As the dog is charging up to you off the leash, “IT’S OK SHE’S FRIENDLY AND HAS GOOD RECALL TRAINING!”
(Bad) dog owners be like

I hate when people let their off leash dogs run up to my leashed dogs (we only walk in leash required areas). They always yell “they’re friendly” And I have to yell back “mine arent”. A suprising number of people still just mosey over slowly half-heartedly calling their dog while lm actively backing up and restraining my growling dog. One of my dogs is a rescue and she will fight anything if it charges her, a dog, a bike, a horse - she does not care.
Some people should not be allowed to have a dog.

That’s weird, she usually only bites me.

Was that a child’s leg that just fell out of her mouth?

There’s tons of friendly and well raised pitbulls. Y’all just never here about them because the news doesn’t make scary stories about them. Yall have a negativity bias
iAmTheTot@kbin.social 11 months ago
Negativity bias? Fact bias.
Pit bulls are the single mostly likely breed to be involved in a bite incident. Over 22% of all bite incidents are pit bulls. Not only that, they are the single most likely breed to be involved in a fatal attack.
So they bite the most, and their attacks are most often the deadliest.
PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Those stats are a result of shitty reporting by cops who are likely to just list any breed they can’t immediately give two fucks to confirm as a pit.
A rather famous incident quickly dropped off the radar once it turned out that the dog that attacked the victim was actually a golden retriever.
ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Chihuahua are easily bigger biters than pits. They just don’t get reported.

I know several people with scars on their faces from pitbulls. Four of them had to get reconstructive surgery.
I grew up with one so I am not a hater, but I know they can be very dangerous especially around other dogs.

I know someone with a scar on her face and a deep seeded fear of dogs because she was attacked by…a boston terrier. I guess we should just ruthlessly slaughter any animal with teeth just to be safe.

There’s no bad dogs, just bad owners.
Pitbulls: Grandma looks delicious today
madcaesar@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I love dogs and absolutely can’t stand people that say: There’s no bad dogs, just bad owners.
It’s just as stupid as people with their bullshit: Guns don’t kill people, people do!
Yea asshole, but a AK 47 VS a 6 piece revolver will do VASTLY different amount of damage.
Same with Pitbull. They are bred to IGNORE pain as they attack. Their jaws are bred to clamp down with maximum force.
Bad owner or not, some shit shouldn’t be in the possession of random citizens.
ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I kinda have the opposite thing going with my dog. She’s a fluffy standard poodle that looks like a sheep. People come up and immediately stick their hands in her face not realizing she had been badly abused by her shithead former owners and will bite defensively when grabbed at by strangers. We’ve only had her for 2 months and are slowly training her out of it, but it’s taking time and trust.

I’ve found that having a “nervous, do not pet” vest has helped. Thankfully, it seems to have worked well so far.
mmagod@lemmy.world 11 months ago
but what about getting one for your dog?
cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I can understand people being scared of big dogs. However I grew up with a lot of dogs and I’ve been charged by a bully XL. My instinct was to smile and lunge at it making dog-talk noises and to fuss it. It jumped into my face and bust my lip but it jumped back in fear cos it thought it’d be in trouble for hurting me.
I carried on fussing it to let it know I forgave it and it wasn’t a problem.
It wasn’t until after I realised that non-dog people would have shit themselves and shown fear. Which could have triggered the dog to attack.

So that’s a well founded fear; no? IMO if your pet, regardless what it is, requires other people to know how to act to avoid being possibly mauled; it has absolutely no business being in public.

My badish encounter with my friend’s giant pit basically went the same. The second my hand was in his mouth he realized he fucked up and was my best friend after.
In his defense, my roommate’s cat had just started spraying on everything.

A dog is a tamed wolf, imagine trying to fight one to death with nothing but your fists.

Pitbulls shouldn’t exist as a breed.
seathru@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Agreed. Forced sterilization should be the law.
static_dragon@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Nah, asshole humans who raise them to be vicious shouldn’t exist as a general rule, all dogs have the capacity to be vicious, yet, I don’t see the same disdain for chihuahuas, or shih tzus
BikingAlong@lemmy.world 11 months ago
My Aussie herds. I did not train her to herd. She was bred to herd. These dogs are not bred to fight, but to catch prey and not release it. Chihuahua’s and shitzu s don’t fucking kill children every single year. Get out of here with this fucking “dog racism” argument. Dogs aren’t fucking people.
SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Lots of people don’t like chihuahuas or shit sues. Reality is when they do attack which is often they don’t do much damage so the tolerance is higher. They aren’t any where near as scary as 130 pounds of solid biting muscle with a neck thick enough to rip your calf muscle out of your leg with one yank

Some dogs deserve to be placed in the pages of history.

I’d be fine if they were just regulated the same way, say, wolves are.
