If the shocking images will only move people to speak out and act against this horror perpetuated against innocent animals...can't our advanced culture find other means of entertainment than watching 2 domestic animals kill each other...or maybe this is an indication of how advanced we really are...that some are entertained at the painful, cruel expense of another living being...how sick!!!!!!
Stands for "Breed Specific Legislation" Lotta good info here, altho most of it is skewed to be sympathetic to the cause. http://www.pitbullproject.ca/bsl.htm
This is the dumbest shit I've seen on Glumbert yet. As a veteran law enforcement officer I have been witness to and investigated several dog vs. human attacks and 95% of those attacks were from pit bulls. One of the worst was a three year old in her own fenced yard. The pit bull jumped the fence and nearly ripped her right arm off. She was lucky, she survived. There's another case where an elderly woman was in her home when she was attacked by two pit bulls. The whole attack was recorded by 911 operators as she was screaming for her life. In Los Angeles a teenage girl was killed by a pit bull while she was sitting in her car.The pit bull escaped its yard and the gang-banger owner tried to deny it was his dog. I myself have been bitten by a pitbull while on duty. I survived, the pit bull didn't. I'm not bragging but I have had to put down four pit bulls on four different occasions because my life or someone else's life was in jeopardy. I'm pretty sure if you got to Youtube and search for "pit bull attacks" there will be plenty to be disgusted by.
it's sad, but i believe that the only way to control those owners who abuse these dogs is to do it through the dogs........i say this with apologies to all those thoughtful owners who properly train their pit bull terriers......all the pit bulls in the world are not worth one human life, no matter how decrepit
I totally agree with the statements you have made. It sickens me when I see on the news where a young child is attacked by these dogs. People should not even own these dogs if they can't controll them!!
I strongly agree. I live in an area, nice and all as it is, that the moron contingent own pitbulls strictly to feel like they're tough. They train them to be vicious (not the dogs fault) and then are outraged when it attacks someone and it must be destroyed. I think one of the biggest problems with the breed is how terribly inbred they have become. I'm talking about the dogs, but that seems to hold true to a lot of the owners.
I agree that Pit Bulls are a very dangerous dogs. But so is every large breed when compared to toy breeds. I think that the best way to approach the problem of vicious dogs to create new criminal offences punishing the owners of dangerous dogs for the acts committed by those dogs. For example, Marjorie Knoller, whose two massive Presa Canario mauled Diane Whipple to death in San Francisco, 2001, murder case is still ongoing.
There are lots of similar videos on YouTube trying to portray pit bulls as harmless unless the owners are mistreating them, and it's just not true. I myself have known very loving, gentle pit bulls, but even if trained properly, you can never be sure they will not go crazy and tear someone apart. Their breeders for many generations have tried to breed those aggressive qualities into them.
If I owned one of those dogs, I would at least take the precaution of never allowing them to be with young children. It seems they can attack just because they are afraid that the child might compete with them for the affection of adults, and it seems pit bulls can be too needing of affection and approval.
There was a beautiful young college student that was on TV about 3 years ago who had raise a very sweet-looking pit bull from the time she was a puppy. The dog never showed any signs of aggression. The news program showed the dog playing with the girl, and the girl showing the dog great love and affection... then, one day, for no apparent reason, the dog was in the girl's lap, and lunged up at the girl's face and tore off part of her lips, nose and cheek... just one bite... and then stopped, and made no more aggressive moves.
The girl's mom called 911... just a minute or two later, the dog brought a tennis ball to the girl's mother, as if nothing was wrong, and wanted the mom to play with her... needless to say, they had the dog put down. If any other dog were to snap like that, it could leave some serious bite marks, but a pit bull is a whole different story.
Pit bull owners such as some of the ones in this thread keep making excuses for the dogs as if it's always the owner's fault, but it's just not true... it may not be the dog's fault, either, but if we're going to be having dogs in our society, it should only be breeds that were never bred to be vicious.
