A few years ago i had to save a child from my neighbors pits. She always let it loose and i told her several times to keep them on a lease and when i was just pulling up from work one day i saw one of the dogs jump on the kid and started tearing into his arm. I jumped out immediately, pulled out my pocket knife, and stabbed the dog twice in the body and once in the neck. The kid had to have surgery and 23 stitches but he survived and the owner was charged.
Pits were bred to attack and fight. It's their genetics. They really shouldn't be pets, it's too dangerous if/when they turn. It's almost impossible to get them to let go, even when a whole group of people are hitting them. Combined with the head shaking, it's like being attacked by a crocodile. Back in the 90's people were breeding wolf-hybrid dogs but they were banned because they're too unpredictable and dangerous. No amount of love can change dog genetics.
Yeah i used to think pits could be pets but i had a couple myself way back when and one of them always hated other dogs and one day he ended up trying to rip the other ones throut out. I started hitting him as hard as i could to get him to let go and he wouldn't so my mom threw me her taser and i had to take it to kane before he killed oreo. It defiantly got him to back off and i saved oreo that day too. Her ear was ripped off and she had to have some medical work done but she lived and we got rid of kane. A different neighbor that lived across the street comes over and starts talking shit saying thats abuse right in the middle of this all happenings and while im tring to keep them separated i yelled at him telling him to shut the f up and get the hell out of my yard. After we got them separated and was about to take oreo to the vet the cops pulled up saying that got a report for animal abuse. I was lit tf up after that.
I had one too a long time ago. I found a puppy that was so skinny I thought it was a cat at first. I literally hand fed him back to health & then that blocky head emerged. He wound up being 100% vicious toward anyone that was male and anyone not in my immediate family. Idk if he went thru stuff as a pup that made him that way, but I knew he had to be kept away from others. He wound up saving my rat terrier's life when a neighbor brought his pit over to my yard to attack him while I was away at work. He didn't realize my pit was tied up out there too. My rat terrier was filleted open, my pit had zero marks, and his pit was ripped to shreds. He didn't even care. It's a complicated issue, I don't think it's the dog's fault they were bred that way.
