I have a 3 year old pitbull, she's like 40 pounds. real small, about the most lovable dog you'll ever meet and is smarter than most people on this board.

if the owner is a piece of shit degenerate idiot, the dog is going to be a piece of shit degenerate nigger dog too. why is that such a hard idea to grasp?

so many fucking meme-spouting parrots on this board that never fucking think about anything other than what their retarded inner circle tells them.

>>727109407
yeah, don't blame the dog...how would you act if you were raised by a nigger??

>>727108938
wont do shit because its a bunch of fucking Congolese dindus that pretend they cant speak English. Animal control has been over at lest three times on my account.

Shitty owners will have shitty dogs regardless of the breed.

A neighbor across the street from me had a dog they kept outside all the time. I have no idea what breed it was but it had long black hair and it'd stand out on the street barking every night all night long... Till a week or so ago when a large vehicle that clearly was speeding ran it over. Few minutes of the dog version of screaming and now it's gone...

None of the dogs in my neighbor hood that bark all night or try to bite you while you're working on your car have any pitbull in them. IT doesn't matter though because once one of them does bit a kid it'll be called a pitbull. I've seen an obvious German shepherd labeled as a pitbull after an attack...

Meanwhile my terrier greyhound mix gets called a pitbull occasionally. She runs like a greyhound and clearly has terrier traits. She stays almost perfectly quite outside of the night the dog got ran over. She barked a bit under her breathe and stopped when I told her to stop.

Any little confrontation, shoot or stab the piece of shit.

>>727109496
Agreed. My super at my old job had a pit that he adopted from our shelter. He said before he adopted she was fucken messy and crazy. He trained her and she became one of the best behaved dogs I have ever met. Everyone loved her and she was often used for our meet and greets for people looking to adopt because she never had a problem with other dogs. Shitty owners makes a shitth dog.

Pitbull owners can be the worst of the worst
Pitbulls as a breed are okay. They're smart, can be easily trained, and naturally love humans more than their own kin.
The issues is that they're almost all raised as big tough macho guard dogs by idiots who don't know what they're doing and just end up beating a lot of mental issues into the animal.

>>727109848

Like many things people can't identify dogs properly 80% of the time. Hell without genetic testing even vets can have issues determining if a dog is a pit bull or one of the 10 or so similar looking breeds out there...

It's like that graphic you see occasionally labeled "media's guide to guns" and everything is basically labeled AK 47...

i love all these people that make excuses for pitbulls. They sound exactly like the people that get triggered when people say islam is a horrible religion that justifies murder.

>>727109848
that's a good point...some dogs were bred to have more aggression...but how the dog is raised has a HUGE impact on behavior...enough so that they shouldn't be acting the way they do when owned by a nigger

Pits can be very sweet dogs, but niggers usually get a hold of them and want to make them muscular guard dogs.

Ex roommate had one. Lovable dog but hyper as fuck and the guy would come home at night and beat the shit out of him. Pissed me off to no end. He ended up selling him.

>>727110370

Pitbulls were bred to be aggressive towards small animals such as rats (ratbating used to be huge). That was moved to being aggressive to other dogs when dog fighting became a thing.

Any aggression towards humans was not tolerated because people had to be in the pit with the dogs or the dog and rats. So naturally a dog that attacks people will be put down and not bred.

Aggressive towards small animals while non aggressive towards humans and easy to handle. That was the goals of the breeding for MANY generations.


Anyone old enough to remember when the "nigger dog" was dobermans? Or rottweilers? Or even German Shepard? Pretty much every decade or so a specific dog breed dominates the fearlines (headlines)...

The huge glaring issue in your statistics is that NONE of those dogs were actually genetically tested. The breed is usually reported by a cop or civilian neither of which have training in dog identification and probably aren't even aware of 1/4 of the dog breeds in existence. The default is to call any medium to large dog attack a pitbull attack even when the breed is clearly not a pitbull..

This isn't like car accidents where you can easily identify the car by looking at the registration or VIN.

I'm sorry faggot, I've known too many pits to know that's a false statement. While they can be agressive, that's how they were bred, and if you're a competent human being you can raise one to be as sweet as any other dog. A lot of people prefer to raise them from puppies which I feel is the best way to raise them anyways.

My best friend had a pit. Sweetest dog you'd ever meet. She'd always want to play and would always lay up in your lap if you were just relaxing. I never once heard anything of her being violent towards anyone.

If you train a dog like a human being instead of worthless trash, you'll have a sweet and loyal companion, and that can be said for any breed of dog.

