Who lets their pit bulls out like that??
A typical owner.
@@chilledmonkeebrains lots of people
That goes for any breed. I have corgis, the most affable sweet natured dogs but I keep an eye on my male all the time. He guards me and my female very carefully. He knows word, hand and leash commands and is never off lead off of my fenced property. I do not want anyone getting hurt and that goes for my dog as well.
@@Itsakindamagic except you never hear of corgis mauling anyone.
When I was a kid, two pits owned by some drug dealers who lived up the canyon got loose & attacked our dog. Cops came & shot them, but not before they fatally mauled our dog. I've not trusted the breed since.
Owner is going to court.
Complete lack of proper training and ownership.
Owner is responsible.
Why is the owner going to court?
@@chadderboxist you own dogs you are responsible for their actions. Dogs not on leash. Dogs attacking people. The list of what the owner could be charged with is probably 3 or 4 laws broken.
Some counties don't even allow you to own Pitbulls because of dogfighting them.
People attacked by Dogs, generally, press charges to protect the neighborhood and children.
So, that's why I said.
The owner is going to court.
EXACTLY.. THOSE POOR DOGS.. ANY ANIMAL OWNER NEEDS TO BE A RESPONSIBILE OWNER.. P.B.,POODLE,COW,GOAT,PEGASUS.. BE A RESPONSIBILE HUMAN..😢😢😢😢
@@chadderboxistId say, (hopefully) OWNER NEEDS TO BE IN JAIL
The capability of this breed can be deadly. And it’s not the viciousness; many breeds are known to be more vicious than pitties, but it’s the agility the breed has.
My pit bull was able to climb trees and ladders, jumping high and stamina that was off the charts.
There’s no reason to raise a dog to be this way.
@@chadderboxistThe owner of the dogs.
I'm so sorry that action had to be taken. I'm afraid the responsibility lies with the owner of those dogs
And the dogs themselves.
The buck stops with the dogs owners !!! To many want these dogs. But are not willing to be
responsible, when things go wrong !!!! They think they know their pet. But what they don’t understand. Those same pets react differently with strangers !!
@@patrickscopas9133 absolutely the owner's fault

Absolutely! Sometimes things like this happen. Aggressive dogs need to be controlled constantly..they probably got out of the gate somehow..

@@aletageer6911pit bulls just like all other dogs are about training. The only bad pit bulls are because they werent properly trained or socialized. People collect pets irresponsibly. Im a pet sitter, i have sat many many pits. The only dog that ever attacked me wasnt a pit, and was because the owner didnt care for him properly. (Chesapeake bay retriever)
@@aletageer6911 grow up. All dogs have the ability to attack
@@sircampbell1249 Some people should never reproduce, nor work with infants, children, disabled, elderly, or animals.
@@aletageer6911you can't even spell and you wanna add something to the conversation? Pit bulls are no more aggressive than a Labrador or german shepherd. Its all about wether or not they are trained any untrained dog will act off of their base instincts and that is usually to chase and attack in attempt to hunt.
the owners should be charged criminally.

@@stevek8829 Outside of Dangerous Dog laws, a dog who attacks a person may subject the owner to common law claims such as the one-bite rule, negligence, or strict liability. Outside of legal penalties, when a dog is classified as dangerous, an owner may also face trouble getting his or her home insured or finding rental coverage.
@@stevek8829 not controlling a dangerous animal. Especially if it isn’t t the first time someone got bit. Your dog is your property which makes it your liability.
I know of a child who died due to pit attack. ripped her throat out. owner went to jail. but I saw him before he went to jail .. having fun at a neighborhood party I was attending. having a great time, meanwhile little girls family was grieving. my neighbor was the paramedic who carried the little one to ambulance. she died in his arms. nothing could be done

