Pit bulls are psyco. Never trust a pit bull. The kill factor is in their brains.

Some pit bull owners who are “tired” of people not believing that “pitties” are to be pitied, attach a bib and pacifier to their dog to make it look vulnerable and sweet. It’s sickening of course, given the number of babies killed by pit bulls.

I respect respectful breeds. This one is deranged and should be thinned out.

It’s a sad situation, because most Pits I’ve met are extremely intelligent, almost disarmingly so.
Their intellect is often on par with their displays of emotion.
It’s seems a waste of high quality grey matter. Eventually, instinct will prevail over a dog’s learned logic.

Why would a dog attack its owner unless it was being mistreated or threatened by them? Unless it’s psycho pooch.

My daughter showed me a video the other day of a little four year old girl with nine male pit bulls sitting around her while she fed them. I could hardly bear to watch it. My daughter thought it proved they are good dogs.

And he was just turning his life around. He was giving children a 3 second head start before chasing them screaming into streets and gutters....There’s probably a picture of him graduating from doggie obedience school, with a human femur hanging out of his mouth instead of a diploma...

Sometimes an otherwise calm dog is simply annoyed and has ‘had it up to here’ with something his owner has been doing or making him keep doing. A few weeks ago, I heard of a family dog (Not a Pit, I don’t think) going nuts after the Lady of the House tried to put a too-tight knitted Xmas Sweater on him. The dog went bonkers.The entire family of three people had to run out of the house, and call 911.

Maybe those pacifiers and bibs are trophies

How many people were killed, had their faces ripped off or limbs severed? If the number is greater than zero there is a VERY good chance it’s at least a pit mix...

A dog that’s “had it up to here” growls and if provoked bites and releases. There are many accounts of pit bulls rushing out the door past the owner and attacking people like they are his food or natural prey. The pits typicall bite and hold, thrashing like a shark in an attempt (often successful) to sever large chunks of flesh and bone. That doesn’t sound like a golden retriever now, does it?
