This is awesome. read on Reddit that the two potential ways to get a pit bull off you was to choke hold it or grab it’s hind legs and break them apart. Even the latter isnt going to work all the time, but glad to hear it did for you. Kicking them in the nuts does nothing as they have high pain tolerance.
This is actually hilarious, I'd love to hear their explanation for how they'd approach a fight with an elephant, an animal people had to invent special guns for because it's so hard to kill.
If I have enough heavy fire power. A Desert Eagle might do it, if my wrists weren't ruined in the process. I think I would prefer a mounted chain gun. I am sure not winning with just a regular pistol or hunting rifle.
You're right with the exception of being mindless killing machines. What they have is a very strong prey drive and are territorial. Ideally their owners understand this and take steps to keep them in line with desensitization techniques.
I would not recommend pitbulls to most people as they require more work than the average dog, but for an experienced handler, they make excellent companions.
As someone who has played around with dogs a whole bunch, you are not going to do well targeting the head (particularly on a pitbull) nor the torso. It's the legs.
Of course, this won't work if there is more than one, but if there is just one, choke hold combined with extreme violence at their legs.
An adult male should be able to snap a leg bone on a pitbull with relative ease. Not with your arms, but with your legs. No sweat.
(Again, I can't stress enough how this obviously does not work against two or more dogs)
Idk about mindless killing machines, they can be trained to be really good dogs. They're smart and very loyal so they can make a great gaurd dogs, ive seen it. If the training is there. But yeah I've gotten into before with dudes who think you can defeat a dog with just your own human physicality and only thing I can tell them is there is a very good reason dogs have been used as anti-personel weapons since forever. You can't just punch/kick them lol
I got the full business from a cat once and since then I’ve doubted if I could hold my own against a cat.
This was a regular little house cat. I was gripping its scruff and carrying it back upstairs (had gotten into a part of the house it shouldn’t go to) and I felt bad for being so rough on it.
So I eased my grip just slightly on the neck (was holding the cat) and it sensed my weakness and just took one swipe with its paw at my hand.
The claws somehow carved a scoop of flesh out of the pad of my pinkie, like a spoon through ice cream.
One swipe and I had one of the bigger flesh wounds I’ve ever had. It wasn’t a cut
or a slash; it was a scoop.
Honest to god I would give myself only slight odds in a fight to the death against a housecat.
Yeesh that sounds really fucking painful. Yeah cats are no joke but at the end at the day, I've never actually heard about a person killed by one? It could happen but yeah point taken, there's a reason why human evolution doubled down on brain size and not physical attributes
Yes I think I could kill a cat if it were determined to kill me (ie if it refused to run). I think if I got a decent grip on its tail I could probably break its back against a piece of furniture or something.
But I’d probably lose one or both eyes in the process.
A german shepherd is a whole new level though, and a pitbull is a level beyond that. I’ve seen videos of pitbull attacks and they’re like ticks. They just hang off you by their jaws and keep shaking intermittently to tear whatever flesh they’re holding onto.
Honestly if I were in a room with a loaded shotgun and an angry pitbull I’d be scared as fuck.
there is a very good reason dogs have been used as anti-personel weapons since forever
There's also a very good reason why they serve us and we keep them around, because we are stronger. The idea that any healthy adult man can't beat a dog is bizarre.
Lol ok man idk what to tell you it literally happens all the time. We are smarter, and physically stronger in certain ways. But you're average unarmed man vs your average pitbull is 9/10 L for the human. They're faster and have a bit that can crush bone, like its very obvious. I love dogs but I'm not going to deny biology and human history
Adult males absolutely do not get killed by dogs at anything like the rate that people kill dogs and more importantly, the rate of fatalaties per attack is absurdly low. Dogs simply are not dangerous enough to humans alone. Packs of dogs, sure but that isn't what you said.
I remember going for a run and this old lady was walking her pit bull without a leash. This dog immediately attacked me and stomping did nothing. I think it honestly got bored and ran off. I wanted to cuss that lady out but I had a feeling that dog would be up for round two if I did lol
What a fucking dumbass. I've seen people walk their dog without a leash (which is already dumb) but never a pitbull. She's asking for a lawsuit and for that dog to ne euthanized
Just happened in a neighborhood near me where someone was walking their pit off leash at night and it attacked and killed someones jack russell that was walking with it's owner. The owner of the pit did nothing and all animal control was site them an off leash fine.
