Two 8-month-old pit bulls that were loose in Nanaimo attacked several children, severely injuring at least one. Other people that came to aid the children were also injured.

The children were playing in a yard at the house of one of their friends. The dogs were from somewhere else in the neighborhood and had been cited for being at large previously.

One of the owners of the dogs came and got the dogs but did not stick around. The news interviewed the other owner, a Dangerhair that looked to be in her late 40s or early 50s. While she was devastated at what her dogs had done, she said to the reporter, "People are saying, look at this from the prospective of a parent, well, these dogs are my kids, too," and then she broke down crying.

It was later reported both dogs were euthanized, as there have been other incidents prior to this one, and due to the severity of the injuries the one particular child sustained.

To the dangerhair dog owner I would have to say, "If these dogs were your KIDS, you did a lousy job of raising them. Thank heavens you didn't spawn any of your own."

Legit 10/10 post tbh. Although the funniest part is the actual pittard taking it at face value.

It was supposed to be taken at face value, it's true. Have you really never seen pitbulls interact with people outside of your outrage-porn dog attack videos? They're dumb as nails but extremely loving and affectionate dogs, with none of the reserve or aloofness you usually see in breeds used for bite work. This is why so many owners get complacent with them and think their pit doesn't need any special training because he's so friendly and gentle-natured.

No, they are very strong and tend to be one person, maybe one family dogs, and are fiercely territorial. They were bred as guard dogs. They need intense socialization from puppyhood as well as training or they can become very dangerous to any person or animal outside of what they consider theirs.

My aunt did rescue for them and they're a common owner turn in because people think "oh, a big shiba inu, how cute!" And don't do the necessary work with them.

Great advice. 100% agree.

The other day I was taking my dog for a walk down my rural road. As I walked past someone’s driveway, a pit mix came running out while barking. I put my hand up and yelled “STOP” while facing her and moving slowly away at the same time. She stopped completely. My dog just looked around like “what the hell?”. I backed away and there was no incident.

I know most people in this thread hate pits, but it’s just sad. They can be very loyal and sweet, but they are also not for first-time dog owners. You need to know what you are doing, And I don’t mean “oh but I bought him the finest bedding and toys at PetSmart”.

For those of you who think dog fighting isn’t a big deal, I challenge you to watch the documentary “Off The Chain” all the way through. The phrase “off the chain” refers to the first time a dog is put in a ring to fight. I felt sick to my stomach after watching it, but please feel free to tell me what you think after watching that.

I don't think anyone thinks dog fighting isn't a big deal, but it is not as common in the US as it once was so people don't think about it.

From my understanding it's still "out in the open" in most South American countries though, and they also fight chickens and horses.

I don't hate the actual dogs. They had no choice about being bred that way. I do think we should quit breeding them, though. There is absolutely no reason for a breed to exist with these traits.

I agree. Unfortunately, too many people have them, don’t get them neutered/spayed, or just out right breed them for profit. I loathe back yard breeders. The dogs usually fall on rescue groups and we are limited in what we can do. The worst I ever encountered was a 10-month-old puppy who was human and dog aggressive. He had to be euthanized. It broke my fucking heart. There was just nothing else to be done.

I’ve since gotten out of rescue because of sheer burnout. I did adopt a pit mix recently, but he loves other dogs and is a total goof ball. I still hold out hope that people will be responsible (with any breed), but there are always stupid morons and that’s not going to change.

While it is true that Akitas, Australian Cattle Dogs (why would a dog meant for cattle apparently slaughter cattle?), Cane Corsos, can be dangerous they are not as immediate of a threat to the average North American because they are far less common than the pit bull.

Backyard breeding is general a menace to society, but the pomapoos, yorkiepoos, etc. that result from intentional and unintentional backyard breedings will find homes, as someone will either pay the few hundred they go for or they'll go within the week at the shelter. My family's second dog (long ago) was a Tibetan spaniel who was dropped off with its siblings at the shelter after their breeder (don't think backyard though) died and the family didn't sell them. All siblings were adopted out within days.

Pit bulls, however, are more or less bred to go to shelters.

I work in the 'hood and from time to time I'll see a stray Pitbull in the alley next to the shop. Sometimes I'll make sure not to look it in the eye and carefully walk away slowly if it's far away. If I'm close to one I stand still and avoid looking at it, trying to act like I'm not even a living being hoping it'll lose interest in me.

I haven't seen pitts in years ... lo and behold, I found out today that one of my neighbours has one. I walked by it's house and just looked his way and Jesus was he mad at me lol. Just me looking his way made him furious.

Akitas are fluffy, fun, cute FIGHTING DOGS. Many of the issues that shitbulls have affect also other fighting dog breeds. They also weigh twice as much as a shitbull [or at least compared to a regular within-type one, with the latest trends of breeding the biggest pitbulls possible - who knows].

Akitas are pretty large and powerful, and fairly naturally aggressive, but the biggest issue is that they're extremely dominant and notoriously difficult to control, and for a time in around the late 90s and early 2000s they were considered extremely fashionable by drug dealers and gang members as an attack dog. They're much riskier dogs to own than pitbulls, and nobody should consider getting one unless they're experienced with dangerous and difficult dogs.

Yes and no - Akitas can one day pop off and start killing animals, but the chance of them attacking humans is lower. It's still there tho, and I agree that nobody without significant experience shouldn't handle any dog that has 'fighting' anywhere in the race description or history.

Reposting from the "RIP" thread -- us "loving" DMX is extremely hypocritical. Much of the degenerate culture of gangsta blacks were inspired/reinforced by him (he didn't invent them, "ebil society made me like dis", but he sure as hell reinforced it). We can talk about race and cultural aspects, but I want to focus on one thing many of the posters here have strong feelings about. Pit bulls (pibbles, baby-eaters). He was part of the ilk who made pibbles "popular" and now we have murder dogs everywhere in US society.

I know kiwis like his music because of nostalgia and that he had the "lol fag" attitude, but every time he showed and barked like, he reinforced this nasty gangsta dog culture. Why? Is it just because "his music is cool, lol". Perhaps, but it makes me sad nonetheless.

What is it with white celebrates now getting these murder dogs, is it some kind of virtue signaling

Australian Cattle Dogs (why would a dog meant for cattle apparently slaughter cattle?)

They were bred for herding work under supervision, and they're extremely good at it, but were never intended to be used as flock guardians. Ranchers found out at great expense that when they're left to their own devices and bored they'll occasionally self-entertain by silently and methodically killing an entire herd of large animals for fun. It mostly got fixed when Dalmatians were introduced into the line. Mostly.

I am in principle also against murder, rape and cannibalism but I'll listen to Big Lurch's Texas Boy when I want to.

I like a lot of Polanski's films and he's an utterly vile monster as a person. Meanwhile DMX had a bad taste in dog breeds. I can live with that a lot more than what Polanski did.

At time this thread is a microcosm of Kiwi Farms as whole.

A lot of posters don't hate the pits (cows) but rather what allowed them to be in a position where the world has to deal with them. Reasonably concise insights are offered into how the pit came to be, approaches to deal with them, critique of their enablers which tends to be more disdainful of those than the pit itself and compassion towards blameless victims caught in the pit's wake.

That said I wish we had far more videos of the various cows being kicked by mules and horses.

Pitbull owners hold a loyalty fiercer than most women do their significant others, is it a case of projection or do they actually fuck their dogs? Neither would surprise me.

I'd chalk it up to a "me against the world/society" thing where they can cast themselves and their pibbles in the role of the persecuted, beset on all sides by enemies and naysayers.