@@lynncollver6067 Any dog must be trained early. If you don't really know the steps there are places such as Pet Smart that have obedience training. Most importantly, walk your dog to release their energy. As an owner it is your responsibility to have a place they can explore. We have a fenced in yard so that they are under our watchful eye. When my husband walks our dog a leash is a must. She is not a fan of children. We think their squeals and sudden movements scare her so we hold her back. When the polite children ask if they can pet her , my husband explains telling them our dog has boundaries we must respect.
@jacquelinedavis6607 OMG Pet Smart??😅😅😅 I would never let Pet Smart train any animal, and neither should anyone else. If you knew my story, you would feel the same but then again maybe not. Fk PetSmart.
@jacquelinedavis6607 ALL dogs need to be leashed no matter what and no matter where! not just pit bulls. in most places it's the law. I really will never understand why people walk their animals unleashed just because they behave, leashes keeps other people and animals safe AND their own furry lives safe too!

Looks like the algorithm is chasing you with angry dog stories. It's like living in a Steven King thing. 😱
Owning a pit bull or other game bred hound is like owning a gun, it’s a blessing, liability and huge responsibility, it’s not for everyone
Game bred hound what are you talking about pitbulls were bred for fighting plain and simple originally they were for herding large animals like cattle but the breed has been selective bred for fighting they are not hounds hounds are bred for hunting
Also I don't know what you are saying when it comes to game bread hound. The statistics don't show them to be biters and they are not bread to bite. That's not part of hunting.

After just watching Jacqueline Durands story last night about being attacked a few years ago and her trauma I'm glad these dogs were stopped before anyone got hurt.
Someone did get hurt a few weeks before this incident

This is bad owners. Charge and jail owner!!
What would you jail the owner for, the dogs getting loose? They didn't bite anyone. The trigger men might be enhancing the story.
I think you are a herd follower.
Pit bulls should not be in neighborhoods with children
You're correct.
poor dog ownership is rampant in utah the last few years. i always run into ppl with their dogs off leash in neighborhoods and trails. had to cross a street bc an off leash dog was running right for us and while the owner tried to get a hold of her dog a second dog, a rottweiler, came barreling toward them from behind and attacked her dog. the lady had to run away down to another street. ITS CRAZY OUT HERE they need to start enforcing leashes bc im tired of it
NO bad dogs, just BAD owners who have not trained their dogs‼️💯🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺
Some people aren't fit to be pitbull owners in the first place.
Poor dogs. Their owners failed them, if you can't train your animals do not own animals, period. Glad nobody got mauled, sad it had to be at the cost of their lives.
You can't train away genetics. Pitbull ownership should be controlled like bears, tigers and wolves.
Exactly! People are blaming pitbulls and they clearly don't realize how loyal pitbulls are and HOW MUCH TRAINING THEY REQUIRE
Well, they did not train the dogs and now they don't own the dogs. You made your point.
@@Zae_Alex I'm unsure what loyalty has to do with anything.
@colemcdaniel8214 It has absolutely nothing to do with anything. It's just more lame excuse making
Its not a stereotype, its the breed and bad owners only make it worse. Two separate attacks on our old street. One went after a blind man and his seeing eye dog and the other incidents the pit went after an older couples little dog and shook it like a rag doll killing it. Both instances the dogs owners said “he’s never done anything like that before”! They are unpredictable and deadly
@@johancuellar6358 its not the breed. My pitbulls haven't bit nobody and I've had several. It's how you train them. Pitbulls are hardheaded so you have to return the behavior. Be a little hardheaded back and pitbulls open up with love and security. Most loyal breed you'll ever have idc what you or anyone says. A well trained pitbull will hunt down a pack of wolves just because they were in your yard and i know because I've had to back my pitbull up against wolves.