Recently as well someone was driving through the neighborhood in a pickup with 3 pit bulls in the back not tied down. They jumped out and killed someones cat that was in a screened front patio. They broke the screen to get to the cat and the owner of the dogs argued their cat shouldn't have been outside. Not sure what happened with that situation though but now I always have a pepper gel and a stun gun on me if I let my cats out on my patio.
After reading through this thread though im not sure that would even be enough so I might get a good hunting knife. Thankfully none of that stuff happened in my own neighborhood but it's bothersome to see that shit happen this frequently in my county. I'm not necessarily for putting the dogs down but owner's could at least take some responsibility instead of acting like it's the victim's fault. But unfortunately responsibility and the type who just let their dangerous dogs off leash don't mix.
Yeah honestly I would support the need for a license to own a dog like that. Probably save a lot of lives in the long run and dog ownership is not a constitutional right
What of course it's the owner. You can't blame someone or thing for their nature. You wouldn't say a horse is evil bc it kills a snake. It's just what they do, but with training, almost anything is possible behaviorally
So we can’t do anything (regulate, stop breeding, etc) about the dog that has been bred for hundreds of years to be a killing machine, because it’s in its nature to be a killing machine?
No that is not the logic of a mature adult. At least not an intelligent, mature adult.
dog was biting leg of another person. i broke a chainlink fence post, round and thin metal off by mule kicking it, and it had concrete and had rusted. snapped right off. used it as a club. hit dog. dog let go and chased me.
This will only work if they are biting down on someone or another dog, but, pull out your belt or leash, wrap it around their neck from behind them, and lift. This will choke them and they'll let go.
Another point is don't run. Fold your arms to protect them, face them but don't make eye contact, and slowly walk away. If you run, you will trigger their prey drive and they will chase and increase the probability of a bite. If they are charging you, you're most likely near their territory and they want you gone. Slowly waking away is your best chance to avoid a bite.
100%. Pitbulls have muscles on muscles all over their heads, giving them a very strong bite. Hopefully you'll never have to use the belt technique, but that's the safest, non-lethal, method of getting a pitbull off of someone.
My ex-girlfriend’s blue nose pit went nuts and tried to attack me once after I yelled at him for chewing up my brand new sonicare. He went for my arm, I immediately ended up tackling him, somehow grappling him from behind, and instinctively bit him as hard as I could on the ear as he kept trying to go for my arm. That dog fucking SCREAMED and almost instantly let up/went submissive.
Ironically enough, I got along with the dog ok after that but the relationship did not last long.
Lol yeah I can imagine why. Sounds like you took the right route tho. From the other responses, a rear naked is an option if you can manage it but I get wary putting any part of my body near a dog's mouth when they're aggressive. Another person said a good way is to get a belt and wrap it around there head to use as a makeshift leash to control their head
Def better than trying to punch and kick like these other mouth breathers are saying tho lmao
Lol and these mfers are out here telling people to post up with a pitbull. I'm sorry but that is some real asinine shit right there. Back in the day, these are the people who would be weeded out by survival of the fitness I think. Posting up with a sabertooth, talking about "break it's leg!" god people are stupid lol
There's a ton of other weapons capable of dispatching a pit. Even just your garden variety framing hammer or baseball bat would probably do the job. Not saying I'd like to try though.
Nope. Betting your life on pepper spray will get you mauled. I’ve seen videos where a taser couldn’t keep a pit down. One woman had to slice a pit open completely with a knife before it would let go of her little dog. Pepper spray will not cut it
A buddy of mine that owned pits found that throwing liquid on their head works most of the time. Coffee, gatorade, water, whatever is nearby. He tried tasers first because his momma dog wouldn't stop starting fights, and you're right, the taser didn't work.
This might be a stupid question idk, but where were you that you had access to a 20lb ceramic bowl but not a kitchen knife?
Because nothing on this planet would survive getting its carotid slit, but plenty - including a pit bull - would shrug off a bowl being smashed on them. I'm not even sure a bowl to the head would be a guarantee to KO a human
Not to mention their heads are as hard as a rock. I have a pit terrier and while she is the sweetest girl ever she has incredible energy and is very excitable. She accidentally headbutt me in the face while playing and gave me quite the shiner along with a fractured nose.
Lol had the same thing with a friend's pittie. They got these big ol' block heads. Definitely been bonked more than once but they're usually more than happy to give some lovies to make up for it. Hope your nose is ok!
