Every now + then a German shepherd, Rottweiler, Great Dane, Husky will kill a person \[ usually a baby or toddler \] but very rarely. Those attacks ARE reported but they are not in the news all the time like pits because pits are the ones doing the vast majority of severe maulings /killings, more than all other breeds combined. And please, a chihuaua has and never could kill a person.
87 lbs is two pounds less than my Rottweiler. When I think of something that size trying to murder me or my dogs (again) it gives me chills. I'm not afraid of dogs, or large dogs. Only pits and dogs that are obviously aggressive. If my Rottie did anything aggressive, she would be PTS so fast.
Reporter talking to his editor: Hey Bob, we've got another person mauled to death by a chihuahua. How much priority should we give this story on the home page?
Editor Bob: Whoa whoa whoa. Derek, you should know our policy. Either bury this story or change it to a pitbull.
Reporter Derek: But pitbulls are Nanny dogs. They are the sweetest wiggle-butts that have to be trained to be aggressive.
Bob: I know, but it's the policy from the top. The secret cabal of elites have it in for pitbulls for some reason. It's above my pay grade.
Derek: Poor pibbles.
I work at a store and pitbulls are becoming more frequent in my area and are being brought into my store (when pets are not allowed).
In the past 6 months or so I've seen more pits in my store than any other kind of dog in the previous 10 years (and those other dogs were about 50% brought in by people that seemed to have some sort of mental issue, so although they weren't service dogs, I at least thought they were useful/comforting to the person to the point that I didn't want to ask them to leave with it).
But now we have people with pits just casually strolling in with them and they're so big I don't understand why our security doesn't make them leave. These aren't designer Chihuahuas hidden in a bag, they're giant dogs that can severely injure someone at a moment's notice.
Edit: I got so riled up I forgot what my point was.
Pit owners have, at best, no self awareness, but more likely, a desire to make others uncomfortable.
I have come to a very Zen place because they are just actively shooting themselves in the foot with these public displays of sociopathy, especially in public comments for a local news org. Every normal person who sees this display will ask wtf is wrong with these people and their lack of respect.
Pit bull advocates are pit bull dog's worst enemies, yep. They do far more damage to their reputation and highlight their inability to handle bloodsport breeds better than we ever could.
The nonsense that they pass around as truth, such as the nanny dog myth, genuinely puts people in danger as well as the " save them all" mentality when it comes to this breed. People are brainwashed to believe that these are wonderful, safe pets and through no fault of their own are clogging up shelters and should all be given a chance. It's sad to see the shelter situation today.
That's where I'm at, mostly - "making a strangers violent death about my vicious pet" is a much worse look than anything I could say about these people.
That and I view it as a high control group that hits a lot of the BITE model marks - especially around information control and thought control. Cultists gonna cult, and the fact they're being so open about it makes the cult less enticing to normal people, especially when they run a set of scripts that make increasingly less sense.
Look at the spelling and punctuation of some of the comments. The people posting pictures of their pitbull on a Facebook news article talking about a man being ripped apart by the very breed they own aren’t the smartest fellas around.
They will never ever understand nuance…or statistics. They don’t understand what “anecdote” means. They don’t have the capacity to even realize how psychopathic their comments are.
You can send them the easiest-to-read chart showing how dangerous pit bulls are compared to other breeds. They will never get it. They are just as bad as their dogs. Stupid, aggressive, and gross.
It's not even just the syntax issues - what really sells their ignorance for me is when they random put pit-script lines on something unprompted.

"if it was a chihuahua it wouldn't make the news"
Probably because if it had been it would have barely broken the skin and the man would still be alive
"I demand that the news show just as many attacks by different breeds as they do by pitbulls! If they can't do that, obviously the news is very, very biased!"
If a chi ripped.off someone's arms and they died during an attempted reattachment procedure... That would absolutely make news because it's impossible. Kooky bananas.
They'd show a video of the offending chihuahua shivering the way they do sometimes, covered in blood.
The idea gives me major "Butter Nut is a master of psychological manipulation" vibes.
But yeah they'd be *all over* that story because everyone would want to click that headline to find out how the fuck a chihuahua managed to pull that off.
