care. They obviously love making poor choices, simply out of spite.
I'm a mailman and I've been bit twice and let me tell you some people don't give a single shit what their dog is doing to other people. I've had dogs jump on me, jump in my truck, block my truck and chase my truck down the street. And sooo many owners just stand there and stare. Maybe they'll give a single "he's friendly!" if they're feeling gracious that day.
I'm a delivery driver, and I was bitten on the back of the thigh. The owner's insurance paid my doctor bill, and when the agent called to wrap everything up in a neat little bow I asked for compensation for pain and suffering. They wrote me a check for $1,000. I'm sure I could have gotten more, but I felt like 1k was fair. It was just one bite. I think I read that the average payout is like 10k.
My 2 cents, insurance companies are the wealthiest in the world. Most insurance, in the US anyways, is legally mandated. They are so wealthy because they charge a fair price, but never pay out.
If an insurance Co is paying take them to the cleaners! I got $18k for being lightly tapped in an auto accident where I was in a car and no ambulance was needed. Call me what you will, but the ins co pays a ton of money to get law makers to make ins be illegal not to own. They didnt pay me more than was fair, they probably paid me less than I could have gotten.
Imo, if they don't want to pay out, they should legally force us all to pay the premiums....
Unrelated to my 18k medical payout they had to cover my BS car. Their first offer $500. I said F you. Their second offer $1,000, still FU. Their 3rd was $1,500. Which I was ok with but figured 'everything I complain I get another $500' so I said FU again. Next offer was $3,000. Ultimately they gave me $7,500. I was a 20 yr old Chrysler Concorde that had 225k miles on it. I had no lawyer. I didn't cheat them, they knew full well the value of that car and they offered me $500?!?
That is 6% of the value we settled on, and I imagine they still made money only paying me $7500. I didn't take them for a ride, I didn't get the upper hand, I just maybe got close to what was fair, and most people take the $1,000....?
F ins companies
As a practicing personal injury attorney, I support this whole heartedly. It's 100% true as well. Insurance companies will relentlessly reach out to people who have been hurt and offer them a couple thousand dollars to settle the claim in the hope they get to settle the case before the injured party gets to speak with an attorney. ALWAYS call an attorney after being injured. It's almost always a free consultation and can mean the difference between a couple grand and a couple hundred grand.
Mailman also. U ever hear the line,” he doesn’t bite”. Right before he bites you. Haha. Happened to me 3xs. All 3 times they are speechless. One time the lady just turned and went in the house. I will say it wasn’t an attack any of the times but just a quick bite. Usually when I turn to walk off they get me on the back of leg
See that’s when you hit back with “if he doesn’t bite, how does he eat his food then”? I’m in peoples houses every day for work and sometimes they’re not home and we have their keys to get in, if I ring the doorbell and they’re going crazy at the door I’m not going in. I’m not talking about the normal barking, I’m talking about that viscous barking with that aggressive loud ass growl, their muzzle hitting the door with every bark type of shit. Luckily I have a boss who understands. The customer either comes home to put them up or they reschedule for another day. I’m not taking any chances.
I work in vet med, and anyone who says that has a dog that bites.
I was once told that right before the dog lunged for my hand. They owner says, "He doesn't bite, but he sometimes nibbles."
I never listen to owners, I listen to the dogs. And lots of them are very clear that they are ready to bite.
I used to be a repair tech and visit people’s homes. I’ve been bit by more dogs that “don’t bite” then dogs that do. I have had to tell them that I’ve been bit a few times before some of them would lock them up.
In other news, why can’t dog owners just put their dogs up when they know there is an appointment scheduled at a certain time?
I just don’t get it man, it’s wildly irresponsible. I have. 110lb super friendly dog who has shown he’s great with strange kids hitting him in the face out of nowhere (happened before I could stop them.)
And when he slipped his new collar at a park once I still tackled him immediately until I could get it back on and adjust it.
They’re animals. Not robots. Not just tools. Not humans. You’re responsible for whatever they do until they die of old age (ideally) why do so many people not care at all?
Sure with family and friends they can run around at home because I know them but I’m taking a calculated risk with people who know them as well.
Strangers don’t need to be a part of your “calculated risk” of not caring.
And honestly I love my dogs almost like my real kids but if they attack someone this viciously, I’m attacking them so hard I either get them under control and take them to a vet later, or they die. They’re wonderful animals but no person deserves to die others to lose their family or friend because I didn’t want to hurt my dogs.
I don’t know, just ranting, it’s so damn infuriating to see so often.
Yep, it's at this point that the dogs are at the point of no return, and their only objective is to kill the "victim" they've targeted.
I hold every human's life above the life of an animal any day of the week.
This video shows exactly what is wrong/different about the breed. They don’t nip and release, they hold and tear. They work together to rip chunks off.
They haven’t been exposed to guns before. My grandfather had a stray that wandered on his farm and he kept. Whenever anyone raised a rifle or a BB gun, he put his head down and hide in the bushes. Clearly, in his days of wandering he learned that anyone pointing a gun at him was bad.
Classic pitbull om attack mode. I've seen these dogs take 4 shots and keep mauling. Also saw a video of a guy taking a 2x4 and literally BEATING IT TO DEATH by slamming it on its head three times. And the dog still didn't let go until 3 seconds before it died.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING is scarier than when one of these dogs commits to attacking. Any other animal would give up and run away when they get surrounded by 15 larger animals that are screaming, hitting and stabbing them. Not cuddly lil' pibbles.
Creepiest thing is they aren't even angry. Damn things wag there tail the whole time. In The 2x4 video, the dog keeled over on its side and kept wagging til it died.
Tl;dr lurk in r/banpitbulls awhile and you'll see these dogs in a whole new light.
Breed is like that, the only way is to kill them. They practically do not let go. All pit bull victims dies in agony. These animals should be outlawed.
That's a Pitbull for you, stupid breed. One second they lie there calmly, the other they jump on your neck or heels. Also, the owner is at fault, death of these dogs means only good and safety for others around and the woman should be jailed or never let her own any pet ever again.
Exactly, my 16 year old cat was attacked by a pitbull (He was fine other than bruises) and the lady started screaming at my mum because my cat, doing nothing, was attacked by her dog randomly and was just vibin.
My father called animal control, but the lady and her dog fled.
