Tell that to the parents of kids killed by dogs who "out of the blue" freaked out.
Did you intentionally harbor an animal that killed/attacked someone? I'd tend to look at it that way. You're an accessory.

It's funny how many ignorant people there are in this thread. Pit Bulls are no less likely to attack than any other breed of Terrier, which are, admittedly, a more aggressive breed of dog. But it ultimately does come down to the owner, both raising him right and not allowing for stupid things to happen. I wouldn't allow any breed of dog around children unsupervised, pit or not, and any parent who allows their child around a dog unsupervised is every bit as criminally/civilly negligent as the owner of the dog if something happens.
It seems like all the dogs that lend themselves to violent attacks have one thing in common, being bred for their aggression. I just don't see how you can say it's not the breed when they have been selectively breed for their aggression. Pitbulls especially since they are the go to fighting dog in America.

Where did that come from? Tuco asked bout criminal responsibility of the owner. Nothing was asked about the dog, nor did I mention anything about the dog. Read better.

Pit bulls were bred as fighting dogs, and to specifically NOT telegraph that they were about to go ballistic, or that they were scared, etc. I mean, it is in their evolution. If you're going to own one, you better be near a dog-whisperer, not some white-trash asshole in a trailer. It's not the dogs fault they are how they are, but I can certainly blame an owner who treats a pit bull exactly the same as they would a beagle or collie, which was bred for a completely different purpose.
These people who don't know the difference are basically swinging a real sharp sword around thinking it's nerf-bat.

You realise that there were at least 4,712 fatal lickings in the US alone last year, right?....

Reminds me of our second dog growing up...pure bred dachshund who I am 99% sure was medically retarded. He died from chewing through the container we kept his food in and eating until he was beyond the point of no return.. Fat fuck did it on a Sunday night too, so we got to pay extra for the vet to put him out of his misery.

Someone mentioned it earlier but I don't understand people who have dogs in very confined places. I lived for 3 months in an apartment at the start of the year after moving to a new city and the business paid for it. Having never lived in an apartment I was really suprised that approximately 75% of people in them had a very large dog and they took them out for about 5 minutes at most each day to walk in the dog park at the complex. Even odder was was manaer saying she owned 4 dogs that were on the banned list (all pit bulls) because she didn't make enough to live in the apartments and thus needed protection...ok then. She said that's why so many people in the apartments had them. Well most people were like me doing short term 3-6 month leases after a transfer until they found a house. They had a $100k per year requirement to even live there, gated and had a real life attendant at the gate 24/7 so delivery drivers had to stop and he would call you and ask if they should be let in. Not really what I would call a low crime area. I worked 3 minutes away and my boss told me of a house between the two for rent. Yeah I really wanted to pay $16k/month in rent.
Poor dogs. Didn't udnerstand it.

Most the apartments around here have size and breed restrictions. My HOA also has them and here in the Phoenix area pretty much every nice subdivision built in the last 30 years has a HOA. What I don't get is most homeowners insurances won't cover you if you have certain breeds. Since you need insurance if you have a mortgage do all these people with pitbulls live in the ghetto and rent?

True. I guess these aren't the most responsible people in the world to begin with. Seems like a dumb way to lose everything.