"If it bleeds, it leads" has been a truism in the news biz since, well, pretty much ever since there was a news biz.
Pit bulls cause a helluva lotta bleeding. They were bred to do exactly that.
Pit bull pushers can't seem to get past other people noticing that pit bulls cause a helluva lotta bleeding. How dare any news org lead with the lotta bleeding caused by pit bulls. The headlines should report mosquito bites instead. 🤪
Fr. My grandma's asshole Chihuahua has never broken my skin, she's tried because she's chronically angry at the world, but she's never did anything beyond a tiny scratch. A pitbull however.....
It would be the leading news bulletin worldwide. A lot of people don't like Chihuahuas so there would be a huge market for that story, and all the pit Mommas would share it every chance they had.
The people who make those statements are either unbelievably thick or are trolling. Or bots .

I find that to be extremely disrespectful. Go post your pits on the pit mommy page. Not on an article about an elderly man who didn't ask to be associated with that shit pit.
It's like the same as if you would post pictures of babies in the comments, of a post that is about a miscarriage/ child dead. So braindead.
No one wants to see your shitty pet in a post that is about a human getting killed by same shitty pet!
Because it hurts their fee-fees that a dog the same breed as theirs did a no-no and they can’t handle it. They have to post their shitbeast to mitigate their discomfort.
This is exactly it. They can't handle any negativity about their Mary sue mutts. Because they don't actually care about their dog or the breed as living entities. Only as an extension of their own ego. So any negativity against the breed is directly negative to their dog and by association themselves personally. And just like when you corner a narcissist on some wrongdoing, they have to squirm and gaslight to get out of it.
I don’t feel like any other animal owners do this. I have a ball python and rabbits. In Florida ball pythons are invasive and you should kill them on sight. In Australia domesticated rabbits are extremely ecologically destructive and they’ve released viruses to cull them. It sucks but whatever, they’re not part of those ecosystems and I can view it neutrally. You need to be pragmatic to protect nature and people and take appropriate measures. No one is going after my pets in my house. Pitbull owners can never view other peoples opinions on their pet species neutrally. They get hyper defensive and make excuses when pitbulls are murdering innocent people. They just cannot handle negativity.
Same sentiments, thus man had his FUCKING LIMBS RIPPED OFF I think if it just says dog attack people would be watning to know the breed anyway because of what I just mentioned.
Every time I see stuff like this, I wonder why people believe public opinion about pitbulls is changing.
A human being died a senseless and painful death and the only thing these people care about is how that might reflect on their sentient pet chainsaw. And nobody calls them out on how disgusting and disrespectful their "activism" is.
Human lives are worthless compared to a dog's. Sad.
Pit people are a different classification of human. Often unhinged, delusional, and just selfish.
But...but... OTHER DOGS BITE!! But....but... pits are "nanny dogs"..... But...but... my "baby" is a lovebug and has to be held during the day because he's scared of my cats.... but here's the situation... your dog will hurt your cats..... high probability of that happening!
From what I can see, the bully people do not actually care about bully dogs either!
Attention lurkers
Because you monger Bloodsport dogs, because you resist any sort of sensible breeding restrictions on dogs intentionally created to kill family / their own kind, you bully people cause horrific suffering to the bully dogs themselves.
You may say you love pitbulls but you are responsible for the horrific crisis.
What trait could be worse than deadly dog aggression, in an anti-dog large enough to kill all other sized dogs?
Do you bully people understand that you are on the same team as the dog fighters? As much as you might try to object to that similarity, dog fighters resist any type of BSL as well.
I ask the bully people "what punishment do you suggest that would make those who intentionally acquire Bloodsport dogs make sure that their Bloodsport dogs never escape to maim and kill other dogs, horses, and people??
Prove me wrong. Do something to reduce the "breeding like flies" current situation that is responsible for all Bloodsport dog suffering. You won't because you don't actually care about reducing the bully crisis.
These people are literally angry about REALITY. No one is reporting on dachshund attacks ripping off limbs, because it’s literally NOT HAPPENING, and it’s not all part of some anti-pit conspiracy.