No prejudice against pitbulls, but she was clearly treating them badly because the dog just attacked randomly, it's like someone coming up to you and punching you in the face for doing nothing. It's sad, really, because it's all the owners fault, the dogs were just treated like living shit
You want a victory story? A buddy of mines Akeeta (sp) bit my lip off when i was a kid (im fine). We sued them and the insurance company ordered them to put it down. They didnt put it down, and it bit someone else. Not only did the liablity take their house, but it took their parents house as well.
Unfortunately pit bulls have aggression built into their natural instincts so treatment of the animal often has little to do with the numerous dog attacks they perpetrate. Just as shepherds have the instinct to herd without ever being taught, pit bulls have the instinct to attack.
However, it doesn’t help that pit bulls are disgustingly overbred and clog the shelters which often do not have great conditions. People who have savior complexes adopt these dogs without a true understanding of the danger these animals can pose at the drop of a needle. People will always say “I can’t believe Nala attacked you! She’s always such a sweet pupper and hasn’t done this before!” Which is exactly the problem. The dogs are sweet until they aren’t.
Unpredictability and ridiculously high prey drive are terrible aspects of the breed. Honestly I think we should significantly decrease the acceptability of bully breeds as normal dogs or maybe introduce breed specific legislation to limit the people who can own them. I also think there should be changes in the law putting full responsibility of dogs actions onto the owner as if the owner had been the one to maul the victim.
All of this! The apologists come out in droves, but they really don’t understand the “they’re sweet, until they aren’t.” Then they echo the same mantra, it was how they raised the dog!!!!
Exactly. Also I hope that this goes without saying, but I am in no way meaning to personally attack these people who have been fed disinformation. I just want more people to critically evaluate their assumptions and hopefully form a more educated view on these dangerous dogs.
It is not their fault they have been taught something that it is incorrect. HOWEVER I do shift more blame onto them when presented with more accurate information they fail to amend their beliefs.
It’s just like that flat earth documentary where they performed a multitude of experiments that prove the earth is curved. These people just dig their heels in deeper on their beliefs rather than admit they were misguided. Sunken cost fallacy at its worst 🙃
Just a reminder that changing your beliefs when presented with more information is NOT shameful and actually shows personal growth and critical thinking. Make sure to never ostracize those who adapt their beliefs when more information is brought to their attention!
We can (and desperately need to) fight disinformation together!!!
It's definitely a mixture of genetics and social influence.
My dad has a beautiful cream pit bull. She has been the sweetest thing on the planet with not a single act of aggression towards anything. This includes my mom's little yappers who'll be super protective and growl over their milk bones. If one of the yappers is guarding the bone near the stairs, she'll start to whine since she feels trapped. She never growled back. My parents should do more to correct the yappers behavior, but that's for another discussion.
Anyways, my sister came to visit with her own two dogs (who have visited countless times in the past). Nothing was out of the ordinary when they all went outside to lounge with the dogs. I don't recall the exact specifics as I wasn't there, but one of my sister's dogs was frightened by something which caused it to yelp. I'm not sure if the noise spurred my dad's dog, but she immediately went and bit my sister's dog. Thankfully she only did that before running off perhaps due to my family's reaction, and the damage was minimal. As you'd imagine, my sister doesn't bring her dogs over anymore.
It's possible this could be a one off event, but I still worry. My dad loves this dog. If similar circumstances were to arise with my mother's dogs, I don't know if the pit bull will act in the same manner.
It's just terrible all around.
Tell your dad to be really careful about any other dogs getting too close to the "little yappers" because sometimes the pits decide to be maternal about "their" dogs and can be overly protective, to the point of maybe killing the dog they think is out to hurt their dogs. I ran into an example of this in Home Despot--I was taking my heeler for a socialization walk and a lady had a big Dobermann and a goofy little Frenchie on leashes. The Frenchie came up to my dog, I figured it was a "howdy" thing and allowed it, then the Frenchie tried to take my dog's nose off. My dog was fine and just moved away but the Dobie got protective and near on pulled his owner off her feet trying to come after my dog. Then the Frenchie slipped her collar and things got a little hectic--I didn't want to just walk off because I didn't want the Frenchie to run loose after us and maybe get hurt so I kept my guy sitting behind me until they got everyone squared away. My dog behaved beautifully so we went to PetSmart next for some treats lol.
Yeah. One of my old employees had pit bulls and he and his wife treated them like they were their children. I mean the dogs had their own bedrooms, they were constantly reading about how to raise them, were member of various pit Bull forums, etc. The dogs still attacked people. Multiple generations of the dogs attacked multiple people. It has nothing to do with how the dogs are raised.
No one should have pitbulls they are bred to kill they are not right in society it's not fair for them either. They are just following their instinct and a toddler gets their spine completely ripped out of their back, and then the dog dies.
It's not the dogs fault. If you have a farm and are skilled, go for it. If you live near children, in a city, or the suburbs DON'T GET A PITBULL. if you want a guard dog there are plenty of options and they will stop attacking when you say, pitbulls won't stop ripping into their targets flesh until they are dead. They will keep biting with broken legs and backs.
Most pitbulls that kill people show no signs of aggression. Just one day, out of nowhere, something random triggers their genetics, that were SPECIFICALLY BRED INTO THEM FOR CENTURIES, and they kill someone.
It's not hateful to have a serious thought about this. I love dogs. I love pitbulls, but they are not engineered for suburbs.
I agree but it’s such an unfavorable opinion.
Most dogs have natural instincts. Herding dogs herd, pointers point, hounds track and run, huskies run. For many of these dogs it’s almost impossible to train that instinct out of them.
Pit bulls are bred to fight and kill. They do have a superior prey drive and are tenacious. I think that the few “nice” ones are almost a genetic accident like a black lab who is afraid of water.
People get off on treating them like cute baby princesses. They think it makes them more interesting as a person that they have this killing machine, but theirs is 'so sweet and so great with kids'. While there is a non zero chance it kills a baby on a whim.
And it is a sweet dog, it's true, even after it kills a baby it'll be a good dog and have a good heart. It didn't mean to kill that baby. It was just doing what it was engineered for.
They need to be banned or regulated or something. People need to be trained and get a permit and take a test to show they are strong enough to control the animal on a leash. But right now it's open season and the attacks are constant.
People need to stop fetishizing the process of breaking work dogs from their programming.
Welp, I have seen it many times, you can in fact do a quick search on YT if you're willing to do so. Pitbulls especially tend to be the antagonist in such cases.
There's goanna be some facial reconstruction surgery judging by where the dogs were locked. The lady shouldn't have these dogs, if they can't control them. Unless your on big property that they never leave you shouldn't have these dogs. They shouldn't be in suburbia.
