Ich bin also mit Pitbulls aufgewachsen und alle waren uns gegenüber sehr loyal und liebevoll. Einer von ihnen hasste andere Hunde, zwei liebten andere Hunde und ein anderer war gleichgültig. Sie waren ganz normale, alberne alte Hunde, nur stärker und hyperaktiver.
Wenn ich es wäre, würde ich die derzeit lebenden Pitbulls nicht einschläfern, aber ich würde sie verbieten, d. h. die Zucht von Pitbulls illegal machen, bis sie aussterben. Das liegt nicht daran, dass ich denke, dass sie von Natur aus schlecht sind, sondern weil sie so aussehen. Die größten Idioten kaufen sie gerne, stehlen sie, füllen sie mit dieser Wut (es gibt Möglichkeiten) und gehen mit ihnen los, um sie anzuschauen "Cool". Man nutzt sie auch gerne für Hundekämpfe. Auch Tierheime sind voller Pitbulls, weil ihre ursprünglichen Besitzer nicht erkennen, wie stark und energisch sie sind, und am Ende sind sie mehr, als sie erwartet hatten.
Als Tierliebhaber war ich zutiefst traurig über den Hund, der von diesem Pitbull zerfleischt wurde. Das war meine erste Reaktion, nicht meine Frustration darüber, dass ToM die Hunderasse erwähnt hat. Da ich selbst mit einer Liebe zu Pitbulls aufgewachsen bin, denke ich nicht, dass wir verbergen sollten, dass es sich um Pitbulls handelt, wenn Ereignisse wie diese in die Schlagzeilen kommen. Wir sollten auf solche Ereignisse aufmerksam machen und hoffentlich dem Verbot dieser Rasse einen Schritt näher kommen, für uns, für unsere Hunde und für die Pitbulls. Das Problem sind die Idioten, die sie kaufen, um cool und robust auszusehen, und die einzige Möglichkeit, dieses Problem effektiv anzugehen, besteht darin, Pitbulls zu verbieten. Auch hier geht es nicht darum, lebende Pitbulls einzuschläfern, sondern um sicherzustellen, dass keine weiteren Pitbulls geboren werden. Diese Rasse muss aussterben, weil man Menschen einfach nicht vertrauen kann.
Was halten Sie davon?

Banning the existence of a dog seems crazy to me. Why not put restrictions on the breed with heavy fines, instead? Its the people that are the problem, not an innocent creature.
People will not learn until there is a law which states dog attacked X is the same as if the owner attacked X.
I.e. dog killed a person = owner killed a person.
Certain pitbull breeds are inherently more temperamental than most breeds. The breed in general is also physically capable of inflicting more damage than the average dog – strong jaws, muscular build, etc.
That being said. A responsible owner who trains and loves their dog, can make any dog the sweetest, purest animal on the planet.
The issue is that with pitbulls, especially American XLs, there is *very* little room for error in terms of training and handling. Things can go very wrong, very quickly.
I’m in favour of banning problematic breeds moving forwards. Yes, it is incredibly sad that a pet dog was mauled – but it is not a huge stretch of the imagination for us to be discussing the aftermath of a toddler being mauled instead.
I dont know what the best future policy landscape is, but there’s definitely a better regulation landscape than what we have presently.
For reference: I’ve got a rescue tal (apologies for the botched spelling) fennec / tal (apologies again) katcha cross. He’s coming up on 9 years and makes the house a home.
Dog owners are the problem. There seems to be a big problem with lack of responsibility and control over the dogs here. There’s a guy on my street who has a pitbull and regularly I see it wandering up and down the street alone. I’ve also seen him taking it for a walk and it’s never on a lead. It’s so annoying.
I used to go walking around the north of the island, and the amount of dogs running around with the owner nowhere in sight was ridiculous. Not small dogs either. Boxers, dobermans, German Shepherds. I’m used to dogs as I grew up with them, but even so I know that they are powerful and unpredictable.
Edit : as I’m sitting at the cafe now, a woman arrived with a huge mastiff of some kind, absolutely enormous. The owner must be all of 40kg and tiny. No way she has any control over the dog
I think some specific breeds should require a license (depending on a training course for the prospective owners) before they can be legally owned. And insurance.
I’m well aware that the dogs nature has a lot less to do with its nature, whether aggressive or not, than with its upbringing, training and owners behaviour, but unfortunately we keep having idiots keeping strong breeds just for the sake of looking tough.

