Are you serious? did you really shot that poor dobbie? I know it was your backyard but you should of have shot the owners not the dog. Irresponsible owners are the ones who give dobermans and pitbulls their bad name : (

You basically murdered a dog? And you're happy about it? Sick ****.

No, the fact that pits kill so many children, elderly people, and others who can't defend themselves against an attack gives them their bad reputation of the cowardly, aggressive animals they are. Sure, you can train it out of them, but even that isn't 100%. I've been attacked by a pitbull that was "the sweetest dog in the world" and "would never hurt anyone." They shouldn't be legal to own.

Most of the time it's the owners fault for not giving their dogs proper training but I guess you are right in the fact that that's not 100% effective. And I'm sorry about your bad experience with pits :(

"Are you serious fudrick?" Completely. "ALL dogs are like that." Indeed, but not ALL dogs are 80 pounds of pure muscle. "It is actually safer to have a pitbull around small children then it is to have a dalmation around them." No shit. I never said Dalmations are safe. I simply commented on pits because that is the breed the other commenter was talking about with a bad reputation. Pit defenders always try to bring in other breeds "OH YEAH WELL THIS BREED ATTACKS MORE PEOPLE SO PITS ARE GUD." No. "ALL dogs have a chance of attacking in a split second, not just pitbulls." But pitbulls are substantially more dangerous than almost every other breed of dog. "If you think pitbulls should be illegal, then all dogs should be in your way of thinking." No, because most dogs don't have the strength to overpower someone and kill them if they wanted to. That's like saying firecrackers are just as dangerous as dynamite because they both explode. There are different levels to everything. "Any type of dog could suddenly snap and kill someone, NOT just pitbulls." You're repeating yourself, but I never once said that its "just pitbulls" who do this. "Like I said, dalmations are actually more unsafe and unpredictable then pitbulls, so dalmations should be illegal then :/" Indeed they should. Or at least have laws to where a dangerous dog such as a Doberman, pit, dalmation, etc must be kept inside. Which isn't good for dogs, so might as well ban them.

Good job, OP. What'd you hit it with, if you don't mind me asking? I got the one that bit me across the yard with a shotgun. Saw at least 5 hits on it, then it ran away (which was the point). Where I'm at, the roaming dogs are generally the aggressive sort who attack children and stuff maliciously. Hope it was the same for you and that you didn't have to shoot a neighbour's pet. Don't let anyone on here give you shit for shooting it. Most of them seem to forget that not all dogs growl before attacking or they think they will only attack when provoked.

lol, Silly rednecks. "Only thing I like more'n guns 'n' dogs is shootin' dogs! Yeeeehaw!"

If you're very much against shooting dogs, we can simply take vicious dogs that attack people and bring them to your house. Sounds t'me like a win-win situation.

Sure, I'll stay inside and call Animal Control like a civilized person would. Relax with my feet up while they take care of it.

Dogs are only as mean as you raise them to be, you ******* tard. I have a dog that I saved cause it was being neglected and he couldn't be sweeter because it know I'm helping him. Dogs are easily scared

#79 Genetics plays a huge part. It is NOT just training.

Is it just me, or is the word "awkwardly" really awkward to spell?
