Man loses legs after vicious dog attack in northeast Harris County

[London]

Thread addressed this.

Yes a gun is not sentient as we have posted before.

Because you own an animal that is capable of such damage one word doesn’t change: responsibility.

What are owners in the eyes of a court room after a bite? Reasonable. The owners actions or lack off is to blame.

Saying the dog is to blame while never posting a solution for irresponsible owners is the same game gun control folks use.

I’m going to use a term that fits your view of the dog and is already law. “Dangerous breed”. How did that dangerous dog get out? How come that dangerous dog was dumped and now a problem? The answer has two legs.

As already mentioned I’m natural on the breed. I’m not a fan. I have however never encountered a problem. So I must conclude those were good owners.

Let’s go deeper into ownership. Let’s ban the dog. Let’s have no pitbulls in this country. How does this fix people’s problem of being irresponsible?

I'll support banning any gun that is known to disproportionately leave its property and attack innocent people all by itself.

You're a funny guy! My dogs don't leave their property!

Nice to know you support gun control.

Ok. Appreciate the debate.

I have been bitten by:

2 German Shepards (appeared to be just for the hell of it)
1 Lab that was hurt and I picked it up to get it out of the road
1 Lab because I was messing with it's Jack Russel buddy
1 Pittie (for who knows, but seemed to be territorial)
1 Shitteroo (cuz it's a spoiled lil phucker that doesn't like to be picked up unless it's HIS idea. This one doesn't break skin tho. Wish his momma would get out of ALZ lockup!)

Cuz white people are tasty

To make those that have issues with pitbulls happy we have to ban the breed. That in itself is interesting. I wouldn’t care...but is it right?

Stats and an opinion got posted by an attorney that points out a high percentage of people he represents as pitbull owners are not great people.

If people haven’t voted to ban a breed, and the owner makes a mistake and that mistake cost a life, why is it ok to put the blame on the dog when we are the species with higher intelligence that took ownership of a potential deadly situation?

Maybe people assume by thinking this I care about the attacking dogs life. No. It needs to die. Then the owner needs to get legally destroyed.

I’m done. A lot of y’all are very smart people. Much smarter than I am. I just don’t see any wisdom in the pro banning of pit bulls. Emotion is high, logic and data is lacking. I’m not saying my data is any better. Just don’t see the data to think banning a dog is going to make y’all safer. Worlds going to hell fast and a large percentage of pit bull owners will cause a neighborhood issues in other ways.

A pitbull nor an AR15 is the problem. Irresponsible owners are.

Well, you have met me in person and even spent time at my house, would you think I fit that profile if some of the unsavory types of people that typically own pit bulls?

No. That’s a debate on its own and a dangerous one. But I view the bad pit owner as a criminal. Insert each person’s stereotype.

I’m glad you quoted me. I forgot to add something.

People who run puppy mills are probably the biggest issue. Dogs that can’t be dogs and are sold for fighting and to other criminals.

My pit I think she was left in a cage used for breeding. Freedom was new to her. Playing was new to her. At five.

She has attached herself to me. Kind of annoying at times but I get it. I’m her person now.

 

[Sam7sf]

I honestly didn’t want her. Didn’t feel like having another dog. But someone dumped her and she didn’t follow the guy that found her. She stayed by my feet. I was all: well fuuuu...lol

I would say most of the pit bull owners I know personally, (and some are even members of this forum.) are not unsavory types of people, and are responsible dog owners.

Owning any dog is a responsibility to ensure the safety of the dog, as well as the public. It's not suppose to be a responsibility taken lightly. I am fully cognizant that if my pit bull did attack a person, that from his size and strength that he could do massive amounts of damage to that person. I also realize Diego has a much different personality towards other people than my last pit bull, "Bandit" did.

Softy!

It is pretty amazing how tough they are. They can take some punishment.

When a pit, an admitted generalization but not non-existent much less rare, is game or adrenalized their survival circuit is bypassed. They become mechanical...killing machines. They did not evolve but were built by breeding for such.

The only wild animal that comes to mind wherein this is exhibited is an adrenalized grizzly bear.

Almost anything else will disengage to survive if possible.

Attacks with pits as the actors often continue when shot until hemorrhaged out or the CNS is compromised.

I believe that is singular to the breed.

My experience vs online data though. My experience has personally been positive. The online data suggests what I feel I see driving down xyz street. There’s a difference between people I choose to be friends with and everyone else. My bad for not clearing that up.

That right there is a worthwhile argument. Good post.
