Dog fighters never say “it’s how you raise them”.
Dog fighters talk bloodlines and fighting styles, conditioning for fighting for hours, and more talk of bloodlines.
Check out sporting dog news /yard and game dog videos. Learn the dog fighters’ language.
When “good” pits like this suddenly attack, dog fighters call it “starting” or “turning on”.
This now-dead pit tragically, simply, “started” and became a good pit bull.
No person, group or business that has the welfare of all dogs as a priority would want more dogs to be born with the man-made birth defect to mature to suddenly became GAME INSANE murderous psychopaths, created to kill, even their own family, for no reason other than that man-made mutation to do so.
Those who support the continued breeding of THE dog fighters’ consistent choice, THE most essential piece of dog fighting paraphernalia, do not have dog welfare or human welfare or even bully dog welfare as a priority.
Tragically their priorities lie elsewhere: income generation, job security, and sometimes at the same dark place as parents who suffer from Munchausen’s by proxy, their need for more suffering and more death, preventable and predictable, but that gives their sick lives attention and purpose.
Geezus Deb..
Pit bulls are a BREED of dog just like worthless dachshunds.
Essentially, your marking something living for death that hasn’t even committed a “crime” yet.
It’s no different than all this going on in the world “he’s black, he can’t be trusted” or ” he’s white and probably a meth addict”.
Having a mother who still works with animals on a daily basis, I can testify I have witnessed SEVERAL pit bulls from the time of my infancy to adult hood live full solid lives without ever being a danger to anyone. Furthermore, I have also seen a great many pit bulls beat and abused by humans and even this was not enough to turn the dog.
I don’t have dogs at this time (more of a cat person) in fact, I probably won’t ever have a dog. But what your saying is NO different than going into a maternity Ward to kill infants because “Well, they could grow up to be serial killers”.
Get over your hatred of dogs and move on.
John,
I don’t believe Deb was being a dog hater based on her comment. She only gave her opinion on why dogs become attackers, or killers for that matter; if not by a birth defect, by humans does this happen!
If anything, you making the statement that dachshunds are worthless makes you a dog hater, no matter what the breed is! And no, I’m not a dachshund owner. However, dachshunds can be companions and in some cases, service dogs…good luck Making your cat a service cat; But I bet he/she makes a great companion for you?
Before calling out others, make sure your not being a hypocrite at the same time and make sure you have your facts straight! Just saying….
Omgosh! Debbie Bell, PERFECTLY STATED! The 911 call is bone chilling at best! The man was on top of his car after being bitten on the chin! There were nearly two deceased victims. I cannot imagine the suffering this innocent lady endured. I also cannot imagine the pain and fear this kind man felt upon discovering this scene before fleeing for his own life! Traumatizing on every level. When these type of dog owners try to defend and justify the breed ESPECIALLY in sight of what just happened they clearly have never lost a loved one or been mauled themselves. Sadly, until they do they will continue to foolishly put themselves front and center at this ridiculous argument. Condolences and sympathy for both victims and their families at such a senseless, preventable tragedy.
Being concerned with the behavior of a specific type of animal is not “anti”-anything. It is primarily training with ill intent that creates a domesticated species from acting out in an inappropriate and sometimes deadly manner. Some traits, however, are inherent in a bred and cannot be trained away by the “Dog Whisperer” himself. All of this must be considered when owning an animal of any kind! The other issue is the ability to control an animal. Allowing animals to roam free is not having them under your control. Not being able to stop your animal should a confrontation between the animal and another animal or the animal with a human occurs, is also a serious concern and a deal breaker. You do not have a constitutional right to own and or house any type of animal you chose. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT AN ANIMAL CROSSING YOUR PROPERTY LINE AND CRAPPING ON YOUR LAWN! A WOMAN WAS KILLED! DYING HORRIBLY I MUST ADD. The ownership of an animal is not a game of chance. An “I hope my animal won’t cause someone harm” attitude is just not good enough. If you are not able to secure your animal properly, then the animal must be placed elsewhere. If you as an animal owner or potential animal owner do not understand this, you should be placed elsewhere. bobby
When I was 12 years old I was attacked by a neighbors dog that I played ball with almost every day. This dog knew me very well and I thought loved me as much as I loved him. I don’t know what went wrong this particular day to cause him to react, I hadn’t done anything different. This dog brought the ball back and dropped it for me to throw and when I bent down to get it he jumped on me and bit me on the face causing 8 stitches. After that day every time this dog saw me he would chase me growling, and it scared me to death. The dog was very big (about 85 pounds). I made the decision even as a child that I wouldn’t let that incident deter me from loving dogs and I’m so glad I didn’t because I have owned so many wonderful best friends in my 54 years, everything from German Shepherds, Chow Chow’s, and more recently Pitt Bulls which I have 2 of now. I would say to anyone that if you love and nurture, and socialize a dog, that dog will be a product of its environment. By the way the dog that bit me so badly as a child was a Dalmatian! (You know the ones that ride on fire trucks?)
Ms. Conners, I understand your desire to believe that a well-trained dog is no danger to another animal or human, but this is simply not true in every case. Some animals will revert to instinctual behavior that unless supervised properly can lead to tragic results. I doubt Mr. Holloway allowed the dog to roam freely in the hopes it would cause someone harm or even kill. I don’t believe he is an evil man. The story ends the same regardless of the lack of concern shown by the animal’s owner. People become highly defensive of the breeds singled out for condemnation. The underlying truth is that some of these breeds are not controllable. They are too large, strong and fierce to stop them when the animal acts, what may even be out of character, aggressive and mean. Sigfried and Roy had lions without incident for years and we all know how that worked out. The bottom line is, can your animal be controlled? In this case, there isn’t any question as to how Mr. Holloway’s animal acted. Mr. Holloway is responsible even if 999 of 1000 people believe that bred is banal. This animal ripped her throat, killing her. Then tried to rip the throat of the man who was trying to help this poor woman. I’m not certain what point you were trying to make Ms. Conner but in a civilized society, one should be able to walk from one’s car to one’s front door with being killed by what is supposed to be a domesticated animal. This was a fail and not in a vacuum. Animals require supervision and without they are not viable pets. And that’s that! bobby
