can you imagine a 150 pound cat that totally is flipped out and intent on killing you....its gonna be a bad ending.
Having been attacked by a 22 lb Siamese that was (semi) playing yes I can. Had a canvas-like fabric work shirt under a thick hoodie on and still bled profusely plus hoodie was destroyed.
Btw can't blame the cat (Zap) I was messing with him and kinda asked for it!
If I hear a dog, my knife is out. I've scared more than one dog owner who walked their unleashed dog near me(usually trespassing). Maybe I win, maybe I don't, but your animal's gonna be fucked up when it's over with.
My lab/pit mix might lick your face to death. Is that what people are referring to a killer instinct? Death by doggie tongue?
I work outside on private property. Some people think they're entitled to use others people's property to walk their dogs since the owner doesn't have line of sight visibility to the whole thing. Other times are typical suburban yards, and some people don't feel they need to keep their precious puppy on their own yard. I'm always armed cause that's my right, and if I hear a dog bark getting closer, or something running towards me, my knife is in hand. That's assuming I'm not in the back country and carrying one or more machetes, which is of course preferable to a standard knife.You take out a knife anytime you come near a dog out and about wherever that is?
Where do you live, east bumblefuck Kentucky?
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.

According to the CDC pit bulls have been responsible for 70% of all fatal dog attacks over the last decade while only being 2% of the entire American dog population. d.
Tough to argue with those numbers ... as I said even if we assume 80% are BS in some way (most likely not that high) they are still the most dangerous by a wide margin even to people.
Oh no kidding!
I was a little stronger back then, 6'1" 240.
Those arm sleeves are designed to give a little so as to simulate an arm, and not break the teeth, etc. The shepherds hit so hard, the initial strike was like a 4' long 2x4 at a moderate swing. I say this with confidence, because we had a chunk of 2x4 there to illustrate the hit
Now fill in that hit with teeth on each side with enough bite force to squeeze through the reinforced sleeve.
Then there's the second and third and fourth hit in less than 3 seconds. The shepherds tend to " chop" rapidly, not bite and hold. The speed is incredible and you are trying to anticipate it.
The only dog to draw blood was this 114 pound shep that chopped up and off the end of the sleeve onto my upper arm before I had a clue.
Now these are not your average dog by any means, and the training is effective. A person can strategize about knives and punching or kicking an attacking dog and might have some success with an untrained animal. I think most people would be amazed at how fast they are, when it is their job. Our reactions are pitiful in comparison.
Last time I visited a shelter 90%+ of the animals there were Pit Bulls. This is not going to help their situation. I guess that you have to be a very “special” person to want to risk you and your familie’s lives having one or more of these animals around.

God damn it. I'm trying SO hard not to throw this back with a quote about crime percentages in the US.
Typical arguments of pit owners when they are confronted by the typical monthly death of an owner at the hands of their pit bull:
a) It's not a real Pit Bull, it just looks like one
b) The owners were terrible people. If you raise them right (like I do), they won't kill you.
c) Small dogs have worse tempers (followed by anecdote about how amazingly nice and good with children their own Pit Bull is)
These dogs have been bred to fight and kill for decades if not centuries and they are very good at it. Most of the time they are fine around full-sized people, but put them around another small dog or small person and their instinct kicks in and they kill.
Thankfully they are pretty much exclusively a pet owned by dregs of society and most nice areas have already banned them. My area does not allow them to be walked in public.
To the pit owners in this thread making excuses for these dogs, how would you feel if your pit bull killed you and your fellow pit defenders decided to call you a terrible owner who abused their dog and didn't properly raise it? That's exactly what will happen if your dog goes insane. This woman is already being called a monster by Pit defenders in this very thread merely because she was killed.
pics? <3
You might be able to make that argument with the other guard/attack dogs, but pitbulls are one of the ugliest dogs not bred specifically to look stupid. It's those ugly pig eyes, which btw, that pic in the op has. It's not a pure pit, but it has some pit in it.such a beautiful animal.
It's hard to get all of him to fit in one picture. He is the AT-AT of dogs
awesome
I have a 150lb blue male dane, so I know what you mean!