As for the comments made by "INSULT", he sounds like one pathetic fool. If I knew who he was, I'd lock him in a cage with the worst of those pit bulls and let them tear that sadistic wimp apart.
Then, as a law enforcement officer, why aren't you trying to find the assholes that are training their dogs to fight and maim and even kill each other? These dogs are violent because they are trained to be killers! Any dog can be violent if trained and tortured into being so. You, "Mr Law Enforcement", are a loser.
I Noticed that you didn,t mention how many people are mauled by police dogs every year.Maybe you don,t care that these dogs are just as dangerous and unpredicable as Pitt bulls. Why do armed police officers need traind attack dogs anyway. Not to mention the fact that many police department are using trained Pitt bulls. I really doubt that you are a cop.
I'm sorry to say that you prob work in a inner city and that is the main breed that you see but realy its not any of those animal's it is the human that breed it and trained it. This breed is awsome if put in the right hands. And i can say that working with animals for the last 3 years not only in a humane socity but in a vet clinic that i'm more scared of a small dog such as a chihuahua or a cocker who will bite you with no warning and will bite multiply time and not stop. So you should really look a you number because many animals bite every day they just are not reported so next time look beyond your area and think about what is not being reported.
i"m A PITBULL OWER IF i EVER KNOW ANYBODY WHO DOES THIS TO A DOG ANY DOG,THAN LET THE PITBULLS GO AFTER THEM!!!!!!! ALSO THEY SHOULD BE LOCKED UP FOR LIFE IN A DOG CAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!
If any living creature is exposed to enough pain, taunting and fear, it is capable of horrific things. Its sad that some people have experienced a life so disturbing that they find pleasure from others suffering.
I have had a pitbull boxer mix for the past 10 years and she is the best dog I could ever hope to have. She is the most loving caring dog I have ever had the pleasure of being able to share such an experience with.
The images are very sad, but the autor only see one face of the problem with this dogs : the ILEGAL FIGHTS, its stuopid think all the people put his dogs in this horrible show, and the author want or not, this dogs are very dangerous for the normal people, many kids, other dog, even adults gets hurt by this animals, here in Colombia( and many countrys ) the owners of this DANGEROUS DOGS, dont apply the laws about the care, and many people die and sufFer irreversable hurts ins his face, and his lifes.
As for the pitbull attacks it seems to me that the owners were the ones at fault. Any animal dog or ottherwise is raised to be a certain way. As for eseltzerr's comments I do not doubt them for a second. However what one needs to consider is that each and every amimal is raised in a certain way or manner. It just so happens that the pit happens to be a very strong species. It's not their fault that their owners happen to be the worst that human kind produces. Give fault where it belongs. Not the animal but the owner.
I have 2 pitbull . my bluenose is a real good and loving dog but will protect my family. my other one is still a puppy bring her up the same as him. IT ALL IN HOW YOU RAISE THEM .
An Omaha woman remained hospitalized Tuesday after being attacked by her own dogs in her own home. She suffered injuries to her arms and legs.
Fifty-year-old Victoria Stewart was attacked by her pit bulls on Sunday.
She says the dogs had never been aggressive before but she told police that over the past week the dogs had been acting strange.
No one can be sure why the dogs attacked their owner but some believe the fireworks shows may have played a role. Many dogs have a difficult time coping with the explosives.
According to police reports, Ms. Stewart was on a living room chair watching TV when her dogs, Thunder and Lightning, attacked.
Mark Langan, vice president of field operations for the Nebraska Humane Society says this is one of the worst bite situations he's seen.
Langan is reluctant to put the blame on fireworks but he says, "The dogs had been very skittish ever since the Fourth of July with all the fireworks around her, the Rosenblatt fireworks, which were less than a mile away from her address."
Both Thunder and Lightning have been euthanized.
The Humane Society normally waits for 10 days to euthanize an aggressive dog but officials say these two animals were in a state of hyper-aggression and they were affecting the rest of the kennels so they were put down quickly.
