An elderly woman died and her daughter became seriously ill after being attacked by a pitbull, this happened in Peru

[Vince the prince]

The way the dog is sitting on the steps with blood on him is looking rather evil

[jack24]

Do people here like Pitbulls? I think 99% of them are evil. I’d never trust one around anyone no matter how sweet “Princess” has been in the past. I don’t want to see one or live near one.

Woof

Wasn’t looking for the fight.

I agree to that how you raise an animal has *some* impact on how it acts, but there is also the element of hardwired behavior that you can't breed or train out of the dog. Case in point, we adopted a second dog (not a "dangerous" breed) that we learned had a trigger. At about a year of age, we had to put his food dish far from the other dog and supervise their feeding as he would finish his food then literally attack the other dog to get at his food. I'm talking a snarling, fur flying, grab by the throat. We had him from six weeks of age so we know that environment didn't make him this way. This was literally the only thing that pushed his button. He was fine around other animals aside from meals and receptive to strangers in our house. And it's no coincidence that breeds like Pits, Cane Corso, Rotties, Dobermans are more prone, it's in their DNA.

Nonsense analogy. Guns are an inanimate object wielded by a human. A pit bull is a dog bred specifically for fighting. Look at the physiology of them - the wide head, muscles and jaw designed to “lock”. Look at statistics on pit bull attacks vs other breeds. They were created for this behaviour. It’s in their blood, they can’t help instinct no matter how hard you try to train it out of them. They will always be capable of this.

Anyone who owns one of these things that doesn’t use it purely as a guard dog or similar is a fool. It’s not a family pet. Get a Labrador or similar. How many of those eat people every year?

Fuck pitbulls/XL bullies etc

All he wanted was a bone.

My sister is a veterinarian and don't get her started on pitbulls...

Yes, they can be happy loving dogs but they can't always stop their genetic instincts to bite and kill. There are many examples of even the kindest pitbulls just snapping for no apparent reason. Once they clench into someone there is no choice but to kill them because they will instinctively not let go.

I'm a dog lover, but that breed and the various hybrids like Bully XL simply can NEVER be trusted.
