re: California baw saves his pitbull from black bear by punching bear in the face

That shite is funny.

The most famous movie star out of Alaska is Brodie the bear.

I wouldn't allow children near any pitbull. So yes-every single one of them is dangerous as far as I'm concerned.

You can feel free to bring your children around them. Good luck.

I went to a place called Turpentine creek that was a haven for rescued animals from across the nation.
It had everything from big cats to brown bears.

The first thing I saw was a 850 pound brown bear that was chewing on a log in a swimming pool. It was more intimidating than the rest. It was quite the experience.

So are you saying that all pit bulls are dangerous? Every single one of them?

My opinion of pit bulls is a little more tempered than the standard OT reply. I have been around 3 "very sweet" ones in my life. Two have actually stayed in my home while the "parents" were on vacation. All three had what I considered to be good pet owners the owners of the two that stayed with us were rescues and the wife was a vet tech. 2 of those three have over the years needed to be re-homed due to aggression issues.

I see them like this, most of them have lineage that can be traced to some form of fight training separating out the whole "what is a pit bull" discussion. Aggression in simply built into their DNA. One of our dogs is a Basset and she doesn't bark or pay significant attention to most any creature including other dogs unless they are actually playing. That said if she sees a rabbit she goes nuts, not an armadillo, possum, raccoon, or squirrel just rabbits. She has never been hunting or even around real hunting dogs but she knows rabbits are her job.

I see pit bulls like a loaded gun with a canine-sized brain it may never go off but the chances of it are higher than most any breed that can do serious damage despite having good owners. It is just a risk that I would not take.

I am not in favor of systematically killing off the breed because if we do the trashy people that want pits for the testosterone boost will just move on to dogs like the Cane Corso and Dogo Argentino. If that same group of people start selectively breeding those dogs for size and aggression they will make the pit bull family look like .380s compared to 10mm.

Would have tried to do the same for my pitbull. frick all y’all.

I hope your dog gets mauled by a pack of chihuahuas.

I was definitely pulling for the bear on that one. The pit probably started it.

We are gonna have a pit bull thread and a “could a human fight off such and such animal” thread all in one.

I’m not sure I believe his story tbh. I bet he ran at the bear and it dropped the dog and ran. I do not believe he jumped on a bear and punched it repeatedly without the bear tearing his arse up

As a dog owner, I feel it is probably safer to have the black bear hanging out with my dogs than the pitbull.
