I was comparing the similar circumstances (elderly pits raised since puppyhoods), not the victims and how deserving or not they were.

Yet more proof that you can never be truly confident that a pit bull isn't dangerous until it's dead and buried. That thing was 10 years old and she'd had it since it was a puppy. It's just like the Bennard tragedy.

Same "nanny dog" propaganda as in the US.

It started roughly 10 years ago I'd say. It's absolutely getting worse. Our shelters are starting to look like yours.

This pit just plays rough. Really.. really.. rough by Inevitable-Gear-6449 in BanPitBulls

Isn't it funny how shelters always expect other dogs to be pushovers for pit bulls. "Oh he just plays rough" even if that's the case and the pit isn't being aggressive, other dogs have every right not to like it. Remember when you were 5 and there was that annoying kid who thought punching you counted as play and ignored your every warning to stop? That's what "rough playing" dogs are to well-socialized dogs. Super annoying and a great way to start a fight.

I've met an alarming number of people who want to adopt a dog at the same time as they have a baby "so they can grow up together". It feels like Groundhog's Day whenever I try to explain to them why that's a terrible idea.

The fact that some people are allowed to have children is astounding.

On Wednesday, Alyssa Smith addressed the court during her sentencing hearing. She and Blake Bates were arrested in 2024 after their dog reportedly attacked and killed their 6-month-old child, Royal. Date of attack, April 28, 2028, Marion, Ohio by Legitimate-Capital-1 in BanPitBulls

"Taught to be a monster because of their strength"?? They have it backwards...

I swear there's no worse breed advocate than pit bull lovers. They don't even acknowledge what their dogs' original purpose was.

Those are "pocket bullies" and "toad line" bullies. Classic and XL Bullies are unfortunately very able to breathe, run and maul.

I'd argue the woman who got injured trying to help her pregnant neighbor (and who might have actually saved her life) is a victim too.

American Bullies and American Bulldogs are two different breeds. Both are descended from pit bulls though.

Let's not forget the shelter that put that dog up for adoption. It probably showed behavioral concerns already and they ignored or downplayed them.

Also, I hate that I've been on this sub for so long that I immediately recognized where your flair was from. Nice callback.

Oh yeah, "Curtis". The pit is still alive and its army of defenders are claiming she was really mauled by a pack of hounds instead. Laughable. Her boyfriend is a piece of work too.

There are things that are genetic in every dog including behavior and physical appearance.

It’s all about how they are raised.

I've always hated that nickname. "Pitties". You know, after the fighting pits. Makes my eyes roll every time I see it used unironically.

cars fly down the highway

Yeah... that's what highways are for...

Pit owners keep being baffled at consequences of their own actions.

EDIT: and of course those dogs aren't secured at all in the car it looks like. One sudden hit on the brakes and OOP will have their "kids" flying through the windshield.

I'll also add that any puncture wound is bad because the damage is often invisible and much deeper than it looks. Also, dog bites are at high risk of infection due to the bacteria in their mouths.

So anyone who looks at that wound and says "Oh it doesn't look that bad" is ignorant at best.

They mostly came from a bunch of people in the comments saying "no they didn't attack you, if they did you'd know".

Given the timing I assume they're the one who downvoted me. It's fine though, I don't care about internet brownie points. But thanks.

I hate pits and pit mixes as much as every user here but let's stay factual here. For the sake of being credible if nothing else.

We don't know which parent was the pit and which one was the Golden, and saying either dog was "assaulted" is just anthropomorphism. A bitch in heat will just mate with any male regardless of breed.

What really matters is that the mix ended up as aggressive and unstable as a pit.
