Look at how hurt she is because the cat is being such a meanie. She just wants to play!
Are some breeds actually more predisposed to being agressive?
In my personal experience I rotweillers (spelling) seem really scary. But I could be misreading. Also seems like shitheads who want a "vicious junkyard dog" type of deal go for rotweillers often.
Counterpoint: I have never met a Chihuahua that was not a spawn a Satan, delenda est Chihuahua
I have met a few really great ones. My friend that coincidentally also owned a wonderful pitbull also rescued a Chihuahua. The thing with little toy dogs like that is that lots of people who have them don't bother to train them at all because they can't really do any damage to anyone or anything and so you get lots of absent minded irresponsible owners.
No, no animals are predisposed to any specific behaviour or temperament. This is why it is safe to be around wolves, bears or sharks provided they have been properly socialized and raised in loving environments.
I can't feel if you are being serious or doing a redditism
I kinda want to tell you to fuck off, but also I literally was cuddling a wolfdog hybrid yesterday who was very sweet.
This post is kind of dismissive.
Pitbulls cause the most dog-related deaths in the US, when compared to other breeds. I too have met very sweet pitbulls and think they look really cute, but they are a high-risk dog to own. This is not their fault-- centuries of breeding for hunting (and later, pitbull fighting) have resulted in breed-specific traits.
In the 1800s, they were hunting dogs. Their job was to lock their jaw on the face/ neck of a large animal (often a bear or wild hog) so that hunters could kill it. It's no mistake that many pitbull attack injuries today are facial injuries. Most dogs are likely to bite and let go, but pit bulls have a strong instinct to lock on and shake, causing bigger medical problems for victims.
Again, this is really not their fault, and honestly, it's not really the fault of owners either. I don't think it's fair to insist that people train them, and the alternative is that they could kill or maim someone. Owners have it rough because many of the traits they were bred for are traits we insist have to be trained out of them. (Plus, even well-trained pitbulls can attack when made nervous or confronted by a stranger they find threatening.)
I do have friends with pitbulls and I get that this is a sensitive subject, but we don't have to push away reality just to express that we think a dog is cute.
Did you read the effort post I linked?
It is not "because I think they're cute" that is dismissive.
Pitbull hysteria was fueled by racism and redlining.
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