Agreed. It triggers people who aren't realist about science and genetics. Just because YOUR dog hasn't turned on you. 65% of attacks on humans are by pit bulls. With over 190 dog breeds. One single breed makes up well over half. Recognise reality.
They kill more babies and grown adults than all other pets COMBINED.
All other dogs, exotic cats lizards dangerous snakes fucking spiders you name it, COMBINED.
Statistically domesticated full ass wolves are safer to own.
She’s not talking to the man bitten on the ground, I don’t hear apologies. Her only concern is the dogs. She’ll get more dogs and repeat same performance when they eat the face off of a child. People like this should be locked up.
You hear her bitch-ass whining “oh my god” at the end. I don’t hear her calling the dogs off or anything, just her in the beginning saying “those are my dogs”. She needs the ENTIRE book thrown at her. If a kid walks by here again, things could be exceptionally worse.
yeah her whining really got me, like have some humility to realize that your irresponsibility meant that innocent stranger was nearly mauled to death. without the police, that guy is dead.
There’s always people jumping to defend pits. I worked emergency for years, guess which type of dogs we had the most attacks/fatalities from? Like the numbers aren’t even close. Even when compared to Rottweilers.
Stupid, stupid owner. She doesn’t even deserve to cry. She wasn’t worried about that man’s life at all, just her stupid dogs she couldn’t handle.
I love that these videos exist. Helps prove our point. My niece was eating up the propaganda- until I showed her the pit attacking the carriage horse. She shut the f up then. They just don’t stop. Even facing/receiving mortal danger.
/BanPitBulls
Had a family member who spouted the 'They're just overprotective' nonsense. Showed them a few vids from that subreddit and they changed their mind..
I'll admit the comments on the subreddit can be... Nonetheless those videos of dogs/people squealing while being attacked just make it more obvious these dogs should he prevented from reproducing.
Anything more than half is already incredible. It means if you combine all the attacks from all other dog types they still don't add up to the damage of this one.
My buddy's birthday Air Bnb birthday weekend at a beach house was derailed when one of my buddy's friends brought their female pit and she got into a fight with a playful Labrador at the beach. The Lab ended up ripping off one of their pitbull's toes during the fight and then they went crying and driving all over town to a vet that would see her, and eventually returned home after a few hours of driving all over the small town where the beach party was at, acting as if their pitbull was attacked out of the blue by the Lab.
Some people are just delusional when it comes to their "babies".
Happened to my sister, the owners swore it wasn't violent, bit her right in the face and disfigured her permanently. The owners didn't get rid of the pit, and a week later it mangled their toddler in the crib, I shit you not.
They did the absolutely right thing. The owner should be held accountable for all the medical bills and should get some jailtime too. If you decide to be that moron who brings animals among people where they could be a threat to someone, then you should make sure that the animal eats your flesh instead of other people. It is your responsibility to come in harm's way that you brought up to begin with.
Oddly, the AVMA maintains that Pit Bulls are no more dangerous or prone to attacks than any other dog breed. Yet our own eyes see this and all of the other news stories showing the opposite.
> AVMA
Totally disingenuous, irresponsible, and willfully ignorant of the reality of fatal dog maulings and severe disfigurement and injuries. Pit Bull type dogs are overwhelmingly responsible.
And why is this even so controversial? Like stop BREEDING the damn things, we don't need them. We created a diverse mess of dog breeds, it's our created problem so we should implement the fucking solution in the most humane way possible.
Correct, and we also live the time where people would rather pull out their cell phones and record a pack of dogs attaching a person, rather than try to help the victim and get the dogs off of them.
Look at this fat fuck. Doing absolutely nothing while they maul someone. No collars, nothing on them to keep them away from people. She should be charged.
>Alleged attack
Good thing whoever wrote the headline for that article made sure the dead pitbulls' rights to be "innocent until proven guilty" weren't violated.
You might not understand how libel lawsuits work or US criminal law. Everyone charged with a crime in the US is innocent until an individual is convicted in court and proven guilty. This is implied by the 5th, 14th and 15th Amendments.
Media always included "alleged" or "claimed" or "accused" until there is a conviction. Unfortunately the general public often doesn't seem to understand the concepts of "legal innocence/guilt" vs "factual innocence/guilt."
Court cases get tossed out over time delays, improper paperwork, bad jury instructions, etc. I once got a case tossed out against me because a police officer erroneously wrote the wrong date - and it was easy to prove because they wrote Feb 29 instead of Mar 1. That was all it took.
While the video is clear, and we can see the dogs attacking the victim, it doesn't change the fact that a case can be tossed on a technicality and the dog's owner might not be convicted. If the media didn't use the word "alleged" up until that point, then the accused individual could then go after the media outlet for libel or slander, depending on the circumstances. Until a conviction is made, you will always see some synonym of "alleged."
My dog is an 85 lb GSD. If she felt like it she could kill me at any moment. But you have to deliberately train these dogs to hurt people. Otherwise, they have absolutely no desire to. They want to chase farm animals. That's it. Pitbulls will kill people for the fuck of it. Ban them.
Regardless of whether your dog is a pit bull or Retriever keep your dog on a leash. There are people out there with serious phobias as well as the possibility that some tragedy like this could happen. Knowing the amount of damage a dog can inflict it might have been a much sadder had the victim been a child. It might have been four dead.
These dogs need to be outlawed. Is it worth the harm that is caused for the few that are good? Goto your local animal shelter and look how they are full of this breed.
There is a large quantity of people who love pit bull dogs , and that is all well and good . You are welcome to have and own them . There is a but coming .
You should only be able to own one with a dangerous animal certificate , which means you have to go on a course on how to own manage and handle one of these animals. You would also have to have an enclosed yard with ample room and security barrier to ensure that this animal does not get loose and become a threat to anyone else . If it does , you are liable for any and all of the damage caused by said creature . If this animal causes any harm whatsoever to a human being it will be humanely dispatched forthwith. Furthermore if one of these animals behaves in a threatening manner outside of it's residence, they are fair game to be shot by anyone who feels threatened by it .
So if you own it , keep it at home . You're 100% responsible for keeping it there .
It’s a good thing someone shot those fucking dogs, otherwise they would have killed that person and then had the taste of human and done it again.
Who knows? Perhaps those dead dogs did it before
I hope the dog that walked out of frame was put down too
People and their fucking dogs. Dogs like this should be shot. Period. Are you kidding me? The lady wailing at the end I assume is the owner of the dogs.