Pitbulls are a hard dog breed to train. Most people should get a golden retriever or a cat but instead they get dogs like rottweilers, german shepherds, and huskies which are all great dogs but will walk all over you.

I have an actual wild dog, but I've been around animals all my life.

>>727108706
that's not a pitbull. it's an american bully. it's a mutt between pitbulls-types(mostly apbt and staffordshire), american bulldogs, and some other molossers. problem is pitbulls were bred for high gameness and prey drive, though aggressiveness towards humans wasn't reinforced. The molossers they're mixed with are usually guard-dog breeds and have a natural aversion to strangers. When you mix these two, you get a very confused dog that is very likely to cause an accident. Hopefully their horrible confirmation standards will mean it gets tired before it kills anyone.
>>727111249
>So naturally a dog that attacks people will be put down and not bred
that is not true. there is no evidence of culling man-bitters. I can tell you personally that even today it's not done. All you need is that the dog wants to kill the other dog much more than any human. Man-bitting isn't reinforced, but it's not significantly selected against. To say it was the goal is very dishonest.
>Anyone old enough to remember when the "nigger dog" was dobermans?
none of those dogs had a couple hundred years of fighting background behind them. There was no basis for saying they could have increased aggression.
>>727113204
english staffordshires have the same background as APBTs. You can actually have one dual registered as an APBT and a Staffordshire as the AKC has no APBT breed. the difference is one continued mostly in the pits while the other in the show ring and diverged significantly enough that one would be on average much worse if they went to the pit. Staffys ARE truly pitbulls though.

>>727114745

You're displaying an amazing amount of ignorance about the breeding history of the pit bull. Your talk of alpha shit has nothing to do with it. Any dog that expressed aggression to any of the ring handlers or the owner would be put down thus ending those genes.

>>727115675
>amount of ignorance
You mean like all your baseless assertions being totally fabricated as pointed out here: >>727115573

>>727115573

You're displaying an incredible amount of ignorance towards pit fighting. People have to separate the dogs at some point and a dog that randomly bites everyone isn't going to be allowed by the owners of the ring or dealt with by the people running the show. It's basic common fucking sense. The breed originated to fight rats in a pit which then expanded to other animals. You have to handle the dog a lot to do so and any dog that attacks humans aggressively isn't going to be manageable for fighting. The dog's dont fucking magically teleport in and out of the pit or know when the fight is considered over by the humans (fights aren't generally to the death with dogs).

animals24-7.org

These dogs where confirmed pit bulls by following legal proceedings, some even despite owners registering them as other breeds to violate state bans. In fact the totals are higher but cannot be confirmed until verified.

So what is your point exactly? Are you saying they are not producing 3/4 of mutilations and fatalities? Are you saying it's everyone's fault but theirs? Or are you saying "But look how cute he is when i dress him up awwww"?

Take the doggo far way and give it to some doggo center.

>>727117104

I'm saying it should be clear to anyone being honest that there is a tendency to identify every dog that attacked a person as a pitbull. Since no genetic testing is done we have to rely on people with limited knowledge on dogs to identify the breed of the offending dog.

I have seen dogs misidentified in this manner MANY times first hand. Cops pretty much default to pit bull when identifying aggressive dogs.

Your "statistic" would be valid if they actually bothered to genetically identify the dogs involved.

>>727117104

Legal proceedings are a fucking joke.

>You're displaying an incredible amount of ignorance towards pit fighting
As pointed when in the comment you replied to, all you need is that the dog wants to kill the other dog much more than any other human. Funny you'd call me ignorant. I won't make any claims over the internet about what I know or what i've done as you'll just say i'm lying, but I can at least ask about your knowledge and hope you don't lie. Have you ever worked with any working dog while it's actually working? Have you ever worked with a shepherd doing bite work? or a catch-dog on a hunt? or seen a pitbull come to scratch while at death's door? Any working dog worth its feed has focus unrivaled by any human. It's not going to suddenly ignore the dog in front of it and start biting the human for no reason. A pit biting a human was never a death sentence, specially not if it was one of the champions who are today ancestors to most pits. It would have to be a serious problem before it was culled, not just an incident or two. Do you know how much a good dog was worth? Again, i'm not saying aggression towards humans is inherently higher, but saying it was selected against is very dishonest. It is at best on par with the average dog.

>>727117520
>These dogs where confirmed pit bulls by following legal proceedings, some even despite owners registering them as other breeds to violate state bans. In fact the totals are higher but cannot be confirmed until verified.

