North Carolina ban to Kill Numerous Breeds

[deerman]

ok going to make one more post.

My point about pit being the main breed for human death.

Call it what the dog fighter call it "GAME "thats why a pit attacks are hard to stop, without killing the dog.

I never said pits were more like to attack over any other breed, heck may not be in the top 10.

Once one does attack...very very very hard to stop.

I know the breed to well , even knew a guy that raised them for the pit...he did get caught fighting them.

So yes people i know most are not people aggressive.

The truth lot of pits are still raised for the pit, Dog fights still going on in this country, Lady was just busted not far from here last month.

Oh the info on the dog being pit in these attacks that kill......over half its from the owners. who tell its a pit. So all you who want to find any reason that 30 years of pits being proved the top breed for human killed by dogs. Look for another way to prove this info false.


If I saw a dog attacking someone , i would try to stop it...if its a pit attacking i would shoot the dog.

Again, last time anyone should have to point this out, if they outnumber all of the other dogs, then you should only expect there to be more bites and deaths. If it's suspected that they outnumber labs - yes, labs, - 5:1 as someone else suggested based on the thoughts of experts, then there are more "pitts" (which again, encompass several different breeds) than the others on the list. I seriously doubt most deaths/bites reported are actually pits as any "stocky" mixed up dog is automatically a "pit bull".

And it shouldn't matter what breed was attacking a person, the dog should be shot... unless that dog is being commanded by a police officer.

You know what, my local shelter is always full of pits, temperament tested by experts, and deemed adoptable. Many of these are rejects dumped from illicit breeding programs. Your assessment of the Pit temperament ("most are now people aggressive") is not consistent with the mass quantities of adoptable pits in shelters in So. Cal. Sadly, there are so many of them (and people are scared of their reputation) so most of these adoptable dogs of good temperament are never adopted and put down.

AS far as out number add all the labs, and all other large breeds sure all will out number the pits except in the number that kill

so you can have ratio of 1 pit to 5 large breeds....guess what pits still kill more...your number game doesn't work

I could stop most dog attacks, without shooting the dog....but wouldn't think of trying to stop a pit ,Why because i KNOW most have the "GAME" Blood.

Actually, anhone who owns a dog, any breed, should know how to stop a dog fight or attack. I don't own pits, but I do own a break stick and I know how to use it. Why? Because I own large breed that is known for not only dog aggression (same sex) but human aggressive as well.

The problem still is the owners who don't care or can't be bothered to know how to handle their dogs, whether they are pits or german shepherds or labs.

Again, the numbers prove that pits aren't any more likely to kill than any other large breed of dog. Broken down by population, the fatality rate is identical.

If 6 red cars and 2 white cars drive by and 3 red cars and 1 wh ite car get pulled over for speeding, dows that mean red cars go faster than white cars?

Deerman, there are many more pits than most other breeds. That's why there are so many in the shelters. You're really reaching here. It's simple math. More dogs in a breed, so you will see more bites. Just like when the next fad dog hits...they will be the issue. Gee, I wonder why no one was scared of amstaffs prior to the gangster rap boom of the mid 90s...oh that's right, cause they weren't famous dogs being over bred and a symbol of power. This thread is just silly.


Edit: game blood means willingness to perform. Or work. Not fight.

Then by that idea German Shepherds should be banned as well. Their bite fatality ratio is identical to pits.

It would take all of the top breeds of dogs to equal in numbers to pit bulls. The numbers don't lie. You are no more likely to be killed by a pit than by a german shepherd.

lets put it this way, some have failed to realize
are labs capable of killing?, yes

are rots capable of killing?, yes

are huskies capable of killing?, yes (we've all heard stories of huskies being ok for years and then suddenly going nuts and killing every small critter on the property, I myself once witnessed this)

are dobermans capable of killing?, yes

are st. bernards capable of killing?, yes

mastiffs, GSD, chows? yes, yes yes!

point being, this. EVERY single large breed dog is CAPABLE of killing an adult human, would they? more then likely not, can they?, YES.

especially if you are clueless and flail around yelling git it off git it off!, large dogs who are not properly socialized, beaten, abused ect. have the capability to KILL you.

face it, humans are weak, with our lack of claws, squishy flesh and thin noodle arms, if any of those breeds WANTED to hurt us, they could, NOT just the pit.
