i actually think it's funny how everyone gets so riled up about who posts what in which thread. this is the internet! nobody was debating at her son's funeral for crying out loud.

You are making a huge assumption that this was a life and death/dire situation. What she said was he was in the ER and the puppy was at a vet in surgery.

Then in that case I apologize. I was under the impression that it was a life threatening situation based on the OP's message. If it was not, then no problem.

Yes, we did lose a child, and I guarantee you, if any parent gets a call that your child was hurt, the last thing they will do it get on the PC. That's really all I will say. Everyone has opinions. You are certainly entitled to yours.

how is it being rude to mention the fact that i don't trust (not only pits) but ANY dog that's not on a leash around children. any talk about pit bulls was regarding the fact they are known to be unpredictable. in my case, i mentioned i don't want ANY dog (regardless of size) running around uncontained.

it would be unacceptable to be talking about what wonderful dogs pit bulls were if you were attending a funeral where someone's child was killed by a pit bull - yes.

that isn't the case! it would have even been unacceptable online if someone had been defending pits or dogs without leashes - that didn't happen.

and, yes, i do think it's funny that people get so upset about people going "off topic" in a thread - not even a thread about a sensitive subject, but any thread.

furthermore, yes, you can say whatever you wish when addressing me (and you have). the difference is, i don't let people's opinions get to me because i stand by my own beliefs regardless of what someone says.

I would think RUDE would be, "oh, that sweet pit bull, wonder what happend to the dog?!?!"
No one did that people (biana jencar), everyone offered support and prayers for her son, so get over yourselves. Geesh!

RUDE, is not saying that the Pit Bull that just put a child in the hospital is dangerous & non trusting!! DUH

Lack of Compassion? This still ticks me off! How many of you spend ALL of your holidays helping the homeless and NEVER ONCE in your entire life spent a holiday NOT working!!!! As a Child I NEVER had Christmas by a tree. Instead, I was out in the cold learning about helping people. Today I got up at 4 am to minister and feed over 400 homeless in Dallas. We havent had a vacation in over 4 years because we have taken in 4 different people and given them a home. (VERY EXPENSIVE) So, for someone to READ something and make an assumption that I lack compassion is sickening. I dont need a pat on the back, but I certainly dont appreciate people making judgements when they know nothing about me. People are hypocrites and they judge on assumption. I cant stand people like that.

FAKE!

I never suggested you lacked compassion, nor made any judgments about you. My point was a debate about pit bulls was not really proper on a prayer thread. And, with each comment made, it was evident a debate was about to take place.

Again, you made the assumption we were going to debate. I simply said, I cant stand the dogs and you cant trust em. Nothing wrong with that. Next thing I know, people are quoting me, thumbs down and saying I lack compassion.

I have stayed out of the YT drama, but this clearly ticked me off because the comments were unneccesary. I said my peace here.

I don't know who you are aiming this thread too but I do feel it's important to get some things out there for guests and other members who come and read this thread. Knowledge is key, and it's always good to learn new things.

There are dog statistics done every year by the ATT (American Temperament Test Society). Anything above 80% is good. APBT got 84.3% last year. Collies got 53.3%, Chihuahua 70.3%, and the list goes on. Now I'm not stupid enough to realize that these dogs can certainly not do as much damage as a Pit or any other strong breed. Clearly they are strong dogs with a lot of power. Who made them that way? Humans!!! Humans created this breed, and now humans want to destroy them.

I also want to point out that a "Pit Bull" is actually not a breed. There are many different kinds of them, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire, etc. So it's not really fair when people name "Pit Bull" as #1 most aggressive breed. It doesn't make for fair statisics. Besides the fact that thousands of people are bitten by small dogs but I'm sure it goes unreported. The most important thing to know is that when they were bred in Europe, before coming to the US they were bred to fight. When a dog was born with a human aggression gene it was killed. They bred the dog to have animal aggression not human aggression. They make the best pets for young children and families. This is fact.

These dogs do NOT have a a knack for turning on their owners for NO reason. There are owners who get attacked for failing to properly train their puppies from day one. There are warning signs that most dogs give, and pits are no different.


Totally agree with this for ANY dog!

Also, did you Goldens have moved far up on the bite list? I think they're #3. Bad breeding, inbreeding and other humans have screwed up that breed for us as well. Friendly family dog is now one of the top biters. Way to go humans!

For every fact toward a breed you can find one that is different. Just like some Yorkies act like vicious little attack dogs, and others are so loving and cuddly. Yorkies are known for being yappy annoying little dogs, yes some live up to the name, but others do not. So who is right and who is wrong?

there was nothing wrong with what you (or I) said. once again, people who have no dog in the race (all pun intended) want to stir the pot. don't worry, it's a hobby for some.

unless the OP comes out and complains - what's the problem? even if that had happened, i don't know that i would feel it was insensitive, but it would make a difference. that didn't happen.

I'm not even believing this:eek:. The OP may have been a little busy these past couple of days attending to her son...remember the son she had requested prayer for?

So, as long as you don't feel something is insensitive, then it's okay?:rolleyes: Perhaps you should check into to "sensitivity training".

I honestly think any normal person would not be a fan of a pit when it hurt someone. Just give it up! You continually pointing fingers is not helping. It is over with.

Who said I was a fan of pits? Not once in these threads have I voiced my opinion of the breed - which, if you care to know is that, I'm NOT a fan of the breed at all! My only point/opinion was and remains - A persons prayer request thread is not the place for a debate on the breed.
