Common sense is subjective it seems.

I only watched the first 2 videos, the first one terrible owners plain and simple they should not be allowed to have dogs, the 2nd which i believe is the one you mention the cat was alive when the woman carried it away and again terrible owner the guy lets his dog wander around a public parking lot unleashed and watched it go into their yard, casually goes over and just opens the door and waits for the dog to come back out.
Like 2 minutes later the dog gets the cat and the guy tried for like 2 seconds before his buddy had to pull the dog off and yell at it.

almost any breed would probably react the same way in such conditions, chained to a 10foot space they will become insanely territorial, and with an owner so....unpresent its no wonder that dog wouoldnt come when called and had no issue wandering into someone elses yard for 5 minutes.

this has nothing to do with a bad dog. Dogs are a product of there owners. If the owner had a eye on his dog while it was outside, there is a much higher chance the cat would still be alive. I dont care if you have a enclosed backyard.. dogs are amazing escape artist... he can get out if he wants to... ALWAYS have your eye on your dog if he is outside.

Can't argue with this, guaranteed if I was there It wouldn't have happened but I was still asleep and someone else let her out.

I would agree that most of the time if there is a problem with a dog, it usually stems from the owner not doing their job. However I really can't believe that people think that ALL problem dogs have a bad owner. Certain breeds have different personality traits, that's just the way it is. If you have ever owned a husky type breed you will know what I mean.

We've never owned pitts, so I won't comment on the supposed "aggressive" tendencies that pitts have. I have known people who have owned pitts, and I've always heard the same thing: they are gentle and respond very well to training. This is one reason they are good as fighting dogs, they respond well to training. They certainly get a lot of bad press, but perhaps for whatever reason shitty dog owners really want to own pitbulls, or maybe there is something in their nature that can cause them to just snap.

That cute little thing I posted a pic of earlier? I got her from a shelter. She was a territorial little shit that would attack anyone and everything that approached me, even my own kid. With proper training I can now take her to work and she sleeps in her bed all day next to my desk. This anti pit bull stuff is stupid.

But good luck training a cat not to kill birds if you let it outside. I love cats, but they're just different animals.

Ask a vet what they have more problems with: pit bulls or chihuahuas.

[joppykid]

You're very naive if you truly believe pitbulls are natural born killers and know nothing of dogs.

[Hitchens]

Every behavioral problem in a dog is due to the owner not doing his or her job and probably shouldn't have a dog. These animals were created by people to serve people, and they want to serve people. They just need to be told how.

This sounds like some shit out of the south about slaves.

Humanocentric trash.
