Yes. . . Yes, they are. So NOW what? Pitbulls. . . You either love ‘em. . . or you hate ‘em. . . There don’t appear to be any “shades of gray”. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone EVER say, “Pitbulls? . . . Ah, I can take ‘em or leave ‘em,”. . . First of all you can’t ”take ‘em” ANYWHERE (forget about LEAVING them anywhere) . . . It has been MY observation that if they are TAKEN anywhere, people generally scatter. Have you ever seen someone at the park or walking a pitbull in a public place? Hey!. . . This might be the PERFECT opportunity for a FART Analogy:

It’s like if ”someone” (or YOU) ever farted in gym class in high school during the “jumping jack” portion of calisthenics.

All the students are  standing in their specified place in the “Rows of Humiliation” (In the park scenario – you are having a picnic lunch with your innocent and helpless children)

Then you  begin the exercise. You are “minding your own” and jumping to the count  (In the park, you just set out a very neat & organized picnic spread for your helpless and hungry children)

- THEN it happens -

• In gym class: 10. . . 11. . . 12. . . PPFFFtttt!

• At the park: Owner arrives “on the scene” with pitbull in tow

. . . This is where the outcome of both scenarios intersects (I draw a parallel and get to the point of my analogy)

In both instances, you will note that a perfect circle or “buffer zone” is formed around you and the perpetrator (i.e. the “farter” or the “pitbull owner”) to make ample room and keep a “safe” distance from someone who has just taken it upon themselves to RUIN EVERYTHING. . .

In gym class the imaginary boundary is formed by those who surround the guilty party. They bounce sideways, keeping count. (PPFFFttt!. . . 14 *bounce* 15 *bounce further* 16 *further*) If you were to peer down on the class from the rafters on the rope you are forced to climb (then chafe your legs horribly when you decide it would be “fun” to slide down) , it would almost look like a well-synchronized dance, with the “Belle of the Ball” dead center. But YOU know the scoop. . . You all had Beanie~Weanie Casserole for lunch.

In the “Death Dog from HELL” scenario, wherever the pitbull and its owner walks – a rush of movement would envelope them as if people were doing “the WAVE”. If people were lying down, they would rise and move away from the immediate path of the animal and it’s handler. Only to be seated again once it had safely passed. (Please note sometimes people scoop up their kids with one hand and leave the park altogether, swearing NEVER to return. . . SOME people do that) Were you to be a little bird flying overhead in the summer sky looking down on the park that day, you might think you were witnessing a field of wheat. . . Or perhaps an outdoor “Main Event Boxing Match”, Like when boxers enter the arena with their managers and entourage and the crowd parts to make way. Okay. . . So you got the visual?. . . Yes?. . . But not the point. . . (that’s okay)

Pitbulls and Pitbull owners are viewed, in our society, as a bunch of FLATULENT REJECTS and boxing enthusiasts. Is this FAIR?. . . nope. . . probably not. Do I CARE that it isn’t? . . . nope. . . probably not. Do YOU? . . . apparently YES. . . at least the people in the town I like to call “Bakersfield” do. I like to call it “Bakersfield”, because that is what it was named in 1869 after one “Colonel Thomas Baker” (a confirmed pitbull lover, finder of gold stuff and colonel of some type) . . . AND. . . because if you could hear the way I say “Bakersfield”, you’d understand how much I HATE it. . . I say it like all whiny and nasally. Like a kid teasing his little sister about playing with dolls:

“You still play with BABY TOYS!” sounds a LOT like “You still live in BAKERSFIELD!” (my family HATES that)

I’ve been asked a couple times (I’d say I’m often asked – but that is a LIE and to be honest I was only asked ONCE – by myself. . . like 5 seconds ago, when I thought it up) “What’s with all the FART and CRAP analogies?” For any of you that have known me through my blog since its inception a year ago, you undoubtedly know I suffer from “Stomach and Bowel” disorders. Therefore my mind often goes there. . . because the rest of me doesn’t. . . go. . . ANYWHERE. Some of that was to have changed during the course of a surgery I had this past week. Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell my surgeon which procedure he was supposed to do. I’m not sure if he was hungover from the night before or still drunk . . . All I know is that my abdomen looks like raw hamburger meat and the side-effects I am suffering are worse than the disease it was supposed to control. Let’s just say, I think I got a hysterectomy and that I can only swallow while facing West. . . at around 3 PM.

