3 "Bully Breed" Dogs Kill Owner in Park

OMG what is that monstrosity on the left side of OP's link, is that a pit? What sane person would want to own such a thing.

It's their fault! If only they weren't scared, didn't make the wrong face, didn't make the wrong noise, etc. those beautiful innocent pitties would have never done anything wrong!

The Humane Society, which contracts with the city for animal control and welfare services, said that the surviving victim had tried to assist the owner during the attack and sustained "serious bite injuries."

Officers have security video of the owner walking the dogs toward the park before the attack. The Humane Society described the dogs' breed as an American bully variant known as an XL bully.

R1, some people like ugly things. Pitbull lovers are those people.

Why would anyone want such a thing when there are so many other dogs you could have?

I met an Irish Wolfhound yesterday who was humongous but absolutely one of the sweetest and coolest dogs I’ve ever met.

I Googled this chart of bully breeds, in case you're like me and had no idea what they are.

Dog of peace!

Oh, Perftronnie is back!

People who own pit bulls or any dangerous dog breed are mentally ill. Especially when they keep the beasts around small children.

[QUOTE] Why would anyone want such a thing when there are so many other dogs you could have?

Most of these owners are stupid and short-sighted. They get a pit-mix from a shelter because they the shelters are full of them and they are cheaper fees to adopt than other dogs, because the shelters want to dump them. Then they complain about discrimination when they can't rent anywhere with these dogs. It's an IQ problem.

I think the owner knows if they have a "bully" regardless of the breed and should muzzle them in crowded public spaces to protect themselves, dogs (theirs and others) and other people.

Uncharacteristic of me but it's not safe to leave the house-WITHOUT A GUN!

Why don't they state the breed in the article?

R11 because they buy into the propaganda online that they're just misunderstood so they feel like they're doing an extra good thing by taking the dog 'nobody wants'

California has gone too far left that they're starting to care more about animals than people.

There's a reason nobody wants them. There's a reason they are rejected by (almost) everyone. Obviously.

Seems like it might be a straight man's concept of masculinity.

An XL bully is the largest kind of American bully dog.

The UK government published guidance to help identify XL bullies, which are not recognised as a specific breed.

They are described as large dogs "with a muscular body and blocky head, suggesting great strength and power for [their] size".

The late owner's neighbors are resting more easily today.

Not every dog breed is pet material, and should be classified as "exotic" and prohibited accordingly.

Lots of dog nutters in the UK. I thought it was mostly an American mental illness, but stupidity doesn't require a passport. From the article: "For the dog to do what he did, for me, was totally out of the blue," he said. Another family member said the baby and the dog were "like two peas in a pod". She added that the mother of the injured baby was "devastated". "It is shocking. You see and hear about it all the time, but you don't actually think it is going to happen to your own family," she said.

I'd be ok with people owning these fucking monsters if they only killed their owners and didn't touch anybody else

The people who are most likely to own these deranged beasts, are those who are least likely to know how to control them. It's an intelligence issue.

Suicide by pup

It's so saddening that shelters are full of these unadoptable beasts. My local social media are persistently spammed with appeals to potential adopters, always with some hopeful description like:

[italic]Mister Fluffybuns was rescued from an empty lot where he'd been living after his previous owner abandoned him. He's reactive around food and also tends to guard his food and his water bowl. MUST BE IN A HOUSE WITH NO CHILDREN OR OTHER PETS. We've found it's best to walk him in areas where he won't encounter smaller dogs. Mister Fluffybuns can react strongly to darkness and also bright light. He's just looking for the right home where he can snuggle up with his new forever family like the cuddly love bug he is! Ideally a home with no men, since he gets territorial around men. ADOPT MISTER FLUFFYBUNS TODAY![/italic]

And Mister Fluffybuns remains in the shelter, taking up space that could be used for adoptable dogs, eating a ton of food, until eventually he's euthanized or fobbed off on some soft-headed, soft-hearted sucker.

I think about how this kind of psycho dog destroyed This American Life's Ira Glass's marriage because of his wife's insane devotion to their psycho pit which dominated and constricted their lives

Pit Bulls, XL bullies and American bulldogs are all walking death machines.

Stick to a cute Frenchie or a Boston Terrier.

I don't know if this guys dogs were adopted from a shelter but I do know from my experience shelters don't know much about the dogs they adopt out. Several years ago I searched Petfinder and specified "good with children, cats and other dogs". I saw what looked like a really cute beagle mix described as " Albert is the perfect gentleman". He was in a prison dog training program. I made an appointment and drove the 50 miles to see the dog. Out comes this giant beagle, about 60 or 70 pounds and so calm.

