I agree, and I was badly mauled by a dog when I was 15. We'vew been through the same thing with German Shepherds, Rotweillers and others. It's the people who train theose dogs to be mean who are the monsters.
Jon My hands and my mothers poodle was badly mauled by a german shepard when I was a kid..He had an owner who would hold him by the collar and tell him to KILL as this animal went berserk to follow his command! That was the result when this dog leaped over the fence an attacked our dog..He was doing something that his owner was training him to do since a small pup...Not his fault...Once again the Owner was to blame...
Beautiful. An aggressive dog would've eaten those chicks as appetizers. When I found out that the stray I had taken in was part Rottweiler, I said that maybe he needed to be put to sleep. The vet said, "You can't blame the dog for what the people do to the breed." Great advice. My 65 lb'er is non-aggressive with others, and sits patiently while the cat eats out of HIS bowl.
Pit bull and pit mixes account for 21 percent of all human fatalities, while mixed breed dogs account for 16 percent and other nonspecified breeds, 15 percent. Delise's study demonstrates that the breed of dog should not be the sole factor by which an attack is judged. Other factors include inherited and learned behaviors, my quote (pit bulls natural tendencie to go for face and throat make them especially wonderful killing machines) genetics, breeding, temperament, surgical sterilization, environmental stresses, owner responsibility, victim behavior, size and age, timing, and the physical condition and the size of dog.
louisiana spca stats are they prejudiced too? I dont think so.
staggering diffrence in amount of attacks by pit bulls.
A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studied 436 known fatal dog attacks 1965-2001 and found pit bulls killed more often than other breeds.
Pit bulls: 90
Mixed breed: 71
Rottweiler: 54
German shepherd: 40
Siberian husky: 21

Please dont call me prejudiced I just feel when it comes to these devil dogs its better to err on the side of safety and a kids future
It is important to draw attention to the studies because of lobbying efforts by a segment of the population that stubbornly continues to insist that no breed of dog is inherently dangerous, even in the face of apparently overwhelming contrary evidence. A report by Animal People found that, of 264 canine homicides from 1982 to 2006 in the USA and Canada, a total of 65% of the deaths were caused by pit bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes. (Merritt Clifton, Dog Attack Deaths and Maimings, US and Canada, September 1982 to November 13, 2006, click here to download.) An older study published in the Journal of Pediatrics reported 109 fatalities from 1989 to 1994 in the US, with 37% inflicted by pit bulls and Rottweilers. (Sacks JJ, Lockwood R, Hornreich J, Sattin RW. Fatal dog attacks, 1989-1994. Pediatrics 1996; 97:891-5.) These studies establish that pit bulls and Rottweilers clearly are dangerous if judged by the damage that they inflict when they attack people.
Do you know how many pitbulls and mixed breeds there are now a days and do you even know how many are mistaken for pitbull breeds when actually their not...
Real "lamb and lion lying down in peace" feel to this. I am sorry to say that I was waiting to see him eat one of the chicks any moment. Guess I have to remember that there are exceptions to every rule.
Yes the second link you posted a person needs to scroll down to the replys and read some..You sir are on a ban wagon of media urban myths..You need to do more research then that...I have videos that depict what people like you do to this breed...Do tell me sir..Who is the killing machine...Im thinking your on that ban wagon too just by reading your words and false information...
People like you who are so misinformed and have never been even in a room with this breed is whats causing these animals to be tortured and set on fire...
Personally you make me sick!
Go look at some of my videos posted on this thread..Im sure it will turn you on ...Oh and I have a few numbers on there too..
When it comes to pit bulls, there's no shortage of myths and misinformation. You can hear those myths spouted by the media, legislators, the general public, and even so-called "experts" on the breed. Here are some of the more common ones.
Pit bulls have locking jaws. They can't let go even if they want to.
Once they bite down, a pit bull will not let go. You can't even pry its jaws apart if you kill it.
Pit bulls are genetically bred to kill people.
Pit bulls are not good for anything except dogfighting.
Pit bulls are very aggressive.
Pit bulls can not be trained or controlled.
Pit bulls are unpredictable; they can turn on anyone, even their owner, at any time.
Pit bulls do not feel pain.
If a pit bull bites down and tastes blood, they will become aggressive and unstoppable.
Pit bulls have jaw muscles that can clamp down with (insert high number here) PSI of pressure.
Pit bulls with certain nose or coat colors are "rare".
Pit bulls are only owned by drug dealers and gang members.
Pit bulls do NOT have locking jaws. No dog of any breed has ever been found to possess a mechanism in their jaw which would allow them to "lock" their top and bottom jaw together. There is no such thing as a locking jaw!
Pit bulls WILL let go after they have bitten down. Dogs bite for many reasons. The enormous majority of dog bites (from any breed) are nothing more than a nip or snap - a warning. Some dogs clamp down hard on prey objects - hence the popularity of tug toys, stuffed animals, and rope toys. Similarly, pit bulls were once bred and taught to cling to a bull's nose despite thrashing, tossing, and gouging. They love to hold on to things! But they are also extremely obedient. A properly raised pit bull will yield to his owner's command.