I've lived 5 decades. Been around A LOT of dogs in that time including stranger's dogs and stray dog encounters. Only been bitten twice.
Both times it was a pitbull.
Isolated incidents. Most people are bitten by small dogs.
Anecdotal evidence.
@@xaviermccloud4586pretty sure he’s referring to bites that did damage. I work in peoples homes and have been for 17 years, worked at a vet before that. I’ve been bitten once, by a pit bull. He grabbed onto the back of my thigh and didn’t let go for a bit. Bit into it like a chunk of meat. I didn’t blame the dog or owner because I was in HIS home and his dog didn’t know me. I consider myself only bit once over my career, I’m not going to consider all the times a chihuahua or shihtzou nipped at my ankles. You have to consider the actual threat when weighing those facts.
Edit: I don’t hate pit bulls, I’m just sharing my experience. I’m also aware they are a banned species in most Southern California apartments where I live for a reason.
The two times I’ve been bitten it was cocker spaniels…go figure
Small dogs have no remorse😂🤣@@GenerationDown
I was almost attacked by a pit bull. It cornered me in MY garage. If I had run, it would have killed me. It ran at my legs, growling and barking, and stopped within a few inches of me. The only thing that saved my life was not moving. Then I slowly backed up away from the dog. Called 911 and on the phone with a dispatcher but no one ever came anyway. I swear Angels were there and helped me to not react.
Irresponsible owners are a big problem in my neighborhood as well.

@@barbaramitch7818exactly
Im tired of people making excuses for toxic and abusive owners. I love people but stupid is stupid and people know better.
If you adore dogs then you know they are all the same species of canine. There are very minor differences.
Pitt bulls were bred to be dog aggressive but not human aggressive. They are super eager to please people otherwise they wouldn’t fight to the death for their owner. Dog aggression has been fading out of the breed for a long time and can now be prevented with early socialization.
If there is a put bull with human aggression something is seriously wrong. I’ve been attacked by a Carolina dog, a weiner dog, a huge black lab, and a blue tick.
But with all the pits I’ve been around in the south even as a child none of them so much as bared their teeth.
Heck with that track record, I’m tired of people making excuses for dogs. Dogs are just dangerous to have around, and you never know when they are going to lose it
(I am a dog behaviorist. I added the last part to drive home the absolute stupidity of your statement. And what I said above is true. Human aggression in a pit bull is super concerning but people like you let the abusive owners off the hook because of the breed, ignoring the breed was never known for attacking people or kids. There are many other breeds that go after kids. But you wouldn’t know because you don’t actually know what you’re talking about. Using your logic paired with the actual facts of reality, we shouldn’t have dogs period because so many are known for attacking children when not properly socialized. Pitts just aren’t one of them. But keep letting the humans involved off the hook. I promise when they get another dog, even if it’s a golden retriever, it will have the same issues of aggression because)
Pitts are the sweetest dogs. It’s humans you should be worried about
The owners should be charged!!! I have 2 awesome Pittys! And they ARE NOT ALLOWED BY THEMSELVES!!! AT ALL!!! They NEED A STRONG OWNER!! Should NEVER be bread willy nilly… and need to be raised with LOVE RESPECT AND GREAT SOCIALIZATION!!! AND NEVER MISTREATED!!
What do you mean not allowed by themselves??? Pit bulls are constantly discriminated against and they are the most loving sweet protective animals their are.

There is no reason for them to be out of a pen with a top. They can crawl over 6 ft fences.

Ridiculous. Pit bulls are amazing dogs and have jumped in front of bullets & saved their families on many occasions. It takes bad owners to have dogs do this.
It's all about how the dogs are treated. Many people foster the aggression and its a ego thing. It used to be German Shepherds, then Dobermans, and then Rottweilers ... As of late the ego dogs are pits. I know a lot of pit bulls who are sweethearts. Two who are service animals.