The danger in a pit bull come with it major strength and size. Sure every dog has a different personality. Some have better tempers than others, but when a cocker spaniel or a collie get mad and bites someone, their comparative small size and weak strength always result in only minor injuries. The proof is that you don't see these breeds in the media on a weekly basis for having seriously injured or killed someone. Sadly, the same cannot be said for pit bulls. And why do people have to own a pit bull. There are many many different breeds that can provide the same love and are much more docile. Might I suggest the reason people own pit bulls, even people who would never consider fighting them, do it for the "tough" image they acquire from owning this breed? Think about that "tough guy".
rabz, Just what percent of pit bull owners are middle aged breeders who enter their dog in shows? I suggest that is it less than 1 in 100,000 pit bull owners. Your comment is ridiculous!
well in the case of the three year old in her yard when attacked, it was said she was straped with a 9 and the dogs were only protecting the sand box for her 2 yr.old brother who was in fear for his life and as far as the elderly women claming to have been put upon by 2 pitt bulls well there is contradicting facts . one being it was actually 2 mexicans on meth that were responible. as far as the girl sitting in the car well that is tragic. now the dog biteing you, reason is you smelled of bacon? being in your line of work its not unreasonable i know i would have cause i love bacon hummmmm bacon.
These pictures make me fucking hungry. Also, they're slightly erotic. I mean, who wouldn't enjoy fapping in a dogs bleeding face and watching it squirm and moan? Hell, if someone has a messed up dog like this, before killing it, send it to me so I can rape it and cook it. I'd really appreciate it.
Pit bull suck ass anyways, they deserve whatever torture they get. If it were up to me, I'd get a bunch of them and lock each one in a cage. Then I'd launch each one in a trevouche and the one that survived the most launches I'd, of course, rape and eat.
insult... it's great you're being sarcastic and all that... but you take it a little too far. Maybe you could work on being a little more intelligent and subtle?
Or maybe your mind is too sick and you're too fucked up to do that?
I can't believe the beasts that do this to these loving animals or any animal I am APPALLED. Why don't they go in the pit and beat the sh__ __ out of each other instead.. I cried seeing those poor babies
Pit Bulls are nice dog .... but there is more than enough factual and numerical proof that they have a great potential to be dangerous. We should not make any legislation on who can own what kind of dog...some people like pitbulls ... i personally find them annoying, too needy and a potential threat ( i feel the same about most pit bull owners too).
Just realize that if I or anyone I care about gets attacked by a pit bull, anywhere under any circumstance, I will not hesitate to kill the dog as quickly and humainly as possible. The life of a dog is not, in any way more important than that of a human. Any pit bull owner should expect their dog to attack someone viciously at least once in their life, including the owner themsleves. Even if you treat a stick of dynamite like your own child .... it will eventually blow up.
Oh and pit bulls are disgusting, too much slobber and ugly body shape.
i did not/could not watch the entire video. My family owned one of the sweetest pitbulls imaginable. However, we knew from the beginning that we were bringing an agressive breed of dog into our house and worked very hard at ALL of our behaviors- not just the dog's. When Zeus died because my idiot brother in law had let him out onto a highway he had topped out at 90 pounds of pure muscle. I have no doubt had he gotten it into his mind to hurt someone, they would be hurt or dead. This is not a breed to be messing with. It is a real shame that people have deliberately chosen to breed in the very worst qualities a dog can have and create ticking time bombs.
incidentally, doesn't anyone remember this same crap going around in the early 80's about dobermanns? it was all over the news how they were dangerous and they too were being banned all over the United States.
If you've never owned one, go buy one right now. If you have any cats, or small children, keep them separated from your new pitbull...
Or not... I don't really care. It isn't my cat, or baby that the pitbull would kill.
I have owned one of these dogs, and I have family who have owned these dogs.
None of us have ever abused them. None of us have ever fought them. None of us have ever done anything besides love them.
They still kill smaller animals, and act aggressively towards strangers.
If this video guilts you into opposing breed specific legislation, I would ask that you at least bother to read both sides of the opinion, before spreading this flawed opinion as if you've done your homework.
