jbg Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Posted June 11, 2009 There, I fixed that sentence for you. LOL but unfortunately I'm serious. I suspect that the reason that Travis went nuts was the intrusion of another person into the "relationship". Only Travis was unable to post malicious gossip about the victim on Facebook, though a "face" was otherwise involved in the attack.

AngusThermopyle Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Or a Pit Bull Terrier....they are pure muscle with an adrenialine gland attached supplimented by a brain the size of a golf ball that screams the ancient carnivor chant - rip rip rip - chew - swallow then lick up the blood... This statement is all I need to hear in order to know you've never owned a Pit Bull or spent much time around them. They're great dogs and have only earned the reputation they have because of stupid wanna be tough guys. Of course McSquinties answer was to ban the dogs, knee jerk and stupid, far easier than addressing the issue of stupid wanna be tough guy owners. In the past Pit Bulls were known as Nanny dogs because people would buy them for their children. The dogs would protect and watch the children. Really Oleg, you should learn of what you speak before deciding to squeak loudly. Sorry for the thread drift but I just couldn't allow such a false and stupid statement to go unaddressed.

They tend to hide when strangers come over and have to be coaxed out to play or be petted.The most truly vicious breeds, though, are Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers and Newfoundlands, two of those three breeds being Canadian.

lictor616 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 A well-liked, friendly 14 year old chimpanzee literally went apes*** this past Monday in Stamford, Connecticut. Read below:Brings to mind the lyrics of this song, Gitarzan (link): GITARZAN Ray Stevens He's free as the breeze He's always at ease He lives in the jungle and hangs by his knees As he swings through the trees With a trapeze in his B.V.D.s He's got a union card and he's practicing hard To play, the guitar, gonna be a big star Yeah, he's gonna go far And carry moonbeams home in a jar He ordered Chet's guitar course C.O.D. Like A and E and he's working on B Big W&W and R&B and even the chimpanzees agree That someday soon he'll be a celebrity Get it, get it, get it. Gitarzan, he's a gitar man He's all you can stand Give him a hand, gitarzan He's got a girl named Jane With no last name Kinda homely and plain But he loves her just the same Cause she kindles the flame And it drives him insane When he hears her say She really does her thing It's her claim to fame Come on sing one Jane Baby, baby, oh baby Baby, oh baby (How about that folks) They've got a pet monkey who likes To get drunk and sing boogie woogie And it sounds real funky Come on your turn boy Sing one monkey Let's hear it for the monkey On Saturday night they need some excitement Jane gets right and the monkey gets tight And their voices unite In the pale moonlight And it sounds all right Yeah, it's dynamite, it's out of sight Let's hear it right now Baby, baby oh baby Yeah, shut up baby, I'm trying to sing Get it, get it, get it Repeat Chorus well certainly that's rather racist... calling a black teen a chimp ... i'm surprised that the MSM would use such language.. is this an onion news bit?

jbg Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) Update: This article is about a recent interview given by the victim of the chimp. Apparently the chimp wasn't as docile before the attack as the public was led to believe. Excerpts below: Chimp Attack Victim Reveals Face By CARYN ROUSSEAU and JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN (link) CHICAGO (Nov. 11) - A Connecticut woman who was attacked by a 200-pound chimpanzee revealed her heavily disfigured face on television Wednesday, saying she is blind and has to eat through a straw, but isn't angry. "I don't even think about it," Charla Nash said on Wednesday's episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show." "And there's no time for that anyways because I need to heal, you know, not look backwards." ****************** In a telephone interview Wednesday night with The Associated Press, Nash said she repeatedly warned Herold that the primate was dangerous and could hurt someone. Nash said she saw the chimpanzee throw large objects around his cage, including a desk and 55-gallon plastic drum. She said she saw him flash his teeth and pound the bars of the cage so violently his hands would bleed. "They had to weld the cage because he was starting to break out from hitting it so much," Nash said. Another time Herold told workers at her house they had to leave because Travis was misbehaving, Nash said. Nash said she was afraid of Travis, who was typically locked in his cage when she saw him. Nash said she told Herold eight or 10 times he was dangerous. (snip) Edited November 13, 2009 by jbg Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

Although in the end whether a dog will attack is up to 2 factors it's personality and it's training, but If it has a shitty personality all the training in the world won't stop it from attacking.

Ah well it's really the 2 factors I've mentioned that determine agrresion because you can have incredible docile and nice dogs from normally agrressive breeds. Quote

PocketRocket Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 You don't address the uniquely vicious nature of Golden and Labrador Retrievers or Newfoundlands. I'm not sure if you're making a joke here, or if you're serious. In case it's the former, I've known many retrievers of both the varieties you mention among others. Can't recall any of them being particularly nasty. I've always thought of retrievers as being among the more tractable breeds. Quote I need another coffee
PocketRocket Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 Back to topic...... After checking out the link posted to the Oprah show, I hardly know what to say. I would definitely NOT be as charitable as the victim seems to be. The chimp's owners should be taken to the cleaners on this, especially after having been warned repeatedly, after having to weld the cage back together after the chimp had tantrums. I cannot fathom what goes through the minds of people who insist on keeping dangerous pets. I'm quite comfortable with my two housecats, thank you very much. One of them occasionally scratches, but seeing as he hides when anyone comes to visit, the only one I have to worry about him scratching is me. Quote I need another coffee

PocketRocket Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 They attack using both teeth and tails. For reasons I needn't get into here, I had to knock on the door of a complete stranger earlier this evening. He greeted me at the door, with 2 huge, male retrievers in tow. One looked to be a Chocolate Lab, the other a Golden Lab. Both big dogs sniffed intensely, which is part of their duty when checking out a stranger in their house. When I held my hand out, palm up, in front of their faces (not above their heads, that is a threat position), they both had a sniff, and made it quite obvious that they were receptive to friendly advances. Within about 2 minutes, both of them were laying on the floor with me squatting over them, scratching one behind the ears, while the other was on his back accepting a belly-rub. Seriously, chum, I cannot recall EVER meeting a retriever that I was not able to become friends with within minutes. Another short personal story. My (now ex-) wife, my (now dead)dog and I, out for a long walk in the woods, came upon a farm. Three huge Black Labs come charging up the hill from the farm. Unknowingly, we had trespassed on someone's property, and these 3 brutes were coming to tell us so. I told my wife to stand still and let the dogs smell her. She was about 25-yards away from me. I had a rifle, so was not unduly worried about the dogs, but I also wanted her standing still JUST IN CASE I would have to shoot the dog checking her out. I held my dog in such a way that she was forced to remain in a sitting position, so she would not give any appearance of being a threat. While the dogs were checking us out, I just kept talking to them in a calm voice, the usual things, "Aren't you a big boy", "What a good boy you are". Within a minute or two, all three of these huge brutes were capering about, playing with me, the wife and my dog. They followed us about 1/3 of the way home, like an escort. Total strangers, trespassing on their home, and they became friends in no time. We frequently went back there, and each time the dogs greeted us like long-lost friends. JBG: All I can say is you must have had a string of bad luck in the retrievers that you've met. I've messed around with MANY of them, and never had any sort of problem at all. Or, you're pulling my leg. If that's the case, maybe I'm exceptionally obtuse when it comes to this subject because you SEEM to be serious about it. Whichever......have a good one....
