Loose Pitbull bites passerby's leg - Genoa, Italy - February 2025
Genoa – A pitbull bit a 55-year-old man in the leg in Piazza Piccapietra. The animal escaped the control of its owner, a homeless man, who had two other mastiffs on a leash. Fortunately, the consequences for the injured man are not serious, so much so that he did not even need medical attention. But it is likely that he will have to undergo antibiotic therapy.
The 55-year-old called the local police and a patrol took steps to remove the homeless man and two other people who were camping out. At the moment, no action has been taken against the dogs. There are numerous precedents: the homeless man has been removed from the center other times precisely because his pitbulls pounce on passers-by. Several complaints have already been filed and a decisive intervention is expected to prevent even more serious episodes in the future.

Shibble rescue gets upset about ppl telling the truth about the breed, subsequently false reports and bans anyone who doesn't worship at the altar of their maulers
I'm not familiar all of the comments that provoked this post, but apparently the volume of "negative" comments was high enough to bring about their response. So much to unpack...
"They don't exist to harm anyone..." - Ummmmm that's LITERALLY what they were created to do - Maul other animals for bloodsport.
I know nutters have a poor grasp of the English language but I absolutely DESPISE when they use words like "Prejudice" and "Discrimination" to describe the treatment of their beast. Both words inherently suggest that the rejection of their dangerous bloodsport mutts ISN'T based on a reasonable premise. It would be like going to the local pool with a shark or electric eel in the water and being called a "bigot" or "discriminatory" because you refused to swim with it out of safety concerns.
I also find it hilariously hypocritical and ironic that they speak about "challenging the myths" while simultaneously stiffling ANY good faith debate by instantly banning people who don't say lovely things about shibbles. These muppets are always quick to call someone "ignorant" while also being wholely unwilling to engage and "educate" us 🤣
The cherry on top is when they said the quiet part out loud - Their shibbles are "sacred" to them. Cult talk, folks. These people are deranged.
We have quite a ways to go but hopefully this is indicative that public sentiments on shibbles are moving in the right direction.

Everyone knows
At the dog park today, a guy with a pit comes in and I tell my son to hold my hand and stay by my side. This guy we had been chatting with, I think he hears me, and he grabs his leash and smaller dog to leave. The pit runs in an immediately starts being aggressive. Pushes an older man there, probably trying to knock him over, then comes and tries to push my son over. The owner can’t rest for a second, and thank god he didn’t, because some of them do just let their dogs act like that, but the owner is constantly trying to redirect the dog from aggressive behaviors, and lets him chew up the community ball throw stick. The older man had a lab and after a few more minutes he left and we left when he did, but not before the pit growled at us, thinking we might pick up the ball throw stick he’d abandoned on the way out of the park. The guy was left alone in the dog park and maybe it’s my own thoughts but he seemed tired of having that dog and who could blame him. What a nightmare. Everyone knows your dog is dangerous and no one wants to interact with you or it.

Pitbull next door.
At the apartment my boyfriend and I moved to, there’s a pit bull two doors down from our apartment.
From my observations, the pit is owned by a couple, a man who tends to walk the dog around the complex for like 20 to 30 minutes at a time. And sometimes the woman will just blatantly leave the door open and let this thing run around the open area around the front of our apartments. I learned of this because I had to go help my boyfriend because of this because their door was wide open and the dog was harrassing my boyfriend’s car door after work. My boyfriend is terrified of Pit Bulls. And for good reason, as I tell him.
Also to note, when I got over there to deal with the dog for my boyfriend (I’ve handled pits before due to my idiot mother, so I figured I could at least handle getting the dog away. I was about to successfully get the dog in the apartment when the woman comes out to see what’s going on and hears me telling this dog to go home. She tells me that the dog is hers. I said, I’m well aware whose dog this is. However, your dog is harrassing my boyfriend, could you please take your dog inside? This idiot, barely spends 5 minutes half assed attempting to call her dog, barely attempting to grab him by the collar while the dog is jumping away. I told her that I’ve worked with dogs in the past and I could probably be of some help. Though oddly every time I would get the dog over to the door and going inside she would try to grab his collar like an idiot and make him jump back again. She told us that sometimes her dog just “won’t go inside sometimes because he’s too “playful” and that he’s harmless so we can just go by.” She would not hear of it when I tried telling her that my boyfriend is terrified of pits and her dog was jumping all over him. In the end I had to just walk my boyfriend around and keeping the dog at bay for him just so he could get to our door.
Also concerning us is that the pit seemed afraid of her. It was definitely not a playful stance. The pit looked afraid and like he really didn’t want to go inside but not because he was playful. We’re concerned that he is also being abused, and as my boyfriend and I know, abused pit bulls are the most dangerous pit bulls.
Our main concern is that we have a cat, a bunny and two small dogs. Obviously the cat and the bunny are inside but we also have concerns of this dog trying to get into the house behind one of us if it just happens to be running around outside. Any advice on how we can go about keeping especially our dogs safe from this shit beast, and as well as our neighbors (not this neighbor, the one between us) young children.

