Not surprised they're extremely dangerous animals that can be set off by the most random things. That's why they're banned in several places around the world and hopefully it will keep increasing

dogs only become dangerous because of their owners. you also have no idea if those pit bulls were rescues as well as if they were brought up to be aggressive. this is a very ignorant take. it isn't the pit bulls fault, it's the owners for not raising her dogs correctly and not fixing the fence properly.

Pitbulls are abominations and owners should be jailed for life should their dogs cause even non-fatal harm to another dog or human.

If you want me to be honest everytime im near a pitbull or rotwailer or husky i get very anxious and try just to be far far way.
Im obssesed with death prevention-safety and everyday in the news there's new dog attacks  
Some dogs even if theyre loved have genetic predisposition to violence. Is not their fault. Its nature. 

We need bigger penalties-jail time-criminal laws for people not takin care of dogs outside. Thats the only way to battle this problem

Someone like your neighboor. She should be in Jail in this moment 

Dog breeds u need to be careful with

Do you have any compassion at all for the countless people who are victims of these dogs? You’re right, this white trash owner who continually ignores my mother when she makes a simple request to keep her beastly dog off our property is to blame. 
 

But we’re not pit owners for a reason. We don’t trust them and we don’t want them on our property. I was minding my own business when one charged at me today, but you and a bunch of other monsters (who ironically don’t like me) thought it was funny and worth a kiii that one tried to harm me today

And guns don’t kill people, people with guns kill people, right?

I don't really trust people so no one should have one tbh.

umm yeah.. that's usually how it works. a person has to pick the gun up and pull the trigger as well as aim it, load it, have an intention...

1st thing i thought. the pit bull attacks in the UK are out of control and nothing is done 

 

ot: these dogs were literally bred to bite and kill stop with the virtue signaling 

[ariesgroove]

i literally have a pitbull who's trained, there’s really no one to blame here but the owners

I do have compassion for all the people who were attacked by all animals and dogs not just pit bulls. 

 and you're absolutely right the owner is vile and y'all should sue her and have the state come and rehabilitate those pit bulls. find a sanctuary for them so they can have proper care. have we forgotten dogs are naturally wild animals that have to be domesticated? no matter what breed?  if it would have been a German Shepherd would you want to put down all German Shepherds? what if it was a Bull mastiff would you feel the same way?

Would you be confident enough in your dog’s training to accept criminal negligence charges if the dog injures another person or dog?

you don't trust people.. so no one should have a pit bull?

you mean not everyone is meant to be trusted to raise a pit bull, no?

If it was any kind of dog, I’d feel the same way. Once upon a time when I was in highschool, and in the same house, different neighbors in the same house had a bulldog that was vicious and not to be trusted. My family forbud us from hanging with said family until the bulldog was gone (we actually liked these neighbors too). The bulldog attacked one of neighbors and was promptly shot. 
 

We’re not a bunch of Karen’s or obsessed pitbull haters, we don’t want anybody’s dogs attacking us. Simple.

not you insinuating they didn't train their pit bull enough and it would attack someone because of your own personal bias against pit bulls.

I implied nothing of the sort. If a 7-year-old child finds their parent’s gun in a an unlocked box and kills themselves accidentally the parents are charged with negligence, as they should be. If it really is “teh owners!!1 the training!!” then accepting the possibility of criminal charges if your dog harms someone should be a perfectly reasonable ask. After all, if the dog is trained properly this should never happen, correct?

yes, that comes with any owner of a breed of dog known to be potentially dangerous. me and my family took extreme precaution and trained him to where that won’t happen. he’s 3 years old now and has been around the rest of my family including small children and has only at most shown excitement to see new people. if you’re gonna get a breed of dog known to be aggressive and not train them properly to control themselves, that’s on you.

and that's valid. but from what I have gathered in this thread and from you have been supporting, it is coming across you have a personal bias against pit bulls. my original point wasn't to shame you for getting attacked, by the way I'm really sorry that happened to you. I know it was scary af and hopefully you rebound from this. but was more so for you to shift all the blame to the owner and her negligence of being able to ensure her dogs stay within the fence. that woman has raised them that way and let me tell you, no one wants a lawsuit involving their dogs. she clearly doesn't care and I truly believe if you really wanna make a change you should look into a pit bull sanctuary in your city and get the proper guidance on how to have them rehabilitated. for everyones safety.

 you and all these hypotheticals. 

point is: you shouldn't own a dog if you're not gonna train and care for it properly. 

I currently own an Aussie Doodle and grew up with a Rottweiler, German Shepherd and Pit Bull. 

the most aggressive of my past dogs was the Rottweiler.

Then why did you name your thread "A pit bull tried to attack me today" instead of simply just saying "a dog"? And then upvoted every post hating on pit bulls? (including the sickening one where someone even said you should poison the dog, that user deserves to get BANNED for animal abuse)

 

Stop lying, we all know you wanted to specifically target pit bulls by making this thread

Sis, im telling a story that happened to me today. And no, I don’t like pitbulls because I don’t trust them. I don’t trust them because of this dog In particular, which has already attacked my cousins dog by breaking into our yard and just tried attacking me today in which I had to swing a ******* lawnmower at it to protect myself. 
 

If you feel personally attacked, take care of your dogs. Simple  it’s not my job to look after your dog and tell you how to train them so they don’t attack people

No sis, I do not trust pit bulls. I don’t trust a lot of dogs, but the only dog that’s ever tried to cause me harm was a pit bull and a bulldog
