You are over the top. One would think from this post that you have concern for children mauled by dogs- which would make sense. However you only post on those harmed by pit bulls as if no other breed can harm a child. You are not doing a service to concerned dog owners or parents or anyone by concentrating on one breed.
A daughter of a friend of ours was mauled this badly by a Mastiff recently. Any dog can be a danger to a child and NO dog should ever be trusted around one. ANY large breed can do major damage and even kill a child or adult.
I sincerely hope your focus on Pit Bulls does not cause some people to make the mistake of thinking a child is safe around other breeds. A dog is a dog and does not have the thought process needed in order to be trusted around children. That is the message that needs to get out there.
Ping to #18 - if you’re interested.
Is this your first time on a “Chet99 Pit Bull Pogrom” thread?
Other than posting dozens of other “gory wild animal attacks” stories, *this* is what gives him his ya-yas.
No matter how many people post stories about *other* breeds attacking/biting/killing people, he mainly focuses on pit/bully type breeds.
[or any variation/mix, thereof]
We’re either talking dangerous obsession, perverse attraction or hysterical phobia, here.
[perhaps an overlapping of all three]
The fact of the matter is, if *none* of *us* come in and ‘feed him” by smacking him around, his average thread length is 8-20 posts, *if* he’s lucky.
[people seem to be either growing bored of his mania or are finally figuring out his neuroses]
This makes me suspect he’s a lonely weirdo who’s found the perfect way to get himself some “company” as he sits alone in his mom’s basement, eating Cheetos with one hand and copying/pasting with the other.
He disregards the inconvenient fact that very small breeds have maimed/mutilated/killed small children and babies.
They do not garner near the sensationalism that pits do therefore, do not fit his agenda.
Considering that a statistically *much* smaller number of hippos inhabit a *vastly* smaller geographic/sparsely populated area yet kill at *least* 10 times more people per year, you’d think, if human life were of such a great concern to him, he’d be posting *those* stories, wouldn’t you?
That’s why the hippos symbolize hypocrisy, pure and simple.
That’s why the “Pippos” [pit hippos] will always be wherever Chet and his wanton dog killing sycophants will be.
We DO care very much about and pray for the victims of dog attacks...and that includes the -dumb animals- who commit the attacks, *without* the “evil” anthropomorphic intent generally attributed to them.
WE blame the people who own/abused/mistrained/unleashed the dogs in the first place.
The responsibility for any animal attack lies first and foremost with the [theoretically] “smarter” owner.