All Seriousness Aside. . .

Because of my “Down Time”, I had the opportunity to do a little more reading than usual. (For the record ANY is more than usual) Due to a wonderful SOCIETAL GLITCH, it seems that BAKERSFIELD (where I -gulp- live) has cornered the market on “Crazy Folks and Pitbulls”. I mean, I know there are plenty of both EVERYWHERE, but if you were talkin’ “per capita”?. . .  I think we’d win some sort of prize or something. My son pointed out a local news story and subsequent “public forum” on the internet regarding the incident that I just HAD to share. It’s about a “PITBULL ATTACK”. I understand that I have a whole SECTION on this site devoted to bashing Bakersfield, but this topic really spoke to me. I think it also speaks to a large segment of our society.

Remember. . . There seems to be TWO schools of thought in regards to Pitbulls. . . One school is attended by people that say, “Pitbull?. . . AHHHH!!!!! Get me a GUN!”, while the others seem to be more Peace-Loving Folk that might say, “Pitbulls? . . . Ahhhh, lovely creatures. I have 12 of them myself. Last year when our baby boy came down with ‘the Whooping Cough’, our mama dog ‘Buttercup’ could sense little ‘Jasper’ was sick. . . I’ll be darned if she didn’t breast feed that boy and make him ‘Right as Rain’. . . His mom woulda’ done it, but she was in jail that summer for check forgery . . . Go on and look for yourself. . . That’s ‘Jasper’ and ‘Buttercup’ over yonder. . . killin’ a cat. . . pitbulls have a heart of gold, I tell ya’ “.

So here is the story as I read it yesterday. (Please note that the person responsible left explicit instructions that republishing this content VERBATIM, was PROHIBITED!) So instead of reproducing it that way I’m just copying and pasting it “WORD FOR WORD”. Dude! It’s a pitbull story! You ain’t gonna’ win a Pulitzer! I am including the subsequent community “backlash” from the news, as it was shared in the comments of the “Newsroom Forum”. Not being one to sit idly by, while people made complete IDIOTS out of themselves, I may have accidentally shared my OWN feelings on the matter as well. (My thoughts are highlighted in RED – for better hallway vision – sorry, Breakfast Club thing)If you do NOT find the following remarks entertaining, funny or remotely interesting. . . well, find something else to read. . . I’ve been sick. . .

OILDALE, Calif. — An Oildale man is recovering in the hospital after being attacked by two pit bulls. The attack happened around dusk Thursday night at a home in the 500 block of Wisteria Street.Family members who witnessed the attacked told ABC 23 that 29 year-old Luis L**** was attacked unprovoked by two pit bulls. According to L****’s girlfriend, he had been to that home many times before to talk to the residents who live there and nothing ever happened with the dogs. 

“He just walked up to the door and knocked. They opened the door and one of the dogs went after his leg. Luis knocked off the dog from his leg, and that’s when the other pit attacked his face and I started to 

“He just walked up to the door and knocked. They opened the door and one of the dogs went after his leg. Luis knocked off the dog from his leg, and that’s when the other pit attacked his face and I started to scream, said Victoria Flye. 

Dr. Vip Dev, a local plastic and reconstructive surgeon got the call to do the emergency surgery late Thursday. L**** had extensive reconstructive surgery done to his face, nose and lips as a result of the attack. 

The attack happened in front of Flye and L****’s daughter who said they are now dealing with the emotional scars. What makes matters worse for the family is that they don’t have medical insurance. 

Dev said he is not going to charge the family for his services to repair L****’s face, which would have cost more than $10,000. 

*sniff* eh-hem, *sniff* A nice “human interest piece”, right? Good Samaritan/Plastic Surgeon takes an afternoon away from the golf course, to complete $10,000 worth of surgery for FREE. Keep in mind he can make that up by double booking some “augmentations” and a tummy tuck. Then there’s the TRAGIC story: Pitbull attack opens up debate on legislation. . . blah, blah, blah. . . 

Here’s what my neighbors (and I) had to say. . . joined in progress. . . 

Doxin
I can’t wait to see all the stupid comments from people who will say ignorant things about Oildale.  