What part of reading fact's is difficult to you exactly?

You are flat out dishonestly asserting that everyone involved in, and in recording of pit bull attacks are wrong, despite the involvement of several experts, even after the dogs are verified as pit bulls even despite dishonest owners registering the dogs otherwise to avoid state bans.

You are involved in Ad-hoc apologetics to an absurd degree.

>>727118244
Mate you simply CAN NOT sit there and say human aggression was tolerated by the good dog men of the past and expect to come across as legit. Every fucking book written about those days talks of human aggression as a totally undesirable trait. I also can't sit here and argue every human aggressive dog was destroyed but I can and will argue it was purposefully bred out of the breed. Not many dogs can say that about their ancestors.
> Niggers own "Petbulls", not Pitbulls.
There is a difference

>>727121490
they are what they are but remember they a just animals in the end, i met some pittbulls and they were never agressive, maybe in eeuu you just treat dogs like shit and they end up attacking everyone, you are all crazy after all

>>727108706
Fuck you and fuck all you ignorant prices of shit pitbulls are one of the best breeds of dog they were known as nanny dogs for a very long time till dog fighting started for the pit to be such a good gardian it was also a very good fighter so people chose it think about it my while life I've had pits they never did anything that hurt no one most even raised kittens as there pups it's the owner when the dog is that aggressive or it could just want attention and that's why it barks so much ether way don't shoot the dog because a lot of people would kill someone who killed there dog but if the dog is aggressive it's most likely the owners fault or it could be a gard dog ment for the purpose of barking when something gets near but if you shoot that dog I hope the owner kills you

I partially agree with >>727109027 that you should poison it. Get a nice big bowl of anti-freeze and leave it where the dog can get to it. It smells and tastes sweet to them and they'll drink it up. This will kill the doggo and prevent further borking.

Please be responsible and remove the bowl after it has served its purpose, as you shouldn't harm any other animals in the area that aren't a bother to you.

All you faggots that don't like pitbulls are beta cucks. Just because some people are terrible owners doesn't mean pitbulls are a shit race of dog.

If you've had troubles with dogs in your life there's probably something wrong with you.

>Mate you simply CAN NOT sit there and say human aggression
I can because 1. I personally know far more about the breed's history than you ever will and have raised more than you have ever seen.
But i'm against pulling rank on the internet so i'll just say that the burden of proof is on you if you're going to make the claim that it was specifically selected against despite the fact that it makes no sense. It's not necessary to have a pit with 0 human aggression to perform in the pits and it doesn't make sense to cull one because of one or two bites on a human if these types of incidents happen sparingly. Again, do you know how much a good dog was worth?
>Every fucking book written about those days talks of human aggression as a totally undesirable trait
now you're just lying. I doubt you have ANY book written by an actual dogman much less enough to say "every" with any confidence. And it would be a huge case of "do as I say not as I do" even if every book said "cull man-bitters" on the cover. Again, these dogs aren't cheap. Of course human aggression was undesirable, but it wasn't the big deal you make it out to be.
>there is a difference.
And in the pit that difference is huge. Outside of it, "petbulls" are probably more dangerous. It doesn't matter if that dog is deadgame or would quit in 20 in the pit, most people won't be fighting it for 20 minutes.
>>727123987
>>727124419
pits aren't shit dogs. In fact, to me, they're one of the most admirable breeds out there. An average one will show dedication when working for you that most people could ever hope to match. You do no one any favors by trying to give them the image of a Labrador. Their tenacity can cause problems that you wouldn't face with any other dog. I've had a pit with seperation anxiety that would pull a bar 8 ft in the ground out and chew through an outside door to get inside the house if left alone long enough. If you don't want to believe my personal stories...

i've had people ask if my shar-pei was a pitbull. and one guy even thought she was a mastiff (shes's only 40 lbs)

Pit bulls were created by breeding bulldogs and terriers together to produce a dog that combined the gameness and agility of the terrier with the strength of the bulldog.[3] In the United Kingdom, these dogs were used in blood sports such as bull-baiting and bear-baiting. These blood sports were officially eliminated in 1835 as Britain began to introduce animal welfare laws. Since dogfights were cheaper to organize and far easier to conceal from the law than bull or bear baits, blood sport proponents turned to pitting their dogs against each other instead. Dog fighting was used as both a blood sport (often involving gambling) and a way to continue to test the quality of their stock. For decades afterwards, dog fighting clandestinely took place in small areas of Britain and America. In the early 20th century pit bulls were used as catch dogs in America for semi-wild cattle and hogs, to hunt, and drive livestock, and as family companions.[3] Some have been selectively bred for their fighting prowess.[5][6]

