Deadly misunderstood: Activist fights back against pit bull panic in SA

After a string of deadly and misreported pit bull attacks in South Africa — including the fatal mauling of a Mitchells Plain woman and the shooting of a pit bull in Grangetown, a local animal activist is challenging misinformation and ignorance about the breed.

What is this bs spin, they are aggressive and the fact that they snap and kill people is the issue.

"She speaks with urgency about what she calls 'latent aggression', warning signs that are often ignored or misunderstood.

"These dogs have what's called latent aggression; they show you signs that they are unhappy, but people often think it's funny, it's not, because one day, when they have had enough, they will snap, and people think the dog became immediately aggressive, it was never immediately aggressive, it gave you signs that it was unhappy."

My hero.



And just like that, the top comment is once again the f**ing retard "but muh owner" brigade.

Proper education? Lol just ban the breed. She can go find another job.

So you didn't read? It's not a breed, even in the US and UK.
"Pit bull" is not a single, recognized breed, but rather an umbrella term or "type" of dog used to describe several breeds with similar, muscular physical traits and shared ancestry (bulldogs and terriers). It is generally used to describe the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and American Bully.
No Single Breed Status: Major kennel clubs like the American Kennel Club (AKC) do not recognize "Pit Bull" as a specific breed, though the United Kennel Club (UKC) recognizes the American Pit Bull Terrier.

Which ones are killing people?

 

[Sir Peel-a-Lot]

If people the world over just stopped to rationalise this thing with pit bulls having latent aggression, being more aggressive than other dog breeds etc, it's all BS. There is no conclusive scientific evidence/research to show that the dogs which fall under the breed of pit bull are any more aggression-prone than other breeds.

Their status as killer dogs that just snap is unwarranted, any dog that is brought up badly and treated poorly will have behavioural issues and aggression towards humans, just so happens that pit bulls are in fashion at the moment largely in less desirable communities around the world, and it's these communities where proper training and a loving home for the dogs are very much lacking.

Put any other breed of dog in this situation, labradors are another high-energy breed, and you'll have the same issue, and perceived skewed statistics because of constant media reporting.

 

[Lupus]

Which ones are killing people?

Exactly... they aren't a breed of dogs it's a type, like Mastiff (which rottweilers are part of), pinscher (Dobermans).
One of the biggest issue is people identify any squared faced and stocky as Pit bulls. When they could be mixed breeds.

Pit Bull isn't a breed, it's a type of dog. Staffies are part of it, Bull terriers, technically the only dog with pit Bull in it's name is the American Pit Bull which is closer to a staffie in appearance.

All 3 of these are "Pit Bulls" but they are also not. Which one do you think people always say is hurting people.
Taking into account they are also a numerous type

This is the exact type of take that makes many of us want to pull out that wood chipper and solve this problem once and for all.
The f**ing pitbull bingo, pussyfooting and excuse mining around the obvious has reached peak retard while the pile of bodies and maiming continues.

These things are not compatible with acceptable risk in any sane society. I don't want your f**ing bomskok murder brak anywhere near me or my animals, no matter how f**ing sweet or well trained you think it is. Go and pick something else from the list of 100's of breeds to choose from that nobody has an issue with.

It's time to join the growing list of sane nations and give normal non-retarded civilians proper pre-emptive legal recourse to end this s**t.

Ya ne the journos should start reporting on the other dog breeds that turn and kill their owners too hey.

Whoa, laying down the law, that'll teach him

"The breeder, Amod Sheik, was subsequently convicted of animal cruelty.
He's been sentenced to a fine of R3,000 or three months’ imprisonment, wholly suspended for five years."

Congratulations retard.

Thing is that anyone with a brain does know what these stupid aggressive dogs are, and can reliably identify them. Only deliberate ignorance is preventing you from doing it.




You can play the game as well

Oh riiiiight resorting to name calling cause you have no real argument over it, sure understandable, we all go that way when we can't make a real argument or debate properly. Though name calling is generally the lowest form of debate, do better.

Firstly most of the time the dogs are misidentified, out of these 3 please tell me which one is a pit bull?

What the fxck kinda statment is this?

Anyone with half a brain cell can reliably identify irresponsible, lazy owners that keep pit bulls as fashion statements, give their dogs no love or training, and then wonder why the dogs become aggressive.

You do know aggression is something that can be bred for in animals. It is why there is a category of animals called domesticated.

The host of an NPR talk show has a hilarious, but sad article on how his wife's stupid aggressive dog ended up running his life. Not poor, not uneducated, yet the dog was still a menace.

He has to wear a muzzle whenever he goes anywhere outside Ira's apartment, including the office. Ira and his wife never have friends over, because Piney would go after them. Piney is fearful and anxiety prone. And he has to take Valium to keep from being even more aggressive.

Ira Glass​

It's almost like somebody who's fearful who is also a pit bull. If you imagine--

Nancy Updike​

It's exactly that.

Ira Glass​

It is exactly that, yeah.

Nancy Updike​

It's not even like it. That is what is it.

Ira Glass​

That is what it is. He was a normal dog until a wedding that Anaheed took him to. Anaheed drove up ahead of me, and the dog was there with her and was a puppy. And all these people were hanging around.

And there was a moment where he bit the host's daughter, Hope, who was 9 or 10 at the time. He just got up off the floor, saw her come into the room, walked over, and bit her. And then he bit a friend of ours, Vicky, her son.

Nancy Updike​

At the wedding, he bit two children?

Ira Glass​

He bit two children.

Nancy Updike​

Oh my god.

Ira Glass​

So we took him home. And that's what put us on notice of, oh, right.

Piney had already been trained at that point to obey commands, to sit, to pee outside. But he hadn't gotten training especially for aggressive dogs, because they hadn't known he was aggressive. So that's what came next. Mixed results.

Ira Glass​

One, two, three, four, five.

Nancy Updike​

What are you counting?

Ira Glass​

One, two, three, four, five, six--

Nancy Updike​

You're counting people the dog has bitten. I can see where you're counting on your list.

Ira Glass​

Yeah, it's six plus Anaheed.

Nancy Updike​

He's bitten Anaheed?

Ira Glass​

A couple times. It might be more than twice, actually.

Nancy Updike​

More than twice.

Ira Glass​

Yeah, a bunch of times. He nips each time. Each time it's a nip, but it does draw blood.

Nancy Updike​

I don't know if you're allowed to call it a nip if it draws blood.

Ira Glass​

No, nip includes drawing blood.

Nancy Updike​

No, bite includes drawing blood. Nip is not breaking the skin.

Ira Glass​

What if we call it a bloody nip?

Nancy Updike​

Then we'd have to be in England. We would have to be in a London pub.

Ira Glass​

He gave her a bloody nip.

Exactly. So if I just have something that he can tug on with if he's acting aggressively, he'll just take it out on the tugging. When I look in his eyes, in those moments, his eyes are not the "I want to kill you" sort of eyes of a creature that's trying to hurt you. His eyes are in the kind of "I can't control myself, please, I feel trapped inside this situation."

It's funny. I've never thought about how it sounds to you guys, that it sounds like, oh. It sounds dangerous, is what you're saying.

Nancy Updike​

Yeah. You can't have people come to your apartment. No one, no friend, nobody you work with, no one has ever seen the inside of your apartment, right?

Ira Glass​

Correct. Yeah, because he would attack anybody who came in. And then we tried to train it out of him. We had trainers come over to the apartment to do exercises to train that out of him. But those were not successful.

Nancy Updike​

And how big a deal is that?