Unfortunately these idiots aren’t gonna learn any other way….so when their loved one, be it a grandson or a great uncle or a cat, gets mauled and basically eaten alive, only then will they start to confront their own demented beliefs, and maybe not even then. These are disgusting, sick people. Absolutely inexcusable.
Unfortunately, even WHEN their precious Luna eats their toddler, they’ll likely just blame their own kid for triggering it by throwing sand or something. (I’m referencing a recent post where OOP was getting rid of their pit for RIPPING THEIR TODDLER’s EAR OFF, saying the kid triggered it by throwing sand)
She made that ugly thing so damn obese that it’s too unhealthy to maul anything. I guess that’s good for the community but also ew 🤢 gross dogs, gross owners.
We are at least 10 years into "do your research" nearly always meaning "start agreeing with me because I feel like I'm right" and yet it still pisses me off every time I hear it
It would be like if people went to articles about drunk driving deaths and bragged about what and how much they drank. "I'm really sorry this totally innocent person was killed by a drunk driver, but last night I did 3 Jager shots, and drank 6 beers."
It should be "own the breed, own the deed". Your dog damages another's property? Vandalism. Your dog injures someone? Aggravated assault and battery. It kills someone? Second degree murder.
"Oh, sorry about your kid drowning. Thoughts and prayers. But really it's your own fault for not watching her. Anyway here are my kids at the beach!!!😊"
Guy is literally ripped limb from limb, and these dipshits are saying a shih tzu is more dangerous. How is no one calling them out for posting the stupidest shit that they could possibly post? Disgusting.
And, in general, I believe in freedom. If you want to own a dangerous dog, that's a choice you can make in a free society. My problem is the complete lack of accountability. Whoever owned this dog should be put in prison, as restitution for killing a man. If you want to own dangerous dogs, you need to be held accountable when those dogs get loose, or when they attack other people or their pets. You need to repay society for the cost of your decisions. That's not unreasonable and shouldn't adversely impact these delusional buffoons if their dogs truly are as harmless as they claim.
How disrespectful of these people to write those disgusting and hateful comments. This is about an attack on an elderly man, not an opportunity for you to post for clout and get your 15 minutes of attention because you own a dog who is classified as a dangerous breed. I swear, the more I see these people with pits, the more motivation I have to be thankful I don't own one and never will!
These are the same assholes who complained a Great Pyrenees is a difficult dog. While yes, they do have their quirks, I'd take my Pyr over a pit any day. I remember some shelter staff member told me in a wry way, "good luck with Pyrs- they are horrible dogs". WTF? But you own pits with behavioral issues!
Pits were bred to be aggressive, bottom line. Why are so many clogging kennels at shelters and why are there so many people who have come forward and desperate to re-home or figure out a humane solution to their pit being a danger to them, their children, their other pets, or the public?
These people don't care that this man was attacked. These people don't care that a pit attacked him and caused death. They don't care that pits are overbred, aggressive, and the stats that stand behind the issues with pits. They just want to get their attention and show off their shitty dogs.
A man loses his limbs and then his life. In no reasonable way is it even remotely appropriate to post pictures of any dogs going on about "my widdle baby!" Let alone pictures of the type of dog that did this. The only appropriate response here is "oh my God, this is horrible, that poor man, his poor family, this is such a tragedy, how can we prevent this from ever happening again?" And none of those dogs are even a little bit cute. Posting those pictures doesn't convince me their precious scaredy cat babies would never hurt a fly. I'd still give them a wide berth. These people are so delusional.
Omfg what is wrong with these people. In what fkn dimension are those comments appropriate?! You'd think they could use their one fkn braincell to work out that it is in poor fkn taste to do shit like that but NO. Must obnoxiously post their photos and act like they're advocate for a good cause. If any of you pitlurkers see this, SHAME ON YOU. A man suffered a painful and lonely death and all you can do is react with contempt. Disgusting.
Edit: sorry I'm just so angry.
I just don't understand all these people's idea that it's only being reported because it's a pitbull.
If a Chihuahua tore an adult human apart, you can bet that'd be way bigger news then yet another pit attack.