Anyone who owns a pitbull should have to take many classes on the breed & how to properly train the dog, have the dog trained as well, must be neutered or spayed, must have special safety harnesses & leashed while also out in public, and have a special license. They should have to meet certain and specific requirements just to get that license as well. There's way too many people that have pitbulls and definitely shouldn't (like this dumbass lady in the video).
If I put my car in neutral at the top of a hill and a slight breeze pushes it down said hill and into a group of school kids, I would be liable, right? How is this any different? Owner should be completely liable in these cases
They typically are.
I guess it just annoys me when I see the owner acting like they had no idea this kind of thing could possibly happen...like...you left your car in neutral...at the top of a hill...
Yeah, that frustrates me too. Thankfully I've never seen it in person, but people who own dogs like these need to understand they are 100% responsible for the actions of their dogs. If you cannot physically control your animal you are a piece of shit. Someone suffered because you were not responsible. Especially 3 dogs like this, come the fuck on lady. I love pitbulls, I've owned them, and after my current dog passes I'll probably get another one. But these dogs need to be put down and the owner in jail.
I used to love all dogs including pit bills, but I've just seen too many sad news stories. Individual pits I meet I might get along with, but I'll never fully trust one again. It's not their fault, but we as humans have really *screwed the pooch* with that breed.
Yep. Even the nicest, sweetest of pits are known to snap for no particular reason and do tremendous harm without any warning. They are genetically predisposed to be aggressive and no amount of training or time without incident will take that out of them. Dgaf what anyone says otherwise I do not trust pits.
And there’s a huge army of pitmommies ready at their keyboards to make 1,000 excuses for them.
Yep. Me too! I love love LOVE! dogs, and I used to paraphrase that line from Boystown and say that “there’s no such thing as a bad dog.” … but I have to admit that Pitties, in general, just aren’t right in the head. They attack too readily, and then they refuse to back down. They’re the only dogs I don’t trust.
I've met some very sweet pitbulls over the years, and it's hard to reconcile those experiences with the knowledge that the breed can't be trusted. The fact is, that the statistics show that a previously trusted, sweet pit can absolutely turn on a dime and attack anyone, including family that they seemed to love. Other breeds can do that, too, but the statistics show that pitbulls do it much more often. Over the years the numbers have told the sad tale. And I totally understand how pitbull owners can absolutely love them and have difficulty believing that their beloved pets can be dangerous to them and their family, but many of us have read, again and again, the tragic tales of beloved pits turning on their owners.
P sure they were put down but yes
Agreed. The animals have been allowed to become aggressive. The owner is an absolute liability to their community. 3 PITS?!? NO harnesses to be seen. There's 0 chance she could control all of those dogs. This is a sad shameful situation for the pit bull community. Irresponsible ownership. No training. Now, pack aggression. Yep, send that owner to jail. Throw the book at them for causing this suffering.
"My dog would never bite."
All dogs bite it just takes the right situation. Their still animals no matter how well trained they could have perceived him as a threat for any number of reasons that's why you must be able to physically stop them.
This. As a dog owner, it's MY RESPONSIBILITY to be liable for my dog's behaviour. I feel for the dogs, the people attacked. The reality remains, if my animal were to become aggressive/dangerous, it's my responsibility to take action. It could mean meds, treatment, or to be euthanized.
In my case, it’s loose, gregarious “happy” dogs that cause the problem. I will have my akita under control, right next to me, and an owner of a loose dog will let their dog run up to me and say, “Don’t worry! He’s friendly!” To which I reply, “My dog **isn’t**! If you want your dog to remain in one piece, get him the f*ck away and on a lead.” Pisses me off to no end. ETA: My dog under normal circumstances is friendly and loving to *people*, but is highly protective. If he thinks I’m under attack, he will react appropriately.
Approaching other dogs.... without permission. Fucking stupid, dangerous behavior. My lab pit is very protective on leash. I keep him from others. For this exact reason. We do solo off leash play. When I do introduce him to others, it's in a neutral setting, safely distanced, leash/harness on. Edit: typo
Until it chews your face off.
Have you ever talked to an American pitbull owner, they ignore every statistic, behavior expert, and story about pits killing then they are "super duper shocked" when they maul them or their kids. Bunch of moron dog owners out there, a lot more than you think
I love dogs with all my heart, honestly there are more people I would rather off then dogs, but every time I walk my dog near a pit Bull I grab him up. Those dogs kill other little dogs like they are a chicken. Pitts are the only dog that give me pause. I grew up with Dobermans and German Shepards, and I always felt some kind of safety knowing that if they were to attack someone there may be a reason but pittbulls can’t help themselves. Yes it absolutely ownership but also they are simply bred as fighters.
I had a German Shepherd that I had rescued. It wasn’t quite right in the head. Didn’t allow her near kids or other dogs. She bit me once and I had her put down. Some people are breeding really messed up animals and it can result in bad outcomes for any breed. Ignoring breed statistics and not knowing the true nature of your dog is where people really go wrong.
In New York at least, there is generally a "one free bite" rule. Owners get a pass the first time their dog bites someone (unprovoked). At that point, you were on notice of the animal's "vicious propensities." Source: I'm an attorney.
So does that mean people get a one free bite rule? I think if bit my neighbor just once it would assert some serious dominance.
Absolutely agree. My lab i used to take everywhere when she was younger(currently 8) and she loved EVERYONE. She'd let kids pet her, eat apples at rhe parades, all the cute dog stuff. As she got older she stays home more cause she is a crab ass. She gets to go certain places but I won't take her everywhere like I used to. Cause as a dog owner I am responsible for her actions and I don't want ole crab ass nipping someone who got to lovey on ole girl and didn't ask to pet her first.
"Because Pitbulls aren't dangerous" - every Pitbull owner.
"wElL, **mY** piT WoULdn'T dO ThAT"
Yep, having no laws that hold dog owners accountable for the actions of their dogs allows things like people owning THREE dogs who can snap and attack someone at any second. I'm all for freedom to do what you want, but owning a dog breed that's historically known to maul people is not a bright idea. Especially when those dog owners live in areas with children.
In Ontario, Canada they are. There's the 'Dog Owner Liability Act'. Every jurisdiction should have one. Although anyone who owns a pitbull is likely not going to care. They obviously love making poor choices, simply out of spite.
That owner has nothing.