There was something about this dog that looked familiar but I couldn't think of what it was. Anyway they gave me the training journal from the assigned trainer and I took the dog home. He was so calm on the drive home, he curled up in the back seat and napped the entire drive home. They made the comment that Albert needed to lose some weight, when I got home and petted him I could tell he was solid muscle. So I'm sitting on the couch reading the journal and when I get to the second page and read "If Albert attacks one more dog I'm afraid they will put him down", I look at Albert and he comes over and puts his front feet on the couch between my knees, grabs my arm and is staring into my eyes. It sent a chill through me. I said "OK Albert, let's go for a ride". On my way back to the prison I called the shelter lady and she said well I'll have to call you Monday and talk about what we can do. I drove up to the prison and pushed the buzzer and fhey said visiting hours are over. I said " I'm not here to see the wizard, I adopted one of your dogs earlier today and I'm scared of him, you can send someone down to get him from me or you can untie his leash from the door but I'm not leaving with him".

Shelters regularly 'mis-label' pitbull mixes. It's the only way to get rid of them. I know for a fact that shelter workers make up facts on the spot when someone asks about the heritage of a mixed breed. "He's a lab / poodle mix with a bit of spaniel" "She's a ridgeback/retriever with some lab" They just make up shit.

I neglected to say what was familiar about the dog, I realized later he had pit bull eyes and forehead, otherwise he looked like a beagle.

This is what i hate most about women. All these fucking shelters are run by women who won't put down obviously dangerous dogs and keep enabling it by pushing them off on unsuspecting new owners.

Women's devotion to animals is a sickness. I'm dead serious.

Also, Im glad the owners dog got killed and no one else .

There's a subreddit called r/banpitbulls and good lord, the absolute carnage that happens daily all over the world due to these beasts.

I'm a dog lover, but these aren't dogs as we know them. These beasts are to dogs what bobcats are to housecats.

Only bobcats weren't bred by humans specifically to kill.

They look to have Presa Canario in their bloodline, just by size, but could be bull mastiff. This is one time I feel for the dogs, they were bred by idiots, for size and aggression no doubt, and because some ass has to overcompensate for some other shortcoming they need to have a slew of dogs like that.

Kinda feel like the dogs deserved that kill as someone mentioned he was being cruel to the dogs and warned him.

Also glad the dogs got BE, they wouldn't cause anything but carnage anywhere else unless sent to a farm specifically for these breeds (which do exist, Villallobos for example).

R28: Believe me when I say I'm laughing with you and not at you! Tears-streaming laughter, because your rescue attempt reminded me of Prancer.

Does anyone remember Prancer The Chihuahua?! I know rescue-chick remembers. That was one of Datalounge's most hilarious episodes; his adoption ad was worthy of the Pulitzer.

Prancer was adopted eventually, and our Emotional Support Therapist, Miss Peanut, took him in paw as her intern.

Too funny!

I feel bad for these dogs, it really isn't their fault. Inbreeding by owners, sellers, abuse and neglect. It all comes down to shitty human behavior.

Adopt, don’t shop!

Yes, this breed should never have existed. Most dogs were bred as either working dogs or companion dogs. These were bred as killin' dogs.

The most humane solution would be to strictly prohibit breeding, selling, or buying them without a special permit. Basically treat them as we do tigers or other exotic, dangerous animals. The ones alive today will all die off in about a dozen years, and then we'd have a blissfully pitty-free world.

I'm relieved that the owner himself died from his own dogs and not some bystander or stranger.

On my block about 2 years ago a woman got this pit bull that was extremely aggressive to passerby's in the neighborhood. I have no idea what breed it was. It would growl and actually try to ponce on me and others whenever we crossed paths. The third time it actually jumped on me a ripped my pants before I managed to get away. I told the woman I am filing a police report, which I did. A few days later the dog attacked an elderly woman across the street and she ended up in the hospital with deep lacerations on her legs from the dog bites and had to have surgery. The dog was taken away and put down. They should have put the woman down too. When I see her now I give her the finger every time.

R6 the people who breed and buy them don’t want a “cool” dog, they want a weapon. The dogs are usually abused.

The assholes who breed and buy them are to be confused with the kind souls who adopt them from shelters and try to rehabilitate them.

[Quote] Dog of peace!

Canine’s only democracy!

Before they are euthanized, can we send them to Maralago

I think some people ‘’carry’’ these dogs like some carry guns. It’s that ‘’mess with me’’ attitude.

r31 Show me on th doll where your mommy and sisters hurt you.

I have a feeling the owner was not a great loss to humanity.

Condos for aggressive breed insistent owners. Keep em all together. No kids, no other breeds, chain link patios covered over top too.

Was Die With a Smile by Lady G and Bruno played at the dog, errrrr I mean owner’s funeral?

