It was only the breweries in there search for more profit that forced landlords into the food trade and thus ending the smoke room. most pubs just had people smoking lol pubs are a shadow of what they were mate there not making more money i know that 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 9,416 Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 I think some folk who get this type of dog for a pet would soon change their minds if they saw a proper well conditioned pit bull in action. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had this big black bitch years ago that would bounce about on her chain wagging her tail looking happy to see you but if you actually reached out to give her a pat it was 50/50 whether she'd turn into a Tasmanian devil the second your hand made contact with her or not, gave us some good laughs when unsuspecting lads would get lured in by her was like a switch would just go off and for the rest of the day she'd be going mental. Was generally fine once you were actually working with her but you had to watch yourself whenever you were around her spot Chainspots were the only real chance you had with manny dogs i remember an inbred Nelis son of Popeye we had years ago who had got to about 18 months and never raised a lip until i was in his pen one day and he just leaned up front feet on my belly and pushed his nose into me letting out this absolutely evil kind of howl/growl coming from deep within oh man it was horrible ......i was up against a wall and every time i went to move away he'd let out this gut wrenching noise and push his nose in a bit deeper.....we was stuck like this for what seemed like ages but was barely a minute before my pal saw what was occurring and distracted him....but from that day he was just a full on man biter he later nailed someone who was working him,yet his litter brother was an absolute gentleman so you never can tell......nearly every bad experience i had was with them black,orange eyed monsters 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I daresay if you haggle they would willingly give them away them for nothing. Some advertisers offer no additional information. Some say they are dog aggressive. One numpty says he has tried everything " even training" but his bitch is still reactive. There are dozens of litters of pups open to anybody with the money. You can't buy a gun without a licence, which includes a doctors reference and a background check. It is also very difficult to get on to ground and shoot deer for example without producing certificates proving you know what you are doing. Before you can legally drive you have to pass a test and have insurance. We accept these measures as reasonable and for the greater good. Guns and cars are obviously lethal objects. Society needs to be protected from their irresponsible use. Yet any kid or psychological defective can acquire a powerful AB XL capable of killing somebody with no checks, no insurance. CP is right, banning things isn't always the best thing to do. So why not introduce compulsory insurance, with insurance details contained on the dog's chip? No insurance and your dog is confiscated and your dog is impounded until you have bought an insurance document . We could have more dog wardens checking dogs in public places. We should also have dogs muzzled in public and again there would be an outcry. But there was an outcry when smoking in pubs was banned. But now most think it was a brilliant, civilised change which needed to be made. When picking up dog shit first started I thought it weird but I am a total convert now. The government needs to make some ballsy decisions on this matter and stop sitting on its hands for fear of upsetting the nutty dog lobbyists. They won't of course and we will still be posting about the problem next year and forever. Been saying the same for years.....theres a reason its difficult for a 19 year old lad to insure a Ferrari !....ok some young lads will keep their silly dogs regardless and risk having no insurance but it will put some off if the insurance costs more than the dog. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Easy mate.You may think you can overpower a dog when its actually letting you overpower it.Ive took bites off some powerful animals that tip the scales at no more than 70Ib right up to 110lb + wearing either a sleeve or a full suit.If a dog that size with really bad intentions decides youre getting it.Unless youre tooled up youre pretty much f**ked. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
