Enough of these ” it’s not the dog, it’s the owner ” comments.
These fucking dogs are bad bastards and need to banned in Ireland once and for all.
My story? And this is gas..
Was walking in my local park a couple of weeks ago and some scumbag had one of these on the lead, as we walked by each other the dog ( yes the dog ) completely locked eyes with me and would not break eye contact, going as far to look behind after me.
I’ll admit I eventually broke eye contact.
That was a wdf moment. Bad bastards…

Time again for pitbull bingo?
“My little angle wouldn’t hurt a fly!”
“The child looked at the dog in the eye for .127 seconds longer than they should have!”
“He’s just playing!”
“He’s just anxious!”
“It wasn’t that bad”
“It’s not the breed, it’s the owner!’
“He’s never behaved like that before, I swear!”
“Chihuahuas are WAY more aggressive!”
“He’s normally a sweetie pie”
“That was ACTUALLY a 3/4 pitbull 1/4 labrador mix!”
Go on, take your pick

I helped on the scene of a dog attack where an XL bully attacked a small mixed breed dog, the small dog owners just grabbed their dogs and kids and left the scene, and the XL bully collapsed from being choked out. Long story short, those dogs are legally required to be muzzled and the man walking the dog didn’t own it, he was a friend of the owners. Not even six months later, just a few weeks ago, I saw that same dog being walked in the same place without a muzzle again. The guy was with the owner this time. Didn’t even look at me, or say anything, even though I was on my hands and knees helping his blood covered dog to breathe and organising a car to take him to an emergency clinic. Friends of the owner and walker later saw my reddit post and were aggressive with me for implying the walker was irresponsible and the dog shouldn’t be walked like that anymore. Those people deserve to be in prison and that dog should never be around other animals. But I’m the bad guy to them.

Family near me has one. They’ve had it a few years and tried to get training but it never stuck.
They have a 4 year old and a new born, maybe 6 months old max. They were told by the trainer that they need to gree the dog first when they come home. He’s a large dog and is nothing but muscle. The owners would, in no way shape or form, have a chance at controlling it if it went mad.
No idea why they still have it.

Weak people wanting to be strong so they get a dangerous dog because they feel empowered and trendy also.
Always coming with ‘it’s not the dog, it’s the owner’ until it’s their dog who attacks a child for absolutely no reason whatsoever, then the owner is silent.
Such owners should be placed in a cage with their hungry dogs and tied to the floor covered in meat juices.
See how confident they all are then with their ‘good owner skills’.

Any dog no matter size shouldn’t be left alone with a child. Children don’t know what a dog can do and dogs don’t know what children can do. So when baby grabs at dog playfully, the dog might panic and bite.
That being said, a level up is adding the type of dog to the equation. A yorkie will bite and cause a certain level of damage… these muscle bound XL dogs are something else. Bred for what purpose other than to look scary? I’ve been around large protector guardian breed dogs, and I’m very careful where I pet and if I get them riled up. I’ve been body slammed by an American bull dog (100lbs) as they played with me or got excited to see me. Sweet heart of a dog with a bulldozer body that knocked my 5ft11 self to the floor with the air out of my lungs. I was left with four straight lines of bruises down my thighs when said dog jumped up to give me a small kiss on the cheek, her weight coming down on my legs and her dull claws. Still left marks on me.
I love all types of dogs, I actually prefer the bigger sized ones as they are big babies usually. But I could never and would never bring one into my house if I wasn’t planning on training it, keeping myself and others safe (muzzle if law requires and a good lead) or if there were children in the house. Guest children you can’t plan for but not letting the child alone with the dog at all.

As horrific as this is, not really surprising. People are stupid. We saw the protests for the breed ban in England full of EDL types of course. Once again the government shows us how inept they are at solving a long time issue. I think lawmakers are almost entirely to blame for what happened to this child.

Having a child or small animal in a household with a dangerous dog breed should be considered abuse. Doesn’t matter if your dog is the sweetest thing ever and “wouldn’t hurt a fly”, that’s what they all say before the dog snaps

Don’t blame the dog that has been thoroughly bred to be violent. Blame the people who decide to own an animal with these instincts, and let it walk around with no muzzle.
The dog has no idea why it’s being punished and put down. This is similar to owning a leopard and then putting it down when it acts like a leopard.

Literally zero reason for these breeds to exist. Bred to be aggressive and powerful. Which would be fine if they lived in the wild and needed to hunt, but they don’t.

Retriever breeds can be prone to canine rage syndrome, also bull terriers and springer spaniels.

I love how all pitbull and bully owners the first thing they feel like they have to say is “oh my Timmy wouldn’t hurt a fly, he’s not like the others”. Ban the fuckers.

Ban those fucking dogs! If it was a wild animal causing this much attacks and deaths in residential areas they would’ve been put down years ago!