JOHNNY

How funny you think people are going to put down Oildale … but your comment alone puts down Oildale … because you already have it in your mind that people think Oildale sucks … The only Ignorant thing I see is your comment …

Ben

Whatever Jonny, YOU SUCK

Betty

Oildale DOES suck but that’s not the issue here. That attack could have happened anywhere as there are numerous individuals around Bakersfield who own these dangerous dogs. They are a big reason why having a gun is beneficial. Shoot them down and they’re no longer a problem.

Al

I don’t like these dogs at all. I was almost attaceked by one of these dogs, thank god the owner was quick on his feet to grab his dog that had exited the yard to attack me.

sal

Thank you to Dr. Dev, for being compassionate! I wish there were many more willing to do likewise!

Mysteriiia on Wistieria

Hey we dont watch UFC over here on Wisteria. With the firebombers and the heroin addicts and crank freaks, we have put up a kind of betting store in our front yard. And now with dude who tried to kick the dogs owner. Dog was defending its owner. He is a poor decrepid older man about 66 years old and has to carry an oxygen taknk with him all over. Dude deserved it.

guest 1

u are a idiot

Guest

How quick those pits turn from being nice to attcking. Thank God for that dr. If those pits had got the little girl they might have killed her. Hope the dogs are put down. Pits should be outlawed!

REAL ISSUE

People who can’t spell the word “attacking” should be outlawed from posting. Oh but wait…that would be jumping to extreme conclusions! Kind of like you stating that a particular breed of dog should be outlawed. When will people understand that the underlying issue here are irresponsible HUMANS?!?!?!? Who makes their dogs aggressive? HUMANS! Who allows them to attack other animals or people? HUMANS! If they do ban pit bulls, guess what? Irresponsible HUMANS will find another breed to do the same thing with! When all the pit bulls are gone, what will be next? Dobermans? Rottweilers? German Shepards? Chows? Until the HUMAN aspect of this issue is dealt with, this will be an ongoing problem, regardless of breed.

Betty

I agree with everything except for the first sentence. LOL. I don’t believe outlawing any breed is the answer. We have to be more responsible and take precautions as humans. Regardless of how you raise pit bulls ALL of them will attack when provoked or trained to attack at any time (ie pit bull fights). Also, just like humans, dogs (regardless of the their breed) have emotions and an allegiance (sp?) to their owners so if you plan on attacking the owner in their presence prepared to get attacked. On the flip side, I think it’s wise for us to have a gun or STRONG pepper spray handy in the event we are attacked by pit bulls while just walking the street. We do have a right to protect ourselves when the owners of these animals are being careless.

billybob

real issue you stated that beautifully

darackious

your right its not the breed its the owner

guest

You should have written “the underlying issue here is (not are) humans. Subject and verb agreement. “Is” goes with “issue” (singular). So go easy on the person that misspelled attacking.

ryan

Good dogs

Those dogs did nothing wrong. Especially if it was in fact an elderly man they were defending. There is nothing wrong with saying that those dogs are good dogs and giving them a bone. If they were out on the street and this happened, it would be different. They were in fact on their property. Not condoning the animals for doing the right thing could be bad. Lets say they are punished. Let’s also say that certain folks want revenge because they are too stupid to just learn their lesson. Now these folks go and try to extract revenge, but wait, the dogs were punished and think it wrong to defend and the outcome becomes even worse. Huh? GOOD DOG’S.

I really find it hard to believe that this person who learned a valuble lesson, has been to this residence several times before without incident, can say they did not intice, provoke, or have threatening posture towards the home owner or the dog’s.

delano man

Put the dogs to death if the owners can’t control them.

sylvia
Most owners of pitbulls will say that their dog is gentle. I believe them, but when you see two or more together they are acting as a pack. And a pack of dogs are out to hunt. Whenever you see two or more dogs out unsupervised, BE CAREFULL!!! Educate your children and protect your small pets. 

education is key

This is not a “pit bull” issue. All dogs have a pack-mentality. The weakest link must go, that is how it is in nature. You can have a group of dogs that all grew up together and all love each other, but if something triggers a fight, they will all gang up on the weakest one. That’s just the nature of the beast. Anyone who owns a dog (regardless of breed) or are around dogs, should learn more about animal behavior and what triggers certain behaviors. There is almost always a sign before a dog will attack.

