You know most serial killers are white men, I Hope you never friend a white male since they can potentially be dangerous. (How stupid did that sound?)

What % of white men are serial killers? 0.000001%

Source for this statistic?

And what percent of pitbulls are murdering humans? I'll need a source for that one too.

I only used tigers because it was one of the most famous examples of animal attacks. Replace tigers with social animals like lions, wolves, or chimpanzees then. Even in those cases the attacks are usually in the minority in zoo, circus, and pet situations. That said, you're still playing with fire. A pitbull is not as dangerous as those animals as its domesticated and not wild, but it's still more dangerous than most breeds.

I've met nice pitbulls and I can understand if you're put in a situation where you either adopt one or it gets put to sleep, but if you go out looking specifically to get a pitbull, I just think it's foolish.

I’ll never forget when an old roommates pit absolutely snapped on another dog (Huskey) the dogs were friends would see each other often and one day we we’re chilling watching a football game in the living room, the huskey is walking past the pit for some water or something and the pit absolutely snapped and I saw death in his eyes. Srs. My roommate grabbed his pit in the nick of time and he just laughed it off and put him in the back yard for a little. Would of killed the huskey no doubt in my mind if my old roommate didn’t grab the pit

LMAO

This thread still going. Never change misc.

A couple years ago one of my buddies pit/lab snapped on my 12yr old pit. Everything was cool before that. I did know the other dog was not raised properly but seemed cool. I also know even though my pit was not aggressive, he was dominant, and insecure dogs (not raised properly) don't like that. There are always contributing factors that we didn't know about and body language we didn't notice.

Having said that, if two labs fought, no one would make a big deal about it.

I wouldn’t have a dog anywhere near my baby... not even a chihuhua

^yup. pretty retarded this thread is multiple pages and still 1rd page

Bro what I find absolutely retarded is that literally as you said people only go “ wild” if a pitbull is mentioned in a dog attack. I’ve read a few local articles over the past few years of random dog attacks.
If a lab attacks a smaller dog , what do you see as a headline ?
“ dog attacks smaller dog causes death” or if a husky attacks a poodle what’s the headline ? “Big dog attacks a dog while being walked”.. the most recent dog attack on my local news was a boxer who got loose from a house and locked on to a small mix breed dog. It was all over the news because the woman couldn’t control the boxer. Only for a few bystanders who came out with shovels the boxer would have killed that tiny dog. Guess what the headline was ?? “ dog gets loose and attacks small dog”

If a pitbull breed attacks any dog it’s always “ pitbull rips apart small dog and nearly kills it” or “ pitbull attacks big dog “ etc.

The media is the most biased ****ing ****. The dull brains always believe the hype then. I find humans are a race always want to hate things. Hate because color , country ,religion , breed, etc.
I stay open minded because to this day ( being a owner of pitties) I have not had my dogs attack anything other then toys I buy them. I have however met several dogs of all types that would growl or try to attack my dogs as we walk by. But I will never stump to the level that people here on this forums get on with. You can post as much bull**** statistics that you want. It still don’t change the fact that you are classifying dogs based on a breed, no different then classifying people from areas that they come from or race or whatever. We all know in the states pitties are overbred ,abused and generally attracted by hard knocks which is why you see more negative cases than there should be.

Agreed ^^

As stupid as leaving your tiny child around a dangerous animal unguarded. I wouldn't even let my child do that with a yorkie

I said I wasn't looking for a pit specifically, I never said I didn't know anything about them. I really wanted a boxer originally, as my gf at the time had one and I loved it. I've had plenty of experience with pits prior to that and they've all been positive.

I assume you are all going on about American pitbull terriers, which are banned here in the UK. We have these tiny little Staffordshire bull terriers over here and they are lovely dogs.

I've got a lab that's a right nobhead. people bring their little kids around and he just knocks them over constantly, whilst I'm confident he would never bite he could do some serious damage to a child with his excitable jumping around.


Need to be careful with kids around all dogs imo.

You know, I'm good. Got a Jack Russell and he's 23lbs....I'll stick with my small breeds.

No hate, just not for me.

lol if your dog can't fight off a coyote.

____ of peace

It's click bait. People want a narrative and the media obliges by creating one.

I wish more people thought through the process of getting a dog. I rage when I see people gifting dogs. That's a lifestyle decision that requires discussion. People should know what is and isn't for them when it comes to having a dog.

I love my pit bulls. I consider their traits to be GOAT in a dog. Their ability to bond with humans is unique to its breed. No other breed comes to close to human intuition as pit bulls.

That being said, they should be in homes of a select few. They are not for the majority of households. You can include Huskies on this list too.