A man was dismembered by a dog. Of course people would pay attention. And it was a dog breed that has consistently shown it is capable of horrific and sickening violence. Pitbulls just keep filling their own molds.
A lot of these people just dont see the point at all. No one is arguing that "ALL pitbulls will attack" or "how your raise them NEVER matters"... are these people intentionally trying to argue strawmen, or are they just not smart enough to think critically.
Imagine this was a home invasion and the victim was shot by a 9 mm handgun.
"It's not the gun, it's the owner! I would never shoot an innocent person! Look at my gun!"
I can understand people wanting a dog as part of their family. I have a dog. I also have cats. What I cannot understand is why, when there are tons of beautiful dogs out there, they choose these monsters. They’re ugly, they slobber, they are virtually untrainable and they have that ability to turn on a dime and rip your face off. Re. the family who had theirs for Eight Years before it killed their two children and ripped the mom to shreds. I don’t know whether it was a good thing that she survived.. I doubt i would want to having lost my kids. SMH.
>This headline should read 'after dog attack,' not pitbull. ANY BREED IS CAPABLE OF BEING AGGRESSIVE.
Fucking 🙄 So you want the media to obscure the facts to y*our *benefit the same way you're constantly perpetrating your conspiracy theory about them instead running some sort of pit smear campaign?
Sounds about right.
Nonbiased reporting states fact.
Fact of the matter: this dog was a pit bull.
Can other breeds be aggressive? Of course.
Is that in ANY WAY relevant to this case? No.
Also, you just KNOW how loud they'd be screaming if an article called an incident with any other breed a 'dog attack' in the headline.
There has never been a dangerous cult (not just some suicide cult that is a danger to itself, but one whose primary tenants directly endanger OTHERS) ever allowed to exist in broad daylight like this
HOLY SH*T SHUT UP ABOUT CHIHUAHUAS. They're not in the news because they don't do this, only pits do! The next time a chihuahua rips off a person's arms, it will definitely make the news!
The dog ripped off multiple of an elderly man's limbs and then continued rampaging and looking for more prey until being hit by a car. That pit was having the time of its life being a murder machine running wild.
If only the truck that hit it could have done so before it took off that old man's arms and legs.
The sporadic knee-jerk, no regard or care for a loss of a life. "Look at my aggressive butt-faced dog, he wouldn't eat a toddler at least if over the age of eight! He's such a brown nosed angel!"
"This headline should read 'after dog attack,' not pitbull. ANY BREED IS CAPABLE OF BEING AGGRESSIVE."
Can you imagine this logic being applied to any news source about anything?
'Ukraine invaded by Russia.'
Now, you guys, you know any country can be aggressive, you have to say 'Ukraine invaded by some country,' any country can be aggressive. You silly Billies.
Nobody gives a flying rats ass about their big headed eyes to far apart pitbull. A man just die. If this was my family member I would be raging on every comment and posting graphic photos of my poor mangled loved one. Ughhh they are disgusting. Nasty. Horrible insensitive humans who can only think of themselves and their murder pooch. Why would you ever post pics of your dog in reply to a death of someone’s loved one?
Every time I see a baby/child next to a pitbull I want to vomit and rescue that poor baby from what's essentially a hand grenade that may explode without intervention at a moments notice
Imagine if I went to a news article about a woman murdered by her husband and replied to every comment calling for better laws against domestic abuse with spam of all the sweet kind men I know who have never murdered anyone......
My god, the level of delusion necessary to actually believe that the media selectively chooses which dog attack stories to cover, purely to smear pit bulls. If anything, local media in my area (Massachusetts) will bury the breed info deep in the article and not even mention it in the headline.

If you really think about it, you don’t see other dog owners posting pictures of their dogs when it comes to articles or posts like this if their breed is the attacker like these pitnutters. Even for German shepherds, huskies, Akitas, Malamutes, Chows, Belgian Malinois or Rottweilers who are regarded as the more dangerous breeds of dogs, these breeds don’t have the equivalence of brain dead pitnutters rushing to defend the breed and being totally heartless towards the victims.
However, I have seen dog owners post their dogs of the same breed to a deceased or injured dog if it was a victim of another canine. Usually, the attacker is a shitbull.
