Jenny Pollman March 8 at 10:29pm · Edited My friend Sabrina just sent me this. So yesterday we were in PetSmart and some a-hole had to bring his pitbull in right as we are checking out. He had the nerve to ask my little girl if she would like to pet his dog. I literally told him over my dead body would she ever be around a murdering dog like pitts.

I literally told him over my dead body would she ever be around a murdering dog like pitts. He ran real fast to the back of the store. .. after sending me some lovely glares.
Why the hell do they feel the need to put other lives in danger so they can bring those ugly and killer dogs in public???? Idiot

The owners of these dogs & the people that run these stores need to know that not all of us are just eat their propaganda anymore about these dogs. Muzzle them if you're gonna bring them in public. And don't push them on people & children.

  • Stephanie Michelle Garnet I was at Safeway getting ready to leave putting my kids and groceries in the truck when my husband said you didn't see that did you? I said what? I was getting Cadee in the truck in her car seat... He said there is a pit bull inn that car and when the guy opened up his car door the dog bolted and was running straight toward me with Cadee in my arms. Luckily his owner got his attention and got him back in the car but I started moving a hell of a lot faster to get out of the parking lot!

  • Jenny Pollman Yeah... I would have too. Gonna own a dangerous breed... then be responsible with it. That could have been an attack in a split second had that dog not listened. What I don't understand is why people that own these dogs try to push them so hard on people. I've taken my dog out in public before... and not once have I ever walked up to someone or someone's child & asked if they wanted to pet my dog. If they want to pet my dog... they can approach me & ask. But I don't have any desire to walk up to people & push my dog on them. Not everyone even likes dogs.

  • Cassie Bentley Why don't you just muzzle every breed and every person you come in contact with for that matter??? I mean jeez. I've been bitten by two dogs and neither were pitts, but even obnoxious people should be muzzled for the bull that comes out of their mouths. Their are canabals, rapists, and millions of bad animals. Not saying Pitts can't be dangerous either, but seriously it's a pet store that allows pets so YOU are the one taking with a risk with YOUR child walking into a place that doesn't discriminate against an animal for breed like you crazy people. What are you gonna do when your child is attacked by a different animal or human being....you gonna freak out like this too...don't discriminate now!

There are millions and all it takes is one bad situation for hatred to ensue. All I'm saying is don't discriminate one breed when any animal can attack. I mean think about it, you could be walking next to a killer in the grocery store but you don't know. But I bet you would then hate everyone related to that person or breed when something bad happens to someone you care for.

  • Rachel Simas This group is about dogs, for people who noticed a problem or have had personal problems with dogs. Serial killing and raping is already illegal, what would you like us to do? Become detectives and start finding criminals to prosecute for laws that already exist? We want laws for dangerous fighting breeds that have no use in our society since dog fighting has been outlawed. When someone speaks of the unfairness of "killing off a breed" what they are actually talking about is eliminating a specific set of characteristics which have proven to be a problem. The fact that sadistic humans created a "breed" to torture animals is no mandate to continue the existence of said breed. Nobody has suggested killing off the domestic dog - only those man-made expressions of temperament and behaviors which have proven to be harmful and cruel.

  • Rick Fite Semantics. Typically when the discrimination card is played in the context of pitbulls/fighting dogs, it is intended to be evocative of the racial discrimination experienced by people. Regarding pitbulls/fighting dogs, I can and will be "discriminate" towards them regarding their genetics. Their DNA is what sets them apart from other dogs in that they are predisposed to gripping and killing after their bite response is triggered. Call it what you will, my view towards fighting dogs remains strictly pragmatic, based on observable genetic traits.

Now should we turn our attention to whatever other societal ill exists? Murderers, rapists, other? Those acts have their advocates and voice. I am here because this is an creeping danger lurking in homes filled with innocent children, that pro-pitbull advocates are determined to whitewash. You don't hear of someone 'advocating' for murder or rape, do you? This is a far more insidious danger in that it is literally a wolf being dressed up as a sheep. A time bomb waiting to happen.

Allowed his dog to get in my children's faces. I told him we don't allow our own dogs in our children's faces and I definitely will not tolerate a fighting breed in a stressful situation to get in my sons faces. We got up and moved. I don't consider it attacking. I consider it being a concerned parent. If you don't see that then you clearly don't have children and cannot begin to understand.

  • Rachel Simas How do we ever stop dogfighting if we don't single out fighting dogs? Dogfighters discriminate all the time by only using pit bulls for fighting and yet no one is screaming at them about how prejudice they are, and that other dogs are just as dangerous. But when people try to acknowledge their specific breeding and the increased risk of serious injuries in the event of an attack they're 'prejudice' and a 'hater'. Making dog fighting illegal, but leaving fighting dogs completely unregulated clearly isn't working, since dog fighting is flourishing, but it also doesn't make any sense. Would we ban crack smoking because it hurts people, but not also ban selling, distributing or possessing crack? Of course not, because we can't rely on the honor system that people won't actually use the crack for its intended purpose and smoke it. So how are we supposed to make any kind of dent in dog fighting if we only ban the actual act of fighting the dogs but don't set any regulations on who can own, sell or breed fighting dogs? We are relying on the honor system that all those pit bull owners will never take advantage of the money making opportunity available to them by using these readily available and completely unregulated dogs for their intended purpose of fighting.

The online sale moderators here in small town Midwest beg people to sell their dogs not give them away because basically pits will kill the dog and eat it, and that is any pit not just dogs groomed for fighting. No other breeds are so inclined. A pit that is used to killing things is partic dangerous to children or any dogs. This is not peoples' imagination it is reality.

