About insurance companies, pit bulls are one of the most powerful dog breeds. So yes when they attack a human it is not a pretty sight.
But that's is not to say there are more pit bull bites per year than the German Shepard or lab.. It just says than when a pit bull attacks there will be more damage.

You can't blame a breed for being muscular, athletic, and smart(?). I am saying if you own a pit bull it should be well restrained by it's owner.

To the OP sorry your having so much trouble with your neighbors but don't punish the breed.

The neighbor needs his ass whipped...period!
There is a critical point reached in the life of a chronic asshole wherein a simple ass kicking is all the correction needed to change this person into a normal functioning member of society, however, if this critical point is passed, the ass kicking must then increase in severity proportionate to the amount of time which has passed, and the number of people who are affected by this person's behavior. If said ass kicking is not of sufficient severity in relation to the behavior of the asshole in question, it will actually reaffirm their self-centered behavior, and require an increase in the intensity of future corrective beatings beyond survivable levels for the average human being. Pity.

Forget the dogs, remove the head from your shovel or axe and beat the shit out of the guy. When he gets out of the hospital and you get out of county do it again.

try this http://www.valuepetsupplies.com/pet-safe-outdoor-bark-control.html?utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=cse&utm_content=PBC0011216&CAWELAID=120014350000016107&catargetid=1650293829&cadevice=c&cagpspn=pla&aid=450&kw={keyword}&gclid=CNeW37nN-LgCFS9dQgod0UgAyA

Heres the only way your going to resolve this situation and it has 2 possible outcomes, 1 of which seems entirely unlikely. The unlikely situation is that you talk with your neighbor, or leave an anonymous letter expressing your observations, the fact that you feel unsafe around his untrained dogs, and the barking is a constant annoyance.

If this doesnt work heres option 2, call animal control. if a residence gets enough complaints about their animals the dogs will be taken from them until the problem is fixed. seeing as how i know how crazy i would get if somebody took my dog, batten down the hatches.

If your a legal grower/consumer, then i say all animal control. If your not, then you have a really loud security system next door thats gonna make thieves walk to the next block over.

Nature or nurture?
I'm referring to the dogs as well as their owners.

It's a little of one and a lot of the other IMO. Just like there are some people who are fucked in the head from being very small, the occasional dog can be that way, usually as a result of breeding from dogs with known bad temperaments.

A friend of mine breeds Ridgebacks, and about 5 years back, he had a litter, and this one pup was just vicious from the start. The sire and dam are lovely dogs, soft as a beery turd, as were the other 7 pups in this litter, but this one pup attacked everything that moved, including people. this is rare, so generally it is nurture most of thw time, but just occasionally, you get a wrong un.

did they cull the pup?

Eventually. He was never going to let anyone else take the dog once this issue came to light, but he's so soft-hearted that he was going to try and keep him, but it just wasn't safe. Sad. The pup made it 9 months before matey decided it was cruel to let the dog live effectively in prison for the next 10-15 years.

This reminds me of a time I was walking my Dog through Del Paso Heights, a pack of about 15 chihuahas ran up on us, biting at my ankles and trying to bite my big as rot-pit-Doberman mix! I had to hold her up so she wouldn't get ahold of none of them cuz it woulda been a rap but them lil things was vicious!

RE Post 123

Your first post was 7/22 and this is still going on. Now you let this fuck keep you locked up in your own house?

When you didn't handle this day 1 by calling animal control, when you didn't confront this prick, when you fixed the fence, he knew he had you by the balls.

My friend, there are times when you gotta stand and be counted. Unfortunately, now he's got the high hand.

You've got that right. I've got a Weim, very similar dogs to the Ridgeback in terms of weight size and temperament as a breed (obviously each individual dog within a breed is different), and he's a bit lairy, doesn't really want anything to do with anyone except me. The thought of him being right out of control and on a mission to kill like that ill-fated pup scares me.

Just heard this news: http://blog.pe.com/2013/08/12/riverside-rescuer-describes-pit-bulls-attack-on-woman/

RIVERSIDE: Rescuer describes pit bulls’ attack on woman (4:15 P.M. UPDATE)
August 12, 2013 by Brian Rokos

A woman who was walking her dog was mauled in the face Monday morning, Aug. 12, when she was attacked by pit bulls that apparently broke free from their yard near downtown Riverside.