ryan

There is nothing wrong with Pit bulls, they are very protective. If any dog feels threatened, especially in their own home or yard, it will defend. No harm should become either dog.

guest

Yeah, ok until it is you or a family member. These are vicious dogs. It is proven over and over again. Why can’t people get normal dogs that are bred for temperament? It seems blacks, and white trash like to have these dogs. It seems to be a status thing going on. If I ever saw one of these dogs near my property we would just shoot it and leave it for bird food.

mikey401

So you think blacks and poor whites have to have these dogs huh? I am a black man and I have 5 pits and I control my dogs. That is a racist statement because I know people other that blacks and poor whites who own pits. You should get educated before making stupid comments like that. ANY dog will attack, it is a proven fact that small breed dogs account for the majority of dog bites for your information. Not all of us breed our dogs for aggression, some of us just like the dogs for who they are just like a lab owner. I grew up with these dogs and I can tell you that if you raise a dog to attack and fight it will do that. But if you love and care for your dogs they will love you back BETTER than some humans!!!!!

guest

You are absolutely right. But pits still have it in their blood to be aggressive and they will eventually display that. And small dogs do account for a lot of dog bites. I just don’t understand why people have to have a “PIT” when there are prettier and better temperament breeds available.

guest

“Prettier and better temperament breeds?” Who are you? The force-your-opinion-on-other-people-police? Everyone is entitled to their own opions. What do you consider to be a “prettier and better temperament breed?” The pit bull scored an 85.3% on the ATTS (American Temperament Testing Society)….Guess what LASSIE got? A 79.4%! Oh wait…what about the Tinkerbell the Chihuahua? A 71.1%! You might not understand why people have a “PIT” when there are better breeds out there (in your opinion) but guess what? Opinion is a two-way street! We might think the same thing of your choice of “prettier and better temperament” dogs.

guest

The truth must hurt; you seem so offensive. You are probably one of the losers that own one. You probably put more pride in your dog than anything else you have or breed like children.

REALLY?

To GUEST who made the comment about “blacks and white trash” – Unless you have something with some actual substance to contribute to these posts, just stay out of it. By making ignorant comments like that, you just validate that nothing you say is worth listening to. Learn how to communicate with respectful and impactful words and maybe someone will take you seriously.

guest

Based on observations with communities I pass through and the type of people I work with and for I believe I am right on with my comments.

Betty

This is to the “nice” individual that said that blacks and white trash wanted pit bulls. Well, I’M black and I don’t EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR want a pit bull. In my personal opinion they are ugly and vicious. Also, there are many other BLACKS, whites, hispanics, asians, etc. that feel the same way I do. It’s not appropriate or relevant to generalize a certain group of people to justify your objections. Facts have more power. Use them.

guest

Ok, it is a deal. If I knew where you lived I would drop some tainted food over the fence for your dog. Of course you love him until it attacks your family member. I hope it does so I can say “I told you so.”

rick

This Ryan guy is now at the point he’s actually blaming the
victim for provoking the dogs. that’s rediculous. He had been
there several times before. The dogs are dangerous and
left this poor (litually) guy scared for life. The breed can’t be
trusted. 2 or more create a pack mentality it’s proven.

S. Castro

I can tell you are a pit bull owner by the ignorance of your words.

budman3a

I agree with you ryan. I have had Pit Bulls going on 43 years now. I have never had a problem with them. I have people come to the house that were intended on causing harm to me, and would have if not for my Pits getting between me and them. LOVE the breed….

dave

STUPID.

guest

Thank you! You said it.

Guest

To Ryan and Budman3a…….I just hope that your so called dog PIT’s dont kill a kid because it is just a mater of time that a traned killer will kill outlaw them all

ryan

Lol, you people are missing the whole point here. You are acting as if these two dogs were on some kind of killing spree. Firstly, they were in their own home, yard, property. Secondly, the person who learned a good lesson stated that he had been there (the said residence) before and had nothing happen. To me that statement tells all. He either provoked the dogs or made some threatening gesture. If you would hurt a dog for doing what it is supposed to do, then the next time you have intent on hurting these poor animals, may they know its coming and bleed you out. 

tom

Sfter you put the dogs down maybe you can put the rest of Okiedale down.

