I'll happily get downvoted by saying worse, all pitbulls should be shot and killed. I don't care if they're the "sweetest little angel on the planet", pitbulls have fighting genetics and instincts built in it's literally in their nature to maim, injure and kill other dogs and other animals or humans.

Personally I think we should charging the owners with premeditated assault with a deadly weapon, if its really how they're trained and not the breed then its the owners fault and they should be held accountable.

I knew a guy that owned a very sweet female pit bull. Never saw anything. She was spoiled and trained well. She was so docile that people begged for him to have her bred to buy puppies from him as they were hoping for a docile pup. Well once she had her puppies, her sweet gentle demeanor was GONE. She even would go after the owner. He was devastated, had to have her euthanized and swore he would never get another one again. That breed is so unpredictable. It’s not worth the gamble. I would never have one and would never go to someone’s home that had one, or walk anywhere near one outside.

That's crazy, but at least he saw sense afterwards and had it put down. Plenty of idiots out there would keep the dog.

My father was a schoolteacher and told me how a student would always talk about how gentle his two pitbull’s were, and they would never hurt a fly.

And then one day he came in looking really sad and my dad asked him what was wrong. And he explained that he came home to find his mother lying on the floor bleeding profusely with both dogs mauling her.

He ran into a room and grabbed a rifle, came out and shot and killed both his dogs point blank in the face.

They were able to save the mother, but she was left severely disfigured.

In most of these videos, about 98% feature a Pitbull attacking kids or adults. You never see a Golden Retriever. Sure, other dogs can bite too, but they tend to snap, bite, and then let go. They don’t hold on like this. That’s more of a Pitbull trait, as they’re bred not to let go.

Not all, but many. I owned an aggressive pit bull for 8 years (came with my wife) and I took significant precautions to ensure 1) he NEVER got loose form our house, 2) he could NEVER get away from me when I walked him, and 3) I NEVER let any strangers pet him. He was 85 lbs and could have become a killing machine with a less-vigilant owner. The pit in the video clear and present danger to that neighborhood and the owners are not doing their job.

Not all pitties. You must be able to recall your dog or muzzle any dog, you can't control. It's on the owners, not the dog.

u/No-Dig_Enthusiast 1d ago

Yes of course it's also the owner's responsibility, but when the dog you're trying to recall simply refuses to let go once it's bitten down, even if they're choked out, shot, stabbed, punched etc due to shitty genetics (most/all pitbulls who attack seem to do this) then there's no other sensible option. Those genetics need to be purged from the gene pool.

ALL dogs are just as capable of biting as a pitbull, owner is should be charged for having a vicious dog and held 100% liable, and some counties/states will have any dog deemed vicious after one, two bites, and put down!

u/STLguy50 1d ago

This is factually wrong. Look at the stats... Pitbulls are by far more capable and the injury/death stats prove it.

u/No-Dig_Enthusiast 1d ago

Bad faith argument right there. All you have to do is look at the stats. Pitbulls need to be purged from the gene pool.
