Pit bulls may have a bad rap, but it's a well deserved bad rap. They're great dogs - until they're not. They are selectively bred for heightened levels of aggression, a high pain tolerance when excited, and a high prey drive. They are also bred to fight to the finish no matter what (gameness).

I have great respect for JJ and I remember the tragic article she read. That was the only time I disagreed with her using emotionalism over an available solution.

It has nothing to do with training Pit's were bred to kill. A well trained Pit is 100% loyal to it's owners and will attack anything it thinks is a threat.

[@TheSingingGardener]

The audacity of the defendants to counter sue for a fence! 😂 What happened here is so cut and dry and the fact that the defendants even thought they had a chance in court is beyond stupid… there are two people in that relationship and not one of them had common sense to just say “hey, our dogs went over to their property and attacked their dog therefore we are at fault”… 🤦🏽

[@Maranda1993]

1:10 the guy with the plad lmbooo 🤣 whats he doing.

[@Valencia5_11]

The defendant’s really tried it 😂😂😂

[@onemorechance5165]

Should never own dogs .they animals. They belongs to the jungle..stop deprived them of their normal life

[@scotthewitt258]

I've seen enough People's Court that I will never even own a gerbster.

[@peacefreedom4930]

I kinda think it’s slightly messed up that the plaintiffs know their dog did attack the neighbor’s dogs on previous occasions and the defendants never asked for compensation or contacted authorities. Yet when the defendant’s dog retaliated, the plaintiff’s initiated the process to have him put down and sued. If the defendants were like the plaintiffs Blue would have been put down 2 years ago when he attacked their dog Lily or the dog that was retaliating. I bet the next time Blue acts up the defendants are going to call the authorities and Blue will be euthanized. What goes around comes around. They are both responsible and negligent. They should have done a lot of things differently.

If you have any large breed dog, then put up your own sturdy fence with locked gates.

[@mamacindyrogofsky495]

These guys look like brothers. 🤣🤣

[@Jean0987654321]

The defendants are pathetic. I don't trust them owing dust much less a pitbull AND they also had to audacity to file a countersuit? 🤦‍♂️

[@DanyelleHygrade]

From what i just heard they put their dog down because he’s been in this position before. Why not surrender the dog and say he can’t be around other animals

[@fabianbotello4917]

An American Staffordshire terrier is NOT the same as a pitbull

[@jessicaaaaaaaaaaa95]

This! They are grouped with them, but according to the AKC, they’re different breeds.

[@DavidHernandez-zw3oy]

American staffordshire terriers are considered pit bulls by legislation targeting pitt bulls....so yeah they're technically bred in a different group but by law they're considered a pitt so if a city has laws saying that pitts are banned the same is for the staffordshire because they have so much in common and have the been characterized as having the same lockjaw that american pitbull terriers have and is what makes them considered a pitt bulls by technicality...... American bulldogs are not pitt bulls but staffordshire are actually classified as such. If the law says it is a pitt then it's considered a pitt by all associations and veterinarian practices 🤷‍♀️.... doesn't matter if it's a little different if the laws classify the breed as the same as an american pitbull terrier.

[@jennross6466]

Generally speaking, the American Staffordshire terrier is nearly the same breed as the American pit bull terrier. Today, the main difference is in appearance. The American Pit Bull Terrier is one of the so-called bully breeds often labeled a pit bull. In fact, "pit bull" isn't a breed, but a term used to describe the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Same breed just different sizes and appearances.

[@ayeohhsb]

Thank you! I wish more people would do that & I was disappointed when the plaintiff grouped the AmStaff as a pb. Two different dogs completely

[@stephanieruiz9053]

Exactly!!! I have a staffie and he’s actually much bigger than a pittie. Pbs are actually smaller and more agile.

[@debshaw680]

A staffy isn’t a pit bull. Either he is using that to hide the fact that he has a pit bull or he doesn’t understand what a staffy is. Pit bulls are not good pets. There are way too many attacks. One of my dogs is a former bait dog. They let young dogs fight smaller dogs. The scars are terrible. My other dog is 13 lbs. and we were attacked 3 times by a neighbor’s pit who tore the screen out of the window to get at us. Even his owner wasn’t willing to wade in. Luckily I was able to hold my dog over my head so I was the only one injured. He dragged his owner after me the other two times. They got kicked out of the complex after it knocked an elderly lady down and savaged her dog. My daughter’s silky terrier was brutally attacked by her neighbor’s pit that jumped into her fenced yard. Thousands in vet bills. He won’t go into his yard any more. They have to put him in the car every time he needs a walk and take him down the road.

[@Ailenna]

The fence is pretty, but vinyl, it will not keep almost anything out.

[@whitechris720]

Your home is your castle, build a moat lol.

[@thecheshirecat299]

Needed to cut that “teather” and let the pitbull be free to tear that other dog apart

[@cathyvicente3877]

my daughter is 12yrs old, really she is 13!!! but soon she will be turning 14🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️

[@ayeohhsb]

Is everyone just missing the fact that it was the pit bull that got attacked? Lol why are some of these comments talking about the pb as if it was the aggressor in this case?

[@crimson2246]

pitbull attacking a pitbull

[@xxxxx262]

Yep 👍

[@imjustsaying6712]

Okay I know I'm being mean *but* the defendants wife's eyes 👀 only one eye could look straight at a time and I couldn't stop looking...it was mesmerizing....😂😂

[@morgancalvi6675]

Just in case the female plaintiff ever sees this...you need speech therapy...the way your tongue pushes your teeth...is why the are so crooked. I had the same issue...I swallowed wrong. The tongue is supposed to hit the roof of the mouth...not your teeth.

[@kathleencalhoun2225]

Sorry, but I don't feel bad for the Plaintiff and his pit bull despite seeing those pictures. It attacked the first dog Lilly unprovoked and the Defendants did not collect for damages to their dog in that incident when they could have. It is unfortunate for the Defendants that the Plaintiff was prepared and they weren't. Judge was correct in stating that Defendants still should have assumed more responsibility by taking precautionary measures in either reinforcing the fence or erecting another fence.

[@KatieJoMikell]

I don’t understand people and their dogs. I have a dog a lot of my neighbors have dogs we’re all careful knock on wood never had an incident in our neighborhood where one dog attacked another dog people get out of the way people just don’t let it happen cuz every owner is responsible for their dogs actions even when they act like an animal and attack. You have to stop your dog. It’s The humans responsibility.

[@elvickRULES]

Wtf why didn’t they try to regime their dog? They said this was the first sign of aggression and it’s just with this one dog from past trauma. Just don’t walk that way or rehire. You killed your dog for this? There must be more to it.

[@annward4149]

Defendants especially the wife acts like they're better than the plaintiffs.
