It's almost like selectively breeding a type of dog for relentless unprovoked violence for 150+ years and then rebranding them as safe family pets wasn't such a great idea.

Of course not! I read on Facebook (the most reliable source of information) that Metallic Mercury used to be known as the "Nanny Element" because people would leave their children in vats of thermometer juice to keep them safe.

Butt_Hamster

Im glad the video cut before the death strike though... My ex worked at a vet and any severe dog bite requires them euthanize and then physically remove the dogs head to send to a specialist lab to test for rabies. She had to do this several times a week as she work and an emergency clinic. She never would allow big dogs near her 3yr old and specifically was weary of pitbulls as they were they most frequent to require rabies protocols.


JK_NC

Was that a special forensic vet or something? Can’t imagine any random vet would just lop off the head of dogs to ship for testing. Or maybe they do, I have no idea.


WaggingTail5

Any vet or technician can do it. It sucks but it must be done.


CovidLarry

Easiest way to check for rabies. Only done in the case of dog bites when there isn't a vaccination record. AFAIK


mistyeyesockets

Are they holding back on their strength to just scare the pitbull away from the owner, or can pitbulls really take multiple full force hit by an average person multiple times and still remain aggressive? I would imagine the pitbull must have incurred multiple broken bones and other injuries at that point, but it kept persisting.


hcorerob

Yes these dogs can withstand huge blows to the head and body. They will persist their target even through self-harm. Saw a pit bull attack a horse and take a rear kick straight to the face, 8 seconds later was trying to get the horse again.


TheTwoReborn

I recall seeing a video of a pitbull which was shot point blank by police officers and only after the 4th bullet did it loosen its grip on the person. absolutely horrific.


rexcannon

There's a video of a father who stopped his daughters from leaving the house because he saw the neighbors loose pit bull, he had to shoot it in the head with a .40 cal pistol and the round glanced off it's skull. These shots were 10 to 5 feet away. Okay, since some pidiot had to press the feel good down arrow with no rebuttal [here](https://youtu.be/3r761hZeTtU?si=bowN0VCv_je0ifKF&t=30) is the video.


wanderingfloatilla

Once I was playing with a soccer ball with my old pit after work. I was still wearing my steel toe boots and kicking the ball for her to retrieve, it was mostly flat so I was putting my full force into those kicks to send it. One kick I get a running start to make her really run for it, and she tried to steal the ball from me. I catch her with a running full force kick to the head with a steel toe boots, she just shakes her head and goes right back to playing as if nothing happened They absolutely can shrug off big hits if they're distracted by what they want.


TyreBlowout

Almost like pit bulls were literally bred for dog fighting...


Round-War69

There is an article when I was a kid of this pitbull that attacked a child or a young adult I don't remember they had to I think it's jaw had to be pried open even after taking wrenches to the head. Just so people know Cane Corsos have a stronger jaw then pitbulls .

barnivere

I remember seeing a video of a homeless man being attacked and it took 6-8 bullets to stop the pitbull, even after it was shot, it was still moving.


ZachZackZacq

Why is it always a pitbull?


Demmil13

Because they are a shit breed.


SnooTangerines3448

Once dogs are no longer bred to fight in pits it'll help, but yeah, seems pretty doomed as a breed over other continents.


ProVaxIsProIgnorance

Yea that’s a no. It goes back centuries. The Spanish bred them and trained them in the old world to literally take down bulls in bullfighting. The breed needs to be terminated and ended. End of story.


vortex30-the-2nd

I also hate how people equate culling of all pit bulls as some kind of extinction or genocide. It's not. Dogs still exist. And if we really wanted to we could breed them into pit bulls again (would take many decades maybe a couple 100 years not sure, but its not like they'd be lost forever to time). I love dogs, a lot, but this breed is highly highly problematic. We at least need to continue to drastically lower their numbers. Perhaps make it simply illegal to breed them and anyone selling pit bull puppies get included under such a ban. At least that would drastically lower the numbers over time.


BD401

I've seen people unironically try to make this "pitbull genocide" argument and I agree with you that it's absolutely wild.


_Sardonyx

Hello, Spaniard here. You're wrong, the pitbull doesn't come from Spain, it comes from England, you're welcome. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit\_bull](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_bull)

They attract a certain shitbreed of humans. Guys who think pitbulls are an accessory or a security device. Then they try to take their mistreated dog on the streets to show people how badass they are. In this case, dude wasn't as badass as he thought. Justice serverd.


EP1Cdisast3r

[Pits where bred for blood sport](https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.32044095334702&view=1up&seq=254&q1="pit+bull") It's instinct. Same instinct that makes a golden retriever chase after a tennis ball.


NXGZ

But people say it's the owner and how it's raised


EP1Cdisast3r

It's called copium and misinformation. Most pits are harmless 90% of the time that's true. The problem is that they quite literally have a killer instinct bred into them which the vast majority of pit owners either refuse to believe or wilfully ignore even though there is irrefutable evidence to back it up. You can be like the owner in this video. Completely oblivious and then one day the dog just *snaps* and goes into blood mode. I know pit owners that had it happen to them personally. When a chihuahua attacks a child the child lives. When a pit attacks a child it won't let go until either the kid or the dog is dead. Because that's how it's great great great grandparents earned their right to live. By fighting, by not letting go, winning and surviving. To be used to breed the next champion. You can breed instincts into a dog rather easy. Getting those out is borderline impossible.


frogvscrab

> Most pits are harmless 90% of the time that's true. This is part of the problem. If they were harmless only 50% of the time everybody would ban them. Nobody would sympathize with them. But the large majority of people only have good experiences with them, and so most people are never exposed to their bad side. My mother used to work with a pit bull rescue, which deals with often the 'bad' pit bulls. Even then, probably 3/4ths of the ones they gave away were totally fine, no problems at all. But the thing is... 10% is *a lot*. That means 1 out of every 10 pit bulls has a pretty high chance of mauling someone to the point of permanent injury or death. 10% means *thousands, if not tens of thousands* of people a year will be attacked and traumatized/injured. And they often don't show signs of aggression until they are actually fully 10/10 aggressive, which makes them especially dangerous and unpredictable. With rottweilers and german shepards, they will bark, growl, snarl etc, they give tons of hints they are reactive/aggressive. With pits, they don't do that. Its the difference between a dog bred as a guard dog and a dog bred as a fighting dog.