Pitbulls are animals which were bred to fight, and kill, the same way bloodhounds were bred to track, and hunt. The same way any animal is bred for any purpose.
These aren't humans. These are animals.
They're much less likely to have the capacity to break their "programming" then we are... and I'm not even so sure we're all that likely to do so.
This is hard to watch. I grew up not having any compassion for animals. My dad didn't care for them so we couldn't have any pets. It took some years but I learned those I have to be cautious of are members of my own species, other humans. To my knowledge, no animals have ever conspired to do me harm. Who breeds these dogs for violence? Who's to blame?
Let me see...of all the millions of dog owners, how can it be that only those owning Pit Bulls (and maybe a German Shepherd and/or a Doberman) are so consistently egregious in their care and handling of their pets that their pets dominate the statistics regarding harmful attacks, as their defenders claim? Owners of Beagles, Bichon Frises, Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, etc., are apparaently only coincidentally quite good at dog-ownership, since those and so many other breeds are rarely involved in such hurtful aggression.
Fact is, as others have pointed out, all breeds have their unique characteristics. Those of Pit Bulls are frightening and unpredictable...and clearly uncontrollable...and so often lethal. Bad ownership might well accelerate their mindless aggression, but in any event, the breed is beyond control in given situations.
Perhaps they should share an environment similar to other unpredictable aggresive animals, like the lovable Panda, Polar Bear, and often people-friendly tigers and leopards...I am reminded of white tiger (leopard?) that unexpectedly turned on his master a few years ago after many shows in Las Vegas. It was so mild mannered up until that moment.
To me, having had to peel four Pit Bull pups from the hair of my miniature Poodle some years ago (in my own yard - thank goodness we had poodles as pets and not show dogs....we let their hair grow long before trimming, a fact that kept my lovely Claudette from harm in this incident), it seems clear these are not your common household dogs, but something quite dangerously different.
I could find myself supporting some sort of restrictive regulations in this regard, despite being otherwise very accepting of our animal friends.
That is how I feel about Pit Bulls. And Pandas. And Kangaroos. And other animals we want to think are domesticated, but who may, as a breed, not be at all.
But that doesn't mean we should turn our brain off regarding each different animals specific characteristics.
Pit Bulls have their reputation for a reason, and anyone who has actually raised one of these animals (raises hand) can attest to that fact.
You might blame whatever minority for this problem, instead of the animal... but there are plenty of perfectly normal people, who didn't believe certain breeds could be the problem (raises hand), who have raised these animals...
And found quite to their surprise, that it IS the breed thats the problem.
As Chaz said... ever seen a Beagle, or Golden Retriever who had as bad of a reputation as a pitbull?
A family member had a great pit bull, she was very special to him and my 2yr daughter old couldn’t get enough of being close to her when we were there. He feed her better then he feed himself. But the local council made a visit, said she had to be dangerous because of the breed, Told him to build a cage with a concrete floor that had to fit some comply with some spec, and lock her in it. Or they will take her away. As if that would not make her aggressive, he had a week to comply. This dog had done nothing wrong except been there for him. They Came They Took Her They Killed Her. This world is twisted!
That's sad. I'm sorry you lost your dog. Laws should never work that way. But in my opinion, pit bulls should be neutered so that their genes can't be passed on. They have been too inbred, and no matter how careful you are with them, they can create monstrous tragedy. Just as Aussies will start herding cattle even if you don't train them to do so, pit bulls have it in them to attack for no reason.
This video is shocking.
I think it speaks more about certain members of the human race than it does Pit Bulls or any dog breed for that matter.
Yes, sure, a certain number of Pit Bulls will be somewhat naturally agreesive - just as a certain number of human beings are predisposed to be sick enough to watch their dogs die in a horrific dog fight!
We should look to ways to fix the mental disposition of those of our own kind who, for whatever reason, see dog fighting as fun, rather than focusing on whether Pitbulls are dangerous or not.
I think the question here is what did the owners of these dogs do to make them so aggresive? No child is born evil, but some humans grow to kill - a result of mental health, up-bringing and traumatic life events. The same applies for animals.
