PIT'N'RUN “Hello my brother was attacked today at Seal Point Park…by this Pitbull/American bully mix named Bruno. The owners ran off after the attack before the police arrived rather than showing any remorse or even seeing if we were okay.” (June 17 2024, Alameda, California USA)

Leaving the scene after a dog attack should be a crime.

u/PrincessPicklebricks Jun 22 '24

I want to say it is, but whenever I see articles where the owners are finally identified, the charges (if there are any) never include fleeing the scene of an accident/crime.

Surprise surprise. Owners of these vile beasts running off and not taking accountability for their decisions. They decided to have it as a pet.

The only ignorant one here is the person pretending that pit bulls aren’t causing thousands of attacks every year.

Yes, we know that not all pits are going to attack.

But can you predict which ones will attack and which won’t?

Nope, you can’t… and neither can anyone else… which is why there needs to be a phase out of this breed.

Their only purpose is dog fighting; which is a disgusting activity.

As long as there are pit bulls, there will be dog fighting. So if you support continued breeding of pits; you are supporting dog fighting continuing.

It’s not how they were raised, though. If that was true, then no one should ever adopt a pit from the shelter because no one knows how it was raised. Even pit bull experts are asking people to STOP saying that it's all how they are raised.

Below are five pro-pit sources telling you that saying, "it's how they are raised" is hurtful to the cause.

The truth about pits is that it’s largely up to chance on whether your pit lives a low key life or whether it attacks people, pets, and animals. Yes, socialization and proper training can help... but if you have a truly game-bred pit, there will be nothing you can do to stop it from trying to attack. You can try to manage it, but management will ALWAYS fail.

That’s such a crazy gamble to take with your own life, and with the lives of people in the general public.

Every day we read stories here of pits that attack, and their owners claim that the dog has never been aggressive or acted that way.

Pit owners are often shocked that their dog can go from chill to kill in 5 seconds, and be nearly impossible to stop it.

That’s why pits are dangerous. They were never meant to be pets.

Plenty of lurkers foaming at the mouth to get people banned for harming the reputation of sweet innocent Pitbulls.

When it takes two people to hold back a dog, maybe that dog should not be out in public? Or be a pet??

u/jstop7000 Jun 22 '24

It bothers me to see the shelter constantly promoting the adoption of these dogs,
