Because people are hypocrites.

Ridiculous.

Because people are hypocrites.

 

How so? Guns don't kill people, the people behind the gun is who is responsible for that.. Dog's on the other hand.. Some of them are killing their owners, neighbors, children etc without their owners telling them to. I own several guns, yet I've never had one attempt to shoot me once, but I have had a pit attempt to bite me for no reason.

I can't believe the number of people who defend this animal. It's a wiring problem with this particular species. Not the owners or anything else.

I defend them because 99.9% of them never harm a soul.

Dogs are a reflection of their owners ability or inability to properly care for, train, and prevent. Sound familiar...

Ridiculous.

How so? There have been more deaths from semi automatic weapons this year than Pit Bull attacks. But the deaths from each category could have been prevented had the owner been competent and understood the duties of owning said weapon/ dog. I'm not in favor of outlawing either. I just want to control who can own each.

The pit my friend had was well cared for as well as trained. His demeanor changed within a couple of weeks, even though his care and such did not. How do you explain that? The vet gave a possible explanation, so I'm curious what your's is..

 

To be honest it was a beautiful dog that was loved by it's owner and the dog itself loved people in general, even strangers. Something happened with that dog in a short period of time though and it had to be put down. So how does that happen if the owners didn't neglect it nor did anyone pose a threat to it to cause it to attack?

This isn’t a gun thread. Guns aren’t at issue here. This breed of dog is. Guns are for another thread. The instinctive violence of this dog is the point of this thread. I feel it is every bit as much nature as nurture with them.

Because it's a stupid comparison. Again is a gun going to come into my yard and attack me?

So what you're describing could literally happen to any dog.

No and neither is a pit bull with a competent owner. Are the strange circumstances that one dog could go crazy and kill somebody yes. Just like their are crazy circumstances where a crazy person could grab a gun and go kill someone. I'm not a fan of anyone trying to ban something for the sole purpose of keeping it away from crazy people.

Well except the fact that the vet said it's a known issue with pits (she didn't mention any other breed) which are stronger and as well have stronger jaw strength than most dogs. If the same thing happened to most other breeds, I doubt it would be capable of killing adults.

It's a valid comparison to prove a point that people are hypocritical.

Well except the fact that the vet said it's a known issue with pits (she didn't mention any other breed) which are stronger and as well have stronger jaw strength than most dogs. If the same thing happened to a small dog, I doubt it would be capable of killing adults.

Going crazy isn't exclusive to Pits no matter how much you want to believe it is.

Trust me, I loved that dog, but was also able to recognize that there was a serious issue with it, I'm not singling pits out at all. However it does seem to be more common with them and even the vet that my friend took Cam to said the same thing. I'm going off from first hand experience with the dog as well as what the vet said, you seem to just be spitballing.
