Percentage of dogs killing people is high. (high as He!!)

Makes me sick to look at. I would exterminate the breed from the face of the earth if I could.

I wouldnt trade my pit bull for nothing. He is the most well mannered dog. Very protective over my kids and my yard....the water company even makes appointments to check my meter

Hopper, just out of curiosity, if your little fuzzy pitt bull left your property one day and killed a child, how would you feel?

Just curious..Why does the water company make appointments?

My neighbors had a pitbull till they went out of town.

Cuz pits like to keep a tight schedule. Duh...

couldnt agree more. Love those people that say my dog is loving and never would hurt anyone in there family only for the dog to snap one day and kill someone. the numbers dont lie a pit is the most likely dog to kill a member of your family or someone around it.

My bad i had a brain fart.Dont know what i was thinking.

I challenge you to click the above link and read through the stories of the 25 people (mostly young kids) that were killed by pit bulls last year. Heck, just read the first 5 stories.

Here is one example......."6-years old, was bitten on the head by his uncle's pit bull and died several hours later at a hospital in Palo Alto. The attack occurred at the boy's grandparents' Union City home where he and his mother had been staying for an extended period. The boy's uncle, Keala Keanaaina, is a San Mateo police officer. His seven children and wife also reside at the home. Cousins he was playing with at the time of the attack said that Nephi had been "ridding the dog like a horse," when it suddenly threw him down and clamped onto his head. Once alerted, Keanaaina took a hold of the dog by the jaw, and the animal released. The 2-year old male pit bull named Kava was the child's "best friend," according to his mother Tilema Selu. She said the attack came as a shock, "like one best friend turned on the other." A Beware of Dog sign is posted on a fence at the family's home. Neighbors always maintained the family owned two pit bulls, though this was not confirmed by police in media reports"

How f*#kin stupid do you have to be to leave your kid with a babysitter that has pit bulls?

Appointments are easier than hiring replacement workers...

That's happened around me a few times over the years.

Must just be a weird coincidence

My neighbors had the law over there the other day.Later on he walked across the yard and said somebody stole his blue pit puppy,was wondering if i saw anyone come to his house.

Even if it's just a 1% chance of an attack why would you take that chance esp with kids ??????

That's why when I worked for the water dept I always got the sharpshooter shovel out of the back of the truck when I got out. It was my equalizer. they usually caught on after you knocked them down the first time,

I personally have no use for pit bulls.

I agree but i was curious if his answer was because it was protective...which i would take as its been aggressive towards the meter readers.If its been aggressive at all towards anyone then you are a complete idiot to have it around kids..Hell if it aint been aggressive "yet" i still think it is stupid as hell to have one around kids,but thats your business.I just hope to not be reading about any of yall getting attacked one day.
