I thought this was about the singer.
Retaliation isn’t very wholesome.
I had two roommates who both had pitbulls. Both very loving owners. These dogs were treated right. But they could not coexist.
After one fight too many, one of the owners got mauled by his own dog after trying to break the dogs up. He almost lost his hand.
Ban pitbulls.
I like pitbulls and don’t know if this is bait (perhaps you didn’t realize the obvious response you’d get?) but this post should be removed either way.
Worst comment section I’ve ever seen in this community
So glad the UK outlawed these bully xl things. Not a day goes by it doesn’t maul one child or another
Fuckin dog racist.
Wow, lots of people with strong feelings whose version of “I did my research!” is remembering what stories the newspapers wrote because they knew it would spark outrage and attract eyeballs, and hearsay on friend-of-a-friend stories.
So called “bully breeds” are the best dogs I’ve ever met. I fucking love cuddling with those meatheads. Cane Corsos, Dobermans, and Rottweilers are amazing, loyal, and loving, too.
I’ve been bitten and needed stitches from both a Chihuahua and a Poodle. My daughter was bit by a absolute shit of a Bichon, and my ex was bit by a Husky when she was a kid. Fuck those dogs we should outlaw and euthanize them all, right breed-banners? Or maybe it does indeed have to do a LOT with nurture, and very little with nature? (or in the case of my ex (according to her Mom) because she wouldn’t stop harassing the dog).
However, I’ve met some nice poodles and chihuahuas and huskies too (not bichons though, little assholes), but I’m not so fucking dumb and shallow as to say we need to outlaw them all, just that owners should absolutely be responsible and liable for their pets’ behaviour.
PS - OP your dogs are cute as hell. Look at those smiles!
Thank you, and yes, your absolutely right. Any dog is capable of violence, but I think the reason pitbulls have this reputation is because many people want them as an attack/defense dog and don’t actually know how to care for them in a way that keeps them calm.
This is the “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” argument.
Sufficiently powerful projectile weapons require a license, training, etc. Dogs should be no different.
Those aren’t actually OPs dogs. This is a bait.
Your right. One of them is my friends. I never claimed both were mine.
Cute, but should be put down as all others of this race
Can we put down the bad humans too then? Dogs aren’t inherently bad or good, it’s how they are treated and the resources they have access to, strangely much like us humans?! Weird!
Except this breed was created by us specifically for its violence. It’s in their genes. As far as I know there was no artificial breeding for pure violent humans. We created this abomination, we should put and end to it
We created all dog breeds. Violence is not something found in DNA, but keep trying that angle. You are just scared of them, and fair enough, but let’s not pretend the dogs only purpose in life is to bite people. Most dog breeds do not serve their purpose any longer and we buy them because we like them. Many dogs are violent and untrained. If pit bulls did not exist, you would ha e another breed in its place you are complaining about because people are terrible and irresponsible. Don’t blame the dog, blame the owner. My friend hates cocker spaniels because one bit her face when she was an infant and the memory has never left her. Should we ban that breed too?
Tell me when a cocker reach this kind of mortality then I will tell you to ban them too
Don’t create excuses. Not all dogs are the same, this dog is a murder machine and should be put down. It’s not their fault, but this doesn’t change the fact that they were bred to maximum damage
My thoughts are just based in numbers, yours, not so much
I am saying that if pit bulls did not exist, another breed would fill that pie chart because PEOPLE are terrible and irresponsible. Anything in the wrong hands can be a problem. It’s why most countries try to ban assault rifles from private use because they don’t solve any problems and are very dangerous in the wrong hands, but ultimately it is the hands that cause the issue, not the “thing”.
Your are just ignoring the fact that pitbulls are just more efficient in killing than any other race. Even if they got replaced, it would result in less deaths because not a single breed compares to them in terms of killing.
So yes, pitbulls are assault rifles, German Shepards are 38 revolvers and your friends Cocker are butter knifes. Changing one to another is safer to everyone
Sure, still doesn’t solve the problem though, does it?
I am convinced this is a troll.
Retaliation to haters posted in a wholesome sub.
Pit Bulls being the most hated breed of dog out there (and for good reason).
OP calling everyone a “Dog Racist”
Each year 60% to 80% of dog attacks are caused by a single breed, fuck these animals. A Chihuahua may be more aggressive, but a person can easily fight those things off, a pit will lock onto anything and won’t release till they’re dead.
Retrievers retrieve, Pointers point & Pit Bulls are made to fight, its in their nature.
Edit: go ahead and down vote OP. Watch as that doesn’t change my opinion.
Just a head’s up but not a single police department in the nation DNA tests or even has a spot on their reports to label which specific breed of dog caused the attack, there is also roughly a dozen different breeds on the list of dogs commonly mistaken for pits.
Anybody telling you pits are responsible for any percentage of dog attacks is lying by giving a number not scientifically achieved.
there is also roughly a dozen different breeds on the list of dogs commonly mistaken for pits.
Do you have any evidence to support this statement? It would need to be pretty substantial to offset the large proportion of Pit Bull breeds.
I dont say this to be dismissive, I would actually be pretty interested in reading what you have.
< crickets >
A year late and a dollar short… Literally.
Go away.
You are not the only person on the Internet. Just because you are no longer interested doesn’t mean this isn’t a valuable contribution. Go do something nice for someone, you owe us for being a dick.
I owe you… Fucking lol.
Go chat with the other loser trolling year old posts, you can have a great conversation with each other.
Go away.
In 2009, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia released a five-year review of dog-bite injuries. The review states that 51 percent of attacks were made by pit bulls.

In 2009, another study was published by the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology. The study ran for 15 years and it has concluded that pit bulls, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers are among the most common breeds that cause fatal dog attacks in Kentucky State.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19696575/
In 2011, the Annals of Surgery published a study, which concluded that Pitbull attacks lead to more expensive hospital bills, higher risk of death, and higher morbidity rates compared to other breeds of dogs.
Found the bot with the copypasta.
Your data was true 13-15 years ago, doesn’t mean it is true today.
I did not call everyone a dog rasict, I called the person say it was good that pitbull were being put down in the UK a dog rasict. But by your logic, we should have killed all Germans in WW2 because Germany was the home on the Nazi party and killed millions of people, but that’s wrong because not every Germany killed a person. And to say that we should kill something because it’s “in there nature” is harmful to all life because it sets an unrealistic expectation of what it is like. I’m not gonna deny that pitbulls attack people, but a dog rarely attacks people for nothing, and often the reason is out of fear or abuse.
Dogs aren’t people. We kill it eliminate troublesome breeds/species all the time. Ex: Japanese hornet
Japanese hornet was an invasive species to the Americans and thus was removed, but it’s not being exterminated in mass in Japan and other areas the hornets call home. And for you to say that because an animal isn’t human is basically saying it has no soul and doesn’t feel emotions, or at least that how you come across.
- No proof souls exist
- Are you a strict vegan? Otherwise you recognize animals are below humans.
- Animals obviously feel emotions.
