I Hate PitBulls!!!!!

Tell 'em Al Sharpton sent 'cha!

That always gets results.

 

You'll get it eventually.

 

Couldn't say. I remember he had certificates about their breeding...

I'd say both of my cousins' dogs were in the 60 pound range. Way too big for a lap dog, anyway. And solid; no flab at all.

My aunt suspected he had them for fighting (other dogs), but they never looked torn up or anything.

Also has the side effect of teaching the POS owner a lesson. I'd say he'd be somewhat less enamored with the dog after that.

 

I'm sure a walking staff would be fine protection for a normal/sane dog.
Unless you're a Ninja, it's not going to do much against a pitbull. They throw car tires around for exercise, so do the math.

As for telling the cops, it is good to have the owner on record. But keep in mind the cops have to pretty much catch the dog in the act of being dangerous. We have a troublesome dog on our street, and the cops/animal control people have been to his house about 5 times, but the dogs remain. But when he does get nailed, all the reports will help nail him. It just takes a lot of time amd luck.

 

My first recommendation would be to carry a gun and shoot the damn dog if it charges you.

Failing that, carry a toadsticker, and when it comes up and latches on, bury it in the fucker's eye.

 

I heard somewhere, someone did the eye thing...

....pissed 'em off even more, they kept coming.

 

I will pay good money to see someone attempt to stab an enraged full-grown pitbull in the eye with a knife. Might work in theory though.

 

Call the pound and tell them it's loose and you fear for your safety. Document the call and keep at them if they fail to respond. Make a call to the Chief, and the Mayor if you have to. Again, document the time, person spoken to and any pertinent information.

If none of that gets tangable results, a call to the local investigative team at your local TV station may be in order. "Dog" them on it.

If all else fails, and the dog persists, shoot the bastard. You'll have covered your ass on the reports made and documented. I'm sure there's a local Al or Jessie to help in the situation where you can skin the city for inaction for a few grand.

 

If I miss the eye then the next shot will be straight into its throat for a sawing cut across the jugular. Either way, I win. Then the owner better hope I'm bleeding to death myself at that point, because he's fucking next. By this time I predict my mood would be less than friendly.

This is all assuming the dog's mobility is limited because it's latched on to some part of my anatomy.

 

"Pit bull" is a colloquialism. The proper name for the breed is "American Staffordhsire Terrier."

 

I did the eye-gouging thing, mostly by accident, when a neighbor's children-hostile husky/malamute clamped onto my arm when I was about 7. It sure did work, but then again, sled dogs weren't really made for killing.

 

The American Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier are two different breeds. The APBT is often confused with AST's and the British Staffy.

 

I don't understand, if the dog didn't actually do anything, how do you know that it will/would have?

 

I'm way more of a cat person than a dog person, but I think pit bulls have a bad reputation because of the shitty people who own them and the fact that they are the most likely candidates for becoming violent if they are treated poorly.

I was attacked by a dachshund when I was little and it was brought up by a relatively responsible family. I don't see the reason to be hatin' on pitbulls.

 

I'll never forget one day when I was 12, delivering on my paper route. Lady opened her door to pay me, and two dogs ran out - a gret dane the size of a race horse, and a poodle the size of my shoe. I barely saw the poodle, I was so focused on this gargantuan carnivore coming at me.

The great dane stopped right in front of me with his tail wagging and a "pet me pet me pet me!" look on his face. The poodle tried to kill me by ripping chunks of my sock off.

 

Dont come over to my house

 

Pitbulls become arseholes due to their owners, they're not inherently violent towards humans. Unless you happen to have a baby or a toddler, pitbulls around here are quite fond of attacking them for some reason.

 

Just call the Dog Whisperer and get the mutt rehabilitated.

Sheesh. That's like saying a certain ethnic group is good only for crime.

 

The Flow Farms canine policy.

All stray dogs will be shot.

Pit Bulls are considered stray even if I know the owner.

 

When I was leaving Germany they were in the process of making them illegal. The America soldiers would of course be hit hard, because they were more interested in the breed than Germans were.

 

I DID get attacked by a German shepherd once, though. Fucker almost yanked me off my bike and I had a dog-jaw-shaped bruise on my arm for a month or so.

I don't miss that paper route!

 

An Irish Setter came charging at me to attack when I was about 4, playing on our lawn.

Our Golden Retriever broke it's chain and chased the fucker down the road, taking care of business.

As for this incident...it doesn't sound like the dog charged..it was watching to see what you would do. Not only that, it sounds like the owner was quickly out there, taking control. Maybe the dog just slipped by and it was an unusual circumstance. Also...how do you know if there is a meth lab there or not? You sound very judgemental about these apparently poor people. Lastly...why the need to point out they are white?

I can just imagine if someone had a story like this and talked about the black people down the street.

 

Tamar, the Alabaster Avenger.

 

Down South 'white trash' is the white equivalent of 'ghetto.' From the description given white trash sounds like the right description.

 

You would be hard put to find someone whiter than I who was still breathing or not an albino.

 

I think I could take you. B/c not only do I start off as Casper white, but have spent months outside (cutting grass one summer, working of a farm for 3, waiting tables at the Back Porch and living at the beach, and now living in the desert and still I never tan.

 

So essentially people are to blame for pit bull behavior. So what now? Should we kill them all? Put them in zoos? Permanent head gear?


BTW - All the pit bulls I've met have just been regular dogs.