The unidentified woman, described as 45-50 years old, was hospitalized, Riverside police Lt. Guy Toussaint said. She was bitten on the right side of her face and had a “gaping wound” on her right arm, Riverside County Animal Services spokesman John Welsh wrote in a news release.

The dogs’ owner was cited, and the dogs will euthanized. The owner was apologetic.

The attack occurred about 10:50 a.m. in the 6600 block of 6th Street, Toussaint said. The pit bulls apparently first went after the woman’s little dog, and then attacked her when she picked up her dog.


Terry Fury, 59, a resident of nearby Locust Street, helped rescue the woman.

“I was drinking coffee and I heard hellacious screaming,” Fury said in a phone interview. “At first I thought it might have been one of the kids across the street. But then it continued for five seconds and I went to the front door … and I could see two pit bulls on this lady, and she was lying on the curb.”

Fury thought about grabbing a bat to attack the dogs but decided he had to act more quickly.

“I drop-kicked one of them. It went flying and decided to leave,” Fury said.

He then saw a man who Welsh said was a relative of the dogs’ owner hunched over the woman, trying to pry the other dog off the woman’s head.

“It was locked on her face,” Fury said.

After the dog was removed, people ran up with towels to cover the woman’s face. Some called 911.

“Everybody in this neighborhood came to this woman’s aid,” Fury said.

He said he sees the woman walking her dog every other day. She stops to talk with her neighbors.

The owner of the dogs, Mauricio De La Barrera, 29, said the attack was an accident and that the dogs broke through the gate.

De La Barrera was taking a shower, so he didn’t see the attack, he said. But he expressed profound sadness for the victim.

“It’s a very sad thing,” he said. “I’m devastated.”

Both dogs are males, he said. Conniver is a 2-year-old show dog, De La Barrera said. The other is 4-month-old Guero.

Neither dog had ever shown signs of aggression, even when he took them to a dog park and when they were around his young children, he said.

“If you mistreat a dog, they’re going to be aggressive,” De La Barrera said. “But these were family dogs.

The dogs were signed over to be euthanized. The adult dog did not have a license, as required by state law, Welsh wrote. It was not vaccinated for rabies. The dogs will be sent to a county lab for rabies testing, Welsh wrote.

De La Barrera was cited for having two animals straying. He was also cited for having an unlicensed adult dog, Welsh wrote.

“All dog owners, especially those with strong, muscular dogs, such as pit bulls, must always be aware if they have adequate boundaries for their pets,” Animal Services Director Robert Miller wrote in the news release. “We think this terrible incident today illustrates why that is so important.”

Fury said he is a dog lover and is concerned about how some pit bulls are raised.

Those who like pit bulls say that the animals are great family pets, especially with children. Advocates say that the majority of pit bulls never bite, but there is a disproportionate amount of media coverage whenever there is a pit bull attack. That’s usually because the bites are often severe. A pit bull’s instinct, because of its ancient breeding, is to grab and hold on.

Detractors say that pit bulls are miniature time bombs whose owners sometimes don’t properly train and care for them. Some people have called for pit bulls to be sterilized.

The debate has become even more heated in Riverside County since county supervisors directed staff to draft an ordinance requiring that all pit bulls and pit bull mixes be spayed or neutered, except those used for licensed breeding. Pit bull lovers disagree with laws that single out their pets.

Pit bulls are often the victims of cruelty by owners who train them to fight, and those who don’t measure up are often dumped at shelters or turned loose, Sarah Kosinski, of Corona, founder of Change of Heart Pit Bull Rescue, said in a May interview. Her rescue fosters unwanted dogs from shelters and sponsors free pit bull spay and neuter clinics.

Like any large breed, pit bulls require exercise, structure, socialization and a proper enclosure, she said.

“Don’t hate pit bulls,” Fury said. “Just because they’re prize fighters, doesn’t mean they need to be bred to prize fight. It’s the environment they grow up in.”

Rottweilers were recorded for 37 mauling deaths mostly during the 1990s. German shepherds followed with 17, Siberian Huskies at 15, Alaskan Malamutes at 12, and Doberman pinschers with nine

Guess your stupid malamutes kill people too idiot