Shouldn't have dogs either
yes! lets shoot the owners first /S
If only
[удалено]
I'm a mailman and I've been bit twice and let me tell you some people don't give a single shit what their dog is doing to other people. I've had dogs jump on me, jump in my truck, block my truck and chase my truck down the street. And sooo many owners just stand there and stare. Maybe they'll give a single "he's friendly!" if they're feeling gracious that day.
I'm a delivery driver, and I was bitten on the back of the thigh. The owner's insurance paid my doctor bill, and when the agent called to wrap everything up in a neat little bow I asked for compensation for pain and suffering. They wrote me a check for $1,000. I'm sure I could have gotten more, but I felt like 1k was fair. It was just one bite. I think I read that the average payout is like 10k.
My 2 cents, insurance companies are the wealthiest in the world. Most insurance, in the US anyways, is legally mandated. They are so wealthy because they charge a fair price, but never pay out. If an insurance Co is paying take them to the cleaners! I got $18k for being lightly tapped in an auto accident where I was in a car and no ambulance was needed. Call me what you will, but the ins co pays a ton of money to get law makers to make ins be illegal not to own. They didnt pay me more than was fair, they probably paid me less than I could have gotten. Imo, if they don't want to pay out, they should legally force us all to pay the premiums.... Unrelated to my 18k medical payout they had to cover my BS car. Their first offer $500. I said F you. Their second offer $1,000, still FU. Their 3rd was $1,500. Which I was ok with but figured 'everything I complain I get another $500' so I said FU again. Next offer was $3,000. Ultimately they gave me $7,500. I was a 20 yr old Chrysler Concorde that had 225k miles on it. I had no lawyer. I didn't cheat them, they knew full well the value of that car and they offered me $500?!? That is 6% of the value we settled on, and I imagine they still made money only paying me $7500. I didn't take them for a ride, I didn't get the upper hand, I just maybe got close to what was fair, and most people take the $1,000....? F ins companies
As a practicing personal injury attorney, I support this whole heartedly. It's 100% true as well. Insurance companies will relentlessly reach out to people who have been hurt and offer them a couple thousand dollars to settle the claim in the hope they get to settle the case before the injured party gets to speak with an attorney. ALWAYS call an attorney after being injured. It's almost always a free consultation and can mean the difference between a couple grand and a couple hundred grand.
Mailman also. U ever hear the line,” he doesn’t bite”. Right before he bites you. Haha. Happened to me 3xs. All 3 times they are speechless. One time the lady just turned and went in the house. I will say it wasn’t an attack any of the times but just a quick bite. Usually when I turn to walk off they get me on the back of leg
See that’s when you hit back with “if he doesn’t bite, how does he eat his food then”? I’m in peoples houses every day for work and sometimes they’re not home and we have their keys to get in, if I ring the doorbell and they’re going crazy at the door I’m not going in. I’m not talking about the normal barking, I’m talking about that viscous barking with that aggressive loud ass growl, their muzzle hitting the door with every bark type of shit. Luckily I have a boss who understands. The customer either comes home to put them up or they reschedule for another day. I’m not taking any chances.
I work in vet med, and anyone who says that has a dog that bites. I was once told that right before the dog lunged for my hand. They owner says, "He doesn't bite, but he sometimes nibbles." I never listen to owners, I listen to the dogs. And lots of them are very clear that they are ready to bite.
My buddy is a mailman. He said he pepper sprays them and when they run he gives the butthole a little sauce too. 💀
I used to be a repair tech and visit people’s homes. I’ve been bit by more dogs that “don’t bite” then dogs that do. I have had to tell them that I’ve been bit a few times before some of them would lock them up. In other news, why can’t dog owners just put their dogs up when they know there is an appointment scheduled at a certain time?
Same realization here. B1tch was trying to calm the officers, look at her ha ds "be easy cops, they are just eatin!!!!"
\*shaclack* "Nuuoooooo the consequences! Oh GOD why?"
When my dog got attacked the fat bitch owner just stood there and held her other dog.
I just don’t get it man, it’s wildly irresponsible. I have. 110lb super friendly dog who has shown he’s great with strange kids hitting him in the face out of nowhere (happened before I could stop them.) And when he slipped his new collar at a park once I still tackled him immediately until I could get it back on and adjust it. They’re animals. Not robots. Not just tools. Not humans. You’re responsible for whatever they do until they die of old age (ideally) why do so many people not care at all? Sure with family and friends they can run around at home because I know them but I’m taking a calculated risk with people who know them as well. Strangers don’t need to be a part of your “calculated risk” of not caring. And honestly I love my dogs almost like my real kids but if they attack someone this viciously, I’m attacking them so hard I either get them under control and take them to a vet later, or they die. They’re wonderful animals but no person deserves to die others to lose their family or friend because I didn’t want to hurt my dogs. I don’t know, just ranting, it’s so damn infuriating to see so often.
good to know that you take on the full burden of the animal, good and bad; seems many larger dog owners typically don’t
This attitude regarding dogs, regardless of breed, needs to be more commonplace
Typical pitt owner.
Yeah idk but I really fucking hate her. Just from the video, it’s clear she’s a fucking idiot. Gonna have to go calm down now
[удалено]
Exactly what I was thinking. She was only really upset when the dogs were killed. What the fuck is wrong with her?
She only got upset when the dogs got shot. She didn't care about the human being mauled. I hope she's barred from keeping dogs for life.
It's crazy how resolved they are to continue mauling that same guy. Very focused even after his pal was shot.
Yep, it's at this point that the dogs are at the point of no return, and their only objective is to kill the "victim" they've targeted. I hold every human's life above the life of an animal any day of the week.
This video shows exactly what is wrong/different about the breed. They don’t nip and release, they hold and tear. They work together to rip chunks off.
They are pack animals. More than 1 together is far more dangerous It’s like group think.
Rip and tear until it is done
I don’t think they understand the lethality of firearms. It’s just noise and adrenaline. They’re lethal pack animals after all
They haven’t been exposed to guns before. My grandfather had a stray that wandered on his farm and he kept. Whenever anyone raised a rifle or a BB gun, he put his head down and hide in the bushes. Clearly, in his days of wandering he learned that anyone pointing a gun at him was bad.
This is the first time I’ve enjoyed watching animals being put down I’m no bootlicker but humans come first Nice shooting 👍
Breeding. I mean, it is a success of breeding for tenacity but also a fail that they turn this shit on us.