Pit bulls successfully fill the role of companion dogs, police dogs,[11][12] and therapy dogs.[13] Pit bulls also constitute the majority of dogs used for illegal dog fighting in America.[14] In addition, law enforcement organisations report these dogs are used for other nefarious purposes, such as guarding illegal narcotics operations,[15][16] use against police,[17] and as attack dogs.[18]
Pit bull/chocolate lab mix

In an effort to counter the fighting reputation of pit bull-type dogs, in 1996 the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals renamed pit bull terriers to "St. Francis Terriers", so that people might be more likely to adopt them.[19] 60 temperament-screened dogs were adopted until the program was halted, after several of the newly adopted pit bulls killed cats.[20] The New York City Center for Animal Care and Control tried a similar approach in 2004, relabeling their pit bulls as "New Yorkies", but dropped the idea in the face of overwhelming public opposition.[21][22]

Pit bull, muzzled

Violent interactions between humans and canines have been studied by the US government,[23] notably the Center for Disease Control and Prevention,[24] as well as academic veterinary researchers.[25] The interpretation of these studies, breed identification and relevance [26] issues, and variable circumstances have given rise to intense controversy.[27][28][29] In a 2014 literature review of dog bite studies, the American Veterinary Medical Association states that breed is a poor sole predictor of dog bites and that controlled studies show no increased risk in pit bulls,[25] and has previously noted fundamental problems with tracking breed in dog bite related fatalities.[30] In a 2013 study of 256 fatalities in the United States from 2000–2009, the AVMA determined that valid breed determination was possible for only 17.6% of cases.[31] The Center for Disease Control and Prevention notes that studies on dog bite related fatalities which collect information by surveying news reports employ a methodology subject to potential errors, as some fatal attacks may not have been reported, a study might not find all relevant news reports, and the dog breed might be misidentified.[32]

Just because you DON'T LIKE the FACTS and STATISTICS posted by ANIMAL EXPERTS that don't support YOUR BASELESS OPINION.

The definition of Fallacy, Look that up.

Contrary to popular myth, pit bulls do not have "locking jaws".[33] There is no physiological "locking mechanism" in the jaw muscle and bone structure of pit bulls or other dogs.[34] Pit bull-type dogs, like other terriers, hunting and bull-baiting breeds,[35] can exhibit a bite, hold, and shake behavior and at times refuse to release.[16][36][37] Pit bulls also have wide skulls, well-developed facial muscles, and strong jaws,[33] and some research suggests that pit bull bites are particularly serious because they tend to bite deeply and grind their molars into tissue.[38] Breaking an ammonia ampule and holding it up to the dog's nose can cause the dog to release its hold.[36]

Notable pit bulls

Pit bull breeds have become famous for their roles as soldiers, police dogs, search and rescue dogs, actors, television personalities, seeing eye dogs, and celebrity pets. The Bull Terrier mix Nipper, the model for the painting His Master's Voice, and the American Staffordshire Terrier, Pete the Pup from the movie Little Rascals are two historically well known pit bulls. Lesser known, but still historically notable pit bulls include Billie Holiday's companion "Mister",[76] Helen Keller's dog "Sir Thomas",[77] Buster Brown's dog "Tige",[78] Horatio Jackson's dog "Bud",[79][80] President Theodore Roosevelt's Pit Bull terrier "Pete", "Jack Brutus" who served for Company K, the First Connecticut Volunteer Infantry during the civil war,[81] Sergeant Stubby who served for the 102nd Infantry, 26th (Yankee) Division during World War I, and Sir Walter Scott's "Wasp".[82]

That's a lab you dick

In a range of studies, the breeds found to be highly represented in biting incidents were German Shepherd Dog,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,50 mixed breed,1,4,6,8,10,11,12,19,17, 20,50 pit bull type,5,9,13,16,21,20,22,23,24,25,26,27 Rottweiler,15,18,22,24,25,28 Jack Russell Terrier,21,25,26 and others (Chow Chow,7,23 Spaniel,14,26 Collie,3,29 Saint Bernard,20 and Labrador Retriever2).

