Goto the link for the rest of the story (TM1 not going to break copyright laws like you peeps do all day).

A pitball attacked me and my three dogs while walking but lucky he was a wimp and I found a large stick (think log not stick).

It's a shame that it wasn't Kurt Russel instead...he would have wiped those pit-bulls out.

But again this raises the issue of having pit-bulls as pets. I think it's stupid, find another breed if you love dogs so much.

And I hate it how they use the word' destroyed' to describe putting a dog down, it sounds really harsh.

Read alot post on another site (Digg) some say it lack of training but others point out
that these dogs were bred for fighting, and when in packs (2 or more) they go into fight
mode. And pitbull attacks are a high percent of serious dog attacks. I say sterilized
them all (oh owners too )

And extremely sick story but seems to be true is men (very common in African American culture here in Texas) is dog fighting. A number of local radio stations call in
sales show will not let you advertise a "free dog". Why you ask? Because these sick Mother F***er go pick up the dogs and train their fighting pitbulls with them. Which means the dogs are killed. That way the pitbull faces only low risk in training.

Pit bulls should be restricted for sale.

You people are canicidal, pitbulls are no more dangerous than other dogs breeds of that size. Pitsbulls however are the medias whipping boy. Pitbulls are several different breeds, so the attack rates must be higher, because we are taking into account the attack rates of all those breeds. I cant believe people are teaming up on poor little dogs.

I tend to walk my 3 big outside dogs 5 miles or more a day (raining last two days ) and in all the time we have seen loose dogs bark at us/move to wards every other day and only one time has a dog attacked. A pitbull bit two of my dogs on the side. I grabbed a big stick and he changed his mind. Oh my dogs were very passive and did not fight or bark.

Urrggh.

I think we should set some Daleks on the pitbulls......

I think the story is typically over emotional, the pitt-bulls were probably going for the terrier in the first place not the kids. This still means they are dangerous and should be controlled though.
Thanks for the tip about the `free dogs` I didn`t realise that happened. Now I will have to go get any dogs advertised as free in order to save them....

I don't know where we get the idea that for a breed to be safe, there must be no news stories of one attacking anyone on the entire planet in the last 20 years. The world doesn't work that way. Any group of two or more dogs is likely to attack a dog that they don't know. It's hard to find any group of two or more that won't. They don't have to be "bred to fight" to do this. All that they have to be is dogs. There are people who use these incidents for political gain and they don't care about the safety of dogs or humans.

The other video I posted showed a pitbull quiet happy to attack a kid.

This has more to do with loose dogs than which breed it is. When considering a ban on pit bulls, New Zealand did a study on serious injuries by dogs. They found that Labs sent more people to the ER than any other breed. Is it because Labs are more viscious? No, of course not. It's because people allow their kids to abuse them, play unsupervised and probably let their dogs loose.
Loose dogs hurt other people especially when they get that stupid idea that the whole neighborhood is their territory.

A black lab attacked a women walking her dog near my sisters old house. So it maybe
true there is no increase risk with pitbulls.

My original intent was to honor this dog George that faught these attackers not to trash pitbulls in general.

Yeah, I personally don't like Pits but more due to their owners. Someone up there suggested the Pit was going after the Jack Russell and not the kids. Who knows, but we know that loose dogs maul children and those kids had candy. Also, in that infamous mauling in San Francisco where the woman was killed in her apartment hallway, the owner also allegedly sustained bites from her own dogs. So, in any respect, George protected those kids.

When it's not a suspect breed, that gives people a false sense of security.

Poor baby.

not true. If labs put more people in hospital, its becuase there are very many more labs. The national sport of NZ (after rugby and cricket) is duck hunting. There are lots of labs.

Labs instinct is to retreive. A pit bull's instinct is to fight. Its what they are bred for.

Its absolute balderdash to say that a lab/pointer/mastiff no less dangerous than a pit bull. Mastiffs are sooks that really want to be a lap dog. Pit bulls are just mean.