DID THE ARTICLE SAY IIF THAT LAST NAME WAS MC FLYE

Dr.Dev should be commended

I do not have Pit’s any longer. I breed Chow Chow’s with Dingo’s. So if all the people who have unnecessary hatred for Pit’s or any intimidating dog that you judge on first impressions or are just plain ignorant to, ever have the pleasure of meeting one of these even more beautiful dogs and come across them as being the simple minded that you are, you better have had made peace. These Dingochows are highly intelligent and would see right through you, trick you into their personal zone, know you for what you are and dispatch you. These dogs are the most friendly animals to have. They love children, not because they are half Dingo, but because it is in their nature, as with most all breeds, to love and protect. Until the foolish come calling and pay with flesh and sinew. So keep that in mind the next time you go out to harm a dog and get yourself schooled. Also ask yourself, “Who has the bigger brain?”

American

Seriously, Ryan, if your going to continue posting ,Can you learn to spell??

danof89

To “dude” commenting on the “dude” who deserved it. . . Dude. . . really? Also to the other “dude” commenting that people are “pit-bashing homosexuals” for hating pit-bulls. . . shouldn’t you be pickin’ up a trick on Union or dropping your kids off at their grandparent’s house right about now, so you can go over to you homey’s house smoke a couple blunts and choke down a forty or two? I LOVE when people defend pitbulls. . . because people are idiots. Don’t get me wrong. Not ALL people are idiots. Just people that own pitbullls. (You will find that the pitbull owners who own GOOD pitbulls will not be offended by me saying that – Partly because they can handle criticism with a certain sense of maturity, but mainly because they know we live in a world with blathering buttholes who will stop at nothing to “prove” THEIR dog is different) Get OVER yourselves! They are animals. They can SNAP. Do NOT try to dispute that. . . You can’t. There are too many mutilated 3 and 4 year olds out there that bear witness to that FACT. As far as “the ‘Dale”? . . . Sure it sucks. It’s a vast, cavernous wasteland inhabited by soulless, vacuous eyes waiting day after day by their mailbox, like a scene from “Groundhog Day” on the off chance their WELFARE check came a day early, only to relive that day OVER and OVER until they can get another “fix”. (I KNOW. . . I have neighbors) Pit bulls are animals. They can kill. Stop trying to train them to kill. . . But just so I don’t misspeak, the decrepid 66 year old on oxygen was going to “hurt” the owner of the pitbull? Did I get that right, Punchy? I have a 4 kids, live in Oildale and let EVERYONE know – If their Pitbull is loose around my house – I EXPECT you to hold me accountable for EVERY single thing I do to it. . . To the other guy commenting on who would beat whom down the street. . . A Pitbull or a pedestrian?. . . My money is on the dog catcher and the cops. . . Maybe not the first time, but they will catch up with you eventually – But hopefully not to identify a loved-one’s body.You folks humor me. . .later

Mutilated 3 and 4 year olds should have had better parental supervision. I will not deny that dogs are unpredictable, but I will question on why the young child was un supervised or out of their yard. Sometimes dogs get out of their area. Please do not assume that a Pit or any dog that approaches your property is a rabid beast. If you cannot discern the two (rabid or wandering dog) maybe that owner of the dog should not be held accountable for what befalls you, if you were to improperly handle the animal. Don’t get me wrong, if the dog jumps your four foot fence and procedes to attack, then twist it’s head around backwards. If it just wants to roam and be free, go on a longer walk for instance, it should be allowed to do so. Again think of who has the bigger brain

may

If anybody is going to have pitbulls, they should do so very responsibly because obviously they can be deadly

B

Pitbulls are awesome animals I have had 2 and raised one of them with my children and he would not do anything to harm them.The problem with most of you ignorant people is you stereo type any dog with a a large head is a pitbull. It might be part pitbull but its not a full breed pitbull. Do some research on pitbulls and you will see for yourself.

guest

B…I agree. Too many people don’t know what a “pit bull” actually is. If it were properly bred, it would have a temperament true to the nature of the breed. There are so many backyard breeders who know nothing about this breed and are just trying to make an easy buck, at the expense of this breed.