Do pitbulls have a tendency or history of breaking free from ziplines like they do with kennels or other restraints?
I have a friend with a pit that wants me to visit, and they claim the pit will be secured on a zipline in their yard. How safe is that? Do pits have a knack for getting free from them?

Pitbull dies after being shot by MP during dog attack (2025/02/01, Pauini - Brazil)
A 7-year-old Pitbull dog died after being shot three times by a military policeman on Saturday (1) in the town of Pauini, in the interior of Amazonas.
The incident took place on Omar Mamed Street, in the São Francisco neighborhood, during a fight between the Pitbull, called Shalom, and another dog. According to the owners, the Pitbull was tied up in the backyard when the other dog approached and Shalom became agitated.
He managed to break free from the leash and attacked the other animal. The policeman was riding down the street on a motorcycle with his wife and daughter.
When he saw the dogs fighting, he drew his gun and fired four shots at Shalom, three of which hit him. The owners, screaming, tried to stop the MP from shooting, but he didn't listen.
Shalom was rescued, but died a few minutes later. Shalom's owner is pregnant and felt sick when she saw her pet being killed. She and her husband went to the police station to report the officer.
They claim that Shalom had never attacked anyone before and only attacked the other dog because it approached the house.

9-year-old boy seriously injured after pit bull attack; he received more than 200 stitches to the back of his head (2025/01/30, Monte Alto - Brazil)
A 9-year-old boy was seriously injured after being attacked by a pit bull while he was playing outside. The case happened on Thursday afternoon (30), in the São Miguel neighborhood, in Monte Alto (SP).
The child was rescued and sent to a private hospital in the city and would undergo surgery this Friday (31). Her current state of health has not been announced.
The Military Police were called by neighbors, who reported the house where the dog lives. During the approach, the owner denied that her animal was responsible for the attack, but the officers noticed that the dog's snout was apparently dirty with blood.
A police report was filed. According to the police, officers also questioned the woman about a hole in the living room door, which neighbors said was where the animal escaped, but she denied that it came out that way.
Also according to the police report, at the same time that the owner was denying to the police that the dog had escaped through the hole, it crossed the space and threatened to attack the officers, but retreated.
Update - Father says that even though injured, 9-year-old son attacked by pit bull still tried to calm him down: 'I'm fine'
Juliano Alves Pereira, the father of the nine-year-old boy attacked by a pit bull on Thursday (30) in Monte Alto (SP), remembers that his son, although seriously injured, asked him to calm down when he came home to ask for help.
“I was leaving with my motorcycle at the gate and he was already coming. He looked at me and very calmly said: 'It was the pit bull, but I'm fine. I looked at the cut on his forehead and face and thought 'my wife is going to panic'. Just then, a girl passed by and told me to put him in the car. I went by motorcycle [to the hospital] to get there first, and the ambulance met him halfway. He was rescued quickly.”
The child was admitted to a private hospital and spent around three hours in surgery. According to Juliano, the boy received more than 200 stitches to his face, neck, forearm and legs.
Despite the complexity and pain, his condition is considered stable.
“He complains of pain, he cries a lot, but there's nothing we can do, it's medicine at the right time. The doctors have already told us that he'll be here for at least three days. Everyone is paying attention,” says Juliano.
Dog without vaccines
The father also said that the man responsible for the pit bull got in touch, apologized for the accident and is monitoring the case. According to Juliano, the man told him that the dog was overdue for its vaccinations, which requires more attention to his son's health.
“The boy talked to me, he said he's going to provide all the help he can. He's been talking to me since yesterday, asking how he is, asking for forgiveness (...) The dog is overdue for its vaccinations. He, the owner, said it was up to date, but then he said it was all overdue.”
Attack in the middle of the street
The child was attacked by the animal in the São Miguel neighborhood while playing with a friend on Thursday afternoon.
According to Juliano, his son said he heard a noise, as if something was hitting a tin can. When he looked ahead, he saw that the door of a nearby house was open and the pit bull was running towards him.
“He said the dog hit him and he fell sitting down. The animal grabbed the back of his head and the other boy ran to call his mother. It seems that this friend's uncle was nearby, grabbed a hoe and came running. My son remembers hearing the sound of a motorcycle speeding up and someone kicking the dog. That's when he let go,” said the father.
Witness
Financial manager Eliandra Moretti was one of the people who helped rescue the child. She heard the screams coming from the street and that the neighbors were shouting that it was a pit bull attack.
“At the time, we saw that the boy was sitting down being attacked by a dog. We only understood later that it was a pit bull because there were people shouting that it was a pit bull. Our first reaction was to call the ambulance.”
According to Eliandra, the boy was only saved because other people came together to help him.
“The guy on the motorcycle was speeding up to try and scare it away, and the dog let go and came back at the boy. I called the ambulance, a neighbor in front picked up a stick, then the dog let go and went back to the house where he had come from. He was very hurt, he said it hurt a lot and he was bleeding a lot.”
The case was registered with the Civil Police as bodily injury with intent.

