Bob, I refuse to argue with you about "these threads." If you find them frustrating then do not participate in them. It's as simple as that.
And I am not going to argue with you about it either, and I will continue to do what I feel is right. ;)

What about the people that go into a thread where a death or maiming is reported, such as this one, and posting that it must have been something the victim did ( often a small child) that caused the trajedy. Is that OK, as far as you are concerned?

most children who get attacked do actully do something i know that a shock :rolleyes: like when my sister was watching my great and her child almost got bit she went up to a sleeping dog and tried to pet him. that is a irresponsible person not dog. the dog in taht case is not used to being touched when he is asleep therefore she shouldnt have let the child alone with the dog. kids at that age dont usually know how to act around a dog so they should not be left alone with one. I wasnt left alone withmy own dog when i was 5 and he was mine. Even though i knew my stuff it is not safe or right kids dont always if ever think before they act. I have a feeling if you left smokey alone with a kid and the kid ticked her off she owuld do something it is a dogs nature to protect its self.

Well they are sure going to make an example and punish the owner. The girl is dead, and the most the owner gets is 6 months in jail.....:mad:

That sure makes a statement about the theory that punishing the owners will solve the problem....
All it says is that they don't punish the guilty with enough time :(

Nice try to lynch the innocent! Come on boys, grab your torches and pitch forks will get that monster :rolleyes:

Don't be silly. This is a discussion forum. It's inappropriate to tell someone to to butt out simply because you think their opinions will somehow harm your argument. Hint: if the mere existence of a differing opinion will harm your cause, your cause is pretty lame.

no but if he can pose his arguement respectfully it would be a great addition but i dont see the respect all i see is him telling us its all the dogs fault and frankly if you are goign to post in a thread i think it should be useful ot jsut its the dogs fault and they all should be killed.

I think that making non-sensical statements like these, as an excuse for what happened, deserves some sort of response challenging them, That is why I post in these threads.
Non-sensical...are you serious? Your desire to wipe out thousands and thousands of great dogs just because a very very very few attack each year is the poster child statement of illogical!

All the abuse that the pit bull goes through every year (watch Animal Planet?)
it is truely amazing they don't kill more often.

I would love to know your demographics so I could examine some of the stereotypes that would apply to you! Are you German by chance? Related to anyone in the Klan? You live in the south so you must be...... See what I mean? Stereotypes suck...are some Germans Nazi lovers sure, are the vast majority wonderful people...yep.

The stereotype makes it easier for the human mind to line up and label everything in their life but a lot of wonderful beings can pay a hefty price for your mental short cuts.

I find that people have opinions on things even if they do not have any personal experience regardng the topic. This leads to a misconstrued.. well, everything.

The media sensationalizing pit bulls and the like is NOT experierence, nor knowledge of the breed.

It takes an open mind to be educated and it's painfully obvious that not all minds are open when it comes to "pit bull terrier type dogs."

I have 3 of the nicest chihuahuas that you would ever meet. Would I leave them alone with a child? No. I would not leave any dog alone with a child. If my dog were to attack a child, it would be my fault for putting them both in that situation. It doesn't matter if that dog is a chihuahua, a golden retriever, or a pitbull. Being a responsible owner means not putting your dog in a situation like this. I've seen some of the sweetest dogs provoked... and they will show teeth, growl, and lunge.

I can't imagine ever blaming an entire breed... I've truthfully never met a mean pitbull. Pitbulls are not a naturally aggressive breed... the want and need to kill is not inbreed into them. Irresponsible ownership is the problem.

Oh, here we go again. Out comes the blame game, it was such a sweet dog until it snapped and killed somebody, demonize the victim by blaming on them, Pit Bull defence.. The same Mantra, over and over , again...... God, I get sick of hearing this garbage..:mad: :mad: What crud.....
Yes, it's SO TERRIBLE when SOMEONE stands up for what is right isn't it?

God help you if Smokey were to attack someone.
BUT OH WAIT!!! It's not in the breed description, right? Because she's a mix that no one can identify? So it will NEVER HAPPEN.

YOU NEED to understand that blame is NOT to one being. Dogs DO NOT just attack because they feel like being carefree. There are ALWAYS reasons, whether they are overlooked (which is usually the case) or not.

You are close-minded, and it seems I'm not the only one who sees that on this board. Maybe you need to get out of your "all dogs are perfect but pit bulls" bubble, and into the real world. That mentality doesn't work. But you turn your head to FACTS every single time.
I've given up on any form of communicating the truth to you, because you don't care. As long as YOU feel right about something, it's as is.





This case is not extensive by any means. The owner broke the law before, the dog was never taken from him when he was caught. What does that tell you? They must not care over there very much.
And this says NOTHING about human and dog aggression being the same thing. The two have not been linked. You are assuming way too much on that one. You might want to do a lot of reading on those two subjects.

.. if it's not a known breed or is a mix.... it's labeled a pit bull. This is how they got their bad rep. usually the only publically viewed cases with an image is the pit bull. Sad, but true.

Anytime a dog attacks and kills a person the dog is at fault, the breed does not matter. There isn't any reason a dog should kill a person, especially a child. It doesn't matter what the child did the dog was at fault for killing the child.
