I imagine you’re trying be funny and hard with this comment, but I hope you know that it will not work.

No, I’m not trying to sound hard. A pit bull is not a very big thing. I’m a fairly athletic big guy. I could at least dislocate or maybe even break the thing’s ribs/legs/hips/ribs/back.

I will share what I know from raising Pits back in the 70's. We took great precautions to ensure the dogs remained under control at all times. The only way to get them to release the locked jaw, besides a bullet, is the proper use of a "Break Stick". We carried this with us anytime we handled the dogs. The stick is like a wood hammer handle that is whittled down to a wedge like an Oyster knife. Grab dog from behind by scruff if the neck, straddle the dog, squeeze your legs very tight above his hip, pull up to get his front legs off the ground, jam the stick near the back of his teeth and pry like you are opening an Oyster, continuing to pull up. When he releases keep the stick jammed in his mouth and keep off the ground. This has been the method for 100 years on farms and in the country when Pits where actually working dogs.

I own a heinz 57 with a noticeable amount of pitbull in it. When she chomps down on her rope, I can lift her off the ground with it and she won't let go. I would suggest killing the dog if it is attacking something. Probably the only way to get it to let go.

Shoot it

If you don't have a gun but do have a knife, cut his nuts off

If you have neither one, kick it in the nuts repeatedly

If it's a gyp, stab it in the eye or gouge both it's eyes out.

Its trying to kill someone, so you need to use whatever means immediately at your disposal to attempt to kill it.

This is misinformation and unnecessary. Every pit bull owner I’ve ever met tells me pit bulls don’t bite

A 12 gauge shotgun. Also, if a pit attacks anyone, it should be a mandatory 5 year minimum sentence that escalates based on injury. The animal should be considered a weapon so you could tack on aggravated assault, manslaughter, negligent homicide, etc.

Our fair new city of St George should go ahead and put shite like this into the city charter.

If it’s an intact male (which most are) rip its nuts off.

Always carry and put it down?

Knife to its eye ball?


Sharp stick through the eye?


Lots of options besides standing there screaming like a bitch.

if it has a collar on grab and twist tight until it passes out and stops breathing.

I remember as a kid, a piece of sh&t pitbull had my dog by the throat. My dad got a shovel and buried it into the pitbull's back and spine. He let go and fell straight down. Enjoyed watching him slowly die.

9mm to the guts

He'll let go