There’s some good pit bulls out there but they were bred with DNA that’s unpredictable. There’s owners out there that shouldn’t even have them. They Just like the mean look with the cut ears and spike collars, but don’t train them at all.
😂Your comment is pure diarrhea of the mouth!
You’re just saying what you want to say.
What you said is a complete misunderstanding. Dog breeds are developed through selective breeding for specific traits. Pit bulls were bred for strength, agility, and tenacity, qualities valued for tasks like bull-baiting. The traits they have, can make them more dangerous but they aren’t the only breed that can do what they do. Unpredictability was never a desired trait. The idea that they were intentionally bred to be unpredictable is simply false and misleading… nice try though dude!
The behavior of any dog, including pit bulls, is primarily influenced by factors like environment, training, and socialization. Just like any other breed, pit bulls can be wonderful, loving companions when raised with care and responsibility. 100% all in how they are raised and treated… 100% owners fault!
@@SpOculus33dont forget that bully's were bred and kept over the century's as baby sitters around the house or homestead. Helping watch over the children of attacks from preditors in the form of man or beast, as most of the adults were out in the fields working all day. ..
We need to adopt legislation that states classes are required to own certain breeds of dogs. If people have not passed the classes they can not own protective or known aggressive breeds of dogs. And STOP the back yard breeders of ALL breeds of dogs.
@@ZooTube2024 Interesting concept!

My elderly aunt was attacked by dogs right outside her front door. Dogs went inside her house and continued the attack. Her legs had wounds for months.
I am so sorry to hear that. I hope she is able to heal mentally and physically. If in the U.S. where there isn't socialized medicine, I hope the dog owners have to pay all her expenses including counselling.
I've seen pitbulls there were very good and intelligent dogs. I own land in a mountainous area separate from where I live. I have to pass through another person's property to get to my land. He had two bitbulls, a male and a female. This first time I drove up the male came out and barked a few times at me. I spoke to him in a quiet manner and he stopped and looked at me and then started doing what recognized as signs of friendliness. I talked to him for a few minutes. In the meantime, his mate who was chained (he was not) had moved in from of my truck. At this point, I looked at him and then at her and motioned to him to get her out of the way. He went over a pushed her out of the road! Never saw a dog that smart to take a request from a total stranger like that. In my opinion, it's all in how the dog is treated and trained.
@@christianeaster2776 Thanks for sharing. Great prints!
Pretty much every time a dog kills a kid or baby it's a pitbull. Insurers will not cover homes with pitbulls even halfbreeds. Maybe it's correlation not causation - trash dog owners are far more likely to own pitbulls - but there appears to be an issue.
Well said man, I see a couple of people shaming the pitbull breed and it's just ridiculous. Owners are responsible for their behavior. Not the internal DNA lol pitbulls are SUPER loyal. Even loyal to strangers.
There is a reason the female was chained.
A female usually initiates an attack and entices the males to continue the attack.
My neighbor had 18 dogs at one time and his females were always the initiators of barking and charging. And of course once the males heard the barks , they came charging from wherever they were sitting.
@@b33b1m0v3 Humans are the same way.

Dogs are dogs. All can bite and for various reasons. Larger dogs will inflict more serious injury. Some breeds don't have an off switch. That's the difference.
The owners should be fined, these are obviously dangerous animals that weren't properly secured despite previous attacks
The pup's cannot be held accountable for the lack of responsibility by their owners.

No leash, no rules, stray dogs are dangerous.
The owner should be charged, then sued in civil court by these two victims of that owner’s negligence.

The reason these dogs are banned in my Canadian province. Owners who already have them, have to have muzzles on them while they are outdoors. Im an animal lover/activist but you cant change genetics or centuries of inbreeding especially when their sole purpose was for guarding, violence, not as pets. Their makeup with the locking jaw makes them more dangerous than other dogs when they attack. They will lock on, shake and tear you to shreds. Their jaw strength is too strong to pry open. Bad owners, bad pets.
@@ednaatluxton4918 their jaws don't lock do your research.
You're certainly right that you can't change centuries of inbreeding and bad genetics, you're a great example of that.
It's astounding how you got every single detail about pitbull history incorrect. Even how long the breed has been around. They don't have a locking jaw either, do you know anything about animals at all???
I once read that unadoptable pitbull were being fed into Canada frequently m US, on the West Coast without any records.
It's not genetics. It's poor, irresponsible ownership.
You are absolutely correct - it is genetics. I've discussed the issue with a senior veterinarian. He said that he has observed a pit that was dangerously violent at the young age of 6 months.
It's truly amazing that the low-life trash people are revealing themselves on this issue.
Why were those dogs out, unleashed & unsupervised? How were they not in AC quarantine, if they bit someone 2 weeks ago?