philippe igoa

These dogs are a menace, and I can’t believe the people that defend these dogs, saying they’re gentle, and they only protect the master’s home and property. That’s CRAP! Several years ago, my saintly was walking her Shnauser/Pomerian mix in a NE neighborhood directly behind Compton Jr. High. If anyone is familiar with the are, one block’s residents can be very nice, and the next block there are broken down vehicles parked on lawns, the houses are not as well kept up. You get the picture. Anyways, my mom had the ill fortune of turning into one of these neighborhoods and it wasn’t long before she was met by a pit bull who had no leash, and was running towards her in the middle of the street. Fortunately, my mom’s dog, like a warrior, stood its ground, and eventually someone, not the owner was able to subdue the dog. My guess is that the owner didn’t want to come out and face my mom or the owner was not home. I’m wondering what would have happened if that dog had attacked my mom? Fortunately someone came out to rescue my mom, and between my mom’s dog and this nice gentleman, possibly my mom’s life was spared. I’m not sure that another resident would have gotten involved. I say we shoot these dogs first, and ask questions later. I’ll deal with PETA, or the courts for my puishment later!!!

shoot now, ask later?

Wow…you sound like a really intelligent individual. People with mindsets like you are a menace to society.

guest

Well put!!!!

guest

everyone needs to stop about pit bulls beings so dangerous. They are not dangerous… the OWNERS are! The reason you always hear about pit bull attacks(or any other supposed dangerous dog attack) is which one of you big strong men or women would willingly go in public and say that crazy possessed chihuahua dang near made a buffett outta you?

American

Really? Are you serious?

guest

you know what I am just sick of everyone stating that ALL pitbulls are dangerous. No they are not. The OWNERS are. Any dog can be made violent. I adopted a pitbull that was at one time used for fighting. She was the sweetest dog up to the day she passed away. I was in my kitchen once and heard a thud over and over, ran into the living room and my 1 year old was pounding on her with a wooden massage ball. All my girl did was look at my daughter put her head down and went back to sleep. Yeah that just SCREAMED dangerous!

billybob

i too have a pit and a 3 yr old grandson and those two are inseperable he can climb all over her and she will just turn to him lick him and go back to sleep but you are right about one thing they are very protective of their family and home but so are german shepards,labs,rotts and yes even golden retreivers but joey gangbanger has got ahold of this breed and created a very bad rep for them but i remember back in the seventies people were saying german shepards and dobermans should be outlawed because of them attacking the bottom line is it is not the dogs that are the problem it is the HUMANS that have them

danof89

Okay, I thought I was done. . .I’m not. . .Parental Supervision is CRUCIAL. The mutilated 3 and 4 year olds I was referring to could have just as well drowned in their pool. I was referring to statistics. They are statitsitcally dangerous animals. I think there is an underlying problem here and I see it as a common thread throughout these postings. Pitbull = Poor and Ignorant. That isn’t necessarily the case. But why would anyone NEED a pitbull for protection in Oildale? I lived all over this god-forsaken ‘burb. I’ve lived in huge Metropolitan cities too. The fact is the OWNER “SHOULD” be held responsible for their “pet’s” behavior. Don’t we mandate that parent’s are responsible for their kids skipping school? If you want NO ONE to be held responsible, but the victim. . . well, that just bypasses stupid and goes straight to the heart of the matter. . . “NO ONE likes to take responsibility when something goes WRONG”. If all pitbulls did was sit around sniffing each other and peeing on your floor, this might not be a TOPIC at all.
If an old man knocked on your door and told you to “Knock it off with the noise”, what would you do? Shoot him in the face? Take a baseball bat ot hacksaw to him? Oh, I forgot. . . this is Bakersfield. People need to get a clue. Borrow one from someone. Just stop making excuses for dogs you can’t control.

guest

excuse you… My husband and I pull in a not too shabby 80 thousand a year and we have a pitbull. My sister and her husband, who is fire chief in his city, have a pitbull. Each of us have gotten a very solid college education. We live in Oildale. Would you like to rethink that Pitbull = poor and ignorant? Other than that ignorant remark I agree with everything else you say. I don’t understand when the victim became the one to be held responsible.

danof89
Oh, for the guy that was inferring that “race” had anything to do with MY statement? (even if it wasn’t me you were referring to). . . get a grip. 40′s and blunts are taken in abundantly in Bakersfield by a diverse group of people that I find annoying. Many colors, many creeds, many car washes paying for funeral expenses. Ignorance IS colorblind.

