I dated a fine girl from Indianna whose pops raised rabbits for meat. Oh my what a hottie she was. Drop dead gorgeous and the sweetest girl I ever met. Too bad we lived so far away. Well sort of, my love of my life is my Polish girl. But those indianna Midwest babes are smokining hot...,

I knew you came with a preconceived agenda.

You people pretend but you’re incapable.

[reasonisfaith]

It doesn’t make sense that you’d be this upset about a comment on feral dogs.

Your beef against me is either about politics or religion, but you won’t admit it because you lack the confidence.

My 175lb Kangal would make short work of anything this side of a fully mature grizz. He’s a beast. Get one of those.

? Just about everybody in my neighborhood in the suburbs of Kumamoto City has a dog or 2 . Our Boston Terrier left us a couple of years ago .

I am having a pit bull issue and trying to figure out how to defend.

The best defense is a good offense.

U Go Gurl !

Hmm... the rock chucks are coming out now. I bet they make a good meal. Never ate one, but still.. the local hawks sure like them.

Good luck. A woodchuck kept gnawing on my house and running for cover when I came out. No matter how stealthily I tried to get the drop on him he always sensed it and poof...

Then one day he was gone, making me wonder if a FERAL DOG got him or he made that left in ALBUQUERQUE like Bugs Bunny.

"He seems to have been shown the door years ago."

Lol.. Yeah, back in 2010.

[Natty Bumppo@frontier.net]

My town is so tough the cats in the local animal shelter are part pit bull. /s

[reasonisfaith]

Oh no, not another one reading my deep state file. You people are too obvious.

[technically right]

.45 acp. Never leave home without it.

[A strike]

Thou doth think too much of thyself..

[wardaddy]

I think he’s Norse something now here?

[Bikkuri]

I always wondered if he came back under a new name.

I have seen tasers be worthless on pitbulls. The video I saw of the bucket was a woman being attacked. Scooter goes by. Stops ..gets off scooter and swings bucket. I was thinking noise might do it before the attack.

They exist just depends on where you live. People dump them off and leave. Big problem in some areas. Might not be just pit bills but mixed in with other dogs.

I’ve saw wild dogs once with feral hogs where I’m at. Odd sight to say the least.

[sevinufnine]

You shot into the ground instead of into the dogs? Why?!

[Alas Babylon!]

They had already disappeared into the woods. I could still hear them running but couldn’t see them.
