You're just further showing that it's the owners that turn their dogs into killers.
I don't get it. I am not criticizing the dogs. I am criticizing the owners mostly.
I've never seen or heard of a department working with a pitbull. Not around here.

Sorry, I'm just used to getting hated on in this thread. I've also criticized the owners, they are the only ones who can be held responsible, given that it is not in a Pit Bulls genes to attack humans.
I had heard of Pits being used in rescue search teams and as therapy dogs, but I had just recently stumbled upon this.
Ummm.........yeah.......................duh??? That is what I've been saying all along. Where have you been?
Yeah, I'm just stating the obvious now.
No harm, no foul. And I shouldn't have been rude to a hottie. My bad.Yeah, I'm just stating the obvious now.
No harm, no foul.
Here's my trained attack poodle and future killing machine...
Of course, that was 5 months ago... he's put on about 40 pounds of muscle since then. (No, not the poodle.)
The problem with pit bulls is that there are too many stupid people out there that own them.
Get rid of the stupid people and you'd solve the problem with killer pits.
I hope you realize there is a distinction between stupid and crazy
I would have killed that dog with my bare hands. I am not kidding.
I should qualify that. Bare-handed I would probably get too ed up, I would have killed that dog with a blunt instrument.
I love dogs. Always have. Story time.
I come from a family of hunters. We all carry pocket knives. We all own guns. My grandpa used to raise dogs when my father was a child (hunting purposes). My grandfather was a drunk, mean prick to the day he died. Putting dogs down was common practice in those days. Dogs lose their taste for blood at some point (the hunt) and become useless in that respect. You either adopt them into retirement, or aim low on their last hunt. Common practice.
When I was young, my family taught you how to disassemble, clean, reassemble, load and shoot firearms the moment you were old enough to pick it up. When it was hunting season (deer, squirrel, rabit, etc), all the children were rounded up and taught the proper mechanics, methods, commands and firearm responsibilities you would employ from the moment you left the house, to your return with the kill.
Im giving you a frame of reference for the next story. My father hated dogs because his father used to make him clean the pens, feed them, etc. Obviously a very ty job.
When I was a child, my friends and I were riding our bikes like any other day thru a large subdivision. There was always this great dane that would go nuts every time ANYTHING came by its space. The "fence" that restricted it was no restriction at all. It was a wood plank fence about 2 ft high, yet the dog never left its yard, no matter how crazy it got.
Well, that was until there was a girl riding with us that day. She was menstruating (confirmed later by her parents when my dad asked, I probably didnt know what that was at the time). We rode by the dog just like an other day, it was going to crazy like any other day, only this time it jumped the fence and was heading full steam for us.
Immediately upon closing the distance, it went for her. We were going pretty fast on our bikes (we accelerated when we seen it jump, but that was very delayed, it was full speed by the time we realized) and it knocked her clean off her bike without breaking stride. It was mauling her on the ground and trying to...well, not something I want to describe.
There 4 of us, 3 guys and her. We obviously turned around to try and get the dog off, which obviously pissed it off a great deal. We were children, not men. This dog was ing insane. My brother grabbed its hips and started pulling, it immediately turned and bit down and started to swing him around like a rag doll. I grabbed my brother and started to pull him away, the dog got disinterested and went back for the girl. The other kid found a very round, very sturdy branch and started to beat the dog as hard as he could, which obviously pissed it off even more. This a great dane, very hardy, very big. Little kid, big branch = not enough damage to discourage its attack.
This whole thing has only been going on for maybe 2 minutes but its obvious there is alot screaming, so it attracts attention. Adults come running out of their houses to help, etc. It two grown men with shovels to fight that dog off her.
The dog finally stopped and ran back to its yard. The girl was in bad shape. Unconscious and covered in blood. Facial lacerations, arms, back, legs...everywhere. One of the women who seen it was a nurse and started to immediately treat her. No offense, I was a little shooken up by the whole experience, so what transpired next is sort of a blur.
I remeber the owner of the dog was a crotchety old er. He was obviously told his dog attacked a little girl. He didnt come out of the house, he was yelling thru the window about how it was her fault, she did something to it, those kids always taunt him, bla bla bla.
The nurse put her in her car and took her to the hospital. We boys went to my house. We told my father about the what happened. He was pissed. He told us to get in the van. We filed in. He drove to the scene, parked his car in the street, reached in glove compartment for his .38 revolver, walked calmly to the back yard of the house where the dog lives, seen the dog barking at the doorwall from inside the house, opened the doorwall, dog leapt out at him into the yard, he manuvered away, aimed, fired, fired again, dog down, walked closer put the gun point blank to its head and fired again.
Dogs owner comes out, looks at my father, looks at the dog, pauses, looks at my father and looks like he says something real animated, my father very clamly responds, owner goes back in the house.
My dad jumps in the truck and we pull away. I knew what was going down as soon as we got in the truck, I ask him what the owner said, he didnt answer. I ask him what he said back. No answer. That was the end of that.
Later I asked him in private what the exchange was. He said the owner was babbling about police, arrest, murder, etc. My father looked him square in the eye and reminded him he still had 3 shots left. The owner went inside. No cops. No arrest. No more dog.
The girl was in the hospital for a week. She had lost alot of blood and needed to be monitored in case she slipped. Lots of s ches, lots of plastic surgery. She came out totally fine and save for a few scars, she looked as normal as she did. Her family and her went to every persons house involved in the incident and thanked them personally for their involvement. I remember her father having tears in his eyes when he talked to my brother (he got some s ches, not big deal really). Her mother made a point to extend her gra ude to my father for his involvement as well and afterword kissed him on his bald head. I think my dad was a little embarassed.

Family and friends of a little girl killed by a pit bull pay their final respects.
The funeral for Amber Jones was Wednesday morning at Mission Park Chapel.
The 10-year-old was killed on Friday by a neighbor's pit bull after being bit on the neck and stomach. That dog remains with animal care services
Pit Bulls aren't worth a kid's life.
There are tons of stories like this that don't make the papers.
Some friends of mine in high school had to kill a stray one that latched onto a neighbor's dog and wouldn't let go.
The pit didn't release his grip until he died. It's amazing how many shovel whacks it takes to kill a pit bull.
I'd never own one. I've known a lot of folks that have them and love them, but they can be nutz.
i've heard from vets if you yank their tail hard they drop whatever they have. of course, that more than likely means they snap at what yanked their tail, but it can still be useful.
lol...never asked you to believe it, just read it, damnit!Great story DR. Even if it's not true.
i've heard that if you scratch an alligators belly he'll fall asleep
i heard if you put your penis in a mouse trap your ed
Still wouldn't be enough. I guarantee a pissed off pit bull could kill you unless you happened to have a gun. But most pits are nice anyway, so you don't have to worry about that.
You know in England they used to have a compe ion between a muzzled bullmastiff and a man armed with a blunt weapon like a pipe. Since the bullmastiff was bred to track down poachers, the object was for the man to get a head start and see if he could escape from the dog by any means necesarry. No one ever claimed the prize money.
I hate to burst your bubble, but unless your superman then I think you are mistaken.

So who won the argument?
Pro-Pit? Anti-Pit?
