Pit Bull Kills 71 Year Old Lady

Pitbulls lead in fatalities as they're strong, have very powerful bites, have very high pain threshholds, and often don't give warning of an attack. Unfortunately the worst kind of trash breeds and trains the dogs to be aggresive, even though they can be very good dogs around people. I had a 70lb pit bull, selected as the last of a litter of 13 hoping that any agrresive dogs had been previously selected. It worked well as he was a worthless guard dog regarding people, friends could walk in the house without knocking and he'd want to be petted, he'd play with neighbor dogs when either got thru the fence, but he displayed attack postures if other dogs ventured into the front yard until the other dog was introduced. A pending attack was subtle as he'd just start drop a bit and start a funny walk towards the dog, no growling, no bared teeth, no hair standing up. I'd pull the leash, introduce him, and all was fine as they'd start playing.
They don't bark much, ours didn't really bark until the ex taught him to, have short hair, and heal very fast so vet bills are very low. They're loyal, are fun to play with, and make good companions. The Little rascal dog was a pit bull. But, some people turn them into a kind of a land mine, and if you set one off you can get hurt very badly. The police end up shooting some on what seems like a regular basis as there is evidently some dog fighting in the area, and a lot of trash like gangs, drug dealers, and such keeping them.

"Potentially aggressive breeds:
* Llasa Apso: can be cranky with kids
* Toy poodles: bite out of self defense
* Dachsunds: not very patient
* Rhodesian Ridgebacks: very dominant breed
* Miniature Pinschers: "big dog" mindset in little body
* Pekinese: intolerant
* Chihuahuas: prefer adults, not tolerant of kids
* Chow Chow: one-person dogs, bite without warning
* Giant Schnauzers: very dominant breed, will even challenge adults
* Old English Sheep Dog: very protective of owner
* Cocker Spaniel: very protective of owner
* Rottweilers: very protective"
Yes, I agree there are many potentially dangerous animals out there. But, I personally haven't heard of anyone mauled to death by a Chihuahua, Pekinese or Toy Poodle.

Give it time. When the Pitbull media blitz is over they will find another breed of dog. Boxers are getting popular again. How much you want to bet they would get on the band wagon?
I plan on getting some dogs in the future and I hope no one trys to kill them, that would be a very bad thing for the person's health if I find out.

My wife was attacked by a 147lb Great Dane. It was a psycho that the neighbours kept for MAGDRL (rescue) until it was placed. It was put to sleep and we had to go to court to force the owner's into responsability. It sucked. I say peole should have insurance for their dogs. 60 year old lady with a poodle, $30/year. 19 year old with 3 pit bulls, $1000/year. Problem solved.
That's worth repeating, so there it is again.
Pure Ignorance again.
Bad dog!
I think the owners of any dog should be charged criminally with any act the dog committs.
Assault, vandalisim, murder, you name it and they should be sent to prison for the acts of the dog if needed.
Good one Milwaukee. Somebody on BITOG with some common sense at last. That's the trouble with common sense, it isn't very common!

As long as they leave border collies, I'm cool with it
whoops! double post
I wouldn't be asinine enough to either name a dog Thor, Skull, Hitler, Fang or anything similar, and if you were to poison an animal of mine with Zerex or anything else( because you decide it's "mean"), and I found out, I wouldn't be merely attempting to fix your clock, it would be well fixed in a short time.
About a dozen people are killed by dogs a year. More probably die from getting stung by bees or struck by lightning.
Alright, MarkC, can you stop threatening us yet over some hypothetical bad dog situation?
Bees and lightning are natural. Psycho owners and their dogs are unnatural. Thanks for the confirmation.
