Woman's dogs maul her to death

[urvile]

Yeah, sure thing bud. Just like the saying "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face", the same thing applies except you are being torn to shreds by a 115lb dog who will very likely have you on the ground before you even have a chance to react. There is a reason they are one of the top working dogs for police and military, how many of those have you heard of having their legs ripped off? I'm a big guy who is plenty strong but I never once thought that I could take out Cosmo if he was deadset on doing me harm. I'd put a years pay on him versus you but if you want to keep on believing you are superman then who am I to rain on your parade.

Got to agree with that. A friend of mine was attacked by a pit bull and he is a big dude who is seriously into lifting weights. He said the dog was so powerful he couldn't get it off him. It grabbed him by a foot and dragged him down the hallway. The owner had to keep hitting it over the head with a bat until it let go. Certain breeds of dogs can essentially be used as a weapon. and the pit bull is one of them and so are german shepherds.

EDIT: I think in this case a lot of the blame lay with the owner. He was a douche.

If you haven't heard of the ones you listed killing people you simply didn't look...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_dog_attacks_in_the_United_States

You're kidding right. The very link you posted is essentially the pit bull kill count. Most of those fatalities were by pit bulls or pit mixes.

The dogs ate her after they killed her. What a resourceful breed.

These weren't even Pits, were they? Police say the woman weighed 125 and both dogs were about her size.
Pits don't get anywhere near that big.

I always hear people say to cat owners "If you dropped dead your cat would eat you, but my dog is loyal and he would DIE before he ever ate me!" I bet this woman subscribed to that very notion. Funny thing is her dogs actually killed her and ate her on the spot.


If I died, I very much doubt my cat would eat me. She's not a dumb dog and she has a cat door to go outside and she knows exactly where to get food from the neighbors (who for some idiotic reason leave food out). Why would she bother with my corpse when she has fresh cat food 30 yards away?


Dog owners are funny like that. They don't understand dogs OR cats but they have a lot of ideas.

Lmao

You haven't met many Pit Bulls have you? They can easily get that big.


And the article said approximately 100-125 lbs. They didn't weigh the dogs because they were very busy trying to stop them from eating their human owner and fighting the police.

The police stated she was 125 and that the dogs were as big as she was. That means they are at least close to that weight.
No, actual Pit Bulls do NOT get that big. I realize some folks have been trying to breed them bigger, but they are not common yet.
I suspect these are Cane Corsos or Presa Canario, or a mix of those types. And yes, I know most folks just call them all Pit Bulls.

This story reminds me of another whereas a pig farmer was consumed by his pigs:

Amazing how close our domesticated friends are to reverting to the wild ...

Incorrect ... unless you think you know better then the American Kennel Club, UK Kennel club etc.

Actual Staffordshire Terrier's top out around 65 lbs and roughly 22 inch shoulder height. They are considered a medium-size dog not a large one.

I know most folks just call them all Pit Bulls

Most people can't be bothered with facts.

 

[WelshBloke]

I never understood the "no true pit bull" argument.

Pit bull isn't a breed of dog, it's a type of dog.
An American pit bull terrier is a breed of dog. American pit bull terriers are pit bulls but not all pit bulls are American pit bull terriers.
Kennel club definitions are meaningless when talking about pit bulls as the Kennel club is defining the rules for a breed, such as the American pit bull terrier, not a type of dog such as the pit bull.

That's an American pit bull terrier, which is not necessarily what "pit bull" refers to.

Yes however it does get down to the difference between what is considered a Pit-bull as opposed to the many similar breeds which are often confused as such. The Staffordshire Terrier is the specific breed "officially" recognized as a Pit-Bull by most experts.

Do a search for "Molosser-dog". These dogs were bred for war originally which explains a lot in terms of behavior of the breeds descended from them. (ie: Mastiff's, Bull-Terriers, Rottweilers etc)

Some of them actually do make decent pets if properly trained and socialized with dogs and people from an early age, however certain breeds like the Fila (Brazilian Mastiff) for example will always be unpredictable/aggressive to a much greater extent then others and this is intentional.

I don't understand this point. The type of dogs classed as pit bulls doesn't depend on breed. You can't confuse a similar breed mistakenly as a pit bull because a pit bull isn't a breed, it's a type of dog defined mainly by its looks and temperament. So if it looks similar enough to call a pit bull it is a pit bull.

Its a good sketch but I'm not sure that relevant.

People in this thread (and every pit bull thread) always pull out the "no true pit bull" argument and that argument really doesn't make any sense at all. Fair enough you can be picky about whats an American bull terrier, or an English bull terrier thats fine and proper, but it doesn't work for pit bull.

YAATOTPBT ... ?

 

[soulcougher73]

Its not that pitbulls attack often vs. other dogs. Its just when they do its a lot more deadly. So its not really a dog agression issue so much as a superior killing dog

 

[Captante]

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, even if you eliminate the vast majority of attacks as misinformation of some type, dogs which are descended from the "Molosser-dog" are responsible for the vast majority of serious attacks on people and other animals.

Since they were originally bred to attack people in battle and later for dog-fighting and guard-duty this should come as no surprise.

 

[BudAshes]

Pits don't get anywhere near that big.

They retracted the statement about them being 125lbs and that they were bread to fight. Pretty crazy, I wonder if maybe the dogs had rabies or something.

 

[momeNt]

Why are they being euthanized? These dogs deserve to be adopted into loving homes with innocent children to play with.

Dogs of peace. #nurtureovernature

 

[1sikbITCH]

The hell is wrong with you two?

It says in TFA they were likely being bred for fighting, which means they were being bred for this. Don't blame a whole damned breed for the actions of its owner.

Agreed. People should be banned from owning pit bulls and other fighting breeds not because the dogs are vicious but because people are too stupid to teach them to stop eating folks. But don't blame the dog. Just ban humans from owning them.

A pit bull, as it has just been proven once again, will kill you and then eat you. Too many people are obviously too stupid to own these dogs, same as grenades, rocket launchers, etc. This dog is not a hunting rifle or handgun for target pratice; it's a bomb. A bomb with a brain and it's dare I say ARMED TO THE TEETH. I agree that the dogs are not to blame. I blame the humans and the humans should be banned from owning these dogs.

 

[FIVR]

We should gather all the Pit Bulls in the US and dump them in puerto rico. They can run free and frolic in the aftermath of the hurricanes, eating berries and squirrels as they do in their natural habitat. Puerto Ricans love them and will make them their new national animal.

Dogs that have a taste for human blood tend to be violent despite retraining. General policy in all 50 states is to kill em. Its a bit simple-minded but nobody, not even PETA complains about this.
