      I hate how this lie gets spread around the internet about how good owners have good dogs. Most pitbull attacks happen because they do have great owners and they want to protect them. It's sees the owner as part of it's pack and will attack thinking it's protecting the ones it loves and it's territory. Chihuahua's are actually one of the most aggressive and territorial breeds of dogs on the planet, but they're too small and weak to really harm anyone. Pitbulls act the same way, but they have the strength and power to kill.

Pitbulls are smart and good with people, including children, when raised from birth in good environments. They are very strong and can be good guard dogs, junk yard dogs, dog fighting dogs and that's why they have a bad reputation because too many awful people raise them for those purposes. Some breeds like Chihuahuas and Dalmatians are overly inbred and just temperamental by nature but dogs like Pitbulls and Rottweilers take the brunt of the blame because they are sought out by people who want a violent dog and sadly raise them to be so.

      It seems this (large male) moose was blocking the road, and taking his sweet time getting out of the way. Our impatient driver decided to shoo him away, and leaned on his horn for a good 10 seconds.
      The moose turned around, took a good look, and *WHAM* head butted the front of the truck. Smashed the Hell out of it.

    Based on the number of people killed and injured, the most dangerous animal in north America is the White Tail Deer. The deaths and injuries are caused by auto accidents involving deer and Lymes disease, which is a disease carried by deer ticks. Accidents with deer kill between 100-200 people each year in the U.S. There are over a million incidents of cars hitting deer each year, and the property damage is estimated at about $4 BILLION annually.

      Crappy thing is when you look up bite statistics in dog breeds notice they only say pitbulls instead of the specific breeds. Over 90% of “pitbulls” people own are actually American staffordshire terriers or American bullies. The reason the term pitbull is used is because it’s an umbrella term to clump the American staffordshire terrier, American bulldog, American bully, staffordshire bull terrier, English bull terrier, Boston terrier, and American pit bull terrier together. So when you see “pitbull” bite statistics keep in mind its 5 or more breeds clumped under one.

They are very protective of their families and when they are trained right they are nice to all humans except the ones that are a threat to their families. They have been known as nanny dogs for at least a century because they are caring when treated right. They are no more or less aggressive than a Rottweiler or German shepherd. Are there lines that have been bred for fighting and being aggressive? Yes.

    There are a lot of perfectly lovely pitties (and other "dangerous" breeds). One of the absolute best "kid dogs" I've ever met was a German Shepherd that had been a police dog.
    But you can't overlook two factors that do make the typical "dangerous" breeds more of a hazard than, say, a golden retriever. First, there *are* breeds that were explicitly bred for maximum aggression, making them more likely to engage in such behavior. Still, you can socialize and train any breed away from that, if you take the time and know what you're doing.
    The second, and more important fact is that these are the breeds, by and large, that were bred to be large and powerful, with exceptionally strong bite force. That means that when one of these breeds *does* get into trouble, it simply causes more damage than, say, a cocker spaniel and chihuahuas (which actually tend to be far "bitier" than the large working breeds... but that angry little ankle demon is not really a serious threat to a healthy adolescent or grown adult, even if it wanted to be. Heck, I had a roommate whose bull mastiff (who thought she was a 120 lbs lap dog) frequently caused damage and injury simply because she is several times larger and stronger than she thinks she is (just a big old clumsy Shrek)... That means there is less margin for error.
    So, it's not that these are bad breeds - these are breeds that take more attention and skill (especially as a puppy) than, say, a basset hound.

    • @johnnabuzby6103
      @johnnabuzby6103 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Also, there's the amount of power in the jaws of different breeds. Labradors and other retrieving dogs have been bred to have a "soft" mouth so as not to damage the waterfowl they retrieve for the hunters. Pit bulls and Rottweilers have more powerful jaws, so, like you mentioned, they're capable of doing way more damage if they get aggressive and attack someone.