What happened post the experience?
Ever discover who owned the pit bull dogs?
Australian cattle dog or Australian shepherd? I'm really curious about the situation because this behavior is so out of character for these breeds it would almost have to be trained to bite people. That would really make me call animal services on the owner.
It doesn’t matter what breed a dog is. All dogs need training. I’ve seen so many people lately who get a dog and make no attempt to train them to do even the easiest things. The larger the dog is, the more important it is to train them. It’s sad.
Very, very dangerous breed.
Some people should not breed if they can’t understand that human life trumps “dog life”…
Having a pitbull for a pet is as dangerous as owning a rattlesnake for a pet.
Right and then people wanna say a pit bull is just as friendly and safe as a family golden retriever
😂😂😂😂 haahaha no it's not. Pitbulls aren't venomous FFS
The saddest stories are people who have pits for years then suddenly attack. People don't want to face facts.
The comment is just dumb.
There's something really wrong with pitbull owners. 🙁
Yeah, they chose pitbulls.
1) Stop buying dogs you are unwilling to exercise and train every single day.
2) Under no circumstances allow your dog to roam by itself or with one or more other dogs.
3) Stop buying dogs from people who do not make TEMPERAMENT a priority.
4) Do not allow your dog to be left with a child unattended at any time.
5) Understand that dogs have their own minds and a mouthful of sharp teeth with naturally occurring predatory instinct and it is up to YOU to prevent that instinct from drifting toward humans.
A huge percentage of bites and attacks could have been prevented if the dog or dogs were not roaming the streets, and if they were supervised, and if the owner had done just a BIT of research into dog body language.
Owning dogs has become such a culture, but has somehow come without the culture of treating dogs like dogs! Yes they’re a family member but they’re not human! They need training and socialization and a realization that some breeds just ARE more risky than others because that’s what they were bred for (hunters, guardians, etc.) and having a breed meant to work in something that had to do with killing another large and aggressive being purely as a pet or fuzzy friend is not recommended unless you know how to train dogs, yet this type of dog seems to be highly attractive to people who have no idea what they’re doing.
BE EDUCATED on the dog type you choose.
Lastly, the APBT and similar breeds went from the standard of ANY aggression toward humans being a reason to be culled, to aggression toward humans being COMMON and even allowed to be bred! It’s breeding and having puppies for no reason other than to make money and then extremely poor management and bad breeding practices, and the folly simply continues with people who buy these poorly bred pups because they’re cute but have no idea how to train and manage them and probably don’t even care.
Breed-specific legislation doesn’t work because while it may remove attacks occurring by pit bulls, it doesn’t remove the root cause: humans being irresponsible and not caring enough to do whatever necessary to protect other people and prioritize the safety of others over their own reputation and desires.
Stop being selfish
Stop buying dogs if you’re just trying to seem tough or cool or think people will think of you a certain way because you own some type of dog
Stop breeding if making money is one of the reasons you do it
Stop breeding and buying pit bulls as at-home pets unless you are an experienced dog owner, can catch predatory drift, have a good dog trainer, and you have the ability to keep your dog securely in your yard/home and can exercise it for 1+ hour of intense exercise every single day.
It’s not the dogs it’s how they are raised everyone thinks they are bad dogs because of there names it’s how you raise a dod . I hate that those dogs was shoot but really glad a kid was not involved or no one was hurt.
@@hubertanderson7044 Evidence points to both a dog that is genetically engineered to be vicious and irresponsible owners. Both conditions are usually present in the case of serious dog attacks.
Tragic, so irresponsible to let dogs run loose , owners should be charged