afailingsystem

Kill off pitbulls and their owners who always claim “they would never hurt anyone”

you_are_the_failure

Because of people like you, there is “a failing system.” Get off your high horse and get a life.

guest

Yes, afailingsystem. Right on.

guest

Pitbulls are not “good dogs.” They are hunters. When I sit in the livingroom of a friend of mine with a pitbull, that dog watches my every move. More inportantly, he watches my daughter, who is five, very closely. Sure, they may be protective, but their instinct is to kill. They go for the throat, not usually the legs, like predatory animals such as cougars. They should not be pets.

guest

Does anybody hear ignorant rambling?

guest

NO, I do not hear ignorant rambling!

guest

I have a chihuahua that would stare down a lion…. what’s your point?

PHILLIP

I wonder-was Mr. Luque friend or foe? Did he knock on the door to visit with the old man or confront him? I he exhibited threatening behavior, the dogs were being protective. All of the witnesses seem to be Mr. Luque’s family members. The old man may have been the intended victim.

danof89

I’m done thinking it through, but I find your resume impressive. Stereotyped as White Trash is a bitch too. I failed to mention one thing to the guy talking about the stats on small dogs and biting. I knew that stat (as it has been bounced around as long as pitbull owner’s have been able to read – I think the mid 80′s) Small dogs may very well bite more often than pitbulls, but a chihuahua would be a lot less likely to bite half your face off. Good topic people and to Ms. MBA (I’m assuming you’re a female) keep shattering that glass ceiling. Good for you. If you’re not a female, then congratulations on excellent taste in accessories.

Sky’s the Limit
Let’s think this through for just a moment…it is true that “pit bulls” (by the way, their real name is the American Pit Bull Terrier) have a fighting history…in no way, shape, or form do I condone dog fighting or the cowards that find entertainment in it, but…if you do your research on this breed you will find that this breed was NEVER EVER bred to be aggressive towards humans. In the fighting pit, these dogs must be handled by humans, one that would turn on a human was not tolerated. It is unnatural for this breed to show aggression towards humans. Unlike breeds such as the German Shepard or Doberman, the pit bull was not created nor used for human protection. DOG AGGRESSION IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM HUMAN AGGRESSION! Are there bad pit bulls? Yes. Are there bad Poodles? Yes. They are DOGS. A dog is only as dangerous as their owner allows them to be. The pit bull is a breed that is very special to me….no other dog in this entire world is as misunderstood as this breed. I own rescue pit bulls and I foster pit bulls (yes, plural because although this breed tends to show dog aggression, someone who is willing to dedicate to training and fully understanding any breed they own, not just a pit bull, will be able to manage “dog aggression”)…they are absolutely wonderful dogs!…if you know what you are doing. Do I believe that just anyone should own this dog? Absolutely not! It takes a very special, and RESPONSIBLE person to be able to properly care for this breed. Pit Bull – the word alone evokes many different emotions in people, and unfortunately, the majority of society has been misinformed about this dog. Why blame a creature who does nothing more than try to please his master? Why not hold the “responsible” human accountable? Let’s just give all the irresponsible dog owners (who, if they are raising an “aggressive” dog, are probably involved somehow in some other illegal activities) a “slap on the wrist” so it keeps happening over and over. Irresponsible breeding and reckless ownership are the reason why this breed has such a negative image.

The pit bull will excel at ANYTHING its owner wants it to excel in. Owner wants their pit to be some “champion dog fighter,” so be it…that is what that dog will be. The owner wants it to be a home guard dog? That’s what it will be(which, typically, would not be a good idea with ths breed because they are normally human friendly. However, if the dog is improperly bred as so many pit bulls are, human aggression can be provoked). Owner wants their pit to be a therapy dog, that’s what mine are. Tell me the eyes of the sick children lie when my oh-so-vicious-man-eating-pit bull gently lays on the hospital bed with them. There is truly no feeling in the world like helping to bring this breed’s true disposition out and visible for society to see. 