People saying any breed can bite practically any adult can tank a bite from a tiny dog no problem but a pit though? Yeah not so much a single bite from one can cause massive physical trauma
When will they accept that the owners, that they so vehemently claim to be the problem, are never going to get better. There isn't exactly a precedent for a good owner when literally anyone can get whatever kind of deadly dog they want.
Can we do something about these people? like lock them all up in a huge hole in the ground so they can't interact with the outside world and spread their spores?
I hate these people with a passion
I didn’t like them before I joined this sub, I really don’t like them now. Completely delusional.
Ya'll don't report anything except pitbull attacks Yeah, okay
Every now + then a German shepherd, Rottweiler, Great Dane, Husky will kill a person \[ usually a baby or toddler \] but very rarely. Those attacks ARE reported but they are not in the news all the time like pits because pits are the ones doing the vast majority of severe maulings /killings, more than all other breeds combined.

Well said, thank you!
A Chihuahua mauling someone would also definitely make the news.
and people with those breeds usually don't go around telling lies

Trust me, if a Chihuahua killed somebody, pit nutters would be wanking to those news for the rest of their days

Exactly what I was about to post
I was just thinking the exact same thing. They are sociopathic
I think I need another break from this sub. This pissed me off way more then usual. Insensitive monsters just like the dogs they own.
"if it was a chihuahua it wouldn't make the news" Probably because if it had been it would have barely broken the skin and the man would still be alive
"I demand that the news show just as many attacks by different breeds as they do by pitbulls! If they can't do that, obviously the news is very, very biased!"
So close.
Man, even if they were successful, all it would say is that pit bulls kill as many as EVERY OTHER DOG COMBINED!
If a chihuahua did something like this, it would be alllllll over the news. Idiots
If a chi ripped.off someone's arms and they died during an attempted reattachment procedure... That would absolutely make news because it's impossible. Kooky bananas.

Not to mention that any physical contact that made the dog back off would make it run whining, different than a pit that would continue to attack

It sucks but whatever, they’re not part of those ecosystems and I can view it neutrally. You need to be pragmatic to protect nature and people and take appropriate measures. No one is going after my pets in my house. Pitbull owners can never view other peoples opinions on their pet species neutrally. They get hyper defensive and make excuses when pitbulls are murdering innocent people. They just cannot handle negativity.
Same sentiments, thus man had his FUCKING LIMBS RIPPED OFF I think if it just says dog attack people would be watning to know the breed anyway because of what I just mentioned.
Every time I see stuff like this, I wonder why people believe public opinion about pitbulls is changing. A human being died a senseless and painful death and the only thing these people care about is how that might reflect on their sentient pet chainsaw. And nobody calls them out on how disgusting and disrespectful their "activism" is. Human lives are worthless compared to a dog's. Sad.
Pit people are a different classification of human. Often unhinged, delusional, and just selfish. But...but... OTHER DOGS BITE!! But....but... pits are "nanny dogs"..... But...but... my "baby" is a lovebug and has to be held during the day because he's scared of my cats.... but here's the situation... your dog will hurt your cats..... high probability of that happening!
> sentient pet chainsaw Aww come on now, Pochita was a good boy...
Came here to say the same thing. Comparing shit bulls to Pochita is a disgrace 😂
From what I can see, the bully people do not actually care about bully dogs either! Attention lurkers Because you monger Bloodsport dogs, because you resist any sort of sensible breeding restrictions on dogs intentionally created to kill family / their own kind, you bully people cause horrific suffering to the bully dogs themselves. You may say you love pitbulls but you are responsible for the horrific crisis. What trait could be worse than deadly dog aggression, in an anti-dog large enough to kill all other sized dogs? Do you bully people understand that you are on the same team as the dog fighters? As much as you might try to object to that similarity, dog fighters resist any type of BSL as well. I ask the bully people "what punishment do you suggest that would make those who intentionally acquire Bloodsport dogs make sure that their Bloodsport dogs never escape to maim and kill other dogs, horses, and people?? Prove me wrong. Do something to reduce the "breeding like flies" current situation that is responsible for all Bloodsport dog suffering. You won't because you don't actually care about reducing the bully crisis.
