ROFL.

But, but the Clintons owned a labrador, didn't they?? Are you absolutely sure you're a conservative?? LOLOL.

"What's with all the pitbull stories lately."

It must be Al Qaeda releasing the sleeper cells of pitbulls. That must be what the video was about.

My boxer killed a rabbit once..........poor rabbit.....

Here's the deal. Goldens, Labs, Newfoundlands, Beagles, and countless other "seemingly" friendly breeds maul just as many people as Pit Bulls do, but the darn media never reports it! It's a conspiracy, I tell you. The demonization of by far the most peaceful and loving breed on earth - the Pit Bull - continues unabated. Disgusting.

"Other forms of agression like hitting them with brooms, bats, sticks, etc....actually makes them grip tighter."

Actually, a baseball bat swung hard and striking the pit bull at the base of the skull, where the spine enters the skull, will end the attack quite successfully. Sticks are useless.

If you have a firearm, you must be very careful not to further injure the person being attacked. Approach closely, and direct your shot _across_ the dog, at the opening of the ear. If that's not feasible, a heart shot is the next best thing, but most people cannot locate the heart of a dog.

If you have a shotgun, stand back six feet, and carefully direct your fire at the center of the chest, behind the dog's shoulder, again being careful not to injure the person. A cross-body shot is ideal. The reason to back off a bit is to create a bigger hole through the chest area, adding insurance to your shot.

Still, if the attack is ongoing, the base of the skull blow with a heavy club is the best approach.

PITBULL TERRIER - the ultimate WHITE TRASH dog!

That would be news to (countless) inner city Pit Bull owners and breeders.

"I don't consider myself white trash and I own 3 pit bull dogs."

I hope your dogs are always under your control and kept from roaming. I also hope that you have a high fence to keep them from escaping. If you live in my neighborhood, your dogs had better not be roaming at all. I will not tolerate loose pit bulls. Period. So, please be careful with your dogs.

"What's with all the pitbull stories lately.
"

It's a no-brainer. On any given day, you can do a search for "Pit Bull" on Google News and find a story to post here of some pit bull attacking someone somewhere. You won't have the same success if you enter the name of any other dog breed.

Check it out. Actually, I like the idea of a daily "Pit Bull Attack of the Day" posting on FR. Maybe after a couple of months of that, the "pit bulls are just the nicest dogs" crap will come to an end.

By the way, name one species of dog that won't bite for sure

Easy - the Hot Dog!

[Liberal Classic]

Um yeah! Hey, my grandpa owned a trailer park. I guess that makes me the crown prince of rednecks!

"Pitbulls, the dogs of peace"

[Umanbean]

I volunteered to keep a tiny, little pitbull puppy for a co-worker for a week while she moved, even though I have a prejudice against the breed and am suspect of their owners. I figured it's just a puppy, not really a pitbull yet. My first clue that something was wrong was when my 110 pound mixed retriever relinquished his food to the puppy. Just turned around and walked away. Then I had the ugly little puppy out back playing and the thing attacked me. Not the typical puppy play, a vicious attack. The little monster spent the rest of the week contained. I hate pitbulls.

No, you didn't say all "white trash" own pitbulls. YOU DID SAY: pitbull terriers are the ultimate white trash dog.

...any more questions...

Nah, you ain't my type, Jill.
