Are pit bulls safe to have as a domestic dog?

If you go and look at people who are mauled by dogs but not killed it's really scary. Once they get a hold of you those jaws are not letting go. They're really good at holding on to something once they get it in their mouth. That's what they excel at, that's what they were bred to do. And maybe other dogs bite more people, but when one of these dogs bites you it's the real thing. It's the Great White Shark of dogs...

Sorry....

Why doesn't this surprise me?

Lions and tigers can be good pets too, if properly trained. Pit bulls have been selectively bred for at least 500 years to fight bears and bulls and other dogs. The meanest ones with the killer instinct were the best and fathered lots and lots of dogs just like themselves.

Then in the 1800's people started thinking that watching animals kill each other wasn't a nice thing to do so they started outlawing the practice. Suddenly here were all these killer dogs that couldn't do what they were meant to do and they became pets. Every once in a while one of these dogs reverts back to it's natural state of being and kills someone or something and everyone blames it on the owner... right.

All you have to do is look at animal death statistics and it will paint a pretty clear picture of the problem with pit bulls.

United States dog bite statistics...
In 2013 32 people were killed by dogs. 25 of them involved pit bulls.
In 2014 42 people were killed by dogs. 27 of them involved pit bulls.
In 2015 34 people were killed by dogs. 28 of them involved pit bulls.
In 2016 31 people were killed by dogs. 22 of them involved pit bulls.

Every year pit bulls are responsible for about 80% of the deaths by dog bite and they are only about 6% of the population. Sure it's a long shot that your pit bull is going to kill little Timmy, but do you really want to take the chance?

Why can I edit posts? That sounds like a dangerous proposition even to me... the whole "trusted" part is where things start to break down. And what's the "short bus"? That one that picked up handicapped kids? HAAA I've never heard that but I think I need to start using it. I wonder if I ask my wife if she rode the short bus what would happen? What if she did? The plot thickens.

Cannibalism.

Tennessee is a Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) free state as of now according to the TWRA. And I can see how animals could evolve very quickly to something that killed them. I mean if something wipes out 90% of the population and all you have left is people that are immune to the disease and their children are born immune to the disease it would only take one generation.

If I was hungry enough I'm sure I'd eat a person. I kill things and cut them up and eat them a lot anyway... fish, deer, quail and pheasant. My shoes have blood on them right now from the last deer I field dressed, that thing weighed more than my wife.

Your favorite horror movies?

I'm not really into horror films but I did watch Nightmare on Elm Street again at Halloween with a friend. Like Snicker's it never fails to satisfy... one two Freddie's coming for you. Those Saw movies are good too.

Should I write my professor?

I was thinking exactly what Sherlock just said. Being of good character doesn't pay the bills. I know it's great to be able to look in the mirror and love what you see, but everyone kind of has to do what is necessary to succeed. Blow your horn!

Thank You.

Dysfictional... I like that new word. We're all kind of fictional characters on here anyway so why not be dysfictional? I got a good laugh out of that hope you don't mind Vampy.