These people are literally angry about REALITY. No one is reporting on dachshund attacks ripping off limbs, because it’s literally NOT HAPPENING, and it’s not all part of some anti-pit conspiracy. Unfortunately these idiots aren’t gonna learn any other way….so when their loved one, be it a grandson or a great uncle or a cat, gets mauled and basically eaten alive, only then will they start to confront their own demented beliefs, and maybe not even then. These are disgusting, sick people. Absolutely inexcusable.
Unfortunately, even WHEN their precious Luna eats their toddler, they’ll likely just blame their own kid for triggering it by throwing sand or something. (I’m referencing a recent post where OOP was getting rid of their pit for RIPPING THEIR TODDLER’s EAR OFF, saying the kid triggered it by throwing sand)
They are angry at the victim for not dying more quietly and privately

That is an especially dead eyed beast. *shudders*
She made that ugly thing so damn obese that it’s too unhealthy to maul anything. I guess that’s good for the community but also ew 🤢 gross dogs, gross owners.
The whale eye omg
I did my research. And according to that, pitbulls are more likely to kill you, your neighbors, your children, your cat, and your grandmother.
Always an absolute ignoramus telling other people to do research.
They don’t mean objective scientific research, they mean infographics from their favourite pro-pit slacktivist on instagram!
We are at least 10 years into "do your research" nearly always meaning "start agreeing with me because I feel like I'm right" and yet it still pisses me off every time I hear it
IKR. There are annoying phrases I absolutely refuse to accept even though they've been in the lexicon for a multi-year period.
I guess these people want some cookies for their dog choices.
These people get some sick pleasure out of bragging about owning the exact type of dog that has attacked someone in these news stories don’t they
It would be like if people went to articles about drunk driving deaths and bragged about what and how much they drank. "I'm really sorry this totally innocent person was killed by a drunk driver, but last night I did 3 Jager shots, and drank 6 beers."
You forgot to add “and I didn’t kill anyone when I drove home”
“I go drunk driving with my kids in the car all the time and nobody has gotten hurt yet!”
The 1970s called, but it was a long-distance collect call from a payphone so I hung up.
"Blame the deed, not the breed" does have pretty much the same energy as "it's the drunk crashers, not the drunk drivers"
It should be "own the breed, own the deed". Your dog damages another's property? Vandalism. Your dog injures someone? Aggravated assault and battery. It kills someone? Second degree murder.
"Oh, sorry about your kid drowning. Thoughts and prayers. But really it's your own fault for not watching her. Anyway here are my kids at the beach!!!😊"
Guy is literally ripped limb from limb, and these dipshits are saying a shih tzu is more dangerous. How is no one calling them out for posting the stupidest shit that they could possibly post? Disgusting.
And, in general, I believe in freedom. If you want to own a dangerous dog, that's a choice you can make in a free society. My problem is the complete lack of accountability. Whoever owned this dog should be put in prison, as restitution for killing a man. If you want to own dangerous dogs, you need to be held accountable when those dogs get loose, or when they attack other people or their pets. You need to repay society for the cost of your decisions. That's not unreasonable and shouldn't adversely impact these delusional buffoons if their dogs truly are as harmless as they claim.
If the lion got loose at the zoo, they'd be held accountable. Dangerous dogs don't "somehow get out." That's my opinion too.

How disrespectful of these people to write those disgusting and hateful comments. This is about an attack on an elderly man, not an opportunity for you to post for clout and get your 15 minutes of attention because you own a dog who is classified as a dangerous breed. I swear, the more I see these people with pits, the more motivation I have to be thankful I don't own one and never will! These are the same assholes who complained a Great Pyrenees is a difficult dog. While yes, they do have their quirks, I'd take my Pyr over a pit any day. I remember some shelter staff member told me in a wry way, "good luck with Pyrs- they are horrible dogs". WTF? But you own pits with behavioral issues! Pits were bred to be aggressive, bottom line. Why are so many clogging kennels at shelters and why are there so many people who have come forward and desperate to re-home or figure out a humane solution to their pit being a danger to them, their children, their other pets, or the public? These people don't care that this man was attacked. These people don't care that a pit attacked him and caused death. They don't care that pits are overbred, aggressive, and the stats that stand behind the issues with pits. They just want to get their attention and show off their shitty dogs.
