Re: ***Warning:Graphic*** Dogs vs. Bull in Louisiana

Oh man for that first video... I can't get it to load for some reason. Now I'm a big fan of brutal violence so I'd like to see what all the talk is about.

Not for the faint heart...Dogs savage a crocodile.

Sometimes nature is cruel, but there is also a beauty in that cruelty.

The crocodile, as one of nature's ultimate predators, can sometimes fall victim to the kind of implemented 'team work' strategy which is possible due to the pack mentality and highly evolved social structure of canines.

Ok, not that you said anything wrong Cing, but, don't label pitbulls as born killers. I have a pitbull and she's a great dog. I have a daughter and soon to be new baby boy and I am not worried in the least. She's very smart and loving and practically afraid of her own shadow. Any dog can be viscous if man or nature forces them to be that way. Unfortunaly, pitbulls have a bad reputation and I think it's because of stupid, ignorant people who have given them that bad reputation. I mean no disrespect in this reply, but, I hope people don't buy into the reputation that has unfortunately been placed on the breed. Thanks

My comments don't apply to any individual dog, but it's a fact that pitbulls are bred to be fighters. They weren't bred to be companions. They weren't bred to be watchdogs. They weren't bred to hunt. They were bred to fight. Nothing more, nothing less. And they're very good at it.

I agree that the way a dog is raised is much more important than how they've been bred. But as I said above, shock a dog, take it out of its comfort zone, scare it, and it's going to revert to instinct to survive. Pitbulls' instincts are violent.

Agreed, take "A" dog out of its comfort zone, whether it be man or nature doing the taking and it's going to go by it's instinct
All dogs have violent instincts....Most breeds have been bred for some sort of violence, whether it be hunting or fighting. But, the pitbull is also very good at other things other than blind rage. They are very good companions, workers and swimmers, mine will even go underwater to 6ft deep. I agree with you that they were bred to fight, but many large breed dogs were bred for that very same reason. The pitbull, unfortunately, is the best at it. A domesticated pitbull is just as loyal, loving and dependable as any laborador retriever. Again I mean no disrespect to your post, I just hope that people will come to realize that the pitbull is a great dog and a great friend, if raised properly that's all. Thanks

Re: ***Warning:Graphic*** Dogs vs. Bull in Louisiana + Gator vs. Python!

Any type of breed of dog can be a good dog, although some ailments are very common to some dogs. For example, a large number of German Shepards have really bad hip problems. In the case of Pitbulls, sometimes when they grow, their head gets pushed back a bit and the skull can pinch the brain stem. This can literally drive the dog insane, and has been known to be the cause of some violent attacks.

Re: ***Warning:Graphic*** Dogs vs. Bull in Louisiana + Gator vs. Python!

The gator and python is insane. What the heck did the snake think it was doing, trying to eat something that big?

I don't think I'd want to tick off a bull either now. Is the dog in the last picture dead? I saw a series of pictures similar to these before. It was a mule beating the crap out of a mountain lion and then killing it. (I'll see if I can find the pics somewhere)

Both dogs in the last picture appear to be dead. The blood pooling around the head of the closer one sure seems to indicate that...

I've seen one photo of a mule biting the hell out of a cougar, but I didn't know it was part of a series of photos! I'd really like to see them. It's always fun to root for the underdog...

Ah, found this: http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/mulelion.asp

That first photo is the one that I was thinking of... It certainly looks like the puma is still alive and that they're fighting!

That was an awesome post, it really disheartens me to see how sick nature is sometimes.