Where I live, these dog 'bully" breeds are illegal and banned. It is illegal to import any of these "bully" breeds or breed these dogs and has been for 15 years or so. The dogs still alive before the ban have mostly died out now so we never see these kind of dogs anymore. We also never have dog attacks like this now.

It's like when we had the worst mass shooting massacre in history at the time in 1996 and then we knew we had to immediately do something about the kind of guns citizens could own and fix our gun laws so it could never happen again here.

Neither issue was easy or pleasant to fix, but Australian society demanded they be fixed and both our rigid gun laws and banning of all these dog breeds have been to the betterment and safety of Australians.

r49 Enough of your continent is trying to kill you lot as it is. I guess your government had to draw the line somewhere. :shrug:

A lot of "I can love it out of them" types take on these dogs, then make you the asshole for calling them out. Fuck them.

^ This man. This man and his...lies.

Well, there's also the ones who use them as little weapons, but I don't have those types around me and can only speak to my personal experience. I hope you get the hugs you need, weirdo.

Very true R50! But we manage to live with our indigenous fauna - as scary and lethal as some of it is!

[quote]Neither issue was easy or pleasant to fix, but Australian society demanded they be fixed

What a novel idea!

R49, coming in hot with actual common sense and solutions, which America will be too stupid/too stubborn to ever adopt for any problem of note.

In America you can't take away their freedumbs. We live in a nation of idiots.

The powers that be in government needed to treat the populace with some tough love years ago. It's too late now.

I thought one could always tell what dog was a pit-mix by the eyes. Is that not so? Are there other pit-mix dogs that don't have those distinctive eyes?

You mean the killer-tard eyes, R58?

They're nanny dogs! Great with children!

R59

I didn't know they had a name. But yeah, probably.

Gee what a surprise. I was so sure it was yet another one of those killer Yorkshire terriers...

Despite rumors, I had NOTHING to do with this. I was making Christmas FUDGE with my momma.

r61 The full scientific name is "Beady Little Killer-tard Eyes".

I'd like to have a dog again, and I checked the nearest shelter to maybe adopt one. So many of them have that " Pit bull" look, and the names and descriptions of them are really flowery and over the top. I laughed when I read what R25 said because that's exactly how a lot of them were described. I did feel bad looking at those dog profiles. Most looked so sad and miserable. I'd be scared to death to adopt a breed like that, though.

Sadly, they should all be humanely put to sleep.

That's what I think , too.

"they were all a mix of bully breeds" Is this euphemistic? I'm sure none of these sweet creatures had any pit bull in them.

Some of those who own these dogs are total assholes to everyone, including their pets. And you have to be a stupid asshole, as well, in order to choose not one, but THREE dogs that have been bred specifically for aggression.

No one is banning pit bulls unless they attack, it's impossible of course, just like guns which you can't do and is more important, who decides what is a pit? Who pays for DNA test, you people are just talking out your asses as usual, and plenty of people have pits in the UK, despite being supposedly banned, look at TV, they're EVERYWHERE, HAHAHA they're not going anywhere

^^^Typical rational pibble owner who is 100% sane and owns pit bulls for sheer love of the breed, and not to be a defiant antisocial asshole, or to terrorize neighbors.

If they are going anywhere that isn't under lock and key, they should have a heavy-duty leash and a muzzle.

Nope not going to happen, wishful thinking, they're not going anywhere bitches, so keep up that constant bitching, perhaps if you got out and voted, which the Dems did not, instead of worrying about fucking dogs, typical of you people.

You sure do type unstable, r73, assumptions and all. In the US, this is largely a state and local issue.

My favorite type of pittie owners are fat liberal east coast white women, usually with a few mixed race kids (single mom, the different dads disappeared), who will get psychotic if anyone even suggests these little angel dogs need muzzles in public. They usually live in near squalor and drive old Hyundais. They can’t get enough black dick. Their maternal nature has turned psychotic because they were obsessed with and rejected by -for being homely and chunky (they love junk food) in school- not by all white men but the top tier aspirational ones (think hot QBs and frat boys), these women thought they deserved the pick of the litter, and when they couldn’t get what they wanted they flipped the script and getting their pussies constantly fertilized by mocha loads and owning aggressive monster dogs is how they flip the bird to mainstream white culture. They often have some SA/incest trauma too. They’re insufferable and there is no help for these pigs. The type of women who are always saying things like “I don’t give a fuck!” or “Who gives a shit?” They are playing white savior bitch to any creature they can, they’re always holier-than-thou. Always single because they’ve got a litter of kids and pitties with them.

The other types that own them are insecure men of any race who want to be gangsta and dykes who have more thoughts about virtue signaling than personal safety.

You type like a cuntTwat r74, go fuck yourself with a hot curling iron, leave it in until you can smell meat burning. Filthy scorning straight cunt

Now you're just typing unhinged meltdown. I hope you get the assistance and hugs you need.

