    Pit bulls: kind, loving dogs; until they are not...

    Police are investigating the death of a 56-year-old Far South Side man whose daughter came home Sunday night to find him covered in blood and apparently killed by the pit bulls she was raising...

    I've known three Pit Bulls in my life. I spent years of my life with them. I've been bitten three times, by a Chow, a Collie and a Shepherd.

    Investigate the people raising the dogs wrong, or place some responsibility on people buying dogs bred from wrongly raised parent breeds. It's nurture, not nature.

    Now, I'm not saying that aspects of their nature doesn't make them more dangerous than other breeds when the nurture makes them monsters. Such is the case, but I've seen some of the most vicious and snarling dogs be breeds most consider "family" and "friendly" breeds.

    I recall that Pit Bulls were once used as rescue dogs.

    dude probably beat them or some . i have a pit at work that is nothing but love. i could care less for these stories cause there's no background on what has happened to these dogs or who is caring for these dogs.

    as long as the maulings occur within the owners home or backyard, it's their problem. i'm sorry for the family though...tough lesson to learn.

    yes, it's how they are raised and yes, it's the fact that they are beasts with beastly mauling ability.

    i can raise a lion to be a kittycat, but if a kittycat has a bad day and gets pissed off, it's not likely to rip my head off and eat me.

    Perhaps you haven't...but that doesn't change the fact that Golden Retrievers and Pit Bulls scored almost exactly the same in temperment tests(The Pit Bulls actually scored slightly better).

    American Pit Bull Terrier - 85.3% pass rate

    Golden Retriever - 84.6% pass rate

    There are also plenty of examples
    of other dogs that bite. Pits are just singled out.


    Oh..and here's a few people you might know that own Pit Bulls. I wonder why they haven't eaten them yet?

    The problem is the pit bull's capacity for doing damage.

    I've been around dozens of pitbulls in my lifetime. I have also been bitten by more chihuahua's than pitts by a score of 3-0.

    Meh...that's a cop out. Any large dog that attacks a human is just as capable of mortally wounding them...and as you can see by that list of articles, all dogs are capable of biting if they are not raised properly.

    Was not Lassie a Collie? I have three scars around my left eye from the time lil' miss Lassie attacked me when I was four. Had the dog not been a family friend's, and had the father not been right there, I may have been mauled to death by a dog historically viewed to be a family friendly dog.

    Maybe not a retriever, but still...

    Exactly. Which is why you want to raise them right. Exercise, loving attention, food, water, and perhaps NOT having them chained up in the backyard 24/7. I doubt it's a coincidence this story took place on the south side of Chicago considering like 99.9% of these pitbull stories are either in a trailer park or a rough urban setting.

    But how come the reports I see is all about pit bull maulings? And why do they have to ban pit bulls in cities like Denver?

    I wont let my boy be alone with a neighbor's pitbull. It was bred for biting down without letting the prey go. It's only friendly and lovable and sweet until someone gets hurt.

    Because of people like you who don't really understand. It's ignorant public pressure. A whole lot of pitbull owners are either stupid redneck trailer trash or inner city thugs who get it only for street cred. Those kind of people are gonna cause trouble either way. But for people like my sister and her husband with 2 of them, who feed them, let them indoors, take them for walks, and treat them civilly, they WILL be the most loyal and submissive of dogs.


    BTW, if I saw a big dog that I have no idea about, I really wouldn't mind its breed only where the can I run to if it chases me

    This is why Pit Bulls are a superior breed.

    It's not being ignorant when you dont want to risk your child being mauled by pitbulls. I know other dogs can hurt you too but pits are more aggressive.

    If a nationwide law will be made banning this breed, I will vote for it and encourage others to do so.
    There are other breeds of dogs, why get a pitbull? When they attack, they will not stop and let go. Plus, it already has a reputation that tempts those rednecks/thugs to parade them and train them for attacking just to earn streetcred.

    There is no such thing as a "universally aggressive breed". If there were, Cesar Millan would be out of business. The breed is never going to go away no matter any laws. The dogfighters will continue to breed them and the plain ol animal abusers will only go on to the next "badass" breed (setting that one up for a mauling). So by doing so you are only potentially taking a loving member of a family away from those who are competent enough to raise them. I wouldn't mind however, a law banning the breeding of them considering there are too many of every breed. I'm not sure if you meant that or banning them as in Jews in the holocaust style

    They are not more aggressive. It's a myth created by the media. Any dog that is not raised properly(training, dog/people socialization) can become aggressive.