I agree with everything you are suggesting with one exception. The desire to fight to the death that exists within pits is a trait that was bred into them. They may never act on it but there is always the danger that trait will be triggered. Dumb, violent owners can certainly exacerbate the danger but plenty of fatal attacks have come from pits owned by normal, loving people.
Extremely irresponsible of the dog owner and I’m glad they’re getting fined. Whoever wrote that the dog is to be „destroyed“ needs to stop writing news articles however.
I personally never blame a dog it’s a helpless animal for gods sake but an dumbass of a god owner Thats who I blame. I remember this time my friends mum got attacked by a pit bull and the owner said these words I quote. “What do you want me to do about it, it’s a dog” (in Maltese) and he just walked off and then the search for this dumbass was long but they found im and sadly the dog has to go to sleep and I thought this is not the dogs fault but a stupid owner but they punished a dog.😭😭
Pitts shouldn’t be pets.
There’s a reason some breeds are marked dangerous.
I live in a society that about 10 years ago decided to ban certain breeds and you know what, we do not have to worry about dogs creating bodily harm to other pets or humans and you know what’s even better I never hear how much these dog breeds are missed, but no !!!! Not in Malta ma tarax !!!!!!

Not a very good take to slowly kill off an entire breed of dog just because said dog owners are irresponsible.
Everyone in gozo keeps dogs off leash and some are very territorial. I got two adopted dogs. One is a german/maremma mix who can’t see another dog and another who couldn’t care less unfortunately I am always scared I’m going to turn a corner and meet an unleashed dog. Once 3 bullies surrounded my german mix and it was going to end in a mess. Unfortunately I had to kick the other dogs.
I also had a neighbor in manikata who used to walk his GS unleashed. Everytime he spotted mine he would sprint and start a fight.
Too many irresponsible owners around.
To own a dangerous dog breed, there should be a licensing requirement. And dogs large enough to cause serious harm should be required to wear a muzzle in public.
Owning powerful dogs should come with responsibility.
Not every pitbull, but always a pitbull!
This breed needs to be extinct worldwide. It was designed to kill and it is what it knows to do, doesn’t matter how loving and caring you raise them.
„There’s no such thing as pitbull bla bla bla“ stfu, you all know very well that all those bully types fit the same behaviour.
„I had a pitbull and it was very docile“ but the vast majority of fatalities are on incidents with pitbulls, yours just didn’t had a chance.
„I know a person who gos 20 stitches from a yorkshire“ and if it was a pitbull it would be 20 nails on their coffin.
„Malamutes have a stronger jaw force“ yeah but if you let them go off leash they will run non stop as if they were in a sledge race, pitbull will eat the neighbors kid for breakfest.
„Don’t blame the dog, blame the owner“ blame them both! If you own a gun and an accident happens and kill someone you are at least responsible due to negligence. It is your dog, your responsibility, but ultimately it is the dog’s mouth.
„On Cesar Millan’s show the only dog he gave up was a golden“ yes, but how many episodes there were with pitbulls that the owners had absolutely no idea how to control them and were just a disaster waiting to happen? And how many other episodes with golden retrievers?
„Oh it’s just an isolated case“ yeah right, isolated case number 74949492747393947391094839
I love that meme „the great debate: pitbull attack data vs one cute pic you found of a pitbull“
The main dick is the owner as the dog should be on a leash, however this particular pit has issues and I agree to put it down. Its either compatible to live in society or its downright a menace.
