how do you ban dogs?
So another day another story of a child mauled by a Pit Bull.
When are we going to ban these animals to protect the children they attack?
It seems it's always a child (not an adult/owner) and someone always has to say something along the lines of "I never thought the dog would do that".
I don't care if you think these dogs are raised this way, or are this way because of the way they've been bred over centuries, either way they should be banned.
Enough already...
how do you ban dogs?
You have absolutely no right to an opinion on this subject since you have yet to put up 20 and 10 in the NBA.
You can ban certain breeds, it's been done in other cities...
Just put them on all-ignore.
shut up noobs
my neighbors got a pitbull, which im taking care of for a month since they are on vacation.
it is the sweetest dog ever, even though it stinks so bad. it always wants attention and rolls on it's belly for some scratching.
ban the bad ones, not the good ones. if u can do that.
Dude I put up 30/15, I'm no Bogut...
How bout we just ban stupid people? It seems like this thread comes up once a month. Where's TSA when you need him?
How about if we ban stupid children?
I bet the little er pissed the pit bull off somehow.
the kid.
Let the pit bull kick his ass for pissing him off.
ban the owners not the breed, i have 6 of them and they are the biggest babys in the world, so pm5k stfu
haha
didn't take long
How about we ban children that annoy these dogs causing them to attack?
we could ban dog fighting then people wouldnt be training them to be mean.
Trust me, you ban all stupid children and the problems will go away.
it, we should get the government to sterlize stupid people so they wont give birth to stupid children that piss off pit bulls and then get their asses handed to them by said pit bulls.
I'll vote for it.
When the deadly cottonmouth snake struck out at "her" children, Dixie never hesitated. The dog pushed the children aside, putting her 50-pound body between them and the snake. Dixie saved Frank Humphries, 9, and his 7-year-old twin siblings, Katie and Codi. But the venomous snake inflicted two bites on the face of the 16-month-old dog.
Valerie Humphries of Fayetteville, Ga., -- the children's mother and Dixie's co-owner -- killed the snake with an ax and rushed the dog to veterinarian Francoise Tyler. "Seeing Dixie's unconscious body in the arms of that doctor was one of the worst things I've ever been through," Humphries said. "Dr. Tyler had to keep her for several days, hooked up to intravenous antibiotics."
Then the vet nominated Dixie for the Hero Dog category in a contest sponsored by the Georgia Veterinary Medical Association. Dixie won over 300 nominated dogs and this month is being inducted into the Georgia Animal Hall of Fame.
Just like people, there are good dogs and bad dogs. Don't hate the game, hate the player.
WEELA, THE DOG HERO OF THE YEAR
author: Jacqueline O'Neil
source: The Ultimate American Pit Bull Terrier
Gary Watkins, eleven years old, was absorbed in chasing lizards when Weela, the family Pit Bull, plowed into him with a body slam that sent him sprawling. Gary's mother, Lori, saw the whole incident and remembers being surprised at first, because Weela always played kindly with children. But her surprise quickly turned to horror when she saw a rattlesnake sink its fangs into Weela's face.
Somehow Weela had sensed the snake's presence from across the yard and rushed to push Gary out of strinking range. Luckily for thirty people, twenty-nine dogs, thirteen horses and a cat, Weela recovered from the snake's venom. Luckily, because that's how many lives she saved a few years later. For her heroism, Weela was named Ken-L Ration's Dog Hero of the Year in 1993.
The press release read in part: "In January 1993, heavy rains caused a dam to break miles upstream on the Tijuana River, normally a narrow, three-foot wide river. Weela's rescue efforts began at a ranch that belonged to a friend of her owners, Lori and Daniel Watkins.
Weela and the Watkinses worked for six hours battling heavy rains, strong currents and floating debris to reach the ranch and rescue their friend's twelve dogs. From that experience, the Watkinses recognized Weela's extraordinary ability to sense quicksand, dangerous drop-offs and mud bogs. "She was constantly willing to put herself in dangerous situations," says Lori Watkins. "She always took the lead except to circle back if someone needed help."
'Periodically, over a month's time, sixty-five pound Weela crossed the flooded river to bring food to seventeen dogs and puppies and one cat, all stranded on an island. Each trip she pulled thirty to fifty pounds of dog food that had been loaded into a harnessed backpack. The animals were finally evacuated on Valentine's Day.
On another occasion, Weela led a rescue team to thirteen horses stranded on a large manure pile completely surrounded by floodwaters. The rescue team successfully brought the horses to safe ground. Finally, during one of Weela's trips back from delivering food to stranded animals, she came upon a group of thirty people who were attempting to cross the floodwaters.
Weela, by barking and running back and forth, refused to allow them to cross at that point where the waters ran deep and fast. She then led the group to a shallower crossing upstream, where they safely crossed to the other side."
Stong, gentle intelligent and brave, Weela, CGC,TT, is the ultimate American Pit Bull terrier, epitomizing the best that the breed has to offer. But her story also highlights an important yet often mis- understood fact about the breed. The Pit Bull is a dog that loves to please its owner and tries to become whatever kind of dog its owner desires.
Weela has had two owners. The first owner dumped her in an alley to die when she was less than four weeks old. Her present owner, Lori Watkins, found five starving Pit Bull puppies whimpering in an alley, took them home and raised them. later, the Watkins family placed four of the puppies in loving homes and kept the little female they named Weela. They believed Weela was special, and she proved them right.
Most Pit Bull puppies grow up to become a reflection of both their owners' personality and the care and training they receive. One can only imagine what a different dog Weela would have become if her original owner had raised her, and she had done her best to please him. {HOME}

Just because people pervert and corrupt the dog's natural gifts is no reason to ban the dog...I'd say ban the people that do it...or at least throw them in jail...not sign them your hoop team them because we need a long SF, Qyntel.
Dog fighting is already illegal but the penalties are not bad enough, I say if you get caught fighting dogs your first time you get 1yr/1,000$ fine; 2nd time you get 3yrs/$3,000 dollar fine; 3rd time 5yrs/$5,000 dollar fine.
people kill also
we might as well ban people, too.
I have always wanted a blue pitbull terrier...when i get my own place thats what i will get. But i'm tired of people always blaming these attacks on the dogs. Many of my friends have pitbulls but they are the friendliest and greatest dogs ever.
It's not the dogs that turn that way its the upbringing, the neglect etc. they are just like children. I'm tired of people always blamming these dogs and talking about banning them. People need to look at themselves and take responsibility.
I say we just shoot the pitbulls. That's what I would do.
Lets ban these dogs too..............