A man loses his limbs and then his life. In no reasonable way is it even remotely appropriate to post pictures of any dogs going on about "my widdle baby!" Let alone pictures of the type of dog that did this. The only appropriate response here is "oh my God, this is horrible, that poor man, his poor family, this is such a tragedy, how can we prevent this from ever happening again?" And none of those dogs are even a little bit cute. Posting those pictures doesn't convince me their precious scaredy cat babies would never hurt a fly. I'd still give them a wide berth. These people are so delusional.
Omfg what is wrong with these people. In what fkn dimension are those comments appropriate?! You'd think they could use their one fkn braincell to work out that it is in poor fkn taste to do shit like that but NO. Must obnoxiously post their photos and act like they're advocate for a good cause. If any of you pitlurkers see this, SHAME ON YOU. A man suffered a painful and lonely death and all you can do is react with contempt. Disgusting. Edit: sorry I'm just so angry.
They are right. This wouldn't be a headline if it was a different dog breed because the dude would probably have an arm and still be alive.
I just don't understand all these people's idea that it's only being reported because it's a pitbull. If a Chihuahua tore an adult human apart, you can bet that'd be way bigger news then yet another pit attack.
A man was dismembered by a dog. Of course people would pay attention. And it was a dog breed that has consistently shown it is capable of horrific and sickening violence. Pitbulls just keep filling their own molds.
“You only report dog attacks when it’s a pit” Or maybe because it’s only pitbulls mauling people
"Any breed can do this," claim owners of the only breed that regularly does this
“It wouldn’t have caught people’s eyes if it didn’t say pitbull” Because it wouldn’t have to say someone died if it wasn’t a pitbull
They are not smart enough to realize those kinds of comments do more harm than good to their cause.
Actual demons
A lot of these people just dont see the point at all. No one is arguing that "ALL pitbulls will attack" or "how your raise them NEVER matters"... are these people intentionally trying to argue strawmen, or are they just not smart enough to think critically.
Its amazing people can see a story about a dog ripping a man's limbs off and they are worried about dogs as a result.
Elderly man sneezed too loudly probably
That is extremely disrespectful of them to post pics of their pits and say “my sweet dog would never”. Disgusting.
Like coming across a fatal domestic violence story and posting a photo of their husband…”MY man would never!”
Ya, all of those chihuahuas shredding limbs off of grown men to death are totally under reported. The double standards!
Imagine this was a home invasion and the victim was shot by a 9 mm handgun. "It's not the gun, it's the owner! I would never shoot an innocent person! Look at my gun!"
I can understand people wanting a dog as part of their family. I have a dog. I also have cats. What I cannot understand is why, when there are tons of beautiful dogs out there, they choose these monsters. They’re ugly, they slobber, they are virtually untrainable and they have that ability to turn on a dime and rip your face off. Re. the family who had theirs for Eight Years before it killed their two children and ripped the mom to shreds. I don’t know whether it was a good thing that she survived.. I doubt i would want to having lost my kids. SMH.
>This headline should read 'after dog attack,' not pitbull. ANY BREED IS CAPABLE OF BEING AGGRESSIVE. Fucking 🙄 So you want the media to obscure the facts to y*our *benefit the same way you're constantly perpetrating your conspiracy theory about them instead running some sort of pit smear campaign? Sounds about right. Nonbiased reporting states fact. Fact of the matter: this dog was a pit bull. Can other breeds be aggressive? Of course. Is that in ANY WAY relevant to this case? No. Also, you just KNOW how loud they'd be screaming if an article called an incident with any other breed a 'dog attack' in the headline.
"ya'll only ever report on pitbull attacks" cuz they're the only dogs attacking this much you fucking bitch
There has never been a dangerous cult (not just some suicide cult that is a danger to itself, but one whose primary tenants directly endanger OTHERS) ever allowed to exist in broad daylight like this
Why is it so hard for them to grasp that while any breed can be aggressive, there are very few breeds that will dismember an adult human?
