In a 1520 letter, Hernan Cortés wrote that the Aztecs raised and sold the little dogs as food.[7] Colonial records refer to small, nearly hairless dogs at the beginning of the 19th century, one of which claims 16th-century Conquistadores found them plentiful in the region later known as Chihuahua.[8] Small dogs such as Chihuahuas were also used as living heating pads during illness or injury. Some believe this practice is where the idea of pain being transferred to animals from humans originated, which gave way to rituals such as burning the deceased with live dogs, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a very large golden retriever - she wouldn't hurt a fly. Anyone comes in the garden she instantly wants to be friends and play. We also have a teacup Yorkshire terrier. She goes mad if anyone comes to the gate. If they come in the garden without us escorting them she'll have them. She's bitten five people so far - ankle or foot. Totally fearless once set off and incredibly protective. Yet with the family, soft as a brush; never even snapped at anyone.

Popular Post mixed Posted January 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2020 This is has nothing to do with breed and everything to do with lack of responsibility. - The owner had two pitbulls roaming freely, most likely un-neutered and probably breeding for quick cash - He has now removed one - The landlord wants both gone Where are the authorities and why aren't both dogs now confined? Why do these stories always place emphasis on victims having their bills paid, as if that would solve everything? And why do owners think the worst thing about their dog attacking someone is having to pay for the damage? Where did it happen? There's a pitbull problem in our area. Two houses are breeding them, they have several. They have bitten people, killed dogs, buffalo and deer (killed several after getting in the enclosure). My wife tried to save a dog they attacked but couldn't so she filmed it and took it to the authorities. They didn't want to know. After killing the deer one of the dogs was apparently poisoned, now I see they have a new pup. The owner of one pack is a laborer, staying on his employers land. Everyday he would take the dogs for a walk, the other day one chased a dog into it's owners yard and killed it. We phoned the employer who said he'd chat with his staff. The dogs have not been seen since, but with the passage of time I'm sure they'll reappear as will the problems. It's nothing to do with breed and all about responsibility. Not just the dog owners, but also the authorities and the media who need to provide more info and ask some tough questions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Most reasonable people would agree that if you insist on keeping any dog (or cat), you should keep it to yourself. Excrement everywhere and packs of feral and/or pet dogs is unacceptable and needs tackling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When baiting large animals was outlawed in the 1800s, people turned instead to fighting their dogs against each other. Glad to know you can use google , so tell me again how exactly do they breed them to be violent? maybe you missed it but dog fighting is outlawed and has been for decades. By selective breeding. Dogs that were good at fighting were selected and bred with other similar dogs, passing on and amplifying the trait to their progeny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tropposurfer Posted January 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2020 A species of dog like some others specifically bred to kill. They are not pets!!! This species has killed, mauled, and maimed people in Australia too. They should be banned for sale and breeding! Anyone who owns one that hurts people or other dogs (which they are usually apt to do), should be fined and or jailed for harm their dogs do!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to be cute? The same way you breed dogs to emphasise any other quality. You breed them to be violent by mating individual dogs that have shown a propensity for violence. Other qualities are seen as "good" in this type of breed, such as obedience and strength/muscle mass. There are a lot of people who are drawn to really dangerous, violent, powerful dogs. The scarier the better. So this type of breed is getting worse every generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebrown Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 8 hours ago, Logosone said: Where I live, Nong Han in Chiang Mai, there is a horrendous dog problem. An elderly neighbour next door has 5 dogs. Virtually every Thai house on the street has four or more dogs. Most of them do not have a fence and do not put the dog on a chain. The net result is that you have dogs coming at you when you walk the street, often in packs of 5 or more. Not to mention the dogs tearing open rubbish bags and urinating all over the bin, fence, everywhere. I only go for walks carrying a big stick. But thanks to reading the above article I will now get gun that fires blanks on Lazada, as it appears the noise is more effective than any stick. Also ordered Spyderco knife just in case. The situation is that bad here. I've just sent yo a PM about the gun. I need some information if you can help, please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post androokery Posted January 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2020 Some people argue that it's not the breed, it's the owner that determines if the dog is dangerous. I think that's a moot point in the case of pitbulls. Any person who wants to own a pitbull is exactly the type of person who should not be allowed to own a pitbull. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem in Thailand is soi dogs, packs of farral dogs roaming every street. Thai peoples lack of accountability for failing to keep their animals under control. Unbelievable laws and police attitudes that place dogs above human rights. Any dog can turn on its owner regardless of breed and an example would be to roll about on the ground playing with 2 or more dogs and see what happens when there excitement level rises and the pack instinct kicks in.

You have a point - but the average pit bull is a lot more powerful than the average soi dog, which is usually some medium-sized scrawny dog that I think I can probably hurt with a good kick. A pit bull - not so much. I don't know anything I could possibly do to an attacking pit bull that might help, unless I am armed. Which, you could argue, a pit bull owner is. The dog is the weapon.

This thread is yet another about Pit Bulls attacking, they usually end up killing of course, it's not about soi dogs who, thank goodness are not usually killers. The Pit Bulls are killers irrespective of how they are btought up or how responsible the owners are, and there is something suspect about the mentality of any one wanting to own one of course. Pit Bulls are banned in at least 12 countries for a reason- THEY ARE VIOLENT KILLERS. Let me guess you have a 'pittie', probably with a name like fang, tyson or rocky. What about all the other dogs then is the argument Thais use when their pest gets complained about. All dogs can attack and bite, but if you had a choice the last one doing it to you would be a vicious Pit Bull!
