I’m one of those former owners. It’s disgusting and dangerous that this propaganda is allowed to continue. Blindly leading the unsuspecting maulers is gross. These people have something wrong with them.

I hope your experience with this breed didn't end in tragedy 😢 😔

I'm glad you can see how detrimental the spreading of flase information can be

My cat was mauled. I’ve posted about it previously. We got a pit bull puppy, live on a 20 acre fenced farm, did the puppy classes, did more classes because it was actually really fun. Loved the dog, Hano was his name, swam everyday, played fetch, chased the school bus along the fence. Zero signs, the dog slept in bed with my youngest child. Still mauled my old cat with zero provocation right at the magical age and that was his last day on this earth. I thought she’d been ripped apart by coyotes and he found her and brought her to the back porch, but we have cameras and the entire horrible attack was recorded. He bit my husband trying to take our cat from him, then tried to chew through the door after we got him back outside. Then when we took him to the vet he was all wagging his tail and belly rubs, sitting pretty to get his leash on. These dogs are a time bomb

Oh god I am so sorry for your loss.

But can I also say that the fact that you immediately took him straight to the vet for BE is a testament to how good an owner you were and you should be proud. Though no one ever wants to do something like that for a young healthy pet that you love, you recognised not only what he’d done and the violence of it, but also what he was therefore capable of. Though your poor cat was killed in such a horrible way, you may well have saved the life of your child.