It's not us 'haters' that are over breeding pit bulls, it's not us 'haters' that are using them for fighting and it certainly isn't us 'haters' trying to save known aggressive dogs so they can have a 'second chance' to maul someone. It's the so called pit bull lovers that are responsible for all the over filled shelters, abused fighting dogs and savage attacks on people and animals. When will they realize they are going to bat for the very team they claim to be rooting against?

We, when victims, try to not be "hateful" as that is considered anti-social, and she may even have been counseled to patch it up with her aggressor the pit breed, who knows, perhaps she was having attack nightmares. Or maybe the constant stream of attack news here was difficult. I am proud that everyone stepped up and gave their good reasons. She now has another stage of understanding. Sometimes we do wear war hats and most likely a vacation from this is good for people, just to get re-focused.

But for the great JHHS my grandson wud have died because of an attack by a pit bull. You tell me, so that I can understand, why wud anyone want to own a dog that is capable of killing shud it attack. It is an animal people. Pets have been known to kill their owners because they keep forgetting that they are animals. If a human who can think can kill then what makes you think an animal won't revert to it's nature and attack to kill.

  • Bonny Thomas Lee Ms Bentley, Not sure if its a hundred percent, but it is safe to say that most people who write on this site are dog owners themselves and good people who are concerned with a public health and welfare situation. We are aware that other types of dogs can and do bite...in the aggregate however,no other breed has accomplished so much in so little time as to human fatalities,maulings resulting permanent disfigurement,family pets attacked and killed. If you mistrust the statistics you see do your own research.Law enforcement,animal control,EMT's,coroners reports can be obtained on every 2014 (42 human fatalities) and every 2015(5 so far). These are the folks who who "pick up the pieces" in addition to grieving families. Please before you classify victims as haters or taunt them, read Dr David A Billmire's. editorial from Cincinnati Children's Hospital. As Barbara Kay writing, (What Pit Bull Activism says about our Culture )in the National Post has stated"This is the first time in the history of animal-human relations that a movement has formed to PROMOTE DENIAL of a beloved breed's well-known vices. Emphasis mine.

  • Sabrina Jurgens I did notice that cassie had said that I was bringing my daughter into a place where animals are allowed. That is true, I take the risk every time I go in there to buy dog food that there is going to be a pitbull in there. Which is why I also carry a knife in my purse that my dad has been known to cut through deer with. Knowing that if the situation came down to it there be one less pitbull in this world. However, I find it so disrespectful that a pitbull owner or any bully breed owner would allow their dog to go into a store without a muzzle on it and then push their dog on to another child. I was literally floored.

  • Laurel Davis Cassie did have a good point about muzzling more dogs in public. A few years ago, I lived in a European city that had virtually no dog related maulings or deaths. All pits, mixes and derivatives were banned. All other dogs had to be muzzled in public if they were over a certain height and weight (the idea being--if it is large enough to easily take down a small child, that should be prevented), all service animals had to be obtained through approved agencies to be legal. With that said--properly behaved dogs were allowed pretty much everywhere--trains,pubs, etc---and they haven't had a dog bite fatality in decades!

  • Fataah Ewe' All those Euros could not be so wrong, but the UK who has allowed only Staffordshires (of fight breeds) has had its share of sad maulings and deaths. How could they have not known?

  • Laurel Davis no one should ever die being torn apart by a dog, That we do not do more to prevent it is shameful.

  • Laurel Davis I think because the Staffy is so distinctively "British", many didn't want to ban it.

  • Cathy Garcia And Cassie you don't invite serial killers or rapists into your home. Pit people however do invite a killer dog into their home. Huge difference. And we are not police. They go after the bad people. We just try and protect our families and pets from the dangerous sweet loving pibble wibble

  • Laurel Davis when someone is attacked by a dog--it is a preventable death (if our society would only take steps to prevent it). Yet--it is typically written off as an "accident" the perp is protected, the victim attacked. We don't trivialize Bundy's victims as accidental deaths...

  • Julie Wall @Cassie, Care to give me a list of ethical pit bull breeders? There are 200 dog breeds and pit bull breeders are the only ones who are breeding for aggression and power to create the ultimate canine gladiator. Most pit bull advocates lack the basic understanding of dog breeding 101 and what pit bill breeders are trying to accomplish. Most pit bull type dogs are produced by unethical backyard pit bull breeders who are breeding for aggression. They are supplying to dog fighters, drug dealers, people who want a guard dog or a dog that looks like a tough protection dog. Aggression is a dominant trait resulting in a 75% chance of inheritance. One needs to actively breed to eliminate it through SELECTIVE breeding and deliberate attrition, things that backyard pit bull breeders NEVER do. Pit bull breeders are producing unsafe dogs that compromises public safety and the safety of other people's beloved pets that live in the same neighborhoods. Pit-bull type dogs are the number one dog surrendered to shelters, a million every year, mostly because of aggression issues. Then many are rehomed by irresponsible pit bull advocates back into our communities. Watch this undercover video of of unethical, seedy backyard pit bull breeders: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2geom3

  • Julie Wall @Cassie, First of all, dogs are not races. There are over 200 man-made dog breeds bred for certain traits to serve humans. Many breeds go extinct. It's not a big deal. Do you miss any of these breeds?: http://www.ask.com/wiki/List_of_extinct_dog_breeds?o=2800...

  • Cathy Garcia And then my sweet Cassie, they are rescued by these lying rescue rehabs and then given to naive people that are led to believe they were not bait or fighting dogs. AND THEN a child or any innocent person or animal is killed in a horrible death. That's what we are against.