If you consider only the much smaller number of cases that resulted in very severe injuries or fatalities,21,23 pit bull-type dogs are more frequently identified. However this may relate to the popularity of the breed in the victim's community, reporting biases and the dog's treatment by its owner (e.g., use as fighting dogs21). It is worth noting that fatal dog attacks in some areas of Canada are attributed mainly to sled dogs and Siberian Huskies,56 presumably due to the regional prevalence of these breeds. See Table 1 for a summary of breed data related to bite injuries.

TlLdr Stop making me do more work for you
At least green text your point. I'm not going to read pages of articles to assume what ever it is your trying to get at.

Controlled Studies

The prevalence of particular dog breeds can also change rapidly over time, often influenced by distinct peaks of popularity for specific breeds. It seems that increased popularity is sometimes followed by increases in bite reports in some large breeds. For example there was a distinct peak in American Kennel Club registration of Rottweilers30 between 1990 and 1995, and they come at the top of the list of 'biting breeds' for the first time in studies of bites causing hospitalization in the late 90s and early 2000s.25,28,15,58 While it must be noted that other fad breeds such as Dalmatians and Irish setters do not seem to make similar appearances, any estimate of breed-based risk must take into account the prevalence of the breed in the population at the time and place of serious biting events.17,31

Then I realized that genuinely, fuck pitbulls.

Fuck all you lower class subhuman scum who own them too. You know you own the dog for the low key factor of danger you lying faggots.

No matter how much you talk about it's the owner, etc, the FACT is that with pitbulls that margin of error is slim to none. They can legit kill you or severely injure. I'm not worried about a lab killing me. Even a german shepherd I'm not stressing compared to a fully grown pit.

ITT: ignorant apologists that don't know what too-fast breeding can do to genetics

For example, researchers can compare well-documented bite cases with matched control households. Using this method, one study found that the breeds disproportionately involved in bite injuries requiring medical attention in the Denver area (where pit bull types are not permitted) were the German Shepherd Dog and Chow Chow.64

Other studies use estimates of breed prevalence that do not relate specifically to the households where the bites occurred, such as general community surveys, breed registries, licensed dogs or animal shelter populations (See Table 2.). A study in Rome, Italy where molloser dogs like mastiff are reputed to be the most dangerous dogs, found they were not disproportionately involved in biting incidents when taking into account their prevalence in the community.32 These prevalence referenced studies attribute higher risk to the German Shepherd Dog and crosses60,61,62,63,64, and various other breeds (mixed breed,62,63 Cocker spaniel,61,65 Chow Chow,64,65 Collie,61 Doberman,60 Lhasa Apso,44,65 Rottweiler,49 Springer Spaniel,43 Shih Tsu,43 and Poodle62).

There's almost no pit bull in there, so eat shit

Aggressive Breeds

Based on behavioral assessments and owner surveys the breeds that were more aggressive towards people were small to medium-sized dogs such as the collies, toy breeds and spaniels.33,34,35,36,37 For example, a survey of general veterinary clientele in Canada (specifically practices in New Brunswick, Novia Scotia, and Prince Edward Island) identified Lhasa Apso, Springer spaniel and Shih Tsu as more likely to bite.43

While small dogs may be more aggressive their size means they are less likely to inflict serious bite injury except on vulnerable individuals or as part of a pack attack, which also allows dogs to seriously or injury healthy older children or adults.38,39 Referrals for aggression problems more closely approximate the breeds implicated in serious bite attacks, probably because owners are more likely to seek treatment for aggression in dogs that are large enough to be dangerous. Larger dogs (regardless of breed) are implicated in more attacks on humans40 and other dogs.41

Certain large breeds are notably under-represented in bite statistics such as large hounds and retrievers (e.g., Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers)35,43—although even these breeds may have known aggressive subtypes.42 Results relating to German Shepherd Dogs are mixed,36,43 suggesting there may be particularly high variability in this breed, perhaps depending on regional subtypes or ownership factors.

>pseudoscientific terms

>>727108706
oh, and ITT: liberal-minded fuckwads who don't understand how strong nature is as they want to pretend that nurture is the only thing that matters

Pit Bull Types

Owners of pit bull-type dogs deal with a strong breed stigma,44 however controlled studies have not identified this breed group as disproportionately dangerous. The pit bull type is particularly ambiguous as a "breed" encompassing a range of pedigree breeds, informal types and appearances that cannot be reliably identified. Visual determination of dog breed is known to not always be reliable.45 And witnesses may be predisposed to assume that a vicious dog is of this type.

