Comments on Pit Bulls Should be Boiled Alive Like Lobsters and Fed to Their Idiot Owners

Just this one time, can we make an exception and boil the idiot owner alive too?

You know what would be cool. Dan posting a rant about a parody of the The Last Supper, with pit bulls instead of apostles.

That qualifies as a *rant*? You have a low rant threshold, Mike.

I think in this case it would be more appropriate to boil the owner alive and feed her to the pit bull.

Mike is obviously new around here.

You are right Dan. I should have said hobby-horse.

How about, "That Pit Bull Should Be Boiled Alive and Fed to its Idiot Owner"

or even better and more apropos, "That Idiot Should Be Boiled Alive and Fed to Her Pit Bull"

@Carollani: How about, "That Idiot Pit Bull Owner Should be Boiled Alive and Fed to her Pit Bull."

Well on the bright side, that dog will eventually maul her to deather after raping her baby so everything works out in the end.

I hope that kid plans on suing her.

Your elitist breedism shows that you are out of touch with the dog community.

How about if we boil the owner alive, feed it to her pit bull, then boil the pit bull alive and eat it ourselves? That seems like it would cover all of the bases.

The dog should definitely be boiled alive and fed to the owner. Forcefully.

The owner, after being sued for damages and trauma, should be stripped of her children (if she has any), and not allowed to breed, own pets of any kind, or drive a motor vehicle, since she is obviously too irresponsible to care for any living creature.

breedism

lol

Obviously the dog should be put down in this case, and the owner prosecuted in criminal court (and held civilly liable as well).

Remember, though: dogs don't have morality and they don't have conciences (they don't even have guilt), whether good dogs or bad dogs. The reason why this dog attacked this person and now has to be put down is squarely the fault of the owner.

Even the gentlest Labrador retriever can be trained, or neglected, to become a weaponized pet. And millions of pit bulls are gentle, well-socialized house pets with children and other dogs.

Really, owners of attacking pit bulls should be boiled and fed to their dogs, not the other way around. To situate blame on the dog is like blaming the salad that gave you life-threatening E. coli instead of blaming the spinach grower.

What scared me about the article in the PI today is that the number of registered Pit Bulls in Seattle has tripled yes fucking TRIPLED since January of this year!! And I have come close to being attacked by a pit bull on two separate occasions during my morning runs. One both occasions the animal was with the owner (on a leash thank god) and the owner was "shocked" that the fucking beast acted like that.....

Only moronic Bush supporters would own a Pit Bull.

Only slightly apropos, but still interesting, is this blurb in my paper today: "Moscow's residents are more likely to be attacked by a dog than by a mugger, according to the mayor's office. $64 million will be spent to build shelters to castrate the dogs. 'We can't go around and exterminate the dogs - all the animal rights activists are dead set against that.'"
No mention of how many of them are pit bulls.

carry mace...tasers are fun but pricy...so stick to mace

@18, mace for the dog or the owner or both? Please advise...

If you're being attacked by a dog, when the dog opens its mouth to get another bite out of you, ram your hand down the dog's throat. You will choke the dog and then you can shake the now-dead dog off your now-bloody arm. Ramming your hand down their throat serves to cut off their trachea, a dog attacking uses a lot of oxygen so they'll be depleted and suffocate fairly quickly.

I was walking my dog last night and this off-leash pit-bull comes grunting down the street. I had to swoop my puppy in to my arms (a 40 pound, 5 month old german shep.) and then nearly crap my pants as this thing circled us sniffing my dog... At which point I looked down at it and said "go home." The dog grunted and trotted off and I realized it's not pit-bulls but the idiot fucking owners who think their a cool dog because of their violent history and can't manage owning and treating the dog right.

The real sad fact is bad dog owners are more likely to get a pit-bull.

15's got it. Not all pit bulls are bad.
Pretty much every time I go to the dog park, there is at least one, frolicking and bouncing happily, getting along with other dogs, and not even remotely interested in biting anyone. Yesterday, there were two varying shades of some sort of pit bull, both playing beautifully. There were two young girls there with their mom, as well as many adults and small dogs (including my own) and all the dogs were very sweet and non-threatening (including several larger dogs, and other breeds that are often seen as threatening).
It is all about the bad owners.

I used to live on the corner of a street where kids walked to school, and one morning opened the front door and one of my dogs ran out. He's a black and white Sheltie with very little white on his face, about as friendly a dog as has ever existed (this dog ADORES people). Anyway, as soon as a woman and her kid saw him come out, they began to RUN (he wasn't focused on them or on anything but peeing on a bush) and he started to chase them--because that's what herding dogs DO. Luckily he has a good recall--I yelled his name, and he turned back to me. But I worried for a couple of days that I might be accused of having a dangerous dog, which he most emphatically is NOT.

Moral of the story--if you are walking down the street, and a dog runs out after you, don't RUN. That kicks the dog into prey drive. About all a Sheltie would do is chase you, but another breed might do more, and you can't outrun a dog--even a little dog, if he wants to catch you, probably can. (well, maybe not a Pekingese...)

Dan, you just don't get it. We have the same anger when owners raise bad dogs when it comes to pit bulls, and every other breed. But we don't FOCUS on ONLY pitbulls like you do, im angry when any breed gets raised poorly and turned into a monster. Pit Bulls raised in good homes are the sweetest family dogs imaginable. You can make any breed into a terror, but pit bulls evoke more fear because of the way they are portrayed nowadays...wasn't always like that.