Pitbulls attack men during couple's fight and owner justifies it: 'My defense' (2025/01/25, Itanhaém - Brazil)
Two men were injured after being attacked by pit bull dogs in Itanhaém, on the coast of São Paulo. The owner told g1 that the dogs came to her defense during an argument at home with her partner. The animals then left the house and bit another man who was walking down the street. A surveillance camera caught part of the attack (watch above).
Veterinary assistant Jessica Carolina Alves Alencar, 33, explained that she adopted the pair of pit bulls two years ago. According to her, the dogs are tame and hadn't attacked anyone until they witnessed the argument at home. “They only came to my defense,” she said.
Jessica said that the disturbance began at her home in the Laranjeiras neighborhood, when she and her husband had an argument and the dogs went in the man's direction. However, according to the woman, nothing happened because her partner left the house and prevented an attack.
According to her, the man returned a few moments later, starting another fight. “[He] made a gesture that he was going to pick up the chair. As soon as he made that gesture, the dogs attacked,” said Jessica, adding that the man ran into the street trying to get away from the animals.
https://reddit.com/link/1iggw5z/video/99ou9c41quge1/player
On the road, the dogs found another man, who was not involved in the couple's fight, and attacked him too. The situation was caught on camera.
“The dogs would attack anyone who went near them. I got in front so I could separate them, because they would only stop when they saw that I was okay,” she recalled.
Jessica said she had called the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) and supported them with the cost of treating the victims. “[The men] were discharged the same day [...]. My dogs don't live loose in the street. When they go out, it's on a leash,” she concluded.
Authorities
In a statement, Itanhaém City Hall said that the Samu team found injuries to a 40-year-old man. According to the municipality, bandages were applied to the victim, who was taken to an Emergency Care Unit (UPA).
The Military Police said they were called and, at the scene, found two victims being treated by the rescue team for injuries caused by two pit bull dogs.
“The applicant said she was arguing with her partner when, after being threatened with a chair, the dogs attacked him. In an attempt to flee down the street, the man ended up being followed and attacked by the dogs, which also injured a pedestrian who was passing by,” said the police.
Also according to the Military Police, the victims were taken to the UPA and then to the Police District (DP), where a police report (BO) was registered.
Also in a statement, the São Paulo Public Security Secretariat (SSP-SP) said that the two men were injured after being bitten by dogs. According to the department, the case was registered as 'via de fato' by the Itanhaém Police Station.

Absolutely Torn - Sisters Pitt mauled my Cat 2/1 in NC
My sister's pitt-mix mauled my cat to death. (She and her husband were out of town so my parents were watching her dogs, I moved home back in October but that's a whole other story)
We kept my cat in a secure room but her dog jumped against the door until it opened apparently.
My cat had no teeth, no claws, and was about 18 years old but in excellent health. All I can think is how terrified and scared she was and how she was alone and I wasn't there to protect or save her.
When I saw what happened I couldn't control my rage and went to shoot her dog but my mom stopped me before I could.
As my mom was taking me to the hospital (see below) my sister was adamant we go back and secure the dogs so they didn't run away.
I have now made it clear to my sister she can either put the dog down or she can remain out of my life.
I had always made it clear that would be the outcome should her dogs attack my cats, I have always been anti-pitt and Pitt mix. She's one of those "it's the owner" Pitt lovers.
My parents are trying to guilt me into getting over it.
I can't. I won't.
I guess I'm just posting here to see if anyone had any advice on how I can move forward. What I should do. Should I just get over it. I love my sister but this isn't the first cat her dog mauled to death and I feel she just makes excuses. Im just so angry and so devastated and I am torn.
I absolutely want the dog euthanized but If she doesn't do it I'm going to be so devastated to lose my sister... especially with my baby on the way.
Some side notes: I'm 5 months pregnant (never planned on kids so super stressed), I just had to put down my other cat 2 months ago alone on Thanksgiving. I am also dealing with a condition called Hyperemesis Gravidarum which has caused me to lose weight and be absolutely miserable for the whole pregnancy (all I do is lay in bed and stare at a wall praying I won't throw up before I make it to the bathroom)
This event caused me to begin contractions, luckily everything is fine and baby is perfect but they did have to sedate me.
Sorry if all this was a long winded post.
TL:DR - my sister's Pitt killed my cat, I want her to euthanize it, she doesn't want to, I told her I'd cut her out of my life if she didn't. I don't want to lose my sister but I don't want to compromise on my stance.