It should also be considered that the incidence of pit bull-type dogs' involvement in severe and fatal attacks may represent high prevalence in neighborhoods that present high risk to the young children who are the most common victim of severe or fatal attacks. And as owners of stigmatized breeds are more likely to have involvement in criminal and/or violent acts46—breed correlations may have the owner's behavior as the underlying causal factor.
Breed Bans

Most serious dog bite injuries (requiring hospital treatment) in the United States are the victim being a young child54 and the dog being un-neutered and familiar (belonging to the family, a family friend or neighbor).32,47,48,54 Therefore responsible ownership and supervision is key to minimizing the risk of dog bites in communities.

While some study authors suggest limiting ownership of specific breeds might reduce injuries (e.g., pit bull type,49 German Shepherd Dog50) it has not been demonstrated that introducing a breed-specific ban will reduce the rate or severity of bite injuries occurring in the community.8,51 Strategies known to result in decreased bite incidents include active enforcement of dog control ordinances,52 and these may include ordinances relating to breed.53

Conclusion

Maulings by dogs can cause terrible injuries47 and death—and it is natural for those dealing with the victims to seek to address the immediate causes. However as Duffy et al (2008) wrote of their survey based data: "The substantial within-breed variation…suggests that it is inappropriate to make predictions about a given dog's propensity for aggressive behavior based solely on its breed." While breed is a factor, the impact of other factors relating to the individual animal (such as training method, sex and neutering status), the target (e.g. owner versus stranger), and the context in which the dog is kept (e.g. urban versus rural) prevent breed from having significant predictive value in its own right. Also the nature of a breed has been shown to vary across time, geographically, and according to breed subtypes such as those raised for conformation showing versus field trials.37

Given that breed is a poor sole predictor of aggressiveness and pit bull-type dogs are not implicated in controlled studies it is difficult to support the targeting of this breed as a basis for dog bite prevention. If breeds are to be targeted a cluster of large breeds would be implicated including the German shepherd and shepherd crosses and other breeds that vary by location.

If current news reports are to be believed, pit bulls have been attacking and biting humans left and right—to the point that many communities are considering breed-specific bans on pit bulls.

Would it surprise you to learn that pit bulls used to be America’s darlings? Before the mid-80s, stories of pit bull attacks are practically non-existent. There is even some confusion over exactly which breed of dog is a pit bull — the definition includes the American pit bull terrier, the Staffordshire terrier and, at times, the bulldog. This confusion seems to have dogged the breed from the beginning, as there is some disagreement over the origin of pit bulls.

Where do pit bulls come from and how did they get such a bad rap?
Two possible histories of pit bulls

In one theory, pit bulls began during antiquity as the so-called Molossus, a now-extinct breed that was used by the Greeks as shepherds and guard dogs. In times of war, they marched off to battle with their humans. Eventually, so the theory goes, the Molossus made it to early Britain, where it became known as the Mastiff. In the first century CE, Rome discovered the breed after defeating the Britons, and the dogs spread all over the empire. For the next four hundred years, they were used as war dogs, and intermixed with various local breeds all over the European continent, becoming the forerunners of the modern pit bull.

A competing theory places the origin of the pit bull in England at the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066, when butchers would use large, Mastiff-type dogs as “bullenbeissers,” which translates as “bull biter.” Trained to latch onto a bull’s nose and not let go until the animal was subdued, these dogs were the only way that humans could regain control when a bull became agitated. Unfortunately, this practical if dubious use eventually led to the “sport” of bull-baiting, where dogs were put in a pit with an intentionally riled-up bull and spectators placed bets on which dog would hold on the longest, or bring the bull down. You’ve probably guessed it by now, but this is also the origin of the terms “pit bull dog” and “bulldog.”

Still not a specific breed, the bullenbeissers were bred with Terriers, combining their intelligence with the strength of the Mastiffs. As bull-baiting came to be banned in the 19th century, dog fighting became popular as an underground and quasi-illegal activity in the UK. British immigrants to the U.S. at that time brought dog fighting, as well as their dogs, to the New World. However, as the breed spread to Americans and Americans spread across the continent, pit bulls began to be put to their original use, as general purpose herding and working dogs. Because of their fighting history, though, the American Kennel Club would not recognize the breed until 1936, although they defined it as a Staffordshire terrier, distinct from the American pit bull terrier.

