      It depends on the country and the context.

      In the USA, yeah it will be used for racist reasons. But China bans pretty much every major dog breed in large cities and I don't think it's for racist reasons.

      It's much like voter ID laws (correct me if I'm wrong here), in America they're racist and used to prevent BIPOC from voting, but in other countries they're just seen as normal, mainly due to standard government issued IDs.

        I don't think bans on any animals are okay no matter who is doing them.

          Personally, in really dense urban environments I understand. There's little room for the larger dogs to exercise there anyways.

          But countrywide yeah I agree with you, no need for that.

          On a lighter note, you're sure about any animals? I would really like a ban on the local naive wildlife wrangler trying to tame and have a pet lion, hyena or hippo lol.

            Yeah but people in this thread are showing their ass.

            Anti-pitbull hysteria is born out of racism I already proved my case in my prior effort post.

            Domesticated animals and wild animals are not the same this is a false equivalence and I will not be answering any more questions but rather referring you to my prior effort post.

            Anti-pitbull shit is just racism I don't feel the need to explain myself again.

                idk if you're not old enough to remember it or not but there has been massive amounts of racist propaganda around bully breeds and people of color in general and conflating the two. It's also born out of scientific racism and implying that genetics are a primary factor driving behavior,

                I'm not here to relitigate this shit.

                Anti-pitbull hate is inextricably intertwined with racism. This is not up for debate.

                    okay but this happened in the US and it's a very real problem here.

                    I'm not doing this again you can read my original post and stop concern trolling,

                    Pitbull hysteria in the US is racist. FULL STOP.

                    Arguing against this fact is very fucking sus.

                        Really moving them goalposts.

                        You're trying to make it about all dogs when I'm specifically talking about the hate directed at pits and their owners.

                        I'm disengaging and would kindly ask you to as well.

                            The post was about pits, your their initial comment was deflecting it to all dogs. That's it I'm done.

                            Also :rat-salute: I don't want anyone to think I have animosity toward them this is just a topic that is close to me.

        Okay but personal phobias are often used to justify reactionary legislation and banning specific categories of dogs is a lot like gun control, it will be used for reactionary purposes. The problems with dogs can be better solved by overthrowing capitalism.

          i just wish everyone would leash 100% of the time (except off leash parks). I literally wouldn't have any problem with dogs if they did. I bike a lot which throws at least 50% of dogs into a frenzy, it's crazy i get chased almost everytime i go out in the woods and sometimes on the road :(

            Yeah sure leashes are good and people should leash their dogs but that has no bearing on the fact that anti-pitbull legislation/hatred is rooted in racism.