We warned you -- NO MORE DRY DOG FOOD. But did you listen? No.

Sadly, there are tons of these mixes in shelters.

People refuse to spay or neuter the damn things, they get out and breed with other mixed breed street mutts (usually some bully mix) and the problem just gets worse.

No, they do not get along with other animals. One of my acquaintances had one. Her boyfriend had one plus two ferrets (they were complete white trash).

He moved in with her. Within six months, the dogs had attacked and killed both ferrets and had turned on each other.

You cannot tell these people anything. Those terrier types were bred to hunt and KILL small rodents (and they consider anything small to be a “rodent”. Including babies, cats, rabbits, ferrets, etc.

They just don’t want to hear it. You can tell these people anything breed type by the beady eyes, block head, thick neck and shoulders.

[quote]They just don’t want to hear it>

Case in point, nutso r76.

Not wanting to get mauled by a pitbull is now an extreme right wing stance to take. Racists!!!

r38, exactly.

There is a simple solution that allows existing owners to keep their dogs while guaranteeing that the "bully breed" dies out in the future. No one loses their little Satan. No dogs are harmed. It respects freedom and all that jazz. People can still get dogs for protection of their family and property. They just can't get one that randomly decides to tear off the neighbor girl's face.

It’s ridiculous to include Boxers, Boston terriers, Bull terriers, Staffordshire terriers in the bully breeds list. These have been reputably bred for years as show and companion dogs. Just pittie people trying to co -opt legit breeds into their circle.

Staffordshire terriers are definitely one of the bully breeds.

Staffordshires we’re just colored bull terriers until pittie got hold of them.

Freedumbs is the best word I have found in months.

Between this and the Abundant Life shooting God is feeling cunty.

[quote]but THREE dogs that have been bred specifically for aggression.

r69 American Bullies are actually bred to be more docile. They are not American Pit Bull Terriers. They're a crossbreed with of APBT, AmStaff, American Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, and English Bulldogs. As a result, they are less aggressive than even Rottweilers. This man just didn't know how to control one dog, let alone three.

Anyway, I'm 100% against breed bans. I'd sooner ban certain groups of people before I'd ever be on board with banning a dog breed. Because if it's all about risk/benefit analysis, humans, as a species, are a far more risky gamble.

^ Just to clarify, in no way am I shitting on Rottweilers. That was to illustrate a point. Love those babies, too.

Damn R75. You really hit the nail on the head. However I would add this extends to any fat white woman who owns a pit bull, region and political party doesn't matter.

I watched an interview with a protection dog trainer. He trains dogs for police departments. He was going through the breeds used by law enforcement. He said the best are German Shepherds because they're agile and calm down quickly. He said Rottweilers are not a good fit for police work because they're too heavy to be picked by the K9 officer and dropped over fences etc., and their bite force is so strong it can actually crush bones. He said Pit bulls can't be used because once they are stimulated they go into a frenzy state and it takes a long time for them to calm down and refrain from biting. Apparently it's the terrier bloodline contribution. Terriers have to be fearless destroyers because they fight and kill some ferocious critters and often have to go into dens etc. I had a rat terrier and that little fucker wasn't afraid of anything. He also wouldn't listen once he was engaged, he was a man on a killing mission.

I'll never own a dog I couldn't handle if it came down to life or death....I have only owned Boston Terrier's and I've only been snapped at once

[quote] Apparently it's the terrier bloodline contribution

r91 Makes sense.

Ever try to stop a Yorkie from barking? I swear they black out in the process and go on autopilot.

^ Ugh. Wrong video.

Recently bought mace spray and was told the stream spray was better than wide spray. I didn’t want to argue with a ‘’professional’’ but I wonder if a wider spray would have better coverage in the chaos of an attack where there isn’t time to focus on the eyes. Has anyone had experience in this?

The pepper spray might end up back on YOU, the people were right, it's like pissing in the wind.

Here's my big bad baby, I dare you to touch his pussy, if the fucking cat is alright with the dog I am too, the cat knows far better than I do, just try to take Kitty, he's very calm and rarely barks, he climbs up to not disturb her.

Don't aim at their eyes, try to shoot it up their nose, their nose is more vulnerable than their eyes per research.

R98 - nobody should have to use a damn GUN to shoot at these lethal killer dogs. Honestly...

None of us SHOULD have to do a lot of things just to survive but we do what works.

That dog is so cute

r101 Isn't he?? You can tell he's spoiled rotten, too.

His eyes say he is longing to break the cat’s neck in one shake and tear you to pieces R97.

A lot of the homeless people in my town have them. Isn’t that nice? So every time someone walks by with, let’s say, a harmless golden retriever, these bullies go insane, snapping and growling.

Those types of dogs are weapons.

r105 Well some of them really suck at understanding the assignment.
