Nah. Him I respect. You not so much.Careful now...he may think you're being idioticious too
I "mostly" agree. The ultimate responsibility lies on the owner. A dog doesn't have the same level of reasoned thought as a person and can't be blamed for following it's instincts. However... unlike a firearm... they are capable of independent, sometimes unpredictable action and they are predisposed to certain personality characteristics.Gun deaths = the shooter
Bite deaths = the owner of the dog
Well I don't know you so I wouldn't call you stupid. There are a lot of breed bias and it usually stems from ignorance, or uneducated. Fine, you don't believe a guy posting online. Check with dog trainers or vets or watch pitbulls and parolees. Why do so many folks in Hollywood have a pit mix of some sort? If you want to get technical, the breed pitbull does not exist. All of mine have been lovers and not fighters. In fact, my wife didn't want to get the first one because her understanding of the breed matched yours or maybe lack of understanding.Laughable...but I see where your stance is. Anyone who makes the argument that pits have a screw loose somewhere are just stupid and uneducated. Whatever dude.
How many stories..oh, such a sweet, lovable, family pet..but a switch went off. Never harmed a soul. But then...it just flipped and tore a muscle out of my 10 year old..or killed my poodle on a walk.
Dumb. Stop defending it.
Guess if a pit does that again it must have been one of those genetic families that missed getting 'bred out'
You obviously have never owned a Sig.unlike a firearm
Truth flows through you.You obviously have never owned a Sig.
Oh crap. Is he with the back from his trip yet?
Hey, now, that's a Sig P320 you don't want to look at crooked. The P22x guns are sound-as-a-pound!You obviously have never owned a Sig.

THIS! I have "heard" tales of a dog that kills that supposedly never showed any sign of being a problem. I tend to take those tales with a healthy amount of salt. I have seen a LOT of problem dogs. All of them that finally did something to be put down showed the owners they had a problem LONG before disaster struck. The thing I keep seeing is people who know they have a problem dog and make one excuse after another until the dog finally does something they can't get out of. People like that should have pay BIG time. Dog kills? People should be brought up on murder charges.1. Notice how it says "Pit bull breeds" as in all breeds that people label and mislabel as pit bulls.
That is the equivalent of saying all herding or retrieving breeds and lumping them together to get numbers.
2. Glocks account for most gang violence - because Glock is very easy to rhyme in rap music.
Pits are similar in that they look beefy AF and appeal to a certain type of person as a status symbol.
That doesn't make the breed inherently dangerous and in fact it takes very little research or self education to find out that pits that bit humans were put down and bred out, as they needed to be able to get in the ring without getting bit by the fighting dogs.
Gun deaths = the shooter
Bite deaths = the owner of the dog
For the love of god and all that is holy...NO.What about wasp spray ?
You are right there! Heck, I'm not even sure it works on wasps most of the time.There is also NO REASON to use wasp spray.
Pssst. Don't tell anyone, but I was carrying my P238 tonight. Love that gun.Hey, now, that's a Sig P320 you don't want to look at crooked. The P22x guns are sound-as-a-pound!
Sadly while Dogs really can be man's best friend, MANY dog owners are a dogs worst enemy. I really HATE having to harm a dog since it's ALWAYS some moron owner who is at fault.ive owned a mix and pet sat 3 different ones over the years. The different kinds of "pit bulls" can make very good pets and be very affectionate, but the owner really needs to be in control
Dobermans are Significantly smarter than pit bulls and can be trained to do amazing things - but so many owners treat them like "guard dogs" and want them aggressive, attacking tires, intruders etc that many of them
become dangerous as well. It's a shame.
Someone asked me "are you afraid your dog will bite your kid"? My response was "my kid is more likely to get hit by lightning than be bitten by my dog, BUT my dog might knock her over down the stairs."I realize the breed has some attraction for some types of people, but there is no denying that pitbull breeds alone are responsible for a little over 22% of all dog attacks, and training doesn't always override their natural instincts 100% of the time.
"They're a misunderstood breed. My pitbull is a big baby, very well socialized and well trained". EXACTLY what every owner of a pitbull said that suddenly found themselves in a situation where their pitbull suddenly decided to try and bite someone's face off.. for no apparent reason.
I'm not saying it's inevitable, but natural instincts can be overpowering if even for a moment. Go ask sigfreid and roy about that.
Some places don't have state wide leash laws, but even then, most towns and cities do. I happen to love dogs, but regardless of the breed, I can't stand owners with their dogs off leash. It shows a level of disrespect for others, it's irresponsible... and the impression it gives to others? If a person is irresponsible about leash laws, what makes you think I'm going to trust that person was responsible in training their dog?
Other people don't know you. They don't know your dog. If it goes charging toward someone "just to play"... no one else is going to know that and is more likely to react immediately and defensively. Which... may just trigger a dog to suddenly turn from running up just to say "hi" into attacking.
What's the likely result of that? The owner of course will blame you for provoking their dog to attack instead of taking responsibility for not keeping their dog under complete control while in public. Obviously!!
I dunno. Only about 300 people are struck by lightening each year and 4.5 million are bitten by a dog. I would imagine that people walking around in thunderstorms carrying a metal object 24/7 would significantly increase their odds of a lightening strike.Someone asked me "are you afraid your dog will bite your kid"? My response was "my kid is more likely to get hit by lightning than be bitten by my dog, BUT my dog might knock her over down the stairs."