Pitbulls tried to attack livestock and my partner's lab and nearly killed our cat - Rural Georgia USA 1/2/2025
As the title says, a group of shitbulls attacked my partner's lab retriever and nearly killed our cat. Starting with a bit of info, I and my partner live out in the middle of nowhere on a small farm with livestock, cows, and horses; to be specific, we have one dog and a barn cat. Dog is a 14-year-old lab retriever, Cody is a 2-year-old barn cat, and Rex is a 2-year-old barn cat. We have never had any issues with feral dogs or even escaped ones until last night.
At around roughly 2:03 (according to my partner) in the morning on 1/2/2025 my partner let the dog Cody out and about a few minutes later at 2:14 I get a call from my partner saying that a group of pits tried to attack one of our horses and attacked Cody before they were able to get him back inside most of what happened after was blur to them and me since it is very nerve recking to hear your horse and dog were attacked by the time I did get home our neighbors were over there since they had the reckless and came to see what happened everyone was looking for our cat Rex and we did find him in a very bad state lots of bites to his neck with torn skin and everything like that and missing his tail we thought he was dead when we found him and later one of our bulls with bites to its legs,
in total a horse with a nasty bite on her leg a bull with bites all fours of his legs dog has a torn muzzle bites to the neck and large missing patches of skin and a cat with a missing tail bites all over him and torn up skin as well the only good thing about this is that the dogs are taken care of our neighbors put them as peacefully as possible and everyone should be okay since Cody and Rex at the time of writing this are at the vet we did have a vet out a few hours ago to check on our bull and horse and they are okay as well I'm just very thankful no people were hurt.

Question about the differences between the game bred dog and the pit we see on the street and in people’s houses
Ok- this may not belong here, but I have another curiosity question and would like to get people’s opinions- people who are staring at these dogs regularly.
I have commented before about the conformation of the average pit/ bully that we see on the street, in the shelter, and being offered by BYB. - the common type pit that people think of as their ….house hippos. There is a pattern I think I’m recognizing, but not sure. The game bred dogs are absolutely of superior physique, no added fat, big head- but not the monstrous ones we see every day. Smaller and lighter in frame and overall better and healthier conformation. Now- if one looks at the typical house hippos- huge heads, huge short necks, massive and usually obese torsos, little spindly legs. I won’t get into the ones shaped really really badly- that u find so frequently in the shelters. The first group of dogs are extremely athletic- no questions there, I can see them jumping high, having boundless energy. These dogs I would honestly believe are capable of scaling those kennel walls, going for hours to fight for a kill.
ok- I’ve noticed in a handful of these videos, most recently the horrible father who abandoned his daughter to a nasty fat pit, also in the video of the 3 dogs that were after the man on the hood of a car, and even the videos of the dogs in SA that were being fended off by fireman- one of whom was on the hood of the car. Ok- the most recent one- of the dog after the little girl. Did anyone else notice that the dog could not manage to jump up on the porch? It certainly had the will to do so, it didn’t think about going after the man on the car. When u watch it jump- it has virtually no flexibility in its spine. The fat body is not able to make what should have been a fairly easy jump for a pit- especially in kill mode. Now- the guy who so handily dispatched at least one if not 2 of the three dogs after him- once again, they make an attempt to jump up, but they can’t do it. Instead trying to lunge and reach him with their mouths. Cannot get purchase on a slick surface. It should be incredibly easy for anything but the fattest, oldest of these dogs to make that high of a jump.
but I’ve never seen a video where they manage it. - their backs are rigid. Their hind legs weak.
so- few questions: has anyone else noticed this?
if this is an actual thing- what is going on with their spines? What nightmare genetic mutation is affecting their ability to flex their spines?
once again, if this is a real thing- would this not be something to consider when trying to contain these damn things? What to build fencing out of, kennels, etc? Or another method for safety ?
seems to me these fat tick house hippos may have another vulnerability that might help others when they find themselves being hunted and have potential vehicles they can escape on to? Or anything really with a slick surface. Seems like if their feet can dig in (like in chain links), that’s where the majority of these dogs can make their escapes. They don’t seem to be nearly as flexible and athletic as their game bred peers, but these are more likely the dogs I think people will encounter.
I don’t know- I noticed it, and it seems odd , might just have been those dogs. But if this seems to be a trend, would it not give us another method to survive?
mods- totally understand if it isn’t a valid point. Feel free to toss it. Really just curious if what Im seeing is real or coincidence and would like others brain power here
