Family's pit bull kills their 2 year old child.

Every pit bull owner I've ever met says their pit bull is different, that it's all about the owner. If the dog has a good owner, the dog will be good - if the dog is bad, it's the owner's fault. I guarantee if the owner in this case would have been asked a few days ago, they would have repeated the same old **** - said their dog wouldn't hurt anybody, that they are good owners, had the dog 8 years and he hasn't done anything, etc, blah, blah, blah. Tragic.

I'm about as big a dog lover as there is and I have seen really nice gentle pit bulls that I would never expect something like this from, I have friends that have pit bulls and they are great pets........
But I agree with you. Pit bulls are just different from other dogs. They are more dangerous and unpredictable imo
You just never know with them.
Owners definitely play a role but it seems with pits there are alot of stories about pit bulls that were the nicest dogs for years and then just snapped.

Yes other breeds have the same problem but not at the same rate as pit bulls.
Having a pit bull is like having a loaded gun in the house. Maybe that gun never goes off and never hurts anyone but just having it increases the chances of death or injury

There have been alot of talk of banning pit bulls iirc.

Also there is a HUGE difference between guns and dogs in general.

The purpose of a guns existence is to kill.

Dogs have many purposes

Killing is a broad statement. Get more granular; protecting your life, family, belongings from all sources, domestic and foreign. Hunting for meat when allowed. Collecting has to be in there as well. Fixing/Building guns and gun accessories has to be a billion dollar industry.

Dogs can provide defense to a degree as well, assist in hunting(duck hunting), and you can collect/breed dogs for a source of income and fun(it's always great). Dogs however also provide a sense of companionship, which guns will never do(unless you're looking at mental disorders; and there you shouldn't own a gun). There may be more, but I'm not thinking of it right now.

In this situation, the article doesn't say it out of respect... but it seems they believe the mother left the child alone with the dog. Whether that's alone with a dog or a gun, that child could still end up dead very quickly, and very easily.

That's where my mind went.

There are several dog breeds whose main purpose was to kill.
 
I really want to stay out of it, but a .50 cal sniper rifle is designed to disable vehicles and other equipment.

Navy "guns" are designed to sink/disable other ships.

In order to get mooring lines to the shore the navy uses a gun that fires essentially a tennis ball with a light string attached.

Starter pistols are guns.

Guy I work with has two pit bulls. When he told me I said I don't really like pit bulls because I don't feel like I can trust them. He was a little butt hurt and went on with the old line that it's all about the owners. I was like, ok cool. But then a few weeks later he's talking about having his dogs at the dog park and how when other dogs try to play with his pits his pits get pretty mean with them and he thought it was badass that his dogs kicked the other dogs ***. And when the other owners would say something he'd tell them that it was their dogs fault and that they should control their dogs before their dogs got hurt by his dogs.

So yeah, it's all about the owners... And I wouldn't spend a second in the same room as his dogs.