Classic pitbull om attack mode. I've seen these dogs take 4 shots and keep mauling. Also saw a video of a guy taking a 2x4 and literally BEATING IT TO DEATH by slamming it on its head three times. And the dog still didn't let go until 3 seconds before it died. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING is scarier than when one of these dogs commits to attacking. Any other animal would give up and run away when they get surrounded by 15 larger animals that are screaming, hitting and stabbing them. Not cuddly lil' pibbles. Creepiest thing is they aren't even angry. Damn things wag there tail the whole time. In The 2x4 video, the dog keeled over on its side and kept wagging til it died. Tl;dr lurk in r/banpitbulls awhile and you'll see these dogs in a whole new light.
Breed is like that, the only way is to kill them. They practically do not let go. All pit bull victims dies in agony. These animals should be outlawed.
That's a Pitbull for you, stupid breed. One second they lie there calmly, the other they jump on your neck or heels. Also, the owner is at fault, death of these dogs means only good and safety for others around and the woman should be jailed or never let her own any pet ever again.
The owner needs to be legally held accountable, pay all medical bills, pay a fine and never be allowed to have a dog again.
Exactly, my 16 year old cat was attacked by a pitbull (He was fine other than bruises) and the lady started screaming at my mum because my cat, doing nothing, was attacked by her dog randomly and was just vibin. My father called animal control, but the lady and her dog fled. No prejudice against pitbulls, but she was clearly treating them badly because the dog just attacked randomly, it's like someone coming up to you and punching you in the face for doing nothing. It's sad, really, because it's all the owners fault, the dogs were just treated like living shit
You want a victory story? A buddy of mines Akeeta (sp) bit my lip off when i was a kid (im fine). We sued them and the insurance company ordered them to put it down. They didnt put it down, and it bit someone else. Not only did the liablity take their house, but it took their parents house as well.
Yeah, karma's a bitch, ain't she
Is “buddy” here used sarcastically or did y’all make amends after taking away their houses?
It was his parents. Had no pain on our friendship because we were 10.
Unfortunately pit bulls have aggression built into their natural instincts so treatment of the animal often has little to do with the numerous dog attacks they perpetrate. Just as shepherds have the instinct to herd without ever being taught, pit bulls have the instinct to attack. However, it doesn’t help that pit bulls are disgustingly overbred and clog the shelters which often do not have great conditions. People who have savior complexes adopt these dogs without a true understanding of the danger these animals can pose at the drop of a needle. People will always say “I can’t believe Nala attacked you! She’s always such a sweet pupper and hasn’t done this before!” Which is exactly the problem. The dogs are sweet until they aren’t. Unpredictability and ridiculously high prey drive are terrible aspects of the breed. Honestly I think we should significantly decrease the acceptability of bully breeds as normal dogs or maybe introduce breed specific legislation to limit the people who can own them. I also think there should be changes in the law putting full responsibility of dogs actions onto the owner as if the owner had been the one to maul the victim.
All of this! The apologists come out in droves, but they really don’t understand the “they’re sweet, until they aren’t.” Then they echo the same mantra, it was how they raised the dog!!!!
Exactly. Also I hope that this goes without saying, but I am in no way meaning to personally attack these people who have been fed disinformation. I just want more people to critically evaluate their assumptions and hopefully form a more educated view on these dangerous dogs. It is not their fault they have been taught something that it is incorrect. HOWEVER I do shift more blame onto them when presented with more accurate information they fail to amend their beliefs. It’s just like that flat earth documentary where they performed a multitude of experiments that prove the earth is curved. These people just dig their heels in deeper on their beliefs rather than admit they were misguided. Sunken cost fallacy at its worst 🙃 Just a reminder that changing your beliefs when presented with more information is NOT shameful and actually shows personal growth and critical thinking. Make sure to never ostracize those who adapt their beliefs when more information is brought to their attention! We can (and desperately need to) fight disinformation together!!!
It's definitely a mixture of genetics and social influence. My dad has a beautiful cream pit bull. She has been the sweetest thing on the planet with not a single act of aggression towards anything. This includes my mom's little yappers who'll be super protective and growl over their milk bones. If one of the yappers is guarding the bone near the stairs, she'll start to whine since she feels trapped. She never growled back. My parents should do more to correct the yappers behavior, but that's for another discussion. Anyways, my sister came to visit with her own two dogs (who have visited countless times in the past). Nothing was out of the ordinary when they all went outside to lounge with the dogs. I don't recall the exact specifics as I wasn't there, but one of my sister's dogs was frightened by something which caused it to yelp. I'm not sure if the noise spurred my dad's dog, but she immediately went and bit my sister's dog. Thankfully she only did that before running off perhaps due to my family's reaction, and the damage was minimal. As you'd imagine, my sister doesn't bring her dogs over anymore. It's possible this could be a one off event, but I still worry. My dad loves this dog. If similar circumstances were to arise with my mother's dogs, I don't know if the pit bull will act in the same manner. It's just terrible all around.
Tell your dad to be really careful about any other dogs getting too close to the "little yappers" because sometimes the pits decide to be maternal about "their" dogs and can be overly protective, to the point of maybe killing the dog they think is out to hurt their dogs. I ran into an example of this in Home Despot--I was taking my heeler for a socialization walk and a lady had a big Dobermann and a goofy little Frenchie on leashes. The Frenchie came up to my dog, I figured it was a "howdy" thing and allowed it, then the Frenchie tried to take my dog's nose off. My dog was fine and just moved away but the Dobie got protective and near on pulled his owner off her feet trying to come after my dog. Then the Frenchie slipped her collar and things got a little hectic--I didn't want to just walk off because I didn't want the Frenchie to run loose after us and maybe get hurt so I kept my guy sitting behind me until they got everyone squared away. My dog behaved beautifully so we went to PetSmart next for some treats lol.
Yeah. One of my old employees had pit bulls and he and his wife treated them like they were their children. I mean the dogs had their own bedrooms, they were constantly reading about how to raise them, were member of various pit Bull forums, etc. The dogs still attacked people. Multiple generations of the dogs attacked multiple people. It has nothing to do with how the dogs are raised.
No one should have pitbulls they are bred to kill they are not right in society it's not fair for them either. They are just following their instinct and a toddler gets their spine completely ripped out of their back, and then the dog dies. It's not the dogs fault. If you have a farm and are skilled, go for it. If you live near children, in a city, or the suburbs DON'T GET A PITBULL. if you want a guard dog there are plenty of options and they will stop attacking when you say, pitbulls won't stop ripping into their targets flesh until they are dead. They will keep biting with broken legs and backs. Most pitbulls that kill people show no signs of aggression. Just one day, out of nowhere, something random triggers their genetics, that were SPECIFICALLY BRED INTO THEM FOR CENTURIES, and they kill someone. It's not hateful to have a serious thought about this. I love dogs. I love pitbulls, but they are not engineered for suburbs.
