Neighbor just got a pit bull...

I’d talk to the guy and tell him it’s not ok to have his dog running around loose.
If it came in my yard I’d call them to let them know to come get it. If I saw it again loose in my yard or out and about I’d call animal control.
If it was ever loose in my yard and acting aggressively towards my family or pets and I’d probably just kill it.

Bullshit. A Mastiff only presents its neck to vicious pit pulls.
OP needs to get a bowl of antifreeze for the friendly pit and be done with it.
Keep throwing in all these variables however at the end of the day what’s locked up in your neighbors backyard is none of our business.
I thought that was specifically stated in OP’s post. (That the dog was off leash in a public area)
The only dog that ever bit me was neighbors who were nice folks, though both were military so they had the kind of BS machismos that required them to own a pit Bull. Several of us were in their backyard for a bbq and it was strolling by me and just casually took a big bite on my calf. Never broke stride, just chomped me and kept going. I wasn’t sure what happened at first, then blood started flowing down my leg.
They had always bragged about how they trained it and gave if affection. And they were the kind of disciplined people who would follow all the rules on bringing up a dog. We had just moved in a few months prior, and later we found out the dog had mauled the prior owner of our house’s dog, resulting in a lawsuit.
I don’t trust pit bulls, period. It’s the breed.
Try reading the OP, off leash in a public area isn’t a variable.
First, read your HOA rules and city code. I would be amazed if both don’t require dogs to be leashed. Once your have knowledge, file the appropriate complaints.
Second, carry pepper spray.
The guy is an idiot and an asshole. Do what you have to in order to protect your family.
I will tell you the same thing I told my no pics wife, they put a bitterant in antifreeze now, find something else to use if you are trying to kill me. (Insert dog for me in this scneario)
Yeah, he didn't say "pepper of the earth" , so maybe he really IS racist?
I’ve never met or seen a sane, non-trashy pitbull owner. If you have a pitbull and you have young children, you’re a POS.
I can't speak for all pit bulls or pit bull owners, but my in-laws had one from the time it was a puppy. They treated it well and trained it well. It was around family, including babies and young children, and friends and even strangers of all ages. In its older years, the in-laws adopted a small rat-dog (can't remember the breed) and the dogs got along well. The little one even would put the pit bull in its place. They never fought. Can some pit bulls be aggressive by nature? Absolutely. But nurture plays a huge role in their behavior also.
Bingo!

You really have no idea what you’re talking about. Dogs are bred for certain characteristics. No amount of training will turn a pit bull into a pointer. Pointers, on the other hand, will instinctively point. Yes, upbringing for a pit has a big impact on outcomes but pits are bred for traits that make them inherently more dangerous than other dogs. Even pits raised with “love and affection” can react instinctively - and aggressively - to a stimulus. Just like any other dog.
Mankind has been practicing animal husbandry for about 130 centuries.
Some people in this thread aren’t on the level of our Neolithic ancestors.
For starters, "salt of the earth" folks don't live in 3500 sq ft houses with an HOA. Also, complaining about some's pet to another neighbor makes you a huge "KAREN". Either grow some balls and talk to the pet owner or stfu.
Lots of advice in this thread but only one solution and not mentioned yet.
What advantage do you expect to be gained from talking to the moron with a furry bear trap? Do you imagine the moron is one patient conversation away from enlightenment?
I don’t necessarily agree. I take my dog to parks or large outdoor areas off leash, when nobody is around, to let her run, chase squirrels, swim…just letting her be a dog.
It's called being an adult and addressing what you perceive to be an issue. Apparently this must be something you know very little about.
How do you know nobody else is around? I've walked my dogs in areas where there "wasn't anybody around" but quite frequently there's other people around. More than once other dogs have run up to us (and with two dogs who have been attacked by loose dogs, I get really pissed off really fast).
They have these things called “dog parks” to do that. Keep your animal on leash.
Most pitbulls are fine. The problem is if it does attack your child stands no chance like it would against other breeds.
There are hundreds of dog breeds out there why take a chance on one responsible for 80% of fatalities? Makes no sense to me.

You avoided the question. What do you expect the advantage of ‘addressing’ the ‘perceived issue’ with the moron is going to be?
The comfort after the fact of being able to say, “I told you so”?
Well the question is stupid so it didn't warrant a response. Why do you feel there needs to be an advantage? If you have something to say then be a man and say it to the persons face instead of talking about them behind their back. That is not only being a Karen, it's being a coward.
I think "they" prefer to be called "Kevins". When you mislabel them as "Karens" you are trying to gender shame "them".
You are probably correct, on the other hand if they're going to act like a Karen they are getting called a Karen.I think "they" prefer to be called "Kevins". When you mislabel them as "Karens" you are trying to gender shame "them".
I think you’re too stupid to formulate a response.
To make it worth doing.
I forget the kinds of things that aren’t obvious to stupid people.
Unwise. Morons tend to be as violent as they are stupid, and make choices to demonstrate it.
Are you that guy that challenged someone to come fight in his driveway?
You sound just like that guy.
If not responding to an idiotic question makes me stupid then I guess I can live with that.
If it's worth talking about to another neighbor then is worth talking to the person that is the subject on the conversation.
Are you scared of your own shadow?
Not me, I would never wait to get to my driveway. If I felt the need to put your lights out I would just do it with zero warning. But this has really nothing to do with being scared to visit with a neighbor about a concern wit their dog. Time to grow up jr.
