Just another coincidence.

When I was a kid a local dairy and produce farm in town had a pair of Dobermans and one morning the owner was going out to harvest some fresh vegetables and the dogs turned on him and he had to shoot them.

Never once have I heard of a yorkshire terrier turning violent and killing anyone. Almost every day, I read about pit-bulls attacking. I am sure there are some sweet pits, but IMHO, every one of them should be sterilized at birth.

Violent crime rate among Pit Bulls is about the SAME AS HUMANS IN DETROIT!

That is very unfortunate news.
Pit Bulls are usually very sweet and it's often the nuturing they receive that determines their behavior.
Condolences to the family and friends of this young man.

Back in the days, A man took care of his own problems...didn't defend the indefensible..As my daddy use to say "Every man has to shoot his own dog and iron his own apron".

But the pit lovers aren't men, they are just pits with 2 legs...I am sick of hearing He is such a sweet dog and wouldn't hurt anybody, as the ambulance takes another victim to the hospital...There is quite a handful of those lovers of pits on Free Republic...

*** but IMHO, every one of them should be sterilized at birth.***

Funny, I use to say the same thing about all Kennedy's.. neutered at birth...they breed like rats....

Large, muscular dogs such as rottweilers and pit bulls have been blamed for the majority of fatal dog bites that have occurred during the last two decades. But data from CDC studies show that small dogs such as dachshunds, cocker spaniels and *even a Yorkshire terrier have killed humans*. In Los Angeles last year, a Pomeranian caused fatal injuries to a 6-week-old baby in her crib. “Bites by Chihuahuas are probably as numerous as bites by German shepherds,” says Bonnie Beaver, executive director of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists at Texas A&M University.

Ban pit Yorkies!

:)

oh yeah

A lot of Yorkies will go after small mammals. Shrews, mice, etc. They are (have been) bred for that type of behavior. Pit Bulls snap and kill. They are bred for that type of behavior. People have personal attachments to these animals but don't seem to comprehend that human beings bred these animals for violence. All the care in the world can't completely wipe out inbred instinct. This case, along with numerous others of Chet 99’s posts are good examples.

I was once nipped on the ankle by a tea cup poodle.

[Eccl 10:2]

Ezek 14:12-16

The word of the LORD came to me: 13 "Son of man, if a country sins against me by being unfaithful and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its men and their animals, 14 even if these three men—Noah, Daniel [a] and Job—were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign LORD.

15 "Or if I send wild beasts through that country and they leave it childless and it becomes desolate so that no one can pass through it because of the beasts, 16 as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, even if these three men were in it, they could not save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved, but the land would be desolate.

Don’t get me started, Yorkie. I have a Chi-mix, and I’ve never seen a headline saying “Chihuahua attacks and kills little boy” either.

Pit-bull owners are an interesting “breed” all their own.

There is a reason why you never see dog-fighting rings being busted up by the police that fight German Shepherds, or Labs, or cocker spaniels.

It doesn’t mean those dogs can’t be mean. It just means they’ve never been bred to be vicious. Too much inbreeding and cruelty over the years, and now we have an entire breed(s) that needs to be annihalated (in my opinion).

[Blue Jays]

The half-dozen or so pit bulls whom I've known over the years never snapped, never exhibited violence, and never hurt anyone.
Two of them were downright cuddly. Just my $0.02 with those dogs.

[bobby.223]

yep, see my post no. 3 GG. so far no pit bull lovers have shown up like we always get but you nailed it. 2 legged pit bulls is right. there gutless, have to act tough thru the damn animal. pathetic. pathetic that some of our fellow FReepers have this little dick problem that they work out thru a vicious animal.

[allmost]

That’s good. People keep all sorts of pets. I know people who love snakes. Not that I’m comparing the two, it’s a personal preference. It’s not a coincidence that pits are favored by inner city thugs. It is in their nature by human design over many generations to take to violence. I love animals in general. Other breeds have similar tendencies of course. Hard to view a puppy as dangerous. The pit issue is, due to the inner city/drug thug component, getting a lot more attention IMO.

LOL you know them so well........