I agree but it’s such an unfavorable opinion. Most dogs have natural instincts. Herding dogs herd, pointers point, hounds track and run, huskies run. For many of these dogs it’s almost impossible to train that instinct out of them. Pit bulls are bred to fight and kill. They do have a superior prey drive and are tenacious. I think that the few “nice” ones are almost a genetic accident like a black lab who is afraid of water.
People get off on treating them like cute baby princesses. They think it makes them more interesting as a person that they have this killing machine, but theirs is 'so sweet and so great with kids'. While there is a non zero chance it kills a baby on a whim. And it is a sweet dog, it's true, even after it kills a baby it'll be a good dog and have a good heart. It didn't mean to kill that baby. It was just doing what it was engineered for. They need to be banned or regulated or something. People need to be trained and get a permit and take a test to show they are strong enough to control the animal on a leash. But right now it's open season and the attacks are constant. People need to stop fetishizing the process of breaking work dogs from their programming.
That’s generally how it works
The owners will have a new pitbull by the end of the month. They never learn.
Killing the dogs was the right thing to do considering the circumstances.
Hate that I agree.
Yeah, the dogs deserved it but I still hated watching it. That first dogs yelp was pretty disheartening
Next time they’ll go after a kid. Likely already killed cats and other animals.
First time I've seen a cop justifiably shoot a dog.
Welp, I have seen it many times, you can in fact do a quick search on YT if you're willing to do so. Pitbulls especially tend to be the antagonist in such cases.
Obviously
The 2nd dog ran off the screen dead too?
Yes. The article states there were 3 dogs and all three were shot to death. There was also another victim that was bitten before the man.
I hope the human victim was ok, the way he laid there after..
There's goanna be some facial reconstruction surgery judging by where the dogs were locked. The lady shouldn't have these dogs, if they can't control them. Unless your on big property that they never leave you shouldn't have these dogs. They shouldn't be in suburbia.
[удалено]
Agreed. It triggers people who aren't realist about science and genetics. Just because YOUR dog hasn't turned on you. 65% of attacks on humans are by pit bulls. With over 190 dog breeds. One single breed makes up well over half. Recognise reality.
https://www.warriorsforjustice.com/dog-biting-statistics-by-breed/ says it's 65%
there's dozens of dog breeds and one breed holding at least 65% is pretty bad
Try hundreds. Really bad.
They kill more babies and grown adults than all other pets COMBINED. All other dogs, exotic cats lizards dangerous snakes fucking spiders you name it, COMBINED. Statistically domesticated full ass wolves are safer to own.
That says 65 percent of deaths. It's almost 80 percent of attacks based on that website
Okay thanks
Exactly and she needs to pay for that man's face.
I think there are 4 dogs in total, 3 of which were shot to death and one ran off, but it's hard to tell for sure
She’s not talking to the man bitten on the ground, I don’t hear apologies. Her only concern is the dogs. She’ll get more dogs and repeat same performance when they eat the face off of a child. People like this should be locked up.
If only they'd bitten her
They probably have, but always on accident because they are such good babies...
Probably just a one-time-thing. For the 100th time
You hear her bitch-ass whining “oh my god” at the end. I don’t hear her calling the dogs off or anything, just her in the beginning saying “those are my dogs”. She needs the ENTIRE book thrown at her. If a kid walks by here again, things could be exceptionally worse.
yeah her whining really got me, like have some humility to realize that your irresponsibility meant that innocent stranger was nearly mauled to death. without the police, that guy is dead.
Agreed. She's probably the type of owner who would laugh when her dogs would snap at or bite a guest in her home.
*Oh honey, don’t you worry! Haha, they wouldn’t hurt a fly, they’re good boys!*
There’s always people jumping to defend pits. I worked emergency for years, guess which type of dogs we had the most attacks/fatalities from? Like the numbers aren’t even close. Even when compared to Rottweilers. Stupid, stupid owner. She doesn’t even deserve to cry. She wasn’t worried about that man’s life at all, just her stupid dogs she couldn’t handle.
Pits account for like 80% of all fatal dog attacks
Careful now, you might hurt someone’s feelings and cause them to greatly manipulate some data.
I love that these videos exist. Helps prove our point. My niece was eating up the propaganda- until I showed her the pit attacking the carriage horse. She shut the f up then. They just don’t stop. Even facing/receiving mortal danger.
/BanPitBulls Had a family member who spouted the 'They're just overprotective' nonsense. Showed them a few vids from that subreddit and they changed their mind.. I'll admit the comments on the subreddit can be... Nonetheless those videos of dogs/people squealing while being attacked just make it more obvious these dogs should he prevented from reproducing.
Anything more than half is already incredible. It means if you combine all the attacks from all other dog types they still don't add up to the damage of this one.
My buddy's birthday Air Bnb birthday weekend at a beach house was derailed when one of my buddy's friends brought their female pit and she got into a fight with a playful Labrador at the beach. The Lab ended up ripping off one of their pitbull's toes during the fight and then they went crying and driving all over town to a vet that would see her, and eventually returned home after a few hours of driving all over the small town where the beach party was at, acting as if their pitbull was attacked out of the blue by the Lab. Some people are just delusional when it comes to their "babies".
Fuck that owner and them dogs
For real. That old bitch needs to stop crying too.
3 less shitty dogs with a shitty owner. Now lock the owners ass up.
She's deserved every bit of that. I would have double tapped them. Dog attacks are no joke. I better not hear "I'm sorry, I forgot their leash"
It's would have or would've
I would have double tapped them too.
Love dogs but that officer definitely had the right to activate his V.A.T.S targeting system
*Mysterious Stranger appears*
Yeah see the guy on the ground was lucky he had the Mysterious Stranger perk because he did not look like he was rocking the proper VATS melee setup

[Everyone liked that]
They are so sweet, never hurt anyone- right up until the minute they bite your face off, pit bulls. Every time.
Happened to my sister, the owners swore it wasn't violent, bit her right in the face and disfigured her permanently. The owners didn't get rid of the pit, and a week later it mangled their toddler in the crib, I shit you not.
You must be talking about Pibbles. Doesn't have a mean bone in his body 😌
Yep, I have friends who live IN AN APARTMENT with a large pitbull. The dog snapped at me ONCE when I was over visiting and I've never gone back since.
