It's funny that you're so stupid, you don't know how to interpret my post without resorting to some personal attacks. Try re-reading, you may find some different meaning, but then again we've established you're an idiot. For the record we've been together for 6 years, I hardly see how a government contract is relevant to my family.

But she's not vicious? Eta: bookmarked for when this dog eats your baby's face off.

How is her physically getting between my GF and fricking strangers considered vicious.. I didn't say she attacks them. Idiot 2 down.

as someone mentioned before, owners need to be held financially and criminally responsible for anything their animals do. you want a pit bull, fine, you will just spend time in a jail cell when they kill a child and if its lucky enough to just be a hospital bill, you will have to sell your house to pay the medical bills, then its your choice to have one or not

---

I am fine with this. My dogs have literally never been out of my control and I don't see how a responsible dog owner could ever lose control. When we moved into the new house the first thing I do was secure the fences at the bottom and the top for my pit and dalmatian. If you choose to have a dog, gun, a few drinks, you need to be liable for anything you choose to do, thats the price of freedom.

That's a problem

Why? People should not be approaching my pregnant gf in our yard.. If I were home there would have been a much bigger threat to those said strangers.

quote:

So she is overprotective of your gf? You don't see any issue with that? You don't ever think that the dog could see your child as a stranger trying to get near your gf?

---

Keyword was pregnant and strangers. We're also not talking about attacking, we're talking about typical stand between, sit on your feet behavior. We have plenty of family, which she loves.



Look Im not saying every pit is a dog worth having or saving, what I am saying is most of you here are mouth breathers at best. The type of people who preach the evils of marijuana, but go drinking and driving every Friday night.

Then again, about 1/4 of the people you'll ever meet are as dumb as rocks.

OP is full of shite, troll thread.

The breed is predictably unpredictable. Might work out fine, happens all the time. Less likely, but also might snap and attack your child. Your call, but know that while the risk may be low, you are taking a risk.

At 7 years old, I got attacked by a pit bull that was a sweet, loving pet of a dear family friend with no history of violence. Luckily his owner was an enormous man that was standing next to me when it happened so I only suffered a broken bone.

I've seen a good amount of dog bites in children over the years as a peds nurse. Majority of the dogs that bit the kids....pits.


Guess how many were the family pet that just snapped all of a sudden on the child?


Again...yes...all breeds have the capability to bite/snap at a child. But why would you want your child to be anywhere near a breed that has the biological capability of killing or severely disfiguring your child.


I cared for a 10 year old once with NO NOSE because he was bitten by a pit as a baby. He is severely disfigured and will live the rest of his life this way because of that. The sweetest child you can imagine that was robbed of a normal childhood and life because his white trash parents just had to have their pit(the child's grandmother now has custody of the child fwiw).

This is an indication of the issue I have with most Pit apologists. They claim various things about the breed or their dogs and don't understand a basic characteristic of the breed.

These dogs bond with specific people who essentially become part of the pack. They can't tell your friends from strangers and even the best behaved switch to protective mode in a heartbeat. Odds are, the dog will bond with your kid, though that is not guaranteed, then your issues increase exponentially. Every one of your kids friends will be a potential threat.

Your analogy is flawed. Banning guns would be akin to banning dogs. Banning a breed is like banning a type of weapon, which has been done. Also, the Constitution doesn't specify the right to bear pit bulls.

---

No no, you brought up statistics so I followed through. You can use any circular logic you want, but the statistics don't follow the trail you're putting down. Ahh yes the old fall back on the 2a. Look I'm not the one making the legal case to repeal it, you are.

And yes I am fully aware of how dog attacks work. I was attacked by a black lab that'd had gotten loose when I was 5. At 30 I still have the scars on my face.

I've already said it, I think if we're going to be free to make these choices owners should be responsible for every action their dog, or gun, or anything you decide to do causes. I wouldn't be opposed to a license and training to own dogs larger than say 40lbs? Hell I had to do it to for my CHL, don't see it being a problem on my end.

There are far more guns than pit bulls in the U.S. Why would you expect the number of incidents to be similar?

---

That number was for all dogs and people of all ages. I also specifically called out accumulative time spent with each as a part of risk factor. How many minors are spending their day with a gun on them?

I never really felt bad about the Mike Vick thing bc it was shite pit bull dogs anyways.