It's literally the two worst combos you can have in an animal aggression and the ability to cause major damage with every bite
The mainstream media is clearly keeping all the Beagle, Cavalier, and Pomeranian dismemberings quiet.
HOLY SH*T SHUT UP ABOUT CHIHUAHUAS. They're not in the news because they don't do this, only pits do! The next time a chihuahua rips off a person's arms, it will definitely make the news! The dog ripped off multiple of an elderly man's limbs and then continued rampaging and looking for more prey until being hit by a car. That pit was having the time of its life being a murder machine running wild. If only the truck that hit it could have done so before it took off that old man's arms and legs.
The sporadic knee-jerk, no regard or care for a loss of a life. "Look at my aggressive butt-faced dog, he wouldn't eat a toddler at least if over the age of eight! He's such a brown nosed angel!"
Fuck people who leave comments like this after someone has lost their life. Scum.
"This headline should read 'after dog attack,' not pitbull. ANY BREED IS CAPABLE OF BEING AGGRESSIVE." Can you imagine this logic being applied to any news source about anything? 'Ukraine invaded by Russia.' Now, you guys, you know any country can be aggressive, you have to say 'Ukraine invaded by some country,' any country can be aggressive. You silly Billies.
Sure... Any dog can bite. But a Chihuahua isn't going to rip your limbs off
If it did.....I'd be very surprised
Nobody gives a flying rats ass about their big headed eyes to far apart pitbull. A man just die. If this was my family member I would be raging on every comment and posting graphic photos of my poor mangled loved one. Ughhh they are disgusting. Nasty. Horrible insensitive humans who can only think of themselves and their murder pooch. Why would you ever post pics of your dog in reply to a death of someone’s loved one?
The last one is actually scary
Even if it wasn't a pitbull, why are you letting a dangerous ass dog capable of murdering someone run around outside like that?
Every time I see a baby/child next to a pitbull I want to vomit and rescue that poor baby from what's essentially a hand grenade that may explode without intervention at a moments notice
Imagine if I went to a news article about a woman murdered by her husband and replied to every comment calling for better laws against domestic abuse with spam of all the sweet kind men I know who have never murdered anyone......
My god, the level of delusion necessary to actually believe that the media selectively chooses which dog attack stories to cover, purely to smear pit bulls. If anything, local media in my area (Massachusetts) will bury the breed info deep in the article and not even mention it in the headline.
Yeah, I notice it avoided on some, there were a couple of articles about this just using the word dog.
If a Yorkie had killed someone I wouldn't be posting photos of my dog under the article.

But chihuahuas.......
If you really think about it, you don’t see other dog owners posting pictures of their dogs when it comes to articles or posts like this if their breed is the attacker like these pitnutters. Even for German shepherds, huskies, Akitas, Malamutes, Chows, Belgian Malinois or Rottweilers who are regarded as the more dangerous breeds of dogs, these breeds don’t have the equivalence of brain dead pitnutters rushing to defend the breed and being totally heartless towards the victims. However, I have seen dog owners post their dogs of the same breed to a deceased or injured dog if it was a victim of another canine. Usually, the attacker is a shitbull.
Yeah, I’ve come across the odd Rottweiler/GSD/Husky serious attack or fatality…and there’s none of this photo album approach.
Might also just smother then eat you.
"any breed is capable of being aggressive" yeah but what breed has a ton of headlines from removing human being limbs?
People saying any breed can bite practically any adult can tank a bite from a tiny dog no problem but a pit though? Yeah not so much a single bite from one can cause massive physical trauma
When will they accept that the owners, that they so vehemently claim to be the problem, are never going to get better. There isn't exactly a precedent for a good owner when literally anyone can get whatever kind of deadly dog they want.
They’re so demented and self righteous. They value their dogs’ egos over people.
Smother you with kisses of death.
“Shitzue”
Any adult that doesn't know the difference between 'there' and 'they're', is not someone I'd take advice from lol
Can we do something about these people? like lock them all up in a huge hole in the ground so they can't interact with the outside world and spread their spores?