    • @SunwardRanger83
      @SunwardRanger83 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Just a quick story I wanted to share since you mentioned shepherds. Growing up we had a shepherd/lab mix that was just about the friendliest thing you could imagine, with one exception. He hated gloves. We lived in an area of pretty significant snowfall so we might have drifts two or three feet deep that we'd blown through to get to the car. Walking along this path you'd suddenly see a blur flying in front of you snapping for your winter gloves. He got a few too. He'd never catch the skin, but somehow always managed catch hold and drag them off. Finally one year I was pissed so I bought some ski gloves with tightening straps so they wouldn't come off no matter what. This was a mistake. The scene played out as before except by now I was probably 1.5 to 2 times the dogs size so I thought I was good. I was wrong. Our dog grabbed the glove as usual, but since it was strapped on I went face first into the snow. Then as he shook it back and forth trying to get it lose he drug me through, not over, but THROUGH the nearest snow drift. Finally the strap gave way and he trotted off proudly shaking his prize. Me, I've never laughed so hard in my life.

  • @AlaskanGlitch
    @AlaskanGlitch 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Bears are my favorite critters. They are curious, very intelligent, and have a great sense of humor. I've had dozens of brown, grizzly, and black bear encounters during my 30 years living in Alaska, and none of them were ever aggressive. The key to having an enjoyable bear encounter is to be certain that you never surprise them, and keep your food in a safe location. Most importantly, maintain a comfortable distance from the bear. Never, ever approach one. Bears and dogs have a lot of very similar behaviors. So if you are familiar with dogs, you may also be able to judge the mood of a bear.
    I have often discouraged bear behavior simply by talking to them. If I'm fishing for salmon, for example, a brown bear will try to be sneaky and take the salmon I've already caught. The problem for the bear is that at 1,500 pounds and 3 meter long they are not exactly stealthy. Just letting them know that you see them and they are busted trying to be sneaky, is enough to get them running back into the forest. They don't always fail, however. I have lost salmon to a brown bear before. I told you they were clever.
    The overwhelming majority of bear attacks are by those who have either surprised the bear, or got closer (accidentally or intentionally) than the bear felt comfortable (you want to make certain you give a sow with cubs LOTS of space). Bears are terribly near-sighted, but have a great sense of smell. If you are approaching the bear from up-wind, it may not be able to identify what you are until you are within ~10 meters. If the bear is unsure what you are, it may attack to prevent what it perceives as a threat. They are not attacking to kill, only to incapacitate and eliminate the threat. When in bear country it would be wise to always pay close attention to your surroundings. Including the direction the wind is blowing.

    If I properly recognize him, the guy with the grizzly is its owner, and the bear is rented by people for movies, commercials, etc. The least dangerous of the 2 is the black bear, followed by the grizzly/brown bear/Kodiak bear.
    The best known great white is Bruce from Finding Nemo. : ))

      Not *very* poisonous, but they are aggressive relative to other more poisonous snakes. Diamondback rattlesnakes are more common killers. Looking at a list of fatal snake bites in the US, the last person who died who had been bitten by a cottonmouth was listed as "unknown causes" because he also had a lethal amount of oxycodone in his system and had been drinking. That was 2015. The one prior to that was in 1971. On the other hand, Copperheads turn up as the next most common after rattlesnakes.

      @@Markle2k Hiking in the Appalachians, you have to be on the lookout for both both rattlesnakes (eastern Timber species) and copperheads. Rattlesnakes like to lie out on and just underneath the rocks on mountain overlooks to bask in the sun. Stepping over or down off of a rock can surprise both you and the snake if you are not careful.

    I was almost killed by a goat when I was younger. I was hiking up in the Colorado mountains and I stopped to admire the the view by the edge of a cliff, then I heard a sound. As I turned a freakin' goat, not even a big horn sheep, which are cool to see up in the mountains, but some random goat, head butts me right over the edge of the cliff. Luckily there was a bit of a slope at the beginning of the cliff, so I was able to hit, then grab a ridge about 15 feet down. By the time I crawled back up, the goat was gone. Never saw it again, and never figured out where it came from, seeing as though I was at least 15 miles from any town. So yeah, any animal can be deadly if you're not careful.

There at the ranch, those animals simply wanted to be pet, hugged, brushed, walked for miles... and they loved to be played with vigorously! I am or was very nervous around the large animals because I grew up with little lap dogs but was pleasantly surprised to find how nice and friendly those larger animals could be. Including the pit bull /pit bull mixes! :-D