Early perceptions of pit bulls

Far from being considered a killing machine on legs, pit bulls seem to be an American favorite in the early half of the century — indeed, during World War I, the country itself is personified as a pit bull on army recruitment posters, and several pit bulls go on to become famous in the American military. Referring to an athlete as a pit bull is a very common sports metaphor through the 1930s, and it is meant as the highest compliment. There is also a famous racehorse in the late 1930s named Pit Bull, as well as a number of pit bull stars of early motion pictures. Frequently, pit bulls are associated with children, as in the Our Gang comedies, as well as with Buster Brown, both in short films and as the corporate mascot for a shoe company. The famous RCA Victor image of a dog and a gramophone also featured a pit bull terrier.

From the turn of the century until the early 1980s, there is exactly one dog attack story to make the national papers and mention pit bulls, but that’s probably because it involved a man intentionally siccing a pack of 26 dogs on a young woman. According to a 1947 article in The Independent (St. Petersburg, Florida), “Attorneys said they believed it was the first time the state had invoked a statute which would find the owner guilty of manslaughter if it were proven that he permitted vicious animals to run free and they attacked and killed a human being.” There’s no mention of pit bulls as vicious and no call for a ban of the breed, just a human who is held responsible for inducing the dogs to attack. Ironically, though, it is in Florida forty years after this incident that the first breed-specific ban is enacted. In the intervening decades, “pit bull” continues to be a popular description for athletes and when the breed does turn up in newspapers, it’s more often than not in a classified ad for puppies.

>>727129215
No, you cited that they feel a lot of attacks where preventable.

>Objective—To examine potentially preventable factors
> included absence of an able-bodied person to intervene [87.1%]

That says nothing about recorded history of 3/4 of mauling and fatality are attributed by Pit bulls.

Your cherry picking a dog behavioral study and trying to wave it around as if children aren't having their faces ripped off by Pit bulls at a 3 to 1 ratio to any other breed.

You're one retarded, lazy fucker alright. Pointing to an entire library or website and saying "My argument is somewhere in there" is not "Doing the work for you"

The only mention during the 1960s that isn’t an ad is a rather amusing bit from gossip columnist Earl Wilson, who reported in his August 22, 1969 column, “Sonny and Cher, who used to scare people, have now been scared by people. ‘Totally horrified’ by the Sharon Tate murder case, they bought a big dog — ‘a pit bull terrier’ — to protect them and their little daughter Chaste [sic] at their Hollywood Home...” It is at about this time that using large dogs for personal protection becomes popular, but pit bulls are still not singled out as particularly dangerous. In 1971, a new law allows the U.S. Postal Service to bill people for injuries caused to letter carriers by their dogs, but it applies to all dogs, and the general attitude is still one of human responsibility. In a syndicated New York Times story from 1977 on dog bites, opening with the story of a seven year-old boy receiving a very minor injury from a Great Dane, author Jane E. Brody advises, “(S)imple precautions on the part of the dog owners and potential victims could prevent most of these attacks.”

Change in perception and ban on pit bulls

Less than a decade later, that had all changed, and by New Year’s Day 1986, over thirty communities are considering breed specific legislation and bans on pit bulls. What changed?

For one thing, despite being illegal in all fifty states, dog fighting made a comeback in the 80s, and the pit bull is the dog of choice. It is also the preferred guard dog for drug dealers and gangs, with a hugely publicized attack in 1987 in which a pit bull guarding a marijuana crop in California mauls and kills a two-and-a-half year-old boy.

By the summer of that year, every single proposed ban has become law, but not necessarily with the support of animal professionals. Kent Salazar, head of Albuquerque’s animal control division, commented at the time of their proposed ban on pit bulls that he didn’t think a ban on pit bulls was necessary, saying, “We have all the means to protect people with clauses about vicious dogs.” He also noted that, a few years previously, Doberman pinschers were the target of such bans. His words went unheeded, and Tijeras, New Mexico, just outside of Albuquerque, passes the toughest pit bull ban of the time, allowing animal control officers to seize and destroy them on sight without compensation to the owner.

The various pit bull breed bans are decried by animal control officials as “the most concentrated legal assault on a pit bull they can recall,” as well as “canine racism.” The Houston Chronicle quotes unnamed officials as placing the blame for the problem squarely on humans. “(M)any of the pit bull attacks are due to a skyrocketing number of poorly bred and badly trained dogs raised by backyard breeders, who are trying to cash in on the pit bull’s growing reputation as a cheap, but deadly effective guard dog, particularly in urban areas.”

niggers teach dog how to be like nigger, dog is not nigger. dog just learns from master.