It’s always pit bulls. I’ve known some who are sweethearts but we have to face facts. These dogs are vicious.
If you have dogs. It’s your responsibility to keep them safe.
And not create a problem for others !!!! Not all people are comfortable with dogs. Know your pets. They look to you to take care of them. It’s NOT the responsibility of your neighbors to put up with your pets !!!!!
Just people that have pets that shouldn’t .
I think if they had beagles, their neighbors wouldn't need to be armed for beagle attacks.
I pulled a dog off an old lady here in idaho it had bitten her and then they ran off before i could even shoot but she went to the hospital and the cops were called and they couldnt do anything about the dogs, literally unless it was against livestock there is nothing you can do besides civil court those dogs still get let out and roam the neibourhood just waiting for their next victim
Dog lovers are always defending these killer pitbulls that they are gentle and shouldn't be feared.
@kareenwatson6084 Ignorance = Fear
We live in the sticks, a neighbors dogs killed our goats, a couple weeks later killed and maimed another neighbor's goats. Those dogs ended up dead the next day. Unfortunately law enforcement didn't want to pursue a charge against the dogs owner.
Owner's fault, not the dog's fault, not the shooters' fault. Irresponsible owner.
This pisses me off to no end. Pit bulls, when raised right, can be sweet lovable canines. People raise them to be vicious monsters. About 11 years ago, I rescued two pit-puppies. My friends took one each and I still see them to this day. They're lovable and kind dogs.
Poor dogs, they weren't socialized by owners 😢
They did what they had to do to defend their lives. You can tell that they didn't want to harm any animals they just didn't want to get mauled by a huge dog
No one should own a pitbull. You're selfish and irresponsible if you do.
Right laws and regulations should be passed that all pit bulls must be put down
@@patrickscopas9133 you're selfish, simple, and silly.
My son and daughter in law have pitties. They are very loving, gentle pets. It really is the amount of time you put into them, just like every other dog. If you don’t train them to be loving and gentle and just let them run they are bound to be wild.
I see it as untrained animals owning animals. Sue them.
I am a pet sitter, and i have worked with all sorts of pitties… even had friends pits in my home with my cat, and baby… the worst thing that ever happened was the dog ate diapers.
I have been attacked by a dog, and the temperaments of the breed certainly didnt dictate an attack… it was bad training, and maybe abuse as it was a retriever.
These dogs were bad owners, and this happens all the time, they’re just getting stigmatized because they happened to be pits, when the problem is 💯 percent the OWNERS, every single time. Dogs who act like this havent been socialized… also these dogs weren’t properly secured, CLEARLY. If you think the dog is the problem, then you need to get humans off an alter they dont belong.
Portland Oregon has had several pit bull attacks lately.....one child died and a lady almost died losing part of her face & one arm had to be amputated.......pit bulls are dangerous and I'm tired of hearing..."its the way they're raised'" every breed can be under that umbrella but bully breeds, Rottweilers, Masstiffs are prone to aggressive behaviors in packs and are unpredictable. I have a friend that's owned a dog training/kennel and heads up the humane society for the county she lives in. She puts down all bully breeds if no owner comes. She said after 40 years of doing this she knows that these breeds are dangerous and unpredictable
What a shame. Pit Bulls are naturally sweet and protective animals! Imagine what they must go through to turn them into Beast! Very Sad!
anyone else remember the story of the lady taking care of her son's pit bulls on Halloween??
“Humans get angry, dogs go mad! “.
This is why we have leash laws. If you cannot keep your dogs confined or on a leash and under your control, you are responsible if your dog is injured or killed.
It’s never the dogs fault, it’s always the owner.
Pits should be illegal.
If they aren't on their own property they are fair game if they are a threat.