Pit bulls are NOT genetically bred to kill people! From the very beginning, pit bulls have been bred to be as human-friendly as possible. It would not make any sense for bull baiters or dog fighters to own a human-aggressive dog! Even these inhumane individuals have to handle their dogs, often in the heat of a fight. Responsible dog breeders understand that dogs are for companionship and love, not for illicit activities like dogfighting and attacking people! Responsible pit bulldog breeders understand the wonderful qualities that pit bulls have. They are interested in breeding quality dogs with excellent temperaments.
Pit bulls are good for plenty of things besides dogfighting. Pit bulls have excelled in many working-dog sports such as agility, search-and-rescue, tracking, weight pulling, carting, Shutzhund, hunting, obedience, therapy, and more! They also very loving, loyal, gentle, and attentive, making them ideal pet dogs.
Pit bulls are NOT always aggressive. It is the OWNER that ultimately decides how his or her dog will act in certain situations. Pit bulls are naturally very friendly towards strangers, but they will become aggressive if their owner teaches them or forces them to be that way.
Pit bulls CAN be trained and controlled. The pit bulldog is a highly trainable breed. They are intelligent, obedient dogs. They love to please their owner. They are very pack-oriented and do very well under strong, fair leadership. When properly trained and socialized from a young age, the pet pit bull will accept their owner's control without challenge or question.
Pit bulls are just as predictable as any other dog. Most people who say that a dog is "unpredictable" simply don't understand dogs. They believe the stories of people who were "just petting the dog, and suddenly it went crazy and bit me!" In the overwhelming majority of these cases, the victim simply doesn't understand or has missed canine warning signs. For more information on dog behavior and aggression, I recommend "The Culture Clash" by Jean Donaldson.
Truly "unpredictable" dogs are very rare. Some of these dogs have a mental disorder or disease that causes their unpredictable behavior.
Pit bulls can feel pain. They are not superdogs. They are just like any other dog.
The taste of blood has nothing to do with a dog's behavior. Imagine you're a person that doesn't know anything about dogs, so you fail to notice that your dog is displaying subtle warning signs of impending aggression. One day, the dog has finally had enough, and bites you. The bite successfully gets you to back off. Next time the dog feels threatened, he bites again. It worked the first time, after all. Subsequent bites have nothing to do with the "taste of blood". In reality, the dog is simply employing a proven successful strategy for dealing with things that are scary or threatening.
There is no accurate way to determine the pressure of a dog's bite. Although there have been studies to attempt to answer this question, the PSI (pounds per square inch) tends to vary greatly depending on who you talk to. In many cases the number seems to have been completely made up, or pulled from a source (i.e. newspaper) that has invented some ridiculously high number. I have heard: 1000 PSI, 1800 PSI, 2000 PSI, and "10 times the strength of Rottweiler jaws". None of this is based in reality.
In real life a dog's bite strength is determined by a wide variety of factors. While these include the dog's size and individual jaw strength, the severity of a bite is primarily determined by the dog's intent (i.e. aggression, fear, warning snap, playful nip), the victim's behavior (twisting or yanking the body part being bitten can increase the damage), the dog's training, and so on. Scientific experiments indicate that trained bite dogs (of a variety of breeds) can bite at a little over 300 PSI maximum.
Interestingly, recent attempts to measure a dog's jaw strength have indicated that pit bulls have much lower bite pressure than some other breeds, putting lie to the idea that pit bulls have more bite power than any other breed. For more details, check out http://www.understand-a-bull.com/PitbullInformation/Urbanlegends.htm
There are NO "rare" pit bull coat or nose colors. Historically, pit bulls have been bred for performance and temperament, not appearance. This means that pit bulls come in all different colors, shapes, and sizes. "Blue" coats (which are really just diluted black or grey coats) are in fact a fad color right now, and greedy breeders are churning out "blue" dogs to make money off the fad, without concern for temperament or health. Similarly, "red nosed" pit bulls are very common. White pit bulls are often deaf. For more details about "rare" pit bulls, visit: http://www.realpitbull.com/myths.html (bottom of page)
Potential pit bull owners who are looking to obtain a pit bull would be wise to steer clear of breeders who are breeding specifically for certain colors. Such breeders are in it for the money and could care less about the health or temperament of their dogs. Heck, why not adopt a pit bull rather than support backyard breeders and puppy mills? You can find purebred pit bulls of all colors waiting desperately for a home in shelters and rescue groups across the country.
No scientific studies have determined the actual pit bull population in the U.S. Random percentages seem to come out of thin air and are frequently bounced around in media reports without any legitimate source to back up such an assertion. I have heard population estimates ranging from 1% to 8% or more. Still more problematic is the disagreement as to what a "pit bull" really is - and whether "pit mixes" should be included. Pit bulls are undeniably a very popular and prolific breed-type. Some places, such as Oakland, CA, report that more "pit bulls" are registered with the city than any other breed. A few studies estimate that U.S. shelter "pit bull" populations reach 33% on average, and up to 50% or more in larger cities. The prevalence of pit bulls in shelters indicates not only an overpopulation problem, but also that a significant number of pit bulls are owned by irresponsible owners and breeders when compared to other breeds and breed-types. Unfortunately, however, without a very thorough and careful demographic study of "pit bulls" and their owners - something which has yet to be accomplished on a nationwide scale and may very well prove impossible - any pit bull population estimate is little more than a vague guessing game.
