Ok, here i put my two cents in. I have been around pit bulls all my life. I have never been hurt by them. There are bad people who raise pits to do harm and there are great dogs. You cannot punish an entire breed over a couple dogs. I happen to know a couple of pits who would rather lick you to death and love on you than hurt you. So yeah. So here is my question would you ban labridors because of a labridor going off the wall? just my thought. If you would bann one breed and not another perhaps you need to learn more about some dogs and how they can be raised. Pits raised and trained well can be great dogs.

Here it is in some easy steps:

  1. All “pit bull breeds” must be registered.

  2. All pits must be spayed or neutered.

  3. Any pit puppies born after these regs take effect must be surrendered and euthanized.

  4. All pit owners must carry liability insurance. ($100k per dog.)

This should be national policy. In 10 years, there won’t be any more stories like this. The breed is a menace, and there’s no other way to look at it.

This “nanny dog” claim is absolute bullshit. There are no contemporary sources to back it up. NO dog is a “nanny” and it’s stupid and irresponsible to suggest otherwise. Dogs are animals, not child-minders. I owned a Newfoundland for 10+ years. That’s the dog breed “Nana” from Peter Pan is based on. And I never claimed he was a “nanny dog” and I never left him unsupervised with my kids despite his unbelievably sweet and gentle nature because HE WAS A DOG. Stop spewing this nanny lie. It is DANGEROUS to pretend a dog, ANY DOG, is a suitable babysitter. Jesus.

I had it done prob 20 yrs ago at a doctors office. Warm water and syringe flush…but…a good amount came out…

Which led me to this…basically just the outside part of the ear gets to touch the swab. While you can go crazy deep and pull some out, you get maybe 70% of it…the other 30% keeps getting pushed farther and farther back…and solidifying and accumulating.

The body has a way of slowly pushing the inner wax out on its own and it’s totally fine and normal. Swabs in the ear canal disrupt this natural outflow and lead to buildup.

Just swab the outside from now on.

I want to point out that there's also a sub here on reddit that is mainly about supporting victims of these attacks, spreading awareness of the importance of breed specific legislation, and other important info and topics related to and/or similar to this subject, etc.

A mini-schnauzer isn't as likely. But it does happen, rare as it is. I agree about breed ignorance though. People don't know how to care for a breed's specific needs and tragedy happens. But that still leaves it with the owner being responsible.

There isn't a single breed out there that is universally vicious. There isn't one specific breed that is more likely to bite you. It all comes down to the individual temperament of the animal, it's training, it's treatment.. way too many factors than just "bad dog breed"