The owners of these pitbulls, that make them fight, should provoke the dog to attack them while all thier friends watch, let it rip in to them for a while and see how they defend themselves - then we will see who is really a "man" and a "hero." Complete Losers.
Wow... You can't just have a set mind about all pitbulls being vicious. My cousin in Mexico has and he is just a sweetheart. And that's beside the fact... Cesar Milan has rehabilitated so many pitbulls and helped a woman who all her life had been scared of pitbulls. In the in of the show he surrounded her with 5 pits and she was amazed how sweet they were. She now has a new outlook on Pitbulls. And Cesar said it's the owner, not the pet. And I've seen Cesar rehabilitate dogs that an animal shelter would just put down. I love all dogs and Pitbulls are a great breed! And yes, I think so too that the song ruined the video. I believe Cesar!
Very shocking... sad... confronting... thoght provoking... heart felt... uplifting... HOPE !! It is true that some breeds are more aggressive, the truth being, the closer ANY BEING is subjucted misstreatment, violence, starvation (of food, shelter, kindness,interaction, love...), repeated and prolonged torture, debased and inhumane enviroment and qualities, they will immitate and emulate such depravity. Dogs are extreamly social animals who thrive social engagement and interaction. Take that away and teach them debase and truely savage qualities and you will get something that is beyond humane control and diabolic. This applies to humanbeing also... They say a dog physicaly resemlbles it's owner, maybe it's not just a physical resemblace of owner... If we humans have bread all these negitive qualities into an animal, how do we take resonsibility for it? Do we wash our hands of it and say "it is beyond our control" and wipe Pitbulls from the face of the earh? Do we then remeber our mistakes and endevour not to create such unhealthyness again? Do we learn? Do we acknowlage our mistakes and endevour to corect, to rebuild healthyness? What do these questions pose for our current world of human beings? What enviroments do we create for groing children? How much are they a product of Debase or Healthy cultures, enviroments, religion, societies...etc Who judges what is wrog/right/lives/dies? Where/how do we apply punishment and willingness to give opertunity for rehabilitation? Have we made mistakes? Do we own them? Who judges us?
In many living and prospering societies, compassion and a willingness to promote healthyess and enoble life, has been a prodominant and common denominator of them. For example, Bagdad the birth place of demcracy. Where all people had some common basic rights, alowing them to be humanbeings...
On wtching this clip, my heart felt as if it was being ripped from my body and flung bloodely on the earth. There I watch it beat my bloods warmth to these misstreated animals. But there is hope that we can do something to heal and recrate healthy, noble Pitbulls again...!.....
I still hold this too for humanity...
I have owned and bread Pit bulls for over twenty years and I think the vast majority of you people are full of shit.You know nothing about the breed, the dog or how to handle them. My Pitts have lived with cats , much smaller dogs, small children ,larger dogs and I have never had any problems. You may think what ever you want about Pitt bulls But the facts never support the bad rep these dogs have. So next time maybe a little research on the breed befor you start spouting bullshit would be caalled for. (just for the record over 200 Pitts have passed through my hands and to my knowledge none have been involved in attacts on animals or humans) So for all you assholes that want do away with the breed, I suggest we do away with you first.
For all you people who defend Pitt bulls, wise up. face180, have you heard no "facts" regarding the hundreds, thousands of times pitt bulls have attacked, maimed, and killed? You choose to disregard it because you have sympathy for the "breed". Where is your sympathy for the human breed? You have been lucky, none of "your" pitt bulls attacked, (although, even you have to admit, "to your knowledge", alluding to the possibility that it could have happened) , but if a pitt bull does decided to attack, the real danger lies in the fact that there is NO way to stop them. They may be lovable, they may be gentle, trainable, and capable of rehabilition. But the ones that aren't are a true danger to society in general, and even to the people who love them. Every "breed" has their renegades, the ones who attack without provocation, the ones who are just plain ornery, the ones who only nip and growl. Pitt bulls have a bad rep because the breed as a whole has displayed strongly aggressive tendancies. Admittedly, not every single pitt bull ever born has attacked. But the possibility of such an occurance is more likely in that breed than many others. Just looking at the built-in power behind those jaws should be more than enough to persuade most people toward another type of dog for a family "pet".