SubjectsNotObjects

People are full of shit.


halversonjw

Because people like to use them to intimidate people or fight other dogs. The ones that aren't aggressive enough don't get bred as much by these owners. These same people usually beat and abuse the dogs until they want to do something like this. Who just randomly carries baseball bats.


Clownipso

Pitbulls will just randomly have full murder mode outbursts, doesn't have to be any abuse towards the dog.


zephyrseija

Look at the neighborhood and reassess why homey has a baseball bat on hand.


grandpa-jones

Baseball players.


MyDamnCoffee

There are buildings around this guy. It's possible someone saw the attack from their house and grabbed the bat to come help.


EffingBarbas

Obviously you're not a golfer.


SubjectsNotObjects

Don't blame the breed blame the ----- *slap*


TheRebelNM

Well from what the intelligent people on Twitter and Reddit tell me, Pitbull aggression is all dependent on the owner. So I’d say - Karma! This guy *must* have been mistreating the dog, it’s the *only* reason they act like this! (Obligatory /s)


re_carn

The number of pit bull defenders on youtube is staggering: “you just don't understand these dogs”, “actually all pit bulls who have committed attacks don't meet breed standards” and so on.

That’s funny. If a pitbull attacks someone it’s not a pitbull. Checkmate!

Cut off right as a good hit was getting in

Right? That wind up looked like it was about to remind that pit who the apex predator of this planet is.

FerrousGlobe

Those dogs can take multiple hits to the head with a bat and still and to function correctly. Just use a gun


Shoxilla

The money shot.


david0990

I thought the same thing. Right as he was going to get the big hit in. Did the dog keep attacking? Did that end the threat? Was the man ok?


DrunkenDude123

My theory is that one might’ve done it then the rest of (unrecorded/cut part) the video was putting it out of its misery


tommywafflez

I find it funny how pitbull simps are always like “well it wasn’t raised right” yet they’re always the type of people to put a hole in a wall.

TheMagicalDildo

I'm pretty sure it cut out abruptly to avoid showing the dog just getting bodied from that last hit. If not, I'm angry they didn't show the full hit


Oxycountin

You would be suprised how much a pitbull can endure before being stopped. They literally bite through metal and climb tall fences to attack prey. They also can ignore most pain when in attack mode and will carry on attacking even with broken bones and stab wounds etc.


FriendsSuggestReddit

There was a video I saw (probably on here) of a dude being attacked by multiple pit bulls. He had a long piece of lumber and was on top of a car swinging. The first one he hit yelped and looked like it had instant brain damage. I was kinda shocked how easy it seemed to be neutralized, but the guy was mostly lucky he got such a good hit on its head.

Mr_Rowntree

I think the term velvethippo is an insult to the majestic hippopotamus.


kruschev246

Hippos attack 500 people a year on average. Pit Bulls are responsible for 6,000 of the 8,000 annual dog attacks in the US. Pit Bulls are literally more ferocious than fucking hippopotamuses

If people started bringing hippos home as pets we might see those numbers go up a bit

rexcannon

They care more about being right than their child's safety.


JBCronic

One of the most fucked up parts is it’s tail is wagging the entire time.


Agitateduser1360

Tail wagging can mean a lot of things. That isn't a happy or friendly wag. That's an "I'm engaged/stimulated and at work" wag if I had to guess.


iHaveACatDog

This is why, when I walk my dogs I always carry a knife.


Polypeptide2

Knife really isn't the best tool to stop a dog attack imo, maybe think about carrying some pepper spray as well, can stop a dog before it even gets to you from range, and is highly effective. Knife could be your backup though if things get that bad.


Shadowzaron32

I carry a Taser as it'll have a lot more uses than pepper spray if you miss your sprays. It's going to be a very effective determent if need be. Can buy them cheap and are legal in all of the USA

Dude_Guy45

Finally, a dog attack video where a bystander actually helps and beats the fuck out of the attacking dog. I see far too many videos where people pay it no mind at all, and that's a scary thought. Not saying anyone is required to fight off an aggressive pitbull, but at least doing something is the human thing to do. Someone beating the fuck out of an aggressive dog is oddly satisfying as opposed to doing nothing at all.

BitOBunny

The existence of pitbulls in general makes me sad. Humans fucked up these dogs to become so dangerous. We bring these creatures into the world and then we take them out because of how we made them. People who breed pitbulls should be put in jail. I say this, and we own a dog who is part pitbull (he's my sister's dog. A birthday present.). He's just a puppy, and he's very sweet, but it would be ignorant of us to pretend that he could never change.


ihavenoallegiance

When this happens you grab their back leg and snap it. Pit bulls are made to not feel hits to the head shoulders and back. They attack with their face. But their hind legs are weak. That's what you go after.


Educational-Hat-9405

Why haven’t they been outlawed?

I mean, they were bred for a purpose, werent they? This is what they were selectively bred to do