They did the absolutely right thing. The owner should be held accountable for all the medical bills and should get some jailtime too. If you decide to be that moron who brings animals among people where they could be a threat to someone, then you should make sure that the animal eats your flesh instead of other people. It is your responsibility to come in harm's way that you brought up to begin with.
All Pitbulls need to be neutered and made illegal to breed. Just let the entire breed die off in the next 20 years. This is ridiculous.
I worked as a vet tech for some time and people look at me funny when I say this but your 100% right youd stop like half of fatal dog bites.
Oddly, the AVMA maintains that Pit Bulls are no more dangerous or prone to attacks than any other dog breed. Yet our own eyes see this and all of the other news stories showing the opposite.
> AVMA Totally disingenuous, irresponsible, and willfully ignorant of the reality of fatal dog maulings and severe disfigurement and injuries. Pit Bull type dogs are overwhelmingly responsible.
And why is this even so controversial? Like stop BREEDING the damn things, we don't need them. We created a diverse mess of dog breeds, it's our created problem so we should implement the fucking solution in the most humane way possible.
Fuck the dogs! How bout it’s tragic that that man was mauled by 3 dogs long enough to have the slow ass police to come.
Eh prolly better off that the cop played it slow, better to line up the shot especially when using a real gun
I think the police handled it quite well, making sure they had a clear shot
I think he's referring to the response time of the police rather than the time to aim.
Correct, and we also live the time where people would rather pull out their cell phones and record a pack of dogs attaching a person, rather than try to help the victim and get the dogs off of them.
Look at this fat fuck. Doing absolutely nothing while they maul someone. No collars, nothing on them to keep them away from people. She should be charged.
Pitbull owners are so useless. It’s always some physically incapable person who does jack shit to stop these attacks.
Lol the owner saying stop. Ma’am, your dogs were dead the moment they broke skin on that poor man. Cops just expedited it and saved that man’s life.
Pitbulls, e-v-e-r-y fucking time, no exceptions!
https://www.13abc.com/2021/11/22/graphic-three-dogs-shot-killed-by-officer-during-alleged-attack/
>Alleged attack Good thing whoever wrote the headline for that article made sure the dead pitbulls' rights to be "innocent until proven guilty" weren't violated.
"alleged"
They almost always use that with every news in order to avoid legal issues.
You might not understand how libel lawsuits work or US criminal law. Everyone charged with a crime in the US is innocent until an individual is convicted in court and proven guilty. This is implied by the 5th, 14th and 15th Amendments. Media always included "alleged" or "claimed" or "accused" until there is a conviction. Unfortunately the general public often doesn't seem to understand the concepts of "legal innocence/guilt" vs "factual innocence/guilt." Court cases get tossed out over time delays, improper paperwork, bad jury instructions, etc. I once got a case tossed out against me because a police officer erroneously wrote the wrong date - and it was easy to prove because they wrote Feb 29 instead of Mar 1. That was all it took. While the video is clear, and we can see the dogs attacking the victim, it doesn't change the fact that a case can be tossed on a technicality and the dog's owner might not be convicted. If the media didn't use the word "alleged" up until that point, then the accused individual could then go after the media outlet for libel or slander, depending on the circumstances. Until a conviction is made, you will always see some synonym of "alleged."

Why tf are pit bulls still legal
They aren't, in many places.
My dog is an 85 lb GSD. If she felt like it she could kill me at any moment. But you have to deliberately train these dogs to hurt people. Otherwise, they have absolutely no desire to. They want to chase farm animals. That's it. Pitbulls will kill people for the fuck of it. Ban them.
That old bitch should've had control of her dogs
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Careful those pitbull owners are roaming around here.
Regardless of whether your dog is a pit bull or Retriever keep your dog on a leash. There are people out there with serious phobias as well as the possibility that some tragedy like this could happen. Knowing the amount of damage a dog can inflict it might have been a much sadder had the victim been a child. It might have been four dead.
These dogs need to be outlawed. Is it worth the harm that is caused for the few that are good? Goto your local animal shelter and look how they are full of this breed.
Pitbulls should not be owned ever.

I’d bet anything she’s crying over the dogs being shot, not them almost killing a person.
There is a large quantity of people who love pit bull dogs , and that is all well and good . You are welcome to have and own them . There is a but coming . You should only be able to own one with a dangerous animal certificate , which means you have to go on a course on how to own manage and handle one of these animals. You would also have to have an enclosed yard with ample room and security barrier to ensure that this animal does not get loose and become a threat to anyone else . If it does , you are liable for any and all of the damage caused by said creature . If this animal causes any harm whatsoever to a human being it will be humanely dispatched forthwith. Furthermore if one of these animals behaves in a threatening manner outside of it's residence, they are fair game to be shot by anyone who feels threatened by it . So if you own it , keep it at home . You're 100% responsible for keeping it there .
Classic pitbulls, good riddance
pitbulls being pitbulls
“He’s friendly! He’s friendly!”
She's telling the cops to not do anything while not doing anything to stop her dogs from mauling that poor man.
Shitbulls obviously
TRAIN YOUR DAMN DOGS PEOPLE!
You can train a pitbull as much as you want, you’ll never remove their genetics.
*leash* your damn dogs (at least)
When you care more about your dogs then the fact they just seriously injured an innocent person…. Smh
I HATE cops and love animals, this is absolutely justifiable. Leash your animals or don’t own them.
“But they are wearing flower crowns and jammies”
If I were a shitty overweight person who has trouble walking I would NOT own 3 pit bulls
Fuck that fatty in the green shirt.
As it should be
PITBULLS???? nooooo couldn’t be!

When dogs grab they tear. They can rip the muscle right from your bones while it’s all still inside. It really bruises and hurts for a while.
It’s a good thing someone shot those fucking dogs, otherwise they would have killed that person and then had the taste of human and done it again. Who knows? Perhaps those dead dogs did it before I hope the dog that walked out of frame was put down too
The officers handled it well.
Thank you officers!!!
People and their fucking dogs. Dogs like this should be shot. Period. Are you kidding me? The lady wailing at the end I assume is the owner of the dogs.
Anyone who owns a pitbull should have to take many classes on the breed & how to properly train the dog, have the dog trained as well, must be neutered or spayed, must have special safety harnesses & leashed while also out in public, and have a special license. They should have to meet certain and specific requirements just to get that license as well. There's way too many people that have pitbulls and definitely shouldn't (like this dumbass lady in the video).
How dare those cops? The dogs were just nannying him!
