maybe he means that they've been bred (at one time or another) for attacking people rather than other dogs (i haven't read the article)?R00k wrote:He makes the deduction that pit bulls are a victim of generalization, but Rottweilers and German Shepherds are for some reason "human-aggressive" dogs. That isn't supported by anything in the article as far as I can tell.
glad your dog's okay. hope your friend's going to go through the time/effort needed to sort his out

some pikey with a couple of pitbulls once told me that the best way to unlock them from something is to punch them really hard in the arsehole - but he had some big scars on his face, so that's potentially not great advice.

Sounds horrible.Doombrain wrote:innit. and NOONE NO MATTER HOW WELL THEY THINK THEY KNOW the dog YOU CAN'T TRUST THEM!
So what's the fucking point?? My missus had a fucking rotty. She said it was soft as anything, until the day it got out and nearly killed a young girl on a bike.
I'm of the view that only a narrow section of society is willing and/or capable of owning such dogs, keeping them reliably subdued and maintained. Perhaps that's overly restrictive, but it's shaped out of an excess of precaution.
I still think that stats should speak with authority in this area and not moral panic, though.

It has nothing to do with keeping them subdued, it has to do with proper training and socialization. The stats do speak for themselves, and more people get bitten by Chows and Dalmations every year than by Rotties or Pits. But, the media love to stir shit and get ratings, so every time something with one of the "vicious breeds" happens it's all over the news.Massive Quasars wrote:Sounds horrible.Doombrain wrote:innit. and NOONE NO MATTER HOW WELL THEY THINK THEY KNOW the dog YOU CAN'T TRUST THEM!

No, it was the "kill one if you had a chance" comment.Doombrain wrote:why? because i don't trust a dog that through breading was meant to kill? because i don't that kind of fucking thing running around my street? because some fucking prick skin head thinks he that little bit harder with a hunting dog?

Only a fool trusts a dog of ANY breed completely. Yeah, Pits and Rotties are popular among the kind of people that shouldn't own them and that's bad for the breeds. But if you read the guidelines for the breed standard, any sign of aggression is HIGHLY negative. Don't malign the breed, place the blame on the shithead owners that breed intentionally for aggressive tendencies because they have small cocks.
yeah, matbe that was a little strong. put it this way. if one as so much as looked funny as some i care about i'd snap it's fucking neck then go for a few pints and a pizza.Nightshade wrote:No, it was the "kill one if you had a chance" comment.Doombrain wrote:why? because i don't trust a dog that through breading was meant to kill? because i don't that kind of fucking thing running around my street? because some fucking prick skin head thinks he that little bit harder with a hunting dog?

Why would anyone want a pitbull when they're so fucking ugly? I mean, check out me and my gorgeous Mr. Schnoodlebum at the show last weekend.

God... I hate poodles. And chihuahuas.
