I am not defending pitts. I think those dogs in this article should be killed on sight. I was saying that most pitt “maulings” are not maulings at all but merely stupid dogs that don’t know when to quit. I’ve seen the videos. I’ve seen dogs do this in person with kids and they have to be stopped by an adult before going too far.
I am not a pitt lover. I am a dog lover. I personally don’t really care for pitts so much. I’ve never owned one and probably never will. I don’t like terriers. Pitts are half terrier. The trait I was describing about the juvenile-ish dogs that don’t know when enough is enough comes form the bulldog part of the pitt. But the terrier part of the pitt is what can make them a little nasty. The pitts that I’ve seen are more bulldog than terrier in personality.
According to the dictionary: maul 1. beat and bruise, injure by clawing, handle roughly.
Pit bulls and other dog attacks are maulings. when you get into the dogs intentions, (he was just playing) you are coming off like a liberal does. ‘But, but ,my dog didn’t mean to maul and kill your child.’ It doesn’t matter if the dog was just playing and not really a mean bad dog. Any dog, pit or other breed who is fully able and 'willing' to kill an adult for no reason, does not belong in society. All dogs were bred to do a job, the job that pit bulls were bred to do is no longer viable.