There should be a national Pitbull and Rottweiler DNA registry. It should have all living pitbulls DNA on file to prevent anything like this. This way any unlicensed breeding can be traced back to owners. If you own a pitbull or Rottweiler you should be required to register their DNA with the government.
Where was this?? We were in Ogden bring my mother home from the ER (hospital) at night & 2 dogs that looked like pitbulls came after me & my spouse. We couldn't even get my mother out of the car. There is a 911 tape of it. Both me & my husband stood near each other & didn't know we were both talking to 911 the dogs were so viciously loud. They even went after a police officer. We were told later that they did nothing about it but made a report & told us we weren't the only 1 to report a problem. 1 other person reported. Though we learned there were many more that didn't report that had problems w/these dogs. The owner was told 1 more time & the city would get involved. Shortly after the dogs disappeared from his yard. We were wondering if some1 else took the dogs home. The police told my husband that we were in the right 2 shoot those dogs if we had a gun. Wonder if these were the same dogs????
They should ban pittbills in the USA, very dangerous dogs!
Any dog can be dangerous. I've known so many pitbulls that were just loving dogs, would never hurt anyone that wasn't trying to break in.
People are attacked by smaller dogs more often than larger ones.
@@mattburns2968yet 95% of children who are mauled to death by dogs...are killed by pitbulls and similar 'terrier' breeds. There's a reason insurers won't cover them even when half breeds because they're objectively far more dangerous.
@@xaviermccloud4586 Pitbulls cause more severe injuries and are the #1 dog breed that causes loss of human life. There is a reason most homeowner insurance policies exclude them as a pet, whereas if you have a German shepherd or golden retriever etc, you're more likely to still have coverage.
@@mattburns2968 That was my /s Yeah I agree. It's all about training them with love.
If your dog is contained on your property, it is not a danger or IN danger. Ownership comes with responsibility.
The only time I've ever been attacked by a pit has been them jumping on me to snuggle on a couch. All dogs start out as good dogs, just some get unlucky and have bad owners. Poor pups. I've bit by a golden retriever after I'd asked the owner, standing next to the dog, if I could say 'Hi' and they said 'sure, he's a sweet boy'. It's not the dogs.
This was 100% the OWNER'S responsibility. I and my brother have both owned pit bulls, mine was pit bull mix, my brother's had pure bred pit bulls. ALL of our dogs were friendly, because that's what they were trained to be, fully socialized, trained around kids.
The owners taught their pits to be menaces, either through direct training, neglect, or a combination of both.
I'm not trying to make light of the incident, and the two that shot the pit bulls did what they had to do, I'm not denying it. What I'm saying, is that they should DEFINITELY press charges against the owner, because he/she is responsible for what happened.
Just another example to hate pitbulls.
The victims did what had to be done.
Pittys are ok AS LONG AS YOU CONTAIN THEM!!
Pit Bulls should not be running around loose. What if it has been a child playing.
❤ I knew this pit bull stuff would lead to trouble. Why .would any body have a pit bull? Maybe just a juvenile thing. My dog is tougher than your dog.
They are incredibly sweet dogs when you treat them correctly. Just a little anxious and protective of the people they love. Unusual for them to attack when not protecting something.
Had a PB/ red lab mix . Smart dog .
I have a pitbull terrier that I found I'm the streets. He has never bitten anyone and has been around all types of people.
When I see one on a massive chain, it tells me the owner must have an unhealthy fear of being attacked by people.
80% of time they are losers trying to act tough, trying to convey the idea that they're tough like the dog, that's it. It's like people who buy lifted trucks.
Put your dog on a leash. Irresponsible idiocy.
Not all pitys are bad. It's the owners who r bad.
The pitti owners should absolutely be charged with neglect
My son sustained serious injuries as a result of an attack from a Japaneese Akita/English Mastif cross breed in the UK. All I had to protect him and myself was a vacum cleaner pipe. The pipe won.