Nearly thirty years after the beginning of this anti-pit bull hysteria, the tide seems to be turning a little bit, but every step forward is followed by a step back. Even as Florida is attempting to overturn all breed-specific legislation, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin is considering imposing a new ban. Yet it only takes a brief look at the history of pit bulls to realize that the dogs are not the problem; the humans who misuse them are. For over a hundred years, holding the owners personally responsible was enough to prevent attacks, and the breed was perceived as very child-friendly. With outreach and education, it may be possible to restore that image and rehabilitate the pit bull’s reputation, restoring an iconic American dog to its rightful place among mankind’s best friends.

>was every single person that raised a pitbull that hurt someone doing something wrong to get lumped in that statistic?

Yep

We see this every 10 years or so because of niggers and their fads. Pitbulls are owned in disproportionately high numbers by niggers who don't take care of them and are just generally scum people. That's why pitbulls (or misidentified variations) end up attacking in higher numbers.

We saw the same thing when niggers wanted to own dobermans in the 80s, and german shepard dogs in the 90s...read a fucking book sometime and think analytically.

I identify as a pitbull, but I'm not aggressive.

>>727112486
Not only are a large amount of people who own these dogs bad owners, but media loves calling any dog attack a pit bull attack. I had a german shepard who attacked my brother. The local news called it a pit bull. It isn't the first time that it happened either, but thats the most personal case that i know.

If you are attacking a breed of dog in this thread you are an autist or a troll. Human's have been dog's companions for millions of years. If you have something against dogs there is something mentally wrong with you.

>>727131178
Its not about the breed actually. Most attacks are from your run of the mill doggo. In my experience the most vicious dog breeds are the smallest ones they are not able to do a lot of damage of course but they are very prone to aggression

Proof that im a plastic surgeon. That was a car crash

Degenerates think pitbulls are cool. Degenerates get pitbulls. Pitbulls are raised by degenerates. Pitbulls act like the degenerates that raised it.

That's all it is. Breed specific legislation is basically just saying "take these away so trashy people don't ruin them."

>>727131890
I see your point. My wife had a plastic surgeon attend to her after a leg wound, but that didn't come until much later.

Is it common for a cosmetic surgeon to attend the trauma like that? Seems like an ER or trauma surgeons would take care of that and the cosmetic guys would come in much later.

animals24-7.org

He asserted we blame the niggers, than called me racist for blaming the niggers, then congratulated me for being lazy and blaming the niggers.

I had a neighbor that was always gone but had a little ankle bitter that would never shut the fuck up. Apartment life sucks. I am not about harming animals so I took a piece of cardboard and a bit of raw meat would crush up a few over the counter sleeping aides into the meat and slide it under the door. Pupper would eat the meat yap for about 10 mins then silence.

>>727132929
No.

>>727109496
>why is that such a hard idea to grasp

Because Pit Bulls (regardless of owner) have been bred for generations to erupt, bite, and kill.

Hope your adorable puppy mauls your grandmother. It's just a matter of time.

>>727133582
In my layman's opinion, if i had a facial injury (ear hanging off) or such, i would ask for a plastic surgeon right off the bat, it's their specialty. I mean any one can sew it back on but...
Clearly a larger wound would need attending first, or one not around the face etc, like your wife's injury.

>>727132741
Not literature. Just experience. Because dog attacks and bites are just numbers to. Most people but i see them everyday and i tell you pits are not normal dogs.

>>727133582
It depends. If the vascular axis of the limb is not compromised aka the limb will live the reconstructions of tendons, muscle and peripheral nerves are done by a plastic surgeon. Most of my surgeries are trauma i rarely do cosmetic surgery

I have witnessed (witnessed!) 3 pit bull attacks just last year. I live in downtown LA. Homeless, Mexicans and niggers errrywhere....I am positive those 3 attacks didn't get registered. 1 attack ripped a dogs leg off.
Yeah I'm sure they absolutely love their owners, but kids and other animals are on the shit list.

depends on how theyve been trained and socialized. your neighbors are fucking that dog up. they dont like being kept outside all and isolated. if you do need to keep them outside make sure you spend at least a few hours a day with them. theyre social creatures and just like people the more time they spend alone the more they anxious they become when someone comes near them. the pit bull breed is pretty aggressive to being with and without the right training they carry a massive risk.

The number of violent pitbulls only accounts for a percentage of total pitbull attacks.

Just because pitbull attacks have a higher body count doesn't mean pitbull attacks are worse than other dog attacks, it just mean they were being more effective.