@23: how do you not at least partially blame yourself? many people are very afraid of dogs for many different reasons, don't you think that as a responsible dog owner, you should put up a fence or shut your front door so your dog doesn't run out and chase your neighbors? to you your dog is a saint (as i'm sure the pitbulls are to their guardians), but those poor people didn't know.

@25: Dude, my dog is no saint. He does agility, and has no reliable start-line stay. He likes to bark in the car. He gets jealous when one of the other dogs gets my attention. I just know that he wouldn't have started running if the mom and kid hadn't started running. My only point was what experts tell people all the time--if you run, a dog will chase you. DON'T RUN and the dog probably won't be particularly interested in you. I was using this as an illustration.

(if, instead of running, the mom and kid had stopped and smiled at my dog, he would have been all over wiggles and greetings. Like I said, he loves people. But I know all people don't love my dog, so I keep him away from anyone who doesn't want to meet him. That he ran outside that particular day was accidental.)

Luckily, my dog is well-trained (except for that damn start-line stay) and responded quickly to my call.

@Keshmeshi: Not true. The majority of population is not in the rural areas, and if you restructed the government, which we would have to do W7ngman, it would weight higher to higher population.

I don't think this will happen anytime soon mind you, but it is DESPERATELY needed. What we have now are little areas being controlled seperately, which is like having little kingdoms everywhere. That didn't work for Europe and it won't continue to work here. Of course we are a much younger country so I understand why we did it ;).

I was responding to a different post...weird. Some sort of rip in the Slog space time continum.

Bad owners=bad dogs.

An apology in that situation would be roughly equivalent to saying, "I would enjoy being destitute. Please, take all of my worldly possessions."

Rules of civility have been replaced by rules of evidentiary admissibility.

Um... aren't most humans significantly larger than pit bulls? If you are wearing real shoes, and have some sort of normal coordination, you can kick the shit out of a dog's face or ribs. (More reason not to wear Birks on your morning walk.)

How the hell did we get to the top of the food chain if we let some animal 1/10th our size attack & terrorize us? Part of being at the top is having the discretion to maul anything beneath you. Use that power wisely, but use it when you have to.

The woman “did not apologize for the dog’s actions,” the officer wrote is the report.

There's your problem. Not the dogs, but the owners. People looking for vicious dogs get pit bulls because that is the association made. (Of course, they also tend to be very strong, very fit dogs, suitable for viciousness in a way that, say, a beagle just isn't.) The cycle perpetuates itself.

Are we sure the dog was a pit bull?
After dan's LAST post he is very quick to judge what IS and ISN'T pit bull.
Is this a pure a bred bull?
Could this just be some boxer mix that looks enough like a pit bull to be called a pit bull.

I've seen enough of these pit bull shit stories for them to loose their credibility of a pit bull attacking human. I read, "another dog with squatt features and short muzzle attacked human."

People terrified, it at least looks enough like pit bull to make sensationalism.

Dan gets another rant, while he sounds like an elitist dog breeding nazi. Even though I know he isn't, he still sounds moronic.

The END

People who CHAIN THEIR DOGS should be boiled alive and fed to those dogs.

Aside from contributing to a SHITTY, SHITTY life for the dog, chaining makes dogs aggressive and hostile. A dog that is normally chained might even, oh I dunno, run out of your house and maul a teenager.

The dog usually being chained is the problem. If a bitch chained me up for hours on ends I'd kill a bitch too.

Why the dog didnt attack it's owner is beyond me. I wonder sometimes if the people getting attacked might be skateboarding or something?

Swedish Medical Center... I didn't know Swedes were renouned for their doctors.

@31 -- "... you can kick the shit out of a dog's face or ribs ... How the hell did we get to the top of the food chain if we let some animal 1/10th our size attack & terrorize us?"

It appears that most people getting mauled by a pit bull have not been able to deter the attack successfully in the manner you describe. (Have you ever tried it? With a real pit bull who was trying to kill you? I didn't think so.) Yeah, pit bulls are smaller and lighter than humans (not ten times smaller unless you weigh three or four hundred pounds) but they are extremely strong, highly skilled, aggressive, agile, impervious to pain, and willing to fight to the death. If you powerful and fast enough crush the animal's skull or damage its heart with a kick, then your strategy might work, but you can't expect most people to be able to do that.

And, since you ask,we got "to the top of the food chain" not by kicking the other dangerous predators in the face and ribs but by controlling them in intelligent ways that limited their ability to harm us. Like boiling them and feeding them to their idiot owners.

that particular dog does indeed have to be put down. it would be nice if the owner were put down with it, as she's clearly incapable of being rehabilitated... but i don't think there's a law that covers that.

it's equal opportunity reporting, tho. if irresponsible fags who infect unaware partners of HIV infection should, as dan often says, be strung up by their nuts, well - this is the canine/owner equivalent. HANG THEM ALL. it's much simpler to invoke the death penalty than try to change people. right, dan??

*sideways glance*

no, seriously. bad policies don't ever die; people do. the only change in humankind occurs with the death of the previous generation. the longer we live, the longer it takes to change bad policy. sadly.