We pit bull owners have to have tough skin. Our dogs are judged, we are judged. I’m bi-racial and I’ve never experienced such sterotypes than when I take my pit bulls out in public. Can I say I blame people for their unfair judgment? Probably not. If the 5′o’clock news reports so much of the same things, how can I expect people to not believe it? It is we “pit bull” owners who must take on the responsibility of making sure our dogs are properly trained and fully under control. If a lab bites some child, it won’t be on the news. In fact, it will most likely be written off as some freak accident. If your pit bull takes a dump on the sidewalk and you don’t pick it up, it will probably be on the news. PIT BULL OWNERS: please, please, please, do not give your neighbors, family members, the news, the newspapers, ANYONE AT ALL a reason to label your pit bull as a danger to society. Take the neccessary steps to ensure your pit bull is a great representation of the breed….and if it’s not, please invest in training. 

Do not let ignorance rule your life. People truly fear what they do not understand. As pit bull owners, we must accept that and give them all the reasons why they are WRONG. There is no cure for stupidity…on both ends, the judgment passers and the judged. You think only thugs and drug dealers own this breed? You think only uneducated people would care to have a pit bull? A menace to society? Well, I’ve got a master’s degree, a full time job, I pay my taxes and people see me and think I should own a yorkie or something…HA!!!!….I’ll take my Gucci bag, my Jimmy Choo heels and my super-mean-menance-to-society-dog-that-should-be-outlawed-PIT-BULL and get into my brand new lexus (which happens to be bought, not stolen if we want to go to stereotypes) as I drive to the children’s hospital in LA for our weekly visit. The kids are waiting for us. How’s that for stereotypes?

All these comments are stupid – maybe one of you should get your lips, nose & face chewed up by a Pit. I just hope the guy is fine, bless the doctor for free care & put those DOGS down. End of story

Regardless of the reason they attacked, the authorities are going to see the owner as irresponsible for not having the dogs tied up. If they would have been tied up, this wouldn’t have happened.

I think that the dogs were doing what they seen as protecting the hand that feeds. As for pits being a bad breed, you all are mistaken. I had a pit bull when I was a little girl who I slept with ate with and played with on a daily basis. She was a great pet. She also protected me from people who tried to hurt me. But she NEVER ATTACKED UNPROVOKED.Its the people who train them to attack who should be in trouble not the specific breed of dog. And as for Oildale being full of nothing but Crack heads, Ive never touched the stuff and Ive lived here for almost 20 yrs. I also am surrounded by neighbors who have never touched it either. So lay off the area, there are good people here too.

1/2 Pit

I dont have an explaination, except its like being a werewolf. In the evenings I can ntake a walk in Oildale and if there is a full moon I turn into a PitBull Terrior and I look immediately for something to kill. It is what society says I do so I do. I want to be thaat pit which actually chewed McFlyes face. I did him reconstructive surgery and made him look better right away and hey Peoplle I didnt charge him either. Now why did I do it you ask. It had noithing to do with him trying to rob my master, and kick him. Not at all I just wanted to do him a favor and chew on him. Caause I am a killer and hey anyone got a 2 or 3 yr old in the front yard I caan chew up on too. Oh yeah my favorite people work for the county of Kern around the hywy 58 and My Vernon. I know they will hire me a lawyer and at least get me an insanity plea. They will house me for years to come in a place where they will feed me and take care of me until I die from natural causes. Oh yeah it runs in my family my brothers name is Manson and see they do it for him.. But till they can catch me I hike my leg and piss in your faces, ccause I am a killer the pitbull terrior.

Pit all the way

I’ve had and known my share of pitbulls. They have been both gentle as lambs and mean as cat pee. One female in particular we owned could not be trusted with strange animals or people. Call it a protective instinct or what ever you like, the fact is, she couldn’t be trusted so she couldn’t be kept. That folks is the bottom line. If you can’t trust the animal to obey your commands, then you have no business keeping it.

You guys are still at it? . . . wow. . . that’s conviction. I’ve got an idea. . . Lets just kill all the pit bull owners or those thinking of having animals that can kill someone. Hell, let’s kill everything with the ability to kill. . . On second thought, why don’t you just kill this conversation. . . Nobody is going to agree. . . It’s like gun control. . . and don’t even get me goin’ on that. . . but we ARE going to need SOMETHING to kill all those dogs and owners with. Why don’t you guys sort it out and I’ll get back to you. . . NEVER. . . peace for HUMANS.

If you wanted a *blurb* about Eminem. . . sorry (no I’m not) But if it makes you feel any better, I think it’s GREAT that he is sober.

That is a major accomplishment. MAN, it must suck being RICH. . . all those problems.