All dogs bite, some harder. Greedy, ignorant humans interviend in the natural breeding process and produced a domesticated breed that does not belong here. Eliminate the breed, but care for the living. Problem Solved
People do forget, dogs have a natural tendancy to attack, it is an ingrained survival instinct. oldschool, I agree. Any breed of dog can be reminded of it's natural instinct. Pit bulls are targeted because of their strength and endurance. It's sad for the animals, they are victims of their environment. Sadder still that there are humans who want to do it to them. I still say, the general traits of that particular breed, aggression that has been fostered in them as a whole, means that these dogs should be carefully watched, and not exposed to situations that put anyone in danger. trainer, yes. This type of dog should not be considered "domesticated". That term indicates safety, which so many of these dogs has proven is not true. I do fully agree, it is not their fault. They are animals, and many times, animals act upon instinct. Which includes attacking smaller, weaker creatures. Anyone who has a pitt bull in the same surroundings as a small child are not thinking clearly. Just read the newspaper.
My uncle raises pit bulls to fight. Well one day one of the pups that was born would not fight (it was not her nature) so my uncle's son took her and tried to get her to fight by abusing her, and let her siblings fight her. My aunt then gave us the poor dog, she was so badly abused and treated that she was even scared of cats. Baby (the dog) couldnt even drink water with out throwing up because of how starved she was. Not all pit bulls are monsters! Most are raised that way! Look at my Pit and Lab mix, she is one of the sweetest dogs ever.
And another thing my older male friend was attacked by a small little dog, and it nearly ripped his whole lip off. So please don't tell me that Pitt Bulls are these, these MONSTERS. EVERY dog can be a monster! Even little cute teacup poodles!
who the fuck gives any of these people the right to do this to the best dog you could ever ask for. i have had a pit for 7 years and i love him more then anything. i think that the cop that left that message should not be a cop if he even really a cop. i am doin school project on the pit and i found out that 26 other dogs get mistaken for pits think about it you fucking fat dount eatin pig. i better not ever catch someone talking like that again
OhDearLord;
This video reduced me to tears.
Its a problem thats only hurting those innocent dogs.
Its not the dogs fault that they are fighting;
Yes, i am aware that they were born to fight, hence the lockjaw situation, but if you train them from when they are a puppy to when they grow up they will refuse to touch you
I should know
Even if you stick your hand in my dog's mouth, he'll refuse to bite down or even move. If he hurts you, he'll make sure you're okay.
Why?
Because he knows
and he cares.
The dogs attacking humans?
Its either they were taught -or not taught at all- that its okay to bite and attack.
Or the human has taught the dog badly (pulling on its tail/fur, yelling in it's ear, hitting it for no reason etc)
First off all of you people on here leaving negative comments about the pit bull have probally never even own one, in which case you have no reason to be leaving any form of opinion. Any other type of dog that attacks a person you never hear about in the news, but if its a pit bull its front page news. I currently own a 3 year old male pit and he is the best dog i have ever had. we live with my wifes brother, girlfriend and their 1 yr old child and there are no problems whatsoever. we also have a smaller dog and they get along great. Its all in how you train your dog, unfortunatly most people have no clue how to train a dog. A human can grow up in a great family, be treated with love and still grow up to be a murderer or rapist or just bad person. A dog is a dog they do what they are taught and react to their environment, if a dog is surrounded by love and trained what to do and not to, then that is what the dog is going to do, its not going to decide it whats do be a rebel a just bite some one for the hell of it. Pit bulls are great dogs they protect their owners like family and can be the most lovable dogs ever.
I didn't see no first suckas............soooooo, First. (P.S. has anyone else noticed how weird the word 'first' is. I dare you, look at it in capital letters you'll see what I mean)
