"Pit Bulls Save Chihuahua From Coyote Attack"

Thanks for keeping this boys horrible death in perspective.

[ransomnote]

Just doesn’t make up for all the people they kill, limbs they rip off, faces they detach. German shepherd and other dogs do valorous things too, but the pits kill more people than all other dog bite fatalities combined.

[Washi]

Pit bulls are dangerous animals.

The fact that meth-heads, gang-bangers, and other assorted thugs have adopted them as their dog of choice makes them doubly dangerous.

People with pit bulls should not have children and vice versa.

[BBell]

I don’t live in Florida but the area I do live has a whole lot of the idiot owner types. About once a month you hear about a pit bull attack locally. Rarely does the dog kill anyone and more often then not the dog is dead before the police arrive. We also have a large number of gun owners where I live a the local LEO’s don’t really care if you shot a vicious dog of any breed.

[Smellin Salt]

Are you kidding? I’m not going to take the time to look into each one of your posted stories, but I’m calling BS on the whole idea. Pit bulls are a menace, plain and simple. The facts tell the story. I don’t care how nice the dog is, there is a trigger somewhere in the psyche, and when it’s pulled, there’s no going back. They are a menace to society.

[tupac]

Nice list. Won’t carry water here though. You could make a similar list a hundred times longer about police officers saving lives, helping old ladies, sacrificing their lives for the citizens and on and on. Some coward will call you a “copsucker” or worse. Still, it’s a nice list.

[HMS Surprise]

You are a straight up MORON.

[Dagnabitt]

Fortunately, I live in an expensive neighborhood that few Pit Bull owners can afford.

Should I however see one here off-leash...well, let's just say that my car has a heck of a blind spot.

[perez24]

You can post a list like that of any number of breeds of dogs. How many other breeds could have a list of people that they killed or seriously injured like pit bulls?

[oldenuff2no]

So this is supposed to make the 80 K-9 homicides over the last couple of decades just go away??? And that is not counting the attacks where the mauled person/child did not die...
These good little doggies seem to like kids, raw.....

[Donnafrflorida]

Thanks for posting. My pit is 8. Never ever ever so much as growled at a kid.

[Scoutmaster]

So . . . some of your links are dead, about 25 are about Pit Bulls protecting owners from robbers, home invasions, rapists, and attackers (like a guard dog? You know, Rottweilers, German Shephards, etc.?).

Your links are international, not just from the U.S.

Saving a tiny kitten from death means the dog was walking with its owner and sniffed out a kitten in a pile of rubbish?

You'll really have to try harder next time.
